Sam Chu (Jacob Gorman and Tyler Kui) Lab #1: Separation of a Mixture Mr. Mejia 10/3/14 Separation of a Mixture Lab Report Abstract The purpose of the experiment was to separate an initial heterogeneous mixture composed of 5.00 grams of salt‚ 2.00 grams of sand‚ 50.0 mL of water‚ 15.00 grams of pebbles‚ and 1.00 gram of iron filings‚ and leave as much salt as possible remaining. Using separation techniques including magnetizing‚ evaporation‚ filtration‚ etc. the heterogeneous mixture was thoroughly

Unknown reports in microbiology are written in scientific format. Scientific writing is written differently from other types of writing. The results of the exercise or experiment are what are being showcased‚ not the writing. The purpose of scientific writing is not to entertain‚ but to inform. The writing should be simple and easy to understand. There is a specific style that must be followed when writing scientific reports. Scientific writing is typically written in the passive voice. The

this lab was to determine the density of water and an unknown liquid. Density is defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume. It is an intrinsive property of matter and is used to specifically characterize substances. III. Procedure: 1.We massed an empty 10mL graduated cylinder to the nearest .01g. 2.Then‚ we filled the graduated cylinder with 4.0-5.0 mL of distilled water‚ 3.massed it to the nearest 0.1 ml and 4. recorded the data. Then to determine the density of the unknown liquid;

Introduction When plant and animal cells are placed in a hypotonic environment‚ osmosis will occur. The structure of these cells determines the response to the difference in gradient‚ whether this be lysis (the explosion of cells due to the sudden increase in water pressure within the cell) in animal cells or turgor pressure (the pressure created by the increase in water pressure within the cell) in plant cells. Turgor pressure prevents further osmosis‚ which causes the water potential outside the

April 04‚ 2014 Fisher Esterification Introduction: Esters are one of the most common derivatives of carboxylic acids and are widely distributed in both nature and industry. A Fischer Esterification is the formation of an ester and water from alcohol and an acid. It is the simplest means of synthesizing an ester and requires the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The general reaction of Fischer esterification is‚ CH3CO2H + ROH ↔ CH3CO2R + H2O (reaction1) CH3COOH + ROH ↔

’Neil 2002). The particular conditions that had to exist for this to apply were that the population had no mutation‚ had no natural selection‚ was a large population‚ had only random mating‚ and had no migration. For the cases to follow later in the lab‚ Cases 1 and 2 exemplify Hardy-Weinberg conditions. All of the others either have selection or not enough members in the population‚ which will be the most-closely observed

Unknown #1 Vomit Serratia marcescens & Bacillus cereus Biol 251 Microbiology 5/14/2009 Introduction The purpose of this study is to differentiate and identify two unknown organisms provided by the instructor in a nutrient broth. It is only known that the two organisms are from vomit; one is gram-positive and the other is gram-negative. It is necessary to first separate the two organisms by inoculating a nutrient agar plate using the streak-plate method. The

Evolution Lab Report Marcos Chapa July 3‚ 2013 BIO 101 Rebecca Avants The purpose of the lab I have conducted is to analyze how altering the finch’s environment would affect the evolution of the finches by isolating each population of finches from each other‚ placing them each on a different island. This influence on the species by the environment is called allopatric speciation. One population of the finches that are located Darwin Island‚ which is 1 km‚ and the other population of finches
