conclusion is that the higher salt concentration in the solution the greater the decrease in mass of the potato will be‚ the graph I have drawn supports my conclusion. The 10% salt concentration shows that on average the potato loses 2.6% of its overall mass. 20% salt concentration shows a further decrease in mass this time it is an average of 13% overall mass decrease. 30% salt concentration shows an average decrease of 18.8% in overall mass. The 0% salt concentration actually shows a mass increase

Isolation of Trimyristin from Nutmeg and preparation of Myristic Acid from Trimyristin by Hydrolysis Introduction Over 40% of medicinal chemicals in the world were developed from isolation of the natural source. These sources were from fungi‚ plants‚ bacteria‚ animals‚ etc. The techniques used to isolate and purify has been by extraction‚ distillation‚ recrystallization‚ and chromatography. In this experiment we will be trying to obtain a pure organic compound from a natural source. Because this

ENZYMES: BIOCATALYSIS IN ORGANIC SOLVENTS: FUNDAMENTALS ENZYMES IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS 1. Enzymes catalyze a broad spectrum of reactions with high turnover numbers. Rate enhancements approach 1012 fold. 2. Enzymes may accept a wide range of substrates. 3. Enzymes are highly regio and stereoselective. 4. Enzyme reactions take place under mild conditions; this minimizes problems of isomerization and racemization. 5. Enzymatic processes are less hazardous and polluting than conventional chemistry-based

No; the experiment was not successful‚ because it did not show the correct fluorescence gradation of the serial dilution of the DNA concentration. As shown by the picture‚ only the first drop of the DNA/EtBr mixture for the DNA standards fluoresce brightly under the UV light‚ while the other spots for both the DNA standards and the unknown DNA standards were all dimly fluoresce. This was due to pipetting error; the tip of the pipette did not touch the liquid (TE) in the micro-centrifuge‚ so no DNA

There are numerous concentration camp that were constructed across Nazi Germany from 1939-1945. During this time period‚ Jews‚ gypsies‚ homosexuals‚ and bountiful of others forced by the Nazi regime to these concentration camps. There were countless experiments performed on those who were in certain camps‚ but mostly forced labor to build items for the German army. Of all of these camps one was the most notorious‚ which was Auschwitz concentration camps. This camp was the largest of its kind‚ but

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is a way to measure the sensitivity of microbes to antibiotics or antifungals (antimicrobials). Organisms are tested for growth in various concentrations of antibiotic. This allows microbiologists to see which concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial will be effective against the pathogen. It also used for determining treatment for patients suffering from infections such as pneumonia‚ meningitis‚ endocarditis or osteomyelitis or managing the treatment of high-risk

solution is common in an average household for it is used for cooking and cleaning. By definition‚ a titration is a technique where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. Titrations are performed in chemistry‚ along with different manufacturing companies‚ to help determine the concentrations of acids and bases when they are unknown‚ when a neutralization reaction occurs. There are a couple important parts of a Titration that are imperative

In “ Did the United States put its own citizens in concentration camps during WWII” the author writes about internment camps in the U.S. In the other article “ Concentration Camps 1933 - 1939” the author writes about Concentration Camps in Germany. Although those were two camps during WWII they still were very different in their people‚ places‚ and events. The first article included a number of people‚ places‚ and events. One group of people in particular were the Japanese ( 112‚00 of them). The
