| Gram Negative Unknown | Biology 3444-006 | | Lena Wallace | 11/7/2011 | | Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to identify an unknown bacteria culture using differential tests. The identification of the unknown culture was accomplished by identifying the bacteria based on its specific metabolic characteristics and morphology. It is suggested that culture 11 is a sample of Enterobacter aerogenes. Introduction: This experiment was centered on metabolic and biochemical testing

moles of a solute by the volume of the solution in liters. Multiple series of solutions with different concentrations can be used by diluting the concentration. The dilution technique is: Number Moles Concentrated Solution = Number Moles Dilute Solution. An instrument called a spectrophotometer detects the amount of light that passes through the sample and the percent transmittance can be recorded from the meter. In the lab‚ multiple homogeneous solutions are made. There was not a way to determine

acetylsalicylic acid by esterification. Introduction: A pleasant‚ often fruity‚ odor is characteristic of some of the simpler esters. Ethyl butyrate smells similar to pineapples‚ the odor of n-propyl acetate is reminiscent of pears and isopentyl acetate has a strong banana fragrance. Esters are derivatives of the carboxylic acids and contain the following functional group: The synthesis of an ester can be accomplished in one of several ways. An esterification occurs when an alcohol and a carboxylic acid are

Spinach was dehydrated using ethanol‚ and the pigments were extracted with dichloromethane. The spinach extracts were dried using CaCl2. Then‚ the solid pigments were run through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane

Title : Preparation of a standard solution Aim To prepare a standard solution of potassium hydrogenphthalate which will later be used to standardize sodium hydroxide solution‚ NaOH. Research question How does different molarity of potassium hydrogen phthalate solution which is prepared by dilution process influence the volume of sodium hydroxide‚ NaOH used during titration process until the colourless phenolphthalein indicator solution turns pink where the volume of potassium hydrogenphthalate used

Abstract This lab is performed in order to determine the total energy in a reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The reaction is done twice‚ once to measure the heat of the reaction and again to determine the work done in the system. This is because Enthalpy equals heat plus work (∆H= ∆E+W). Heat and work can be broken down further into separate components so the equation used in lab is ∆H=mc∆T + PV. Many calculations are used in the lab to find out what cannot be measured directly (ex:

Name: Danielle Title: Unknown Lab Report Introduction: There are many reasons for identifying an unknown bacterium. The reasons range from medical purposes‚ such as determining if the unknown could cause ailments in living things or knowing what microorganisms are needed to make antibiotics. The experiment was done by applying methods in order to identify an unknown bacterium. An unknown bacterium was handed out by Dr. Honer. The appropriate tests were prepared and applied. The
