Aseel Muqbel 15/2/2015 11th D Flame Test Intro: The flame test is a procedure used by chemists to identify the presence of specified metal ions‚ based on the color the flame that appears along with it when it ’s heated. Our flame test was in lab class‚ where the main aim was to tested different solid metals in the flame in order to observe the wide variety of colors those chemicals also sometimes compounds (by mixing them) they produced‚ the second one was to identify unknown metals based

Citrate Test: Some bacteria can use citrate as a source of carbon. To test if the unknown bacteria uses citrate as a source of carbon‚ Simmon’s citrate agar was used as the medium on which the bacteria was grown. The Simmon’s citrate agar consists of sodium citrate as the source of carbon‚ ammonium dihydrogen phosphate as the source of nitrogen along with pH indicator such as bromothymol blue. Procedure: The Citratase activity was detected by inoculating the unknown bacteria on the slant surface

Exercise #3 Measuring Protein in Solution Abstract The purpose of this lab was to learn about the Biuret assay reaction to determine if it can detect proteins and amino acids; also‚ to understand the process of “salting out” proteins and how to determine the amount of protein in a solution. In order to do so‚ egg white and ammonium sulfate were mixed on ice and then put into the centrifuge. After PBS was added‚ the amount of protein could then be determined. After that‚ 14 test tubes were used to

Flame Test Lab Morgan Chemistry CP 5/30/14 Abstract- In the flame test lab‚ the flame test was performed to excite the electrons in the samples and observe the color of the flame. The flame emits a color because each element has an exactly defined emission spectrum‚ which one can use to identify them. For example‚ NaCl was highlighter yellow‚ Sr(NO3)2 was sun orange‚ CuCl2 was turquoise‚ LiCl was neon red‚ KCl was solar flare yellow‚ and BaCl2 was Voldemort green. Introduction- In Bohr’s

Background In the Flame test lab we took a simple wire‚ looped it‚ and rinsed it in HCL (Hydrochloric Acid ). Then we dipped the wire in the different samples provided. The samples provided were Sodium‚Potassium‚Calcium‚ Barium‚ Strontium‚ Lithium ‚ and Copper II. Finally we put the wire loop into the flame of the bunsen burner. The flame erupted into many different colors for each specific sample. We then used the colors we recorded to find the two unknown samples given to us. But the question

amounts of glucose‚ amino acids‚ urea‚ and salts in urine. To test this we used different chemicals that would react with one of the four items above showing either a high concentration or low concentration within the urine. By using a solution called silver nitrate we could test whether or not salt was present in the urine. If the urine turned a cloudy white after adding the silver nitrate the urine had a high concentration of salt. To test for amino acid we used a chemical called biuret solution. If

This lab tests the process of germination with various pH levels. The pH level of something is its measure of acidity or how basic it is‚ solutions with a pH of less than 7 are said to be acidic‚ and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are said to be basic. The tap water that was used to water our beans had a pH of 6. In this lab‚ we studied the process of germination (the process by which a plant grows from a seed). Certain environmental factors can cause or stop a seed’s germination‚ and these factors

Testable Question: What will happen to different halide salts found in the body if various compounds are added to the halide? How will the halides react? Introduction: For this lab we tested 6 halide salts found in the body‚ and their reactivity when a compound is added. We tested the halides NaF‚ NaCl‚ KBr‚ KI‚ and two unknown halides. To find the reaction of the halide‚ we are adding drops of Ca(NO3)2‚ AgNO3‚ AgNO3 + Na2S2O3‚ and NaOCI + Starch to the halides. Each halide will be separated from

A flame test is conducted when an element is burned and the flame produces a color different the starting flame color. When the coffee stirrer was put into the flame‚ the element’s atoms (from the solution of the stirrer) left the original level of energy. When the atoms fell back to ground level‚ they released photons in the form of colored flame. Using the flame test‚ unknown compounds can be identified when they are burned since each element has a specific color. (Douma‚ 2008). The color
