disease to knowing the correct microorganism in order to make antibiotics. This study was done by applying the following methods; OF Glucose‚ Indole Production‚ and Malonate Utilization test for the identification of an unknown bacterium. The methods will assist in determining the unknown bacterium found in a 55 year old male that was passing blood and mucous in his stool. The patient had no pain but mild discomfort during bowel movements. The doctor noted inflammation of the lining of the rectum. The

Melting-Point Measurement Organic Chemistry Lab Introduction: Panacetin purportedly includes sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen. However‚ the accuracy of Panacetin’s contents has been called into question by the Association for Safe Pharmaceuticals. Therefore‚ the lab must discover the accuracy of the ingredients listed on Panacetin’s label. The unknown in this experiment is presumed to be something similar to acetaminophen‚ such as acetanilide

Submitted: June 6‚ 2012 Name: 2968 Instructor: Reid A hydrate was given to our group and the identity of the hydrate was unknown. The lab workers were told to determine the identity of the unknown hydrate. The identity of the hydrate could be determined by calculating the hydrate’s percent of water. So the lab workers set out to determine the water percent of the unknown hydrate. The percent of any compound or element can be found by using a certain formula. This formula is: % of element = Mass

Briefly describe the steps required to aseptically transfer bacteria from an unknown to a tube of liquid broth. Answer: To aseptically transfer bacteria from an unknown to a tube of liquid broth you have to flame the loop or wire before you begin to sterilize it. Then you remove the caps from the tubes and flame the mouths of the tubes to prevent air-borne contamination. Next‚ you have to pick up the inoculums or unknown culture by running the sterile loop or wire down into the tube. Once you get

Lab‚ Week # 1 BALANCE LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab is to learn how to utilize two different balances to find the mass of different chemicals in the ChemLab program. A balance is an instrument used to determine the mass of a chemical. To accomplish this we use direct weighing and weighing by difference on both the centigram and electronic balances. Equipment 1 Centigram Balances 1 Electronic Balance 1 100ml Beakers 5 Copper Slugs 2 Unknown Weights (Label # 1‚ # 2)

Organ Harvesting Research Paper We have all heard about the stories and have seen the movies in which the protagonist wakes up in a tub covered in tons of ice and stitches in his side only to realize that he was a victim of organ theft. There have been many movies surrounding this horrid topic‚ and many people believe this concept is fictitious; however these movies have partial truth to them. There are many cases across the globe in which people have been given faulty organs‚ and cases in which

Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates. A reaction rate is the speed of the change in either reactants or products over a period of time. General kinetic rate equation is: Where [A] and [B] are the concentration of the species in the reaction. The variable k is the rate constant‚ which is a function of time and catalyst presence. The variables m and n are the order of reaction for their respective species concentration. The higher the value of the reaction order the

In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With
