OSMOSIS LAB BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Dialysis tubing is being used to model a plasma membrane. Isotonic solutions are solutions that have the same concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane. Hypertonic solutions are solutions that have more solute to the one with less solute. Hypotonic solution are solutions that have less solute to the one with more solute. RESEARCH QUESTION:which dialysis tubing will gain the distilled water and which one will loss its content

Exercise 14: Qualitative Anion Tests PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment is to identify some commonly occurring anions & to study some of the reactions used for their identification. PROCEDURE: You must first determine to which of the three groups the various anions belong. Since no two people observe the same event in exactly the same way it is important to also conduct specific confirmation tests on the known samples of each anion. This information will help identify the anion

ABSTRACT The study aims to produce biodegradable plastic using cassava starch as its main component. Cassava starch was mixed with water‚ epoxydized soya bean oil (ESBO)‚ glycerol‚ and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The mixture was then compressed and tested. Three preparations were made from the mixture. The first preparation contained 50 grams starch‚ 50 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2.5 grams ESBO‚ and 2.5 grams glycerol. The second preparation contained 65 grams starch‚ 65 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2

There are several methods to test syneresis. Acid curds need to be formed in a glass beaker which make it easier to transfer the curds into syneresis test installations. All curds must be transferred carefully into the device‚ otherwise some soft curds were easily broken and the results would be affected. In case that some of the gel were not easily removed with the sample residues on the bottom of the beaker when transforming‚ beakers can be pre-coated with paraffin wax on the inside. Both a barrel-shaped

6. Results and Discussion 6.1. Mix Design of Cold Recycled Bituminous Mixture Compaction characteristics of untreated bitumen mixes according to Modified Proctor Test is shown in Figure 6. When the RAP content increased‚ it resulted in reduction of MDD and the corresponding increase in OMC. The decreased MDD is obtained due to the weak bond between RAP and the virgin material and also due to less fine material that plugs the voids to produce denser mix. The corresponding increase in OMC is

A buffer is an aqueous solution that allows resistance to significant change in pH when small amounts of strong acids or base are added to it. (Boundless‚ 2015) This is usually formed when a weak acid is added to a salt of its conjugate base. (Chemicool.com‚ 2014) When an Alka Seltzer tablet is dissolved in water‚ a buffer is formed when the weak acid citric acid is present with sodium citrate (citrate ion) the conjugate base (Buffer Balancing Acts Buffers‚ 2009) "Na3C3H5O7 (aq) + 3 HCl (aq)

Our next goal was to confirm the identity of our compound. We accomplished this goal by creating five reactions containing Sodium Sulfate that would confirm our compound and show its chemical properties. In each reaction‚ we replaced the presence of Sodium Sulfate with our unknown. Our first reaction was the reaction from the sulfate anion test between Sodium Sulfate and Barium Chloride. If the compound was in fact Sodium Sulfate it would produce a white precipitate and it did. The second reaction

Task 3: Tests for Anions: An Anion is an atom which is negatively charged therefore indicating a larger amount of electrons than proteins. Overall the tests for anions were mainly conclusive however 6 out of 8 of the anions we were testing for could only be determined from one specific result for example if a black precipitate formed following the tests the substance is therefore a sulphide however the same result would also show the presence of carbonate and hydrogen carbonate this therefore

In 1947‚ experiments in which small quantities of Ca2+ ions were injected directly into the cell showed that an increase in intracellular calcium led to skeletal contractions. However it was not until the early 1960s when the way calcium ions were stored in cells became clearer thanks to work from Ebashi and Lipmann. (Burgoyne and Petersen‚ 1997). Calcium signalling determines whether or not a cell is activated. It is determined by calcium-ON and calcium-OFF mechanisms. Calcium-ON is responsible
