Background In the Flame test lab we took a simple wire‚ looped it‚ and rinsed it in HCL (Hydrochloric Acid ). Then we dipped the wire in the different samples provided. The samples provided were Sodium‚Potassium‚Calcium‚ Barium‚ Strontium‚ Lithium ‚ and Copper II. Finally we put the wire loop into the flame of the bunsen burner. The flame erupted into many different colors for each specific sample. We then used the colors we recorded to find the two unknown samples given to us. But the question

My partner and I were given unknown number 3 in the laboratory. After performing various tests over the course of a few weeks on our unknown‚ we came to the conclusion that our unknown organism is Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae). K. pneumoniae is a gram negative bacillus shaped microorganism. We observed that K. pneumoniae is a nonmotile organism. We performed multiple tests on our unknown culture‚ therefore we are very confident that it is correctly identified. We identified that K. pneumoniae

This lab tests the process of germination with various pH levels. The pH level of something is its measure of acidity or how basic it is‚ solutions with a pH of less than 7 are said to be acidic‚ and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are said to be basic. The tap water that was used to water our beans had a pH of 6. In this lab‚ we studied the process of germination (the process by which a plant grows from a seed). Certain environmental factors can cause or stop a seed’s germination‚ and these factors

Testable Question: What will happen to different halide salts found in the body if various compounds are added to the halide? How will the halides react? Introduction: For this lab we tested 6 halide salts found in the body‚ and their reactivity when a compound is added. We tested the halides NaF‚ NaCl‚ KBr‚ KI‚ and two unknown halides. To find the reaction of the halide‚ we are adding drops of Ca(NO3)2‚ AgNO3‚ AgNO3 + Na2S2O3‚ and NaOCI + Starch to the halides. Each halide will be separated from

you had to find out if the food you picked contained starch‚sugar‚lipids and protein.The food item that was chosen to decipher was a Big Mac and you chose what from the burger you wanted to test to see what it was made of‚ example like the bun of the burger. When testing you would have one test tube of water with food and the other test tube with the solution needed and food.The reason for the test tube with the water is because it was the indicator. If the product of food contained the macromolecule

A flame test is conducted when an element is burned and the flame produces a color different the starting flame color. When the coffee stirrer was put into the flame‚ the element’s atoms (from the solution of the stirrer) left the original level of energy. When the atoms fell back to ground level‚ they released photons in the form of colored flame. Using the flame test‚ unknown compounds can be identified when they are burned since each element has a specific color. (Douma‚ 2008). The color

Verifying Differences Between Athletes’ Heart Rates And Non-Athletes’ Heart Rates By Using Step Test Introduction: Different people have different heart rates because of many reasons such as health condition‚ smoking‚ working out‚ among others. This step test is used to compare and figure out the differences between athletes’ heart rates and non-athletes’ heart rates before and after the test. Kuno Hottenrott stated that the normal average heart rate of people ranges from 40 to 100 beats per

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to use staining techniques and biochemical testing to identify an unknown bacteria using Bergey’s manual. Bergey’s manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a dichotomous key primarily used to identify a bacterial species. Biochemical tests are used to differentiate different species of bacteria. These tests are effective in determining the characteristics of the microbe being tested. Such characteristics include citrate utilization‚ gelatin hydrolysis‚ nitrate

Repeat step 4 for each of the remaining salts. 3. Repeat step 4 for each of the unknown metals and predict the identity of the unknown metals. Repeat any of the known metals to help with this prediction. **Wash hands thoroughly before leaving the lab. ** Some of the salts used are poisonous or irritating to the skin. Keep your hands away from your mouth until after you have washed them and have let the
