Ammonium Persulfate Vs TEMED
Many reagents were used in this experiment. For the stacking gel and resolving gel, the APS and TEMED were added at the end because they polymerize the gel immediately. Ammonium Persulfate (APS) is an oxidizing substance that is used along TEMED to catalyze the polymerization of acrylamide. It instructs polymerization. TEMED hurries the formation rate of the free radicals from persulfate and these in turn catalyze polymerization. The persulfate free radicals switch acrylamide monomers to free radicals, which react with incapacitated monomers to arise the polymerization chain reaction. Both APS and TEMED are used to make the reaction faster.

    Also added was 0.45mL water and 0.165mL acetic anhydride and a magnetic spin vane. An air condenser was attached to the vial and it was heated on an aluminum block, with a temperature maintained at 120C. After the solution dissolved, it was heated an extra 20 minutes to allow the reaction to go to completion then cooled back to room temperature. An ice bath was used to encourage crystal growth. The crystals were removed and centrifuged, then placed on a pre-weighed watch glass to dry and weigh. Percent recovery was found. A small sample was set aside for melting…

    Anti-Cow Serum Lab Report

    The stacking gel was used to make sure all the proteins start separating at about the same time. It has a larger pore size so that the larger protein can move in easily. The SDS and heating was used to denature the proteins, the proteins then loaded into the lane. When apply the electrical field, the proteins will move toward the bottom, which is the positive anode. Also, the Tris-glycine will enter the stacking gel. The pH of stacking gel is 6.8, it makes the proteins less negative because the amino acids are protonated at equilibrium. Because the glycine moves slower than chloride ion, a Gly-chloride ion boundary is formed. But, glycine still runs little bit faster than other proteins. Therefore, the proteins are trapped between chloride ion and glycine. A very tight band is formed inside the stacking gel by the…

    Friedel Crafts Acylation Of Ferrocene Column Chromatography

    The intention of this lab is to analyze the formation of acetylferrocene using column chromatography. The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction created acetylferrocene and diacetylferrocene, using phosphoric acid as a catalyst for the reaction between acetic anhydride and ferrocene (once applying heat). During column chromatography, a solution is passed through a filtration system of silica, sand, and cotton. This creates colored or colorless bands, dependent on the type of chemical compound, and is comparable to a reverse TLC test. The differences in polarity pull down the compounds at different rates, allowing for the separation.…

    the polyaddition reaction, which is a special case of polycondensation, with the difference that the reaction product is exclusively the polymer. In the classical polycondensation reactions, the products are: the polycondensation polymer and a low molecular weight (MW) compound (water, alcohols, and so on). The fact that in the polyaddition reactions the product is only the polymer is of great technological importance, especially for the purity and the morphology of the resulting macromolecular…

    While the dye was drying to the paper, the salt water mixture was put in a petri dish about 0.5cm high. The chromatography paper was then stapled to form a cylinder. The paper was placed next to the petri dish to make sure that the water level was below the line that was drawn. The paper was then placed in the petri dish making sure not to touch the sides. It was allowed to sit in the salt water for a few minutes until the solvent stopped traveling up the paper. It was then removed to dry and the second paper was placed in the eluting solvent and…

    Nail Polish Research Paper

    Oligomers create the structure and the backbone of the gel system. The other main ingredient is photoinitiator. The photoinitiator jump starts the polymerization process and helps the gel adhere to the natural nail. In order to start the polymerization process, the Gel needs to be put under the UV light, and the process is called curing unless it will never dry. The UV light lands on the light spectrum at about 400 wavelengthand in between X-ray and infrared. The ultra violet light gives energy to the photoinitiator, which is sensitive to light, and it starts to decompose into free radicals. Even though it varies upon the UV light lamp, gel polishes can be cured in about 1 minute through these…

    Calorimetric Analysis Of Macromolecules Lab Report

    The flow time for the pure water will be used to determine the apparatus constant B, (which is found by setting equal the viscosity of water over its density to this value, multiplied by the amount of time it takes for the upper meniscus to fall from the upper to lower fiducial mark in the measurement). For each sample, the viscosity and concentration per grams of polymer per 100 mL solution will be calculated, so that ηsp/c and (1/c)(ln η/η0) may be plotted against the c and extrapolated linearly to c=0 to find the [η] for the original and degraded polymer. The M ̅v and M ̅n will be calculated for both the original and degraded polymer, with which we can use to find a value for ∆. With this, we may identify the relationship between the ∆ and the rate constants kα and…

    Once the buffer had mixed with the substrate we removed 500 microliters of this new solution and added it to the "Start" cuvette. Using a clean tip, we pipetted 1 mL of enzyme into the 15 mL "Enzyme Reaction" conical tube, gently mixed, and then started our timer. We removed 500 microliters of the solution from the "Enzyme Reaction" tube and added it to the E1-E5 cuvettes at the corresponding times: 1 minute, 2 minutes, 4 minutes, 6 minutes, and 8 minutes. After these enzyme samples were collected, we used a clean pipet tip to remove 500 microliters of the solution from the "Control" reaction tube and added it to the "End" cuvette.…

    Ammonium Chloride Experiment Lab Report

    The problem of the experiment was how do the different chemical compounds (NH4Cl, CaCl2, NaCl) affect the temperature (oC) when mixed with 50.0 mL of water. The hypothesis being studied in this experiment was, if three different chemical compounds (NH4Cl, CaCl2, NaCl) are individually mixed with 50.0 mL of water, then the mixture with Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) will have the biggest decrease in temperature, because it has the biggest molecules so it will react more with the water. The data from the experiment rejects this hypothesis. The experiment suggests that Ammonium Chloride decreases the temperature of the water most drastically. For example the starting temperature of the water began at 20.0 oC then when Calcium Chloride was stirred in…

    Engineering Materials Week 12 Interacti

    During swelling and dissolution of polymeric materials, the solute molecules diffuse to and occupy positions among the polymer macromolecules. Increasing both the degrees of crosslinking and crystallinity will enhance a polymer's resistance to these types of degradation since there will be a greater degree of intermolecular bonding between adjacent chains. For linear polymers that are highly crystalline, the intermolecular bonds are secondary ones and relatively weak in comparison to the strong covalent bonds associated with the crosslinks.…
