IB Chemistry Experiment 4 Composition of a Post-1983 Penny Lab Report Background: Through the use of percent composition one can easily find out how much of a certain element is in a compound or an item such as a post-1983 penny. The experiment will be using HCl a strong acid to dissolve all the zinc inside the outer copper shell. The reaction follows as such; Zn+2HCLZnCl2+H2‚ but there will be no reaction with copper. The portion that will be measured is the mass of copper left after all of

during the lab session Procedure Part A This lab was performed by the group members as they closed both low and high flow rotameters (Fig-2) and filled the tank with water. Then‚ the large rotameter was opened when the water in the tank had reached the internal baffle‚ so the flow from the tank was reduced by doing so. One member was in charge of adjusting the level of the water so it was always maintained over the baffle’s level during the lab (Fig-1). The first part of the lab was done

Lab Report Diffusion is - One of two kinds of passive transport‚ - Diffusion can transport ions from higher concentration to lower concentration region without any other forces. - A net movement of molecules in and out of cell membrane - Diffusion can be affected by the steepness of the concentration gradient. Lab question: Is the rate of diffusion influenced by the presence of second molecule? Prediction: the rate of diffusion is influenced by the presence of second molecule

December 8‚ 2013 Soil Analysis Lab Report Intro: Soil is produced over hundreds of years through the weathering of rocks and the decomposition of organic material. Soil contains nutrients that are taken from decomposed animals and plants which turn to detritus. Nutrients such as nitrogen are added to the soil in these ways by organisms such as nitrogen fixing bacteria. Soil is important because it is the fuel to the plants that we need in order to survive and for all species to survive. Soil

Introduction The aims of the lab session was to familiarize with the principles‚ operation and application of a light spectrophotometer. This report discusses an experiment to study the relationship of absorbance and concentration‚ the interaction of electromagnetic radiant energy(ERE) and matter which is an important aspect of the Beer-Lambert ’s Law. This law states that the absorption of a compound is directly proportional to the concentration of that particular compound. This is because (a &

Anxiety Lab Report Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between cognitive anxiety‚ somatic anxiety and self confidence in two different situations; non-stressful and stressful. It is to examine the effects on anxiety of a simple golf putting task. The stressor used in this experiment can be described as situational‚ namely the stressor of social comparison‚ the type of stressor that leads many performers to question their own ability which in turn evokes symptoms

Lab Report Marisa McKinney P. 2 Purpose: To investigate the periodic variation of density in Group 4A elements. Background: When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number‚ they exhibit periodic recurrence of properties. Elements in the same group in the periodic table tend to have similar physical and chemical properties. These similarities are due‚ in large part‚ to similarities among the electron configurations of the elements in a group. You can find periodic

Enzymes are naturally occurring biological catalysts that are extremely efficient and specific. Enzymes accelerate the rate of a reaction by factors of at least a million as compared to the same reaction without the enzyme. Most biological reaction rates are not perceivable in the absence of the enzyme. The term enzyme was first used by a German pshysiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1897. There are over 700 different kinds of enzymes that have been identified. Enzymes can be classified into several categories

Lab Report: Understanding Photosynthesis Gen Biology Lab Abstract: This lab was called photosynthesis: understanding photosynthesis. It is a highly complex process that needs to be broken down in many steps to understand how it works. This lab covers the big components in photosynthesis including carbon dioxide intake‚ light consumption‚ and varying pigmentation. Introduction: Photosynthesis is a huge concept to learn and understand in the field of biology. Plants have their own special
