This purpose of the lab was to observe and compare the reactivity of the elements within groups and the reactivity of the groups themselves. The elements of each group were reacted with fire‚ acid (HCl or HNO3)‚ or in deionized water. According to the observations‚ the most reactive group was the alkali metals. Since the alkali metals are in group 1‚ they only have one valence electron and can easily lose this electron. As you move towards the right of the periodic table‚ the number of electrons

cells due to the sudden increase in water pressure within the cell) in animal cells or turgor pressure (the pressure created by the increase in water pressure within the cell) in plant cells. Turgor pressure prevents further osmosis‚ which causes the water potential outside the cell to be lower than that inside the cell. When placed in a hypertonic environment‚ the gradient in animal and plant cells are reversed and water exits the cell. This sudden release of water results in a shrinking membrane‚

Typical soft drinks usually contain carbonated water‚ caffeine‚ sodium benzoate‚ flavoring agents‚ and sweeteners as well for the purpose for enhancing flavor‚ and in the case of benzoate‚ to function as a preservative. Caffeine is one of the major components that is found in several beverages like coffee‚ energy drinks‚ tea‚ and soft drinks; just to name a few. Caffeine is known to be a powerful drug‚ which many people become dependent on; when they wake up in the morning it is typical to have a

Introduction During the course of this lab‚ we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel‚ 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the

LAB ACTIVITY 1 MEASUREMENTS IN SCIENCE: MASS‚ VOLUME‚ AND DENSITY Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is find the density of two metals using their mass and volume. Introduction: The purpose of the experiment that was conducted was to measure and calculate the density of two different metals. Density is an important characteristic of a material. The density of an object shows how much mass is contained in the unit volume. To calculate the density of metals the experimenters had to find

Then a pinch of salt and 1 mL of water was added into each mortar and used the pestle to ground the tissue into a pulp like substance. After it transformed into pulp‚ 50 μl of the fluid extract was taken to be used for the experiments. Doing so‚ this evaluated the actions of each catalase in their cells. Catalase Foam Thickness 50 μl of each tissue extract was added to the cut up tissues‚ 1 mL of water was added to it and each placed into a separate test tube. After

Chromatography lab Purpose: To separate food colorings into their component dyes using paper chromatography. Materials: Chromatography paper‚ Food coloring‚ Ruler‚ Pencil‚ Solvent solution‚ Test tubes‚ Test tube rack. Safety precaution: wear aprons‚ to make sure that you don’t get any of the alcohol on your clothes‚ and if you break a test tube you don’t get glass on you. Procedure: See-attached handout. Results: See chromatography with Audrey’s lab report.

not exist (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). They help in many different ways that are useful to the body of living organisms. Enzyme are used to speed up chemical reactions (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). Through this process‚ they are considered very unique because they are not altered or consumed within the reaction (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). This is why enzymes are considered biological catalysts. They also do not alter the equilibrium of a chemical reaction nor the amount of free energy that is released (Lab Manual 3 pg

dioxide and water are used to make carbohydrates by using light energy in green plants. The objective of this experiment is to measure the rate of photosynthesis Hypothesis: The petri dish that is exposed to the most light and with the NaHCO3 solution will have the best results and the petri dish that is kept in the dark will have the poorest results. Material and Methods: 1. Get 4 deep petri dishes and label them 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ and 4. Fill dish 1 about 2/3 full with distilled water. Fill the other

Lalin Candium Lab Report Chemistry Block H Mr. Neil Chipman Calculating the Atomic Mass for Different Candium Isotopes Objective: In this experiment I will be discovering the atomic weight of Candium isotopes. By doing this experiment‚ it helps us to know how to calculate the relative abundance and atomic mass of each Candium isotopes without having to use the spectrometer. This lab will achieve my understanding of isotopes and why it has different masses but same number of protons due
