Balance Lab of a Copper Slug and Sodium Chloride (NaCl) on a Centigram and Electronic Scale PURPOSE/INTRODUCTION The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to weigh a substance on a centigram scale and an electronic scale through direct weight or by weight difference. The hypothesis is that all scales used should show the same weight for a given sample. The experiment should show precision and accuracy of the equipment being used. This will allow a better understanding on how to properly

February 20th‚ 2014 Lab report 4 Abstract This pBlu lab had for purpose to present the changes of the strain of E. coli bacteria due to new genetic information being introduced into the cell. In this experiment we are freezing and heat shocking the E. Coli bacteria that is then forced to take the plasmid DNA. The E. coli then transforms the pBLu plasmid‚ which carries the genes coding for two identifiable phenotypes. After following the Carolina Biological steps our lab worked well and we able

Solubility‚ Crystallization and Melting Point Determination Post-Lab Discussion Guidelines: Part 2A and 2C: Draw tables (as in textbook) showing which combinations were soluble/miscible and which were insoluble/immiscible. Explain why this is so. Why are certain chemicals soluble/miscible when others are not? Part 3A: Calculate % recovery (this is not the same as % yield – see handout from the first day of lab if you’re confused)‚ and determine melting point of your product. Discuss % recovery

This experiment called for determining the salinity through mass. To determine mass‚ a small‚ cleaned watch glass was labeled with the sample number on the bottom using a permanent marker. The watch glass was weighed in grams. 2 mLs of the sodium chloride solution was pipetted into a 10 mL graduated cylinder that would be transferred to the watch glass. After this transfer‚ the watch glass and sample were reweighed and recorded. To figure out the mass of the solution‚ the plain watch glass was subtracted

two metals. This will be done by reacting the zinc with hydrochloric acid to form zinc ions in a single replacement reaction. The acid reacts with the zinc but not copper. The reaction of zinc metal with the hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Safety: Wear your safety goggles and apron If you spill Hydrochloric acid on yourself‚ rinse with water Procedure: DAY I 1. Take a post-1983 penny and‚ using a triangular file‚ etch an “X” on one side of the penny. Also etch a notch

Alexis Becker Pre-Lab Experiment 7 Avinash Pallagani Investigating Stoichiometry with sodium salts of carbonic acid 4/2/14 A summary of the concepts: The purpose of this lab is to better understand “stoichiometry”. We will be reacting sodium carbonate (NaHCO)3 and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical reaction looks like this: NaHCO3 + HCl = NaCl + H2O + CO2 CAUTION: Be especially

Preparation of Esters Introduction Esters are known for their pleasant smells such as perfumes and artificial flavorings in contained labs. They are formed when a carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol and a strong acid such as a catalyst called sulfuric acid (H2SO4) for this lab. The structural formula for esters can be represented as R-COO-R’. The R and R’ symbolizes different alkyl groups that can be combined to the ester. When naming an ester the first part comes from the alcohol followed
