The purpose of lab number thirteen was to examine the response of the daphnia to a chemical stimulant. Also examined was how human resting heart rates differed from the daphnia’s. Stimulants are any substances that raise the levels of activity in the body. Stimulants could be a number of things such as physical or chemical. Physical stimulus usually deal with something that affects the five senses such as sight‚ hearing these could be attributed to loud noises or too much light going into your eye

Abstract: The previous lab explored the effect of gravity on free fall. It was determined that acceleration is always constant under free fall. However‚ in this lab‚ acceleration was observed under different forces‚ other than just gravity. Therefore‚ depending on how strong the forces being exerted were‚ acceleration differed. It wasn’t constant anymore. Using a glider on a air track and a pulley‚ different masses were attached at the end of the string and the glider was allowed to move on the

neither man would expect the effect these elements could have on modern science‚ namely rockets. But creating a rocket is just combining these two gases in a closed environment‚ and one spark. This lab exemplifies just that what happens when the gases H2 and O2 are chemically combined with a spark. In this lab‚ the objective was to see how far a pipette filled H2 and O2 could travel. One half a centimeter of H2O was added to keep the gases inside‚ and make sure that only these H2 and O2 where included

We can monitor the rate at which a chemical decomposes or the rate at which a chemical substance appears. In this experiment we will be measuring the rate of decomposition of hydrogen dioxide with the following reaction: 2 H202 (aq) 4 2 H20 (l) + 02 (g) We can trap the oxygen gas created

be determined. Then by writing a balanced chemical equation and using the titration formula‚ Nb+Ma+Va=Na+MbVb ‚ the molarity is able to be determined. Procedure: 1) Using the graduated cylinder add 10.0 mL of water into the Erlenmeyer flask. 2) Add 5.0 mL of HCl into the flask using another graduated cylinder because acid goes into water when mixing them. 3) Add three drops of phenolphthalein indicator into the flask. 4) Swirl the flask in circular movements to mix the substances. 5) Put

Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface

Friction Page 1 Lab: Friction William Morris Leo Hayes High School Friction Page 2 Purpose: To investigate the coefficient of friction for a given surface and the effects that factors such as weight‚ surface area and changes to the surface have on the coefficient of friction. Hypothesis: The smaller the amount of normal force (weight)‚ the less friction created and the least surface area and the greaser the surface the less friction is created. With
