The goal of this project is to test whether alcohol and caffeine has an effect on heart rate‚ using the freshwater crustacean‚ Daphnia magna‚ as the experimental subject. For humans‚ alcohol works as a depressant‚ slowing down the heart rate of the consumer; caffeine works as a stimulant‚ increasing the heart rate of the consumer. The heart depends on an internal pacemaker system to keep it pumping consistently and at the right speed. Alcohol disturbs this pacemaker system and causes the heart

Determining the unknown concentration of HCl via heat of neutralization of a reaction involving strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes. Myeongwon Lee 20522885 Partner: Frank Wong TA: Afsoon CHEM 120L – Earth Science & Chem 149 Section: 004 Tuesday‚ November 26th‚ 2013 Introduction All chemical changes are accompanied by change in energy and this energy is in form of heat. The energy change of a reaction that happens at constant pressure is defined as heat of reaction or enthalpy change and the symbol

Effect of Exercise on Heart Rate. Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out how different intensities of exercise effect the heart rate I will measure it in beats per minute using a polar heart rate monitor. Hypothesis: I predict that as I increase the intensity of the exercise I do‚ that my heart rate will increase. This is because as I exercise more intensely I will need more blood to my muscles to supply oxygen and take away carbon dioxide; therefore my heart is going to have to beat

The Effects of Temperature‚ Acetylcholine‚ and Adrenaline on the Heart Rate of Daphnia magna Hieu Duong 6 April 2011 Introduction The heart is a muscular organ that constantly pumps blood throughout the human body. The continuous flow of blood creates a system for vital organs within the body to gain oxygen and nutrients. The timely delivery of oxygen to the body’s organs is very crucial. Brain cells‚ for example‚ will die within minutes if the flow of oxygen is obstructed. For the

What effect does temperature have on the oxygen production of enzymes in an animal’s liver? A temperature which is too high would be able to produce little to no oxygen because of the extreme temperature. Just like a temperature too high‚ a temperature which is too low would also produce little to no oxygen for the same reason. Animals that have livers are considered warm-blooded‚ with very warm temperatures; therefore it would make sense for a warm temperature to produce the most oxygen; but one

the graph‚ you can see that there is a relation between the rate of reaction and the surface area. The larger the surface are‚ the faster the rate of reaction seems to be. However‚ although the grain with the largest surface area (the smallest grain) reached the highest point within the shortest amount of time‚ its end result was still lower then the medium sized grain. The explanation for this result is relatively easy. The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the size of the

out so that tubes containing a reaction solution of the Amylase enzyme and starch were simultaneously mixed. The reactions were then introduced to I2-KI‚ which stopped the reactions‚ at two minute intervals. Each of these trials was repeated three times to ensure proper accuracy. After concluding the reactions they were placed into a spectrophotometer (A580) for analysis. Graphing the values of the absorbance to time for each pH it was found that the rate of reactions in the neutral pH solutions were

accomplish the following objectives. The first objective aims to synthesize an isomer of alkenes. This was done by converting maleic acid to fumaric acid. This conversion was accomplished by applying a heat-catalyzed reaction on maleic acid diluted in distilled water and mixing it with HCl using a reflux set-up. A reflex set up is a distillation set up wherein the set up differed because it is inverted vertically. This was done in order to break the pi bond to allow the rotation about the remaining sigma

VIBRATIONAL-ROTATIONAL SPECTRA OF HCl Physical Chemistry Laboratory II‚ CHEM 3155.001 April 20‚ 2012 Introduction and Objective The experimental objective of this lab was to collect an IR spectrum of gaseous HCl and from it the experimental rotational constant‚ B‚ and fundamental vibration frequency‚ v0‚ can be calculated(1). The concept of infrared spectroscopy deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Molecules absorb at specific resonant frequencies that are characteristic

Hoitt CHEM 105 Lab 11/29/2012 Lab # 11 – Acid - Base Titration Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to determine the molarity (M) of an unknown HCl solution. A NaOH solution will be made and its molarity calculated. A sample of the NaOH solution will be titrated against the unknown HCl solution to calculated the volume needed to neutralize it. With these volumes the unknown molarity can be calculated. Theory: Solutions are made up of solvents and solutes
