    Unknown Lab Report

    The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways, each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential tests used to identify the unknown cultures were oxidase, catalase, lactose and sucrose fermentation, Kugler/iron agar, nitrate reduction, gelatin hydrolysis, starch hydrolysis, manitol salt, MR-VP, citrate, bile esculin, indole, urease, DNase, and coagulase.…

    Hydrate Composition

    By calculating the difference in the mass of the hydrate copper (II) sulfate and the anhydride we were able to determine the mass of water in the hydrate. This information was then used to determine the empirical formula of the hydrate, defined as a compound formed by the addition of water to another molecule. In the first trial, the mass of water in the hydrate was determined to be 0.41 g, while in the second trial the mass of water was 0.52 g. Moles of water associated with a single mole of anhydride were then calculated for both trials, giving the values of 4.7 and 4.5 moles of water, respectively. This indicated that the empirical formula of the hydrate might be copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate – CuSO4·5H2O.…

    Ammonium Tartrate Lab Report

    Ammonium tartrate salt remains in the aqueous layer during the extraction. Ammonium tartrate dissolves easily in high pH solutions because ammonium tartrate is basic and thus dissolves better in basic (high pH) solutions rather than in acidic (low pH) solutions. Ammonium tartrate is also a negatively charged ion and therefore it will be difficult to deprotonate it in a highly acidic solution. In a basic solution, however, it would be easier for the negatively charged ion to accept positively charged hydrogen ions. To isolate (+)-α-phenylethylamine, one could boil the mixture at a temperature less than 180°C, since 180°C is the boiling point of (+)-α-phenylethylamine. By doing this, one can ensure that the (+)-α-phenylethylamine will not evaporate when the solution is boiled.…

    Malachite Lab Report

    When measuring out the copper sulphate during the Malachite experiment, the first thing that was noticed was the light blue colour on the powder. This colour became brighter and more vibrant after the distilled water was added. In a separate beaker, the sodium hydrogen carbonate when combined with the distilled water was white in colour. After both the solutions in the two beakers were stirred on the hotplate and combined, the solution released a lot of carbon dioxide which formed bubbles. In addition to this, the solution turned into a brighter shade of blue. The shade is dependent on the pH levels and speed of experiment and is very much influenced by the crystal structure of the chemicals. In historical paintings, the pigment tends to look…

    Hydrazine (N2H4) is one of the widely used chemical propellant today. Because of its high performance and stability, Hydrazine has been adopted into space industry as a replacement of cold gases. Few other parameters are also taken into consideration while choosing a propellant. An exothermic chemical decomposition takes place when Hydrazine is exposed to a catalyst to generate the required specific impulses. If a higher specific impulse is needed, thruster temperatures are increased which gives rise to the…

    Hydrate Lab Report

    The purpose of the lab is to identify the compound based on a constant composition by performing a serious of tests. The hydrate is solid crystals compound and appears to be dry: since an ionic compound (salt) is crystallized from an aqueous solution (water), by heating the hydrate the water is released from ionic structure; therefore it is possible to measure the weight of the ionic compound and calculate its ratio to the liquid in the hydrate. The goal of the lab is to establish the identity of a given hydrate (“wet salt”) by comparing the results with known hydrate percentages.…

    Hydrate Lab Conclusion

    Hydrate Lab Conclusion

    Conclusion 1: In this first lab we attempted to discover which of the materials given to us were hydrates by heating them and then dissolving them in water. Our results showed that all of our substances were hydrates besides the sucrose, sucrose if the only one which did not both bring condensation when heated and dissolve in water, which agreed with our hypothesis because we also thought that sucrose was going to be the only one that wasn’t a hydrate. The only error that we may have encountered in this lab was that when heating, the flame was not always the same temperature, but I feel as though this did not affect our data much because we didn’t need a set temperature, we were only seeing if the substance brought condensation. We could have improved out data by comparing our data with other groups and talk about our data if we got different answers. Further questions I could ask are, are there some hydrates that release water faster than others?…
