Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the percent mass of Cu in a penny and see if the fabricator that makes the planchets for the government is using the correct amounts of Cu in the pennies. The composition of a standard penny is 97.5% Zn and 2.5% Cu. In the lab we will be using Beer’s Law (A=elc+b where A is solution absorbance‚ e is a constant called molar absorbency‚ l is the length in cm‚ and c is the concentration). Using Beer’s Law in this lab a colorimeter is used to find the

Lab report is one way we used during of after an experiment in a laboratory to subtly record and discuss the experiment. During a lab‚ we sometimes can observe only the physical part of the experiment‚ or may be some visible chemical changes. These changes indicate that the experiment we do is successful or not. However‚ in order to understand and achieve more from just simply doing the experiment‚ we write lab report to more profoundly understand the internal meanings of the experiment we do‚ and

Leo Tran IB Chemistry SL II R5 Ms. Crane January 4‚ 2012 Restoring Balance LAB Pre-Lab Questions 1. The solubility of iodine increases because the position of equilibrium has shifted towards the triiodide side of the reaction. Addition of the reactants causes an increase in the product which is directly related to the solubility of iodine in water in this case. 2. Ammonium chloride will be more soluble in hot water as in an endothermic reaction‚ increasing the temperature (which

Exocytosis Lab Report Rough Draft Abstract: In Paramecium caudatum‚ trichocysts are 10^3 secretory vesicles that are released from the cytoplasm. We first observed how the presence of Alcian blue dye triggers normal secretion of trichocysts‚ and we then tested four different hypotheses in order to determine how the presence of Ca++ ions in the extracellular and intracellular environment affects the secretion of trichocysts. Our first our hypothesis tested whether extracellular calcium is required

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

Collision Lab Simulation Purpose: To study elastic and inelastic collisions in one-dimension. Background Information: Momentum: is a measure of mass in motion. It is the product of mass x velocity. Conservation of Momentum: in the absence of external forces‚ such as friction‚ the linear momentum of a system remains constant. Procedure: 1. Open web browser and go to the site: http://phet.colorado.edu 2. Click “play with sims”‚ then “physics”‚ and then “motion” 3. Find the “Collision Lab” 4

Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to synthesise acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) by creating a reaction between acetic anhydride and salicylic acid. This was be accomplished through the use of recrystallization. Acetic anhydride and salicylic acid are mixed together‚ and then acidified by the addition of a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid‚ which catalyzed the reaction. The percent yield is calculated to determine the effectiveness of the reaction in preparing the desired product (aspirin)
