Effect of ions on living organisms (24 marks) An ion is a charged atom or molecule. This is because it does not have an equal amount of protons and electrons‚ therefore giving the atom an overall charge. An example of an ion is ‚ this is sodium and the plus sign represents an overall positive charge. Ions are very important to living organisms as they are essential for life‚ they play an important role within the cell allowing mechanisms within the living organisms such as respiration‚ to take

Ion Exchange Chromatography Week 10 TAG Question 1: Chapter 6-4 of your technique book provides a detailed description of how to run a ion- exchange column. Assume you have a cation-exchange column already prepared and ready to use. Create an outline of no more than 10 steps describing how you will regenerate the column‚ load your sample and collect the hydronium ion released. 1. Open the stopcock at the bottom of the column and allow solution to drain out until the solution level in the

OBJECTIVE The main objective of this experiment is to carry out qualitative analysis to identify metal cations in unknown solution 1. INTRODUCTION An unknown material can be determined by using simple chemical tests and separations which is called as inorganic qualitative analysis. The separation of cations depends on the difference in their propensity to form precipitates. Separation scheme is used to classify cation into five groups on the basis of their physical and chemical behavior opposed to some

LAB 3.Ø.Ø: do ions combine in definite ratios PURPOSE The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether ions combine in definite ratios or not. To observe‚ and create a table of the different ions. QUESTION If copper (II) sulfate when mixed with sodium carbonate at different quantities combine to form ions in definite ratios. HYPOTHESIS / PREDICTION I believe that the ions will combine in definite ratios due to the fact that the valance electrons will not be changing throughout any

Determination of Percent Potassium & Percent Iron in an Iron Oxalate Salt by Ion Exchange Introduction: This experiment involves determining both the percent potassium (K) and iron (Fe) in a single titration after passing a solution containing a known mass of complex salt through an ion exchange column. Ion Exchange: Certain materials called ion exchange resins consist of rather large molecules which contain ions that can be displaced. The resins are solids‚ insoluble in water‚ usually granular

Lab #3: Ion Exchange Chromatography Objective The purpose of this experiment was to separate proteins on the basis of their net charge at a particular pH. In cation exchange chromatography positively charged molecules are attracted to a negatively charged column. Conversely‚ in anion exchange chromatography‚ negatively charged molecules are attracted to a positively charged column. Experimental results could be monitored in a predictable way by controlling running pH‚ salt concentration‚ and by
