The History of Paint Pigments Chem 111-404 April 24‚ 2013 Introduction: This report expresses five different pigments that were formed during chemical reactions. Three out of the total five reactions went through a metathesis‚ or double-replacment reaction. A metathesis reaction can be defined as “a chemical reaction in which an element or radical in one compound exchanges places with another element or radical in another compound.” (Webster). The other two pigments underwent a neutralization

of this lab was to separate plant pigments using chromatography‚ calculate Rf values using the collected data‚ and study photosynthesis with isolated chloroplasts. Light energy Light energy Background Information (Activity A): In photosynthesis‚ plant cells convert light energy into chemical energy that is stored in sugars and other organic compounds. It is an endergonic and anaerobic reaction. Critical to the process is chlorophyll‚ the primary photosynthetic pigment in chloroplasts. The chemical

A pigment is a natural coloring matter that usually comes from a plant or animal. Today‚ there are synthetic pigments with the advancement of technology‚ but during the Italian Renaissance they did not have these luxuries. They had to obtain their pigment naturally. There were different classifications of pigment‚ each producing a different desired color. The material that contained the desired pigment had to be grinded very finely‚ and then the pigment would need to be added to a base to create

REPORT NAME :princess cucumber TOPIC : 3.8 & 8.2 : PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS RESEARCH QUESTION INTRODUCTION The photosynthetic pigments are responsible for absorbing and trapping light energy the major pigments of photosynthesis are the chlorophylls. The two chlorophylls found in green plants are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. other pigments include carotenoids and phycobilins‚ sometimes referred to as accessory pigments. Carotenoids occur in all photosynthetic organisms‚ while phycobilins

Chromatography of Photosynthetic Pigments Abstract In this experiment a process of chromatography was used to separate chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and beta carotene. When these pigments were obtained they were used to measure the wavelengths by way of spectrophotometer of each and the total of all the pigments wavelength. Introduction Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use the sunlight to convert it from light energy into chemical energy. This equation shows us how

laboratory eight was to observe the affect of acid and alkaline cooking pH on pigments and textures of the vegetables(Yuan‚ 2014a) . Students were meant to gain experience on the different methods of processing fresh fruit and vegetables‚ both by observation and practise (Yuan‚ 2014a). The different methods were the effect of pH on pigment and texture of various vegetables‚ the effect that cooking procedures has on various pigments and flavours‚ the effect of sugar on texture and flavour of cooked fruit

use the process of chromatography to separate plant pigments. To compare the plant pigments found in spinach and red leaf lettuce leaves. Hypotheses: I believe the spinach leaf in the acetone will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. I believe the spinach leaf in distilled water will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. Discussion Questions: 1. Describe

INTRODUCTION Plant pigments consist of four main chemicals. These are Chlorophylls‚ The carotenoids‚ Anthocyanin and Betacaine. The aims of this experiment is to separate the plant pigment into different colours using solvents and column chromatography. The hypothesis of this experiment is that this plant pigment from spinach will contain the chlorophyll pigment or may contain the others too. Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll a is the main component of the plant pigments. This is used for the most
