Formal Lab Report #1 I. Basics Title of the Experiment: The Empirical Formula of an Oxide Authors: Section Number: Chemistry Location and Date II. Abstract The aim in this lab was to determine the empirical formula of an oxide of magnesium through combustion in air. This was achieved by heating an established mass of magnesium in air inside of a crucible‚ ultimately attaining a compound that contained Mg and O. The major result of the experiment was the empirical formula of the oxide of magnesium

Title: The Effect of Nicotine on the Heart Rate of the Lumbriculus Variegatus Introduction: Background- This lab is being done to demonstrate the effects of stimulants on the circulatory system of blackworms. In this lab‚ the stimulant we have chosen to use is Nicotine. A stimulant is an agent that causes increased activity‚ especially in the nervous or cardiovascular systems. In this lab‚ we will put blackworms into the Nicotine to look at the differences in pulse rates when compared to a control

IB Chemistry Experiment 4 Composition of a Post-1983 Penny Lab Report Background: Through the use of percent composition one can easily find out how much of a certain element is in a compound or an item such as a post-1983 penny. The experiment will be using HCl a strong acid to dissolve all the zinc inside the outer copper shell. The reaction follows as such; Zn+2HCLZnCl2+H2‚ but there will be no reaction with copper. The portion that will be measured is the mass of copper left after all of

Introduction Human cilia play a critical part in human processes. Human cilia are hair-like projections that extend from the surface of a cell. Cilia are capable of rhythmic motion and acts together from separate strands so that the cell is capable of movement. Flagella are a whip-like structure that is found in cells as well that allow for the movement of the cell. Human cilia are characterized as having “metachronal rhythm" and this means is a rhythm that "changes time" to produce wave. The beating

soaked it in water. Then they tied one side off to form a bag. They then rubbed the other end of the bag to open it up and then are able to fill the bag with solution. The next step of the lab was to test for the presence of glucose in a 15% glucose and 1% starch. Then they took the 15% glucose and 1% starch and took 15 mL and placed them in enclosed bags. Jaydon‚ Jacob and Tyler then tie off the bag leaving room for expandable contents in the solution. Then they took distilled water and filled

Introduction:Spirometry is the classic pulmonary function test‚ which measures the volume of air inspired or expired as a function of time. It can monitor quiet breathing and thereby measure tidal volume‚ and also trace deep inspirations and expirations to give information about vital capacity. Spirometrymay also be used to measure forced expiration rates and volumes and to compute FEV1/FVC ratios. Spirometry provides an objective measurement of lung function. It will measure the Expiratory Vital

The thickness of the foam layer that was created in each tube was measured in millimeters. The effect of Temperature on Catalase The effect temperature had on the action of each catalase. In the liver cells‚ the hypothesis was tested based on: Temperature has no effect on catalase activity. First‚ 50 μl of liver of extract was added along with 1 mL of water in four test tubes. Then

refracted‚ by the angles and plane faces of the prism and each wavelength of light is refracted by a slightly different amount” (Davidson‚ 2015). This means white light is every visible light‚ meaning white light would best be absorbed by plants. You could test this by conducting an experiment with several plants‚ all of the same height and breed‚ leaving half in the sunlight and moonlight and the other half under lights that aren’t white‚ blue‚ or yellow to see which light would have the best photosynthetic
