of the pollutants in the air. Because they are such unique organisms‚ they accumulate different metal anions in the air than other organisms‚ like plants do‚ for example. Lichens attract toxic metal ions. An ion is a charged atom. If the ion has a positive charge‚ it is a cation. An ion with a negative charge is an anion. During the ion exchange process‚ Hydrogen‚ an anion‚ is released and metal cations move in. This process occurs when lichens are exposed to polluted air. When the lichens are dropped

volumetric flask it contained 8 mg/L benzoic acid + 10 mL HCl‚ then diluted to the mark on the flask with DI water. Standards of caffeine were also prepared that contained 4‚8‚12‚16 and 20 mg/L in 0.10M HCl. All other standards were prepared by other lab groups. These standards were used to obtained a series of calibration curves. We then prepared the monster energy drink‚ by warming 20 mL of the monster energy drink on a hot plate in order to expel CO2 and filtered the warm liquid through filter paper

Alka-Seltzer Rocket Formal Lab Report Abstract In the Alka-Seltzer Rocket lab one was to experimentally determine how much (grams) Alka-Seltzer and water in mL‚ is needed to launch the rocket the highest/longest distance in cm. Also to experimentally determine the % NaHCO3 in the tablet using the information from the highest/longest distance. Calculate the error and % error of NaHCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer tablet and to determine the limiting reagent for the highest/longest distance traveled. Alka-Seltzer

Unknown reports in microbiology are written in scientific format. Scientific writing is written differently from other types of writing. The results of the exercise or experiment are what are being showcased‚ not the writing. The purpose of scientific writing is not to entertain‚ but to inform. The writing should be simple and easy to understand. There is a specific style that must be followed when writing scientific reports. Scientific writing is typically written in the passive voice. The

Clement Organic Chemistry 2423‚ Section 304 25 October 2017 Lab 6: Natural Products I The main goal of this experiment was to employ isolation techniques to derive chemicals from two different natural sources and study their properties (Clement 91). The two natural sources used in this experiment were an orange (the peel contains limonene‚ which is a terpene) and a dichloromethane solution of clove oil (which contains eugenol‚ an acetogenin). To isolate the eugenol

Microorganisms can be prokaryotic—the bacteria or eukaryotic—the algae‚ protozoa or fungi. While viruses are acellular they are also studied in the scope of microbiology because they are small and because they infect cells. While most bacterial are unicellular they can also exist in colonial or multicellular forms. In this laboratory exercise you will examine the ubiquity and diversity of various microbes that are present in the environment or inhabit the human body. Most bacteria that inhabit the body are

Mutated strains of E. coli were placed in four test tubes‚ each containing a different substance (lactose‚ glucose‚ water and lactose and glucose)

Concentration on Absorbance Background Information The purpose of the “Determining Solution ‘Concentration’ Using A Spectrophotometer” lab was to use a spectrophotometer to find the relationship of concentration and absorbance obeying the Beer-Lambert law‚ which states concentration and absorbance are directly related‚ to then further determine the concentration of three unknown solutions. With the assumption that the solutions obey the Beer-Lambert law it is predicted that as concentration increases‚ absorbance
