Objective: The objective of the lab is to separate the caffeine samples we are using‚ using thin layer chromatography. The solvent we are using for the separation is 3:1 mixture of Chloroform and Acetone. Principle: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is an important technique that is useful for separating organic compounds. TLC is often used to monitor the progress of organic reactions and to check the purity of products. Separations in Thin layer chromatography involve distributing a mixture of

Introduction:- The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the concentration of an unknown copper (II) sulphate solution. You will be using the colorimeter. In this device‚ red light from the LED light source will pass through the solution and strike a photocell. The CuSO4 solution used in this experiment has a deep green color. A higher concentration of the colored solution absorbs more light (and transmits less) than a solution of lower concentration. [Content Standard B- Structure

“Electromyography in the Abductor Pollicis Brevis‚ Bicep‚ and Tricep Muscles of a Human”. July 6‚ 2015. PCB 3713L- General Physiology Lab‚ Section #001 Introduction Skeletal muscles are responsible for most of the locomotion seen in humans and animals. Electromyography can be used to measure the electrical activity emitted from the muscle and nerves that control the muscle. This electrical activity is seen when a neuron ignites an action potential that activates the muscle fibers that were innervated

Task 2 The extraction and purification of paracetamol from tablets In this experiment‚ I am trying to achieve an extraction of paracetamol from a commercial branded product. To test the purity I will find the melting point of the paracetamol. I will also be comparing my yield of paracetamol to the commercial tablets content of paracetamol as said on the packaging. EQUIPMENT • 2 paracetamol tablets • Propanone • 100cmᶟ conical flask x2 • 25cmᶟ measuring cylinder • Warm water bath • Filter funnel

Botany Lab ------------------------------------------------- Introduction This study observed the effects of different body fluids and solutions relative to breaking down bacteria‚ specifically in the human body. The enzymes we studied‚ lysozomes‚ help the body lyse‚ or break down bacteria by targeting peptidoglycan in bacterial walls. The solutions and fluids studied were saliva‚ mucus‚ tears‚ a stock solution of lysozomes‚ and distilled water. The solutions were placed in agar containing Micrococcus

LAB ACTIVITY 1 MEASUREMENTS IN SCIENCE: MASS‚ VOLUME‚ AND DENSITY Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is find the density of two metals using their mass and volume. Introduction: The purpose of the experiment that was conducted was to measure and calculate the density of two different metals. Density is an important characteristic of a material. The density of an object shows how much mass is contained in the unit volume. To calculate the density of metals the experimenters had to find

Biophysical Ecology Abstract: There are many patterns that can be observed throughout our environment. In this experiment‚ the temperatures of organisms in a biophysical environment were analyzed to see if a pattern could be recognized that was related to the behavior of an ectotherm. An ectotherm is an organism that relies on the environment to regulate its body temperature. Organisms such as Pseudemys (turtles) and Lacertilia (lizards) are examples or ectotherms. After arriving at Maxcy Gregg

I) Introduction In this lab‚ a test was conducted to determine how the relative redox activity of chloroplasts from spinach leaves‚ which were performing photosynthesis‚ would change when in the presence or absence of light. To observe these changes in redox activity‚ the chloroplasts were exposed to DCPIP‚ a chemical that changes color according to such activity. By determining the redox activity of the chloroplasts‚ it could then be inferred which chloroplasts were photosynthesizing more actively
