Lab Report #1 Title: Synthesis of Divanillin Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize divanillin. This was done via the oxidative dimerization of two equivalents of vanillin‚ using enzyme horseradish peroxidase as the catalyst. Procedure: Lab Handout: Nishimura‚ R.T.; Giammanco‚ C.H.; Vosburg‚ D.A. J. Chem Educ. 2010‚ 87‚ 526-527. Discussion: Mechanism: Reaction 2 Vanillin H2O2 Divanillin 2 H2O

Bita Heydari Lab report 3 The Effects of Differentiation on Enzymatic Activity Introduction HL-60 cells are capable of undergoing differentiation to induce different cell types. HL-60 cells can undergo morphological changes‚ changes in gene expression‚ and changes in protein synthesis. In the past weeks‚ we were able to conclude that HL-60 cells treated with DMSO and HL-60 cells treated with PMA will differentiate into granulocytes and monocytes upon treatment (1). We were also able to observe

Conclusion: Category 1: Momentum was found that after the collision was less than before the collision by 10%. This was not what has been expected‚ so the difference was fairly significant. This happened because of friction‚ when the two pucks collided‚ they have lost a bit of their momentum‚ so the momentum after the collision differed. Kinetic energy differed more than what was expected‚ it was significantly less after the collision‚ the difference before and after the collision was 63.7%‚

In our hypothesis we predicted that the enzymes in the pineapple will denature when the temperature is changed. The prediction was partly correct. Pineapples have special enzymes that denature gelatin molecules. Which is the reason why the pineapple and gelatin test tube remained filled with liquid‚ instead of turning into jelly which gelatin does when it’s molecules are not disturbed. Why our hypothesis was partly incorrect was lacked depth in that when changing the temperature by heating the pineapple

OF ASPIRIN Aspirin in general is a safe drug but the ability to prevent blood clots is connected to some side effects. Aspirin can cause firstly stomach irritation. That’s means aspirin can irritate your stomach which has as a result pain‚ nausea‚ vomiting or hearburn. Sometimes can have other symptoms like bleeding‚ holes in stomach or intestines. In order to minimize these problems it should be better to have a full stomach. Also another problem that comes from aspirin can

Purpose Acetophenetidin can be formed through two methods‚ Williamson ether synthesis and amide synthesis. By working in groups of two we were able to complete both methods of synthesis routes. The end result should be the synthesis of a similar product‚ by verification between the two individuals. Reaction Experiment and Observations Amide Synthesis of Acetophenetidin The Synthesis reaction began by removing the colored impurities from the p-phenetidine‚ accomplished by mixing

For this lab‚ 40.2 mL of canola oil were used as the initial volume for the production of synthesized biodiesel. Through the synthesis process‚ 31.307 grams of canola biodiesel was produced‚ which is a percentage yield of 85.714%. In order to get this percentage yield‚ the following calculations were made: 40.2 mL canola oil × 0.9073 g1 mL=36.5 g × 1 mol376.6 g=0.0416 moles canola oil From the prelab‚ for every 1 mole of oil‚ 3 moles of biodiesel are produced. 0.0416 mol oil × 3 mol biodiesel1

Soluble aspirin tablets Adult dosage: To treat pain or fever in adults‚ the recommended dose is 325 mg to 650 mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. The maximum daily dose is 4‚000 mg‚ unless otherwise directed by your doctor. For adults with conditions caused by inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis‚the usual dose is 975 mg 4 to 6 times daily on a regular basis. Sometimes‚ higher doses may be used. To treat migraine headache pain‚ the recommended adult dose is 1‚000 mg at the onset of pain or
