Lab Report 1: Natural Selection Introduction: In today’s lab we learned how natural selection and survival of the fitness took place in Darwin theory by testing it out with four different utensils which were Spoon‚ Fork‚ chopstick‚ and clothespin which represent the four different types of bird beaks. Our goal was to see which one utensil ( bird beak) would outcome the other four utensil ( bird beak) by being able to survive with the limit amount of food‚ the environmental chances‚ and see who

October 17 & October 24‚ 2012 How is Aspirin Made? This lab is about synthesizing aspirin using a hotplate to heat the reaction. It involved vacuum filtration‚ recrystallization‚ and comparing the properties of aspirin with salicylic aspirin. The first thing we did in this lab was make a hot-water bath by putting a beaker with water on a hot plate. After measuring out 2.1 grams of salicylic acid and 3 ml of acetic anhydride‚ we mixed the two together‚ along with 3 drops of sulfuric acid. We

Synthesis of Butyl Benzoate Using Phase Transfer Catalysis The objective of the experiment is to synthesize the butly benzoate by nucleophilic substitution and characterize it by IR spectroscopy. The percent yield of the final product is determined after the synthesis. Procedures: 2.0 mL of 1-bromobutane‚ 3.0 g of sodium benzoate‚ 5.0 mL of water‚ 4 drops of Aliquat 336‚ and a boiling stone were placed in a 50mL round-bottomed flask. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hour and the flask

The Virtual Lab – ELISA Test Lab: Immunology 09/04/2013 Instructors: Dr. Charlie Wilson Written by: Dipen Patel I. Objective: The purpose of the lab was to learn the procedure of performing an ELISA test to determine whether a particular antibody is present in a patient’s blood sample. ELISA is an abbreviation for “Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay." II. Introduction: The interaction of antigen and antibody outside the body can be used to determine if patient

I.Purpose The purpose of this lab is to show how potential energy and kinetic energy is shown and transferred using a model rollercoaster. This lab also demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Energy. II.Introduction Potential and Kinetic energy have a very big relationship. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that “Energy cannot be destroyed or created‚ but can be transformed or transferred.” This lab will help demonstrate this law and show the conversion between Kinetic and Potential

McLean 1 Creating Acetylene Gas Introduction The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel
