Carlie Haeffner Qualitative Analysis March 20‚ 2015 The purpose of this lab is to identify unknown ions in a solution by using a type of chemical reaction called precipitate reactions. The key to finding which ions are present in a solution is to form a precipitate which makes the ions “come out” in a reaction (McNeil‚ 2013-2014). Water is used in these experiments to act as a solvent. Since water is a polar molecule‚ the slightly positive and negative charges will sometimes pull apart molecules

Determining the Unknown Concentration of NaHCO3 (aq) Through Titration Introduction Titration is the accurate addition of a titrant- solution in a burette- into a measured volume of a sample (Kessel‚ 2003). There are many different types of titration‚ such as acid-base reaction‚ redox reactions‚ precipitation reaction and more (Dohrman). In this lab an acid base titration will be explored. In an acid-base titration‚ the concentration of an acid or base is unknown and is determined by the adding

Scheme of Analysis for Lab 2 Unknown Sample Description Phase‚ color‚ odor‚ crystalline or gel-like? If crystalline‚ what is crystal shape – needle-like or powdery? Does it look like a pure substance or a mixture? How many components appear to be present? Tests on original sample Flame Test Bushy yellow‚ orange flame – Na+ is present and possibly K+ and NH4+. Pink-purple flame – K+ is present and Na+ is not. (Possibly NH4+) No color or faint trace Na+ - NH4+ is possible‚ K+ and Na+ are

Sally Jessica Smithers: The Case Of The Unknown Assassin Sally Jessica Smithers was a slender‚ beautiful‚ smart‚ and talented cop. She was investigating eleven serial killings of important men when she got a call‚ there was another murder. When she went‚ she took no time at all at the scene. As Sally left the crime scene in the park‚ with one hand in her long dark brown hair‚ she called out to a few units to make three immediate traffic stops and went to the last one to read off people’s IDs.

Identification and Recreation of Unknown White Compound #643p November 13‚ 2012 INTRODUCTION: The identity of the unknown solid white compound is determined and verified through a series of tests which uncover physical and chemical properties necessary for identification. A new sample of the same compound is then created to further prove the accuracy of the identification. The compound must be identified in order to be used. For example‚ KCl is used in medicine‚ scientific applications‚ and

how living organisms look or work. They also control the manufacture of proteins in a cell. There are about 35 000 genes found in almost every healthy cell. Scientists are constantly conducting experiments on genes. Genetic modification is one of such experiments. Genetic modification refers to the deliberate alteration of the genetic structure or DNA of an organism in order to give it new abilities and produce a desired effect. Organisms that are modified with DNA from another organism are called

Animal Nutrition Rachel Barner 11/18/14 Pros and Cons of Genetically Modified Organisms Genetically modified food has quietly become second nature in the U.S.‚ and it may surprise you just how many foods you are eating that you never knew contained a genetically modified ingredient. The most common genetically modified foods are soybeans‚ maize‚ cotton‚ and rape seed oil. The term genetically modified food refers to crop plants that have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits

The Unknown Struggles of Homeless Children Tammy R. Mathews Liberty University Abstract This research assessed the struggles of homeless children. The study compared the educational struggles of a random sampling of children living in stable environments to children who are considered “homeless.” Homeless refers to any child or youth who lack a fixed‚ regular‚ and adequate nighttime residence. The study revealed the number of homeless

The majority of us are not experts in nutrition. For example‚ my expertise lies in the realm of the internet. I am a web developer/programmer. It is no secret that in order to enjoy life and perform well in my profession‚ I need to fuel my body. Unfortunately‚ when it comes to nutrition‚ I have skimped and assumed for way too long. I have attempted to eat healthy yet‚ I have also filled my body with plenty of "low grade" fuel. The result over time‚ I began to experience the physical consequences
