this recrystallization lab in order to achieve the desired results‚ which included heating the solvent‚ completing a hot filtration‚ completing a vacuum filtration of a chilled solution‚ as well as drying and calculating the weight and melting point of the final version of the sample. I began the lab with 1.5 grams of the impure acetanilide solute and ended the lab with 0.05 grams of pure acetanilide crystals. The percentage of pure acetanilide I recovered during this lab was 3.33%‚ which is lower

Krupa Desai Cell Biology April 3‚ 2013 Lab: Biosynthesis of Starch Introduction: In this lab we learned the concept and procedure of synthesizing starch. We also learned the effects of pH and temperature on the reaction rates of amylase.. In the process of the synthesis lab we learned phosphorylation using a potato‚ which was what we synthesized. The phosphorylation took place after the addition of primer. There are two different types of starches used are amylose and amylopectin. To test

Ashley Huston ILab‚ Week #2 CATIONS AND ANION LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate a double-replacement reaction of ionic compounds. In this experiment‚ you will combine two ionic compounds. Both compounds are soluble in water. If a response happens between these two compounds‚ then a precipitate will form because one of the two resultant compounds is not soluble in water. This is a hint that a reaction took place. Cations are positively charged ions that are attracted

Pre-Lab Work Sheet Which type of compound usually has higher melting points: ionic compounds or covalent compounds? What is the reason for this difference in melting points? (3 points) Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than covalent compounds. The electrostatic attraction in an ionic bond is very strong hence a lot of heat energy is required to break it down‚ ionic bonds have high melting and boiling points. In covalent bonds‚ the intermolecular forces are very weak and

AP Lab #5 Plant Pigments/Photosynthesis I. Identifying the Effects of Different Variables of Light and Carbon Dioxide on the Rate of Photosynthesis and Observing the Separation of Pigments Through Chromatography II. Introduction Plants have a variety of pigments‚ all of which absorb a different color of light. The three main pigments are chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b and carotenoids. Chlorophyll a is the primary plant pigment that absorbs red and blue light‚ which ultimately appears green to the human eye

Flame Lab Objective: How an electron absorbs energy and re-emits it as light and why different elements have different spectra. Also to learn how to use flame tests to determine the identity of unknown mixtures. Hypothesis: We know that certain compounds will burn certain flame colors because they emit different wave lengths. Introduction: Neils Bohr made the “Bohr’s Model” in 1922‚ he found that electron travel in specified fields – which‚ when excited‚ will jump to different rings

Mirror Lab One air inhalation hazard I observed during the Mirror Lab tour was for rhodite 906. In a large open room and workspace‚ the mirror lab utilized rhodite frequently to polish large new mirrors. This is concerning because this is a hazardous dust particle with its particle size at about 1.5 micrometers. The movement of these particles are heighted by water mist placed above the mirror to keep the rhodite from solidifying. The employees also sprayed down the mirror frequently which further

Use a study guide only please and note two of the answers are wrong regarding conversions.!! Up to you to figure which ones. Just know its nice to compare answers to see if your on the right track. LAB 1 1. Describe the function of the following pieces of safety equipment and how each might be used: (10 points) a. Eye Wash (2 points) a. The function of the eye wash station is to flush your eyes of any chemicals or other harmful liquids you may have gotten in your eyes. You would

This lab report will be detailing the steps taken and the results discovered when using spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny and the thicknes of the copper layer on the copper-clad penny. After 1982‚ copper coating has been used in the creation of the penny because the cost of pure copper has increase to the point that the amount needed t omake a penny cost far more than the actual value of the penny. This lab allowed us to see just how much copper coating
