1310 Instructor: Dr. Gao Laboratory Assistant: Lauren February 7‚ 2015 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the molar mass of an unknown solid. The freezing point of a solvent (Cyclohexane) was determined‚ and compare to the freezing point of Cyclohexane with the addition of two different concentration of unknown solid. The pure substance of Cyclohexane has defined physical properties. However‚ when a solute is added these properties are determined by the amount of solute

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

Catalase Lab Purpose: To observe the effects of hydrogen peroxide on living tissue and non-living materials‚ showing the presence or absence of catalase as observed by the presences of bubbles. Hypothesis: If we pour H2O2 on certain substances‚ the catalase will break down and bubbles will appear at the surface. Data table: Name | Time | Observation | Raw Potato | 1 min. 30 sec. | Slow reaction‚ barley any bubbles. | Raw Liver | 5 min. 30 sec. | Extremely fast reaction‚ very foamy‚ Big

Human ECG Abstract The purpose of these lab exercises is to understand the function and importance of an electrocardiogram. This lab will demonstrate how stress levels or different elevations can affect human heart rate. Furthermore‚ the equipment used in the experiment will show the functions in the right and left arm; as well as‚ in the right and left ankles. Finally‚ the lab will serve a purpose as a way to know how to read an electrocardiogram and calculate the heart rate. Introduction

in the compound are excluded from the crystal lattice. After obtaining the pure compound‚ a melting point determination procedure can be done using a mel-temp device to correctly identify the compound if its identity is unknown. In this experiment‚ the identity of a given unknown organic solid will be discovered using the methods of recrystallization and melting point determination. Safety Information • Be sure to add a boiling chip to any liquid before heating it. • Always wear department approved

Spinach was dehydrated using ethanol‚ and the pigments were extracted with dichloromethane. The spinach extracts were dried using CaCl2. Then‚ the solid pigments were run through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane

Goal(s): To study the effect of concentration on the rate of a reaction‚ and to find the order of the reaction in each reactant and write a rate equation. Background Theory: Chemical reactions occur at different rates that ultimately depend on their concentration‚ the temperature‚ the usage of catalysts‚ the nature of reactants‚ like the surface area of the particles. Concentration‚ for instance‚ increases the number of molecules or particles in a certain volume‚ so collisions will become more

oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ helium‚ and lab gas. We took a Ziplock bag‚ and turned into a non-stretchy balloon‚ and filled with each gas and measured the apparent mass then calculated the actual mass‚ then find a ratio between the mass of oxygen and the other gasses. We tried to keep the pressure about the same each time so our calculations would be more accurate. We found out that the heaviest was carbon dioxide‚ and the lightest was helium. In fact‚ helium and lab gas had a density below 0. Anyways

Celestial Geography I Emily Richarz PH090-04 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to introduce us to star charts and how to use them to find stars‚ constellations and other bodies in the sky. Procedure: The instructor gave a brief but thorough lecture and demonstration on how to go about finding the answers on the worksheet. We then filled out the worksheet that cover finding stars and constellations using right ascension and declination in general and on specific dates‚ where constellations
