Pre-Laboratory Assignment 1. What are the hazards associated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution? Sodium hydroxide solutions‚ especially in high concentrations‚ are toxic and corrosive. 2. (a) What buret reading should you record when the liquid level is as shown in Figure 2? In Figure 2‚ the lower meniscus lies below the 3 mL line and 4 minor gradations that signify 0.1 values. Estimating the uncertain digit to be 0.04 mL‚ the reading we record for this particular buret is 3.44 mL.

An experiment to demonstrate the effect of temperature on fermentation by yeast The purpose of this laboratory is to observe how temperature affects the metabolism of Grape juice by visibly noting the volume changes of identical food mixes containing yeast at different temperatures. Background Information If yeast is added to a liquid containing sugar and other nutrients‚ kept at an appropriate temperature (and deprived of oxygen)‚ it will turn the sugars into ethanol (alcohol) and carbon

An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a tool used to evaluate the heart’s electrical activity which measures the current produced in the extracellular fluid. Action potentials that occur in the myocardial cells can be detected by electrodes or leads placed at key points on the skin’s surface (reference text book pg. 371) **add figure of a typical EKG trace** The ECG records 5 different waves that correspond with myocardial activity. The first wave is the P wave which occurs in response to atrial depolarization

Certain cells‚ like yeast cells produce ethyl alcohol through fermentation. Respiration in the presence of oxygen makes possible the complete oxidation of nutrient compounds into carbon dioxide and water. Using three glass pipets to hold the yeast mixture‚ we then sealed one end‚ and flipped the pipets upside down so to record the level of carbon dioxide that developed. In fact‚ ninety

Laboratory Exercise #2 Pre Lab This lab will teach me how to use a spectrophotometer. The use of the spectrophotometer is to measure the concentration of solute. The solute being measured must be colored and is determined based on the adsorption of light photons on a wavelength. The spectrophotometer uses a beam of light that strikes the diffraction grating that basically forms of prism of light. Then only a specific wavelength of light shines through the spectrophotometer and interacts with

Student: Keila Dukuze Date: Feb/10/2013 Lab# 3 Section: 110 Pre-Lab Report Determining the Density of Various Liquids and Solids The purpose of this experiment is to determine the weight (density) of certain liquids and solids in chemistry. These liquids include; Water‚ Hexane‚ Carbon Tetrachloride‚ and solids include; Copper‚ Zinc‚ Lead and‚ Aluminum. It’s important to know the weight of these products so you can properly conduct experiments and make clear observations. Different

Pre-lab questions: 1. Algae belong to what Kingdom? They belong to the Kingdom Protista. 2. What are the three types of multicellular algae? The three types if multicellular algae are chlorophyta which are green algae‚ phaeophyta which are brown algae‚ and rhodophyta which are red algae. 3. Are algae autotrophs or heterotrophs? Algae are autotrophs. 4. What organelle allows plants (and plantlike protists) to photosynthesize? The chloroplasts allow plants and plantlike protists to photosynthesize

Pre – Lab Questions 1. A decomposition reaction may be defined as any reaction in which one reactant‚ a compound‚ breaks down to give two or more products. Write the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of water to its elements. 2H2O(l) 2H2(g) + O2(g) 2. (a) Assign oxidation states to the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in each substance in the above chemical equation. The oxidation state of H2(g) and O2(g) is zero‚ because they are in their normal state. (b) Based

Main reaction sequence including side reaction products: 2. 3 Sentence Summary of the Experiment: The OH group on the benzene ring in salicyclic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. Thus the formation of acetylsalicyclic acid (aspirin) is referred to as an esterification reaction‚ which requires the presence of H+ (H2SO4 in our case). The technique used to purify the aspirin content
