PEES 4200W- Physiology of Exercise Lab #2: Metabolism and Energy Expenditure 1. The Respiratory exchange ratio is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced and oxygen consumed. The ratio indicates the energy that the subject is expending for indirect calorimetry‚ how efficient the subject ’s body is at utilizing the oxygen inhaled‚ as well as the main substrate being used for energy during varying intensities of exercise. During rest the volume of carbon dioxide was 0.73L/min‚ the volume

Acids and Bases Mirza Hasan Mammadov Acids and bases are really important in our daily day life. So let’s start with telling the definitions of them. Starting with acids‚ they are a substance which dissociates in water in order to produce one or more hydrogen ions. Also we can write H+ instead of hydrogen ion. Bases have the same definition‚ although the difference is that it firm hydroxide ions instead of hydrogen ions. We can write OH- instead of hydroxide ion. All alkali is bases but not

253- TA: Gia Hoang Lab 1: Effect of pH on a Food Preservative 9-1-2011 Purpose The purpose of this lab was to determine if a new substance forms when sodium benzoate is placed in a simulated stomach acid. Theory Benzoic acid can be found in a wide variety of plants. It is used as a natural preservative in many foods. Sodium benzoate‚ the salt of benzoic acid‚ has become a more popular choice as a food preservative because it is more soluble in water than benzoic acid. Many food items found

Proteins are a diverse group of macromolecules with many different functions (Mbuthia‚ 2012). Many are structural components of bone‚ muscle‚ hair‚ tissue‚ etc. Others are enzymes that speed up cellular reactions. All proteins are made up of amino acids (Johnson‚ 2010). The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether peptide bonds are present in various food substances. The color violet will indicate the presence of proteins. The more intense the color is‚ the greater number of peptide bonds

Organic Chemistry II Lab 9 Fermentation of a Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose * Introduction Ethanol is one of the oldest alcohols and also the least toxic one. Industrially‚ ethanol is made most economically by hydration of ethylene. However‚ ethanol that is intended for human consumption must‚ by law‚ be prepared by fermentation. By either method‚ ethanol‚ of course‚ has the same formula‚ structure‚ and properties. The fermentation takes place with the assistance of enzymes from yeast

EXPERIMENT I Photoreduction of Benzophenone Introduction The study of chemical reactions‚ isomerizations and physical behavior that may occur under the influence of visible and/or ultraviolet light is called Photochemistry. The fundamental principles for understanding photochemical transformations are that light must be absorbed by a compound in order for a photochemical reaction to take place‚ and that for each photon of light absorbed by a chemical system only one molecule is activated for

A vigorous stream of air is being drawn through the solution for about 1-2 hours 4. 35ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid is added 5. The solution is then being evaporated on a steam bath until a crust forms over the surface. 6.

Ashley Spees CHM 261- Batzer Chem Final Write Up- Kool Aid Lab Total Acid This part of the lab requires titration of Kool Aid with an NaOH solution. The reason titrations are used is to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by reacting a strong acid with a strong base. Titrations are hard to accomplish‚ though‚ due to the fact that indicators used to show the endpoints are very sensitive and one drop could make the solution titrate past its endpoint.

Title: Recrystallization of Pure Phthalic Acid‚ Naphthalene‚ and Anthracene Introduction Recrystallization is a method used for purifying solid organic compounds. It is the most efficient method to purify and remove impurities from a solid to allow a crystal to grow. The method is when the solute in a hot solvent yields to a solution. Once the solvent cools‚ the solution is saturated with respect to the solute‚ which is when it recrystallizes. A crystal is the end result of the method and it is a
