A. Goal and Purpose: Session 1: In this lab‚ we will achieve a simple Friedel-Crafts alkylation of anthracene. The choice of anthracene as an aromatic substrate stems from two considerations. First‚ there is a question of regioselectivity. Second‚ anthracene and its derivatives are highly visible under UV light. Session 2: In this lab‚ we will complete a partial conversion of 9-acetylanthracene using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA). We will also determine by NMR‚ the regiochemistry of the

one of the tests‚ so that data is lost. Specific errors include measuring the entire test tube from top to bottom instead of measuring the exact distance traveled by the filter paper‚ making the test results not plausible. The results of this lab proved several things. The results of the first test show that a higher enzyme concentration causes a faster rate of the substrate being broken down. This means that the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity is a positive effect and speeds

Sedimentator Lab Introduction: in this lab we will be working with a sedimentator to observe and classify sediments. A sediment is naturally-occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion‚ and is subsequently transported by the action of fluids such as wind‚ water‚ or ice. Side One Purpose: to observe and classify sediments Part I 1. Gently shake the sedimentator to loosen the sediments and lay the sedimentator on its side 2. Observe the water

In this lab‚ we extracted spinach pigments‚ and analyzed what colors of light these pigments absorb. By using TLC plate‚ hexane and acetone‚ I separated the pigments of spinach‚ and discovered that the main pigments were green and yellow. This works because with different polarities‚ pigments move at different rates. Hexane and acetone were also used to separate chlorophyll and carotene from spinach. Since they are polar‚ they can separate organic and inorganic things. From the experiment‚ I know

Wanni Lin Biology 110 March 2‚ 2015 DNA Lab BACKGROUND In this laboratory experiment‚ students were introduced to DNA electrophoresis. DNA electrophoresis is an instrument that many forensic scientists use to get a DNA fingerprint as an evidence for crimes. Not only can it be used for forensic science‚ people can use this for paternity test‚ as well as look for evolutionary relationships among organisms. Agarose is used to make the gel that the DNA fragments are going into. Since DNA particles are

For the preparation of the filtrate solution at the beginning of the class our Instructor‚ Marshall Douglas added about four to five strawberries in the blender along with 100 ml of detergent/ enzyme/ salt solution. They were blended until thoroughly homogenized if foaming occurred more detergent solution was added to prevent it. Then the blended solution was poured into a beaker and left to incubate at 60C for 15 minutes. Also‚ the mixture solution was cooled on ice for 5 minutes and filter through

Abstract This report contains the background information on gram positive and gram negative bacteria‚ which will aid in understanding the use of specific laboratory experiments to distinguish between the two types of bacteria. Included are the materials and methods used to identify the gram positive and gram negative bacteria and methods which also differentiate between microbes of each group. The implications of the methods of identification used are also described in this report to give an explanation

Microscope lab report Introduction Microscope is a tool used to enlarge images of small objects that are hard to study with bare eyes. The compound light microscope‚ which is going to be used in this lab activity‚ is an instrument with two lenses and various knobs to focus the image. In this lab‚ we will learn about the proper use and handling of the microscope. Objectives: •Demonstrate the appropriate procedures used while using the compound light microscope correctly. •Make and use a wet mount
