Background: Techniques used were in accordance with NMU Professor Dr. D. Becker’s lab manual (ISBN 0-390-53911- 2; McGraw Hill). Changes in protocol or interpretation are noted where they were implemented‚ but strict adherence to the manual prevailed. Materials and Methods: Microscope‚ incubator‚ and deionizer functioned correctly throughout testing period‚ with stains‚ dishes‚ agars‚ and test reagents readily available. Lab procedures are considered orthodox and usage thereof is noted chronologically

Calorimetry To determine the specific heat of a metal and its approximate atomic mass. To determine the heat of neutralization for a strong acid-strong base reaction. To determine the quantity and direction of heat flow for the dissolution of salt. Post Lab Questions and Answers: 1. In parts A and B in‚ the calorimeter‚ although a good insulator‚ absorbs some heat when the system is above room temperature. Is the reported value for the specific heat of the metal too high or too low? Explain. Is the reported

Physiology‚ Berry HOMEOSTASIS LAB ACTIVITY Introduction: Homeostasis means maintaining a relatively constant state of the body’s internal environment. The term used to describe a pattern of response to restore the body to normal stable level is termed negative feedback. When a stimulus (environment change) is met by a response that reverses (negates) the trend of the stimulus‚ it is negative feedback. As a result the internal environment is returned to normal. Pulse rate is constantly checked

The Osmosis Lab SHS Lacrosse Monster #2 Dates performed: 10/10/11 and 10/11/11 Introduction: The purpose of the laboratory investigation was to observe the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane. In this lab‚ dialysis tubing was used to represent the semi-permeable cell membrane. Three dialysis tubes were prepared with 5% sucrose solution and were soaked in solutions of different concentrations. The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. When

Enzyme Lab: Peter Kuetzing – 10/4/2012 – F Block 1. How does changing the concentration of enzyme affect the rate of decomposition of H2O2? When more enzymes is added the rate of reaction speeds up. In this case‚ H2O2 will produce more O2‚ in return the kpa/min will go up. 2. What do you think will happen to the rate of reaction if the concentration of enzyme is increased to five drops? Predict what the rate would be for 5 drops. I think that the rate of reaction will slightly increase from

Alexis Becker Pre-Lab Experiment 7 Avinash Pallagani Investigating Stoichiometry with sodium salts of carbonic acid 4/2/14 A summary of the concepts: The purpose of this lab is to better understand “stoichiometry”. We will be reacting sodium carbonate (NaHCO)3 and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical reaction looks like this: NaHCO3 + HCl = NaCl + H2O + CO2 CAUTION: Be especially

peroxidase. The three conditions tested were the effect of peroxidase concentration on the rate of the experiment‚ the effect of pH of the rate of peroxidase activity‚ and the effect of temperature on the rate of peroxidase activity. During the lab‚ the lab group tested 7 test tubes‚ including 1 blank‚ with different amounts of pH 5 buffer‚ H2O2‚ Peroxidase‚ and Guaiacol. After the certain amount of mL per substance was mixed‚ the absorbance readings for the effect of peroxidase concentration were
