The lab in which we conducted last Tuesday was an analysis of a hydrate and what happens to it when it is heated. A hydrate is a crystalline compound which water molecules are chemically bound to it. In the lab‚ we were to analyze the difference in grams of the hydrate and the anhydrate. An anhydrate is the crystalline compound without the water molecules bound to it. During our lab‚ we were to heat up the crucible‚ the crucible with hydrate‚ and the crucible with an anhydrous and write down each

esterification reaction that was carried out in this lab is shown in figure 1. It worth mentioning that the by-product of such reaction is water. In organic chemistry‚ the reaction in which water molecule is released is known as condensation reaction (Hornback‚ 2006). Figure1 is drawn using Chem Sketch software. a) b) Figure 1: Typical Fischer esterification reaction (a) in comparison to the specific esterification reaction used in this lab (b) The reaction can also be categorized in terms of

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the bacteria of my initial unknown project. Determining which bacteria I had was completed by many steps. The one fact that I had‚ was that it was a gram negative bacteria because on the gram stain it appeared pink. Its cell wall is composed of a plasma membrane‚ periplasmic space‚ peptidoglycan and an outer membrane (lipopolysaccharide and protein). By looking at the agar plate it was easy to tell that it was not a swarmer and it did not have any

breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually iodine has a orange-yellow color‚ but iodine and starch react to produce a dark blueblack color‚ so iodine may be used as an indicator to show the rate at which starch is broken down.1 This occurs when polyiodide chains are formed from starch and iodine. However‚ as

Collision Lab Simulation Purpose: To study elastic and inelastic collisions in one-dimension. Background Information: Momentum: is a measure of mass in motion. It is the product of mass x velocity. Conservation of Momentum: in the absence of external forces‚ such as friction‚ the linear momentum of a system remains constant. Procedure: 1. Open web browser and go to the site: http://phet.colorado.edu 2. Click “play with sims”‚ then “physics”‚ and then “motion” 3. Find the “Collision Lab” 4

Biochemistry is the chemistry of biological systems. The practical component of biochemistry is aimed at developing your interest in and understanding modern biochemical and molecular biological experimentation. The techniques learnt in the biochemistry lab will be applicable to all life sciences. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE BIOCHEMISTRY LABORATORY INCLUDE: (1) Learning the theory behind the techniques and biochemical pathways (2) Learning the physical skills and techniques of modern experimental biochemistry
