The Effects of Acid Rain on Plant Growth PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment was to determine to what degree acid rain affects the growth of certain plants. I became interested in this idea because I’m worried about our environmental conditions and it sounded very interesting to me. The information gained from this experiment may be used to as a warning to stop air pollution. HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the plant watered with the acid solution will grow more slowly than plant’s

ETHERS Classification of Ethers: Symmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH2CH3 – diethyl ether Unsymmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are not identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH3 – ethyl methyl ether Physical Properties of Ethers: Ethers have much lower boiling points compared to alcohols of comparable MWs. BPs of ethers increases with increasing MW. BPs of isomeric ethers increase with increasing alkyl chain length. BPs of ethers are about the

If time permits‚ I could perhaps investigate other variables such as pH‚ surface area and concentration and their effect on calcium leaching. Moreover‚ I could also use other types of fish soup stocks and compare to determine which soup has more calcium in it. Lastly‚ I have purchased “cleaned” anchovies from the supermarket to carry out this experiment‚ where the head

of respiration. Urea is produced in the liver from excess amino acids. Where are the substances excreted? Carbon dioxide is passed from the cells of respiring tissues into the blood stream. It is transported in the blood (mostly in the form of hydrogen carbonate ions) to the lung. In the lungs the carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveoli to be excreted as we breathe out. Urea is produced by breaking down excess amino acids in the liver. This process is known as deamination. The urea is then

Indicators can be used to determine whether these substances are acidic‚ basic or neutral. Manufactured indicators are one type and the second type is natural indicators. Believe it or not‚ the majority of fruits‚ vegetables and flowers contain pigments which may be used as acid-base indicators. For example‚ Red cabbage contains within

Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the base. Preparation • Lab coats should

are Concentration camps? All Jews were starting to get arrested because Hitler didn’t like them. The Jew’s population was going down every day because Hitler was arresting them and killing them. The first Concentration camp opened in Germany in 1933. The police and local civilian authorities organized numerous detention camps. The Nazi controlled Europe between 1938 and 1945.

Affect of enzyme concentration to the rate of reaction Aim: With the experiment of protein solution‚ in this case egg white added to different pepsin concentrations (0%‚ 0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%) shows‚ as the egg white is a protein and the pepsin works as an enzyme‚ how a higher pepsin concentration and therefore a larger amount of enzymes effect the rate of reaction. Hypothesis: An increased concentration of pepsin speeds up the time the mixture needs to come clear. Introduction:

Experiment 1: Calorimetry Nadya Patrica E. Sauza‚ Jelica D. Estacio Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines Results and Discussion Eight Styrofoam ball calorimeters were calibrated. Five milliliters of 1M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was reacted with 10 ml of 1M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in each calorimeter. The temperature before and after the reaction were recorded; the change in temperature (∆T) was calculated by subtracting the initial temperature
