The Concentration of CO2 in the Atmosphere Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless‚ odorless‚ non-flammable gas that can be produced by cellular respiration and burning of fossil fuels. Many types of industries such as breweries‚ mining ore and the manufacturing of carbonated drinks‚ drugs‚ disinfectants‚ pottery‚ and baking powder; utilize the CO2 gas (Appendix C). Recently Scientist proposed a theory in which CO2 concentration levels above 450ppm will lead to dramatic and potentially

I am going to investigate osmosis when potato is placed in different concentrations of sucrose. I am aiming to witness osmosis in 5 different concentrations of sucrose. I will use 5 varying concentrations so that I have a wider spread to compare the results‚ and check that I don’t have any anomalies Prediction Osmosis is the process of diffusion of water molecules from a weaker solution into a stronger solution‚ through a semi permeable membrane. The tiny pores in the membrane

Reminder: These notes are meant to supplement‚ not replace the laboratory manual. SN1 Reaction Notes Background and Application Substitution Nucleophilic First Order (SN1) reactions are one of the most common type of organic reactions. SN1 reactions can be used to make a wide variety of new compounds. In this experiment‚ t-amyl alcohol will be converted by a SN1 mechanism to 2-chloro-2-methylbutane. Safety Precautions Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid is 12M. It will cause visible destruction

Title Experiment 17 Reaction Kinetics- Determination of the Activation Energy of the Reaction Between Oxalic Acid and Potassium Permanganate. Objective To determine the activation energy of the reaction between oxalic acid and potassium permanganate. Theory and Background Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical transformation or physical transport. In terms of the transition-state

Determination of rate of photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is the major process by which light from the sun is captured by plants‚ algae and some bacteria to produce energy. It is a process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy which is then stored in sugars. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages‚ light-dependant reactions and light-independent reactions. In light-dependent reactions the chlorophyll traps light energy which is then used to excite electrons and split water

and the reproductive cycle with flowering and pollination is completed under water. Seagrasses have a number of adaptations to the submerged life form (Borum et al‚ 2004). Thalassia hemprichii is common on mud-coral-sand or coarse coral-sand substrates‚ in sheltered habitats in the Philippines. The plant has been observed growing from the base and through fingers of corals at 6 m deep. T. hemprichii may be found mixed with Syringodium isoetifolium‚ Cymodocea serrulata‚ C. rotundata‚ Enhalus acoroides

Experiment 2: Estimation of protein concentration Introduction Protein assays are designed to measure the total protein in a solution. Protein assays are quantitative if the protein to be assayed is available in sufficient quantity such that one is able to use it to create a standard curve. If this cannot be achieved‚ then a standard protein‚ such as albumin‚ may be used for a standard curve with the understanding that the results on the unknown protein are semi-quantitative. Since most proteins

Everything Happens for a Reason Leslie Torres English 121 Ms. Rankin November 7‚ 2012 Have you ever heard of “things happen for a reason”? Well I am a firm believer of this quote. I feel like if I didn’t make the choices I did in the past I wouldn’t be here where I am today. Back when I was in high school I made some unwise decisions that caused me to get kicked out of school and be on home studies. Everyone who I thought were my friends never cared to give me a call a text or even send me

ribosomes in a cell. They act as catalysts during biological reactions; therefore‚ enzymes are able to speed up these reactions without undergoing a permanent change themselves. These proteins are able to do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To add on‚ enzymes require specific conditions under which they can work best. Reactions occur at faster rates when the temperature is higher. However‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is reduced or can be stopped if the temperature becomes
