Data Analysis: 1. What was the temperature change for the water in the calorimeter (ΔTwater)? 3°C 2. What was the temperature change for the metal sample (ΔTmetal)? Assume the intial temperature of the metal was the same as the temperature of the water it was boiled in. 70°C 3. What was the specific heat of water in J/g°C? 4.186 J/g°C 4. Using the following equation‚ your answers to questions 1-3‚ and your data table‚ determine the specific heat of the metal sample you tested. 5

Michele Baden Bio 100 – 05 ALLELOPATHY INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to observe the effects of chemical warfare among plants. Plant seeds compete with other plants and seeds‚ for sunlight‚ and nutrients in order to germinate. In order to win dominance over other seeds‚ and reduce competition‚ plants produce and release a chemical in order to prevent other seeds from germination. This type of chemical warfare is referred to as allelopathy. Allelopathy exists in many parts of the plants

animal though? In this experiment we are using lab mice‚ Mus musculus‚ to see if the introduction of a predator scent (fox urine) increases‚ decreases‚ or has no effect on the metabolic rate within them. We will calculate the mass specific metabolic rate and use a t-test to determine if there is a significant change in metabolic rate when the mouse is exposed to the predator urine and when it is not exposed. With these mice being born and raised in a lab‚ the fox urine should have no effect on the metabolic

Enzyme lab report. Introduction. An enzyme is a protein molecule that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions by many folds. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change thus can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy also known as an energy barrier is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. Catecholase catalyzes the reaction rate of catechol oxidation. Catechol is found beneath the skin of many plants such

(50%). Although this information is reported‚ the true composition of Panacetin is questionable. While sucrose and aspirin are present in Panacetin‚ Tylenol may be replaced by an unknown component (acetanilide or phenacetin). Separation of the components of a sample of Panacetin may prove valuable in identification of the unknown component‚ as well as the true percent composition of each component of Panacetin. This experiment involves two parts‚ covering a few required techniques to be learned

Behavior of Gases and Absolute Zero Determination Lab Report Experiment 4 Introduction In this experiment we measured the relationship between temperature‚ volume‚ and pressure. Objectives: Conduct a set of experiments‚ each of which illustrates a gas law. Gather data to identify the gas law described by each activity. Complete the calculations necessary to evaluate the gas law in each activity. From your results‚ derive a single mathematical relationship that relates pressure‚ volume‚ and

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
