Introduction The purpose of this lab was to explore the properties of an unknown compound. An unknown was given and a cation flame test and anion test was performed to determine the identity of the compound. Once the identity was determined‚ the properties were explored. Experimental To determine the cation of the compound‚ a cation flame test was performed. A bunsen burner was lit until a medium blue flame was burning. The given unknown was scooped onto a nichrome wire loop. The wire was held

Identifying an Unknown Aldehyde or Ketone Introduction The purpose of this lab is to identify an unknown aldehyde or ketone substance using chemical tests. The chemical tests used in this experiment are solubility‚ Schiff‚ Bisulfite‚ and Iodoform tests. Also‚ a 2‚4-dinitrophenylhydrazone derivative synthesis reaction will be completed from which a melting point will be obtained. The chemical test results and the melting point analysis will be compared to the table of compounds given to find the

understand this lab we first need to know what gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are and what it’s composed of. Gram-positive bacteria take up the class of bacteria that stain crystal violet in the method of bacterial differentiation. Where gram-negative bacteria are a class of bacteria that does not retain crystal violet. Instead they are counter-stained pink by Safranin‚ and because of this‚ identifying positive is possible. One of the many differences between gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria

performed this test‚ the initially slant for unknown microorganism #17 is important. For this lab‚ two identical slants are used for two reasons. Firstly‚ the slant can be used to make sure that there is no contamination from the Nutrient Agar plate. Secondly‚ the second slant will become a stock culture to prevent the shortage of slants during performing the series of tests. Kliger’s Iron Agar tests can be used to determine multiple characteristics of unknown microorganism #17. Kliger’s Iron Agar slants

Identification of Unknown Report Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture. The unknown was identified using differential tests to determine its metabolic and morphology characteristics. Results from the differential tests indicated that unknown culture 5 is Staphylococcus aureus. Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture using a series of differential tests. The tests

Requirements for Unknown Report You have been provided a mixed culture (a gram positive and a gram negative) from which you should have isolated each type of organism‚ described their colonies on a TSA plate‚ and described their cellular morphology. You were graded on this activity separately. After you have isolated your gram negative in pure culture you will be subjecting it to various biochemical tests and making observations about the cells‚ colonies‚ growth temperature preferences‚ etc. in

The unknown soda ash from experiment 3 was used‚ to determine the weight for each trial we used the equation of (M of HCl) x (18 ml x 105.99) / (10 x 2 x Na2CO3 ). Which was equal to (0.01472 M) x ((18 mL X 105.99)(10 x 2 X 2.428 % )= 0.6 g. To start we had to rinse the beakers‚ electrode and the stirring bar with diluted water. The sample we needed was weighted to the closest 0.1 mg which we got was 0.3 for the first trial. The sample was transferred to a 250 mL beaker and dissolved in 70 mL of
