Toxicology Lab 1. In this investigation‚ a wide range of concentrations of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution were created and the effects that they had on radish seeds were tested. This ultimately created a doseresponse experiment in which it was detectable whether or not radish seeds were a reliable bioassay for the toxicity of NaCl. The goal of this experiment was to determine a correlation between toxicity and seed germination/radicle

Calorimetry To determine the specific heat of a metal and its approximate atomic mass. To determine the heat of neutralization for a strong acid-strong base reaction. To determine the quantity and direction of heat flow for the dissolution of salt. Post Lab Questions and Answers: 1. In parts A and B in‚ the calorimeter‚ although a good insulator‚ absorbs some heat when the system is above room temperature. Is the reported value for the specific heat of the metal too high or too low? Explain. Is the reported

Lab 5 The Diffraction Grating Chinua McDonald Objective: To measure the wavelength of light with a diffraction grating. Theory: The two types of diffraction gratings are the transmission and reflection gratings. They are made by ruling on a piece of glass or metal a number of evenly spaced lines with a fine diamond point. Diffraction phenomena can be analyzed in terms of Huygens’ principle‚ according to which every point on the wave front of a wave should be considered as a source

64. Interpret the following results: A. The color of the medium remains purple or light blue-gray; there is also no change in the texture of the medium. * No change B. Change in the color of litmus from purple to pink or pink-red throughout the tube. Upon further incubation a white ring of litmus forms at the bottom of the tube at the pink-red color is now present only at the top of the tube. Still further incubation leads to the formation of a rennet curd at the bottom of the

Chem 201 Lab October 21‚ 2011 Lab #6: Preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane – an Sn 1 Reaction Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to prepare an alkyl halide‚ 2-chloro-2-methylbutane by reacting 2-methyl -2-butanol (t-amyl alcohol) with hydrochloric acid. Alkyl halides are of wide interest because they are widespread and have diverse beneficial and detrimental impacts .The overall reaction is given below: Procedure 1 ml of 2-methyl-2-butanol was measured using 1 ml syringe and

How do limiting factors affect the rate of photosynthesis? Rate is the measurement of an amount of product or time. In the case of the rate of photosynthesis‚ it is measuring the gain of mass or growth over time. If the plant is an aquatic one that grows in water the rate of photosynthesis can be measured by counting oxygen bubbles or the volume of gas produced in a measured time period. A limiting factor is something that is present in the environment that has a short supply and because of that

Jeanine Campa Biology 101 10/20/2010 Ecology-Interspecific Interactions Lab Intro: Ecology is the study of how organisms interact within their environment. Every species interacts with its surroundings‚ whether it’s within their populations‚ community‚ ecosystem‚ etc. In this lab‚ we will be comparing two different species and how they grow alone as well as together‚ in the same environment. More specifically‚ in this lab‚ we will be dealing with one of the most important ideas in ecology‚ the

Lab 2: Protiens and Starches Purpose: An introduction to testing procedures for two large‚ organic molecules: proteins and starches. Hypothesis: In the test for protiens the water‚ being that it is inorganic will not test positive for protiens; it will serve as the negative control. The milk and 50% egg solution should test positive for protien as they are subsatnce derived from animals which contain protiens in order to carry the functions of life. The sucrose will test negative due

PRACTICAL 1 POST-LAB QUESTIONS Part 1 4. Line of best fit‚ it decreases twists that a/some deviant point(s) could bring about due to the errors that may have happened during the experimental process. This is better than connecting all the data points and assuming all the points collected from the experiment are totally accurate as there are still chances for the experimental errors to happen throughout the experiment process. 5. Yes‚ if the absorbance of the sample appeared to be outside the linear
