Abstract The chloride present in an unknown soluble sample was precipitated into silver chloride through precipitation gravimetry. The colloidal silver chloride originally formed was converted to a crystalline solid by controlling certain parameters of the experiment such as temperature‚ pH of the solution‚ and concentration of AgNO3. Once the solid was large enough‚ it could be washed‚ filtered‚ and weighed. The percentage of chloride present was found to be 24.73695223 (±0.00000006) %.

Intracellular free calcium levels: Intracellular free calcium levels were estimated according to the method of Luo and Shi (Luo and Shi‚ 2005). Briefly‚ hippocampi were isolated from mice brains and subjected to hippocampal cells isolation as described later. The cells obtained were incubated with Fura-2 AM at 37°C with gentle shaking. The fura-2 loaded suspension was centrifuged for 10 minutes‚ pellet was washed once with Ca2+-free buffer and was centrifuged again. Aliquots of the washed suspension

How sodium chloride concentration affects the germination‚ growth and development of Brassica rapa. Osumi‚ K.‚ Nihei‚ B.‚ Takanishi‚ K.‚ Nakamura‚ C.‚ Warehime‚ R. Period 2. 03/05/17 Introduction: To have a successful germination‚ the plant seed needs a sufficient amount of water and oxygen present. Other conditions include room temperature‚ and the amount of light intake. Hydration of a seed‚ is an essential step for seed germination (Martínez-Andújar‚ 2014). Plants tend to germinate better in

was taken‚ and finally calcium chloride was added‚ which formed a chemical reaction. Our lab question was how does the amount of calcium chloride affect the temperature of the product? We chose our independant variable to be the amount of calcium chloride added to the water/baking soda mixture. We had the dependant variable be the ending temperature. My hypothesis is IF we add more calcium chloride‚ THEN the temperature of the product will rise‚ BECAUSE the calcium chloride is what releases the gas

In this experiment‚ the objective is to successfully perform an SN1 reaction to determine the reactivity of tert-butyl chloride‚ through the usage of sodium iodide/silver nitrate reagents and to synthesize tert-butyl chloride. The tert-butyl chloride was synthesized through the use of separation (aqueous and organic layers) and distillation. Tert-butyl chloride is the alkyl halide which is being synthesized throughout the course of the experiment. Alkyl halides are derived from alkanes. Once an alkane

“The Synthesis of Zinc Chloride”‚ what a peculiar name for a lab that does not even involve synthesis. Synthesis‚ by definition‚ is when two elements are combined in a chemical reaction‚but that is not the case. In this lab we are combining zinc‚ an element‚ and hydrochloric acid‚ a compound‚ but combining a compound and an element is not synthesis‚ it is single replacement. We are taking zinc and hydrochloric acid and making zinc chloride and hydrogen‚ a single replacement‚ but what occurred during

why not? HI isn’t an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound because both hydrogen and iodine are nonmetals. 6) Why would the bulb light up when placed in an aqueous solution of sodium chloride but not in a solid sample of sodium chloride? In a solid sample of sodium chloride‚ sodium and chloride are bonded together ionic and so there aren’t any free electrons to support the flow of electricity. When sodium

this the atoms making up the compounds are either binary or polyatomic. The simplest compounds to name are binary ionic compounds‚ for example NaCl‚ which is named Sodium Chloride. Na having a positive oxidation number goes first followed by Cl which having a negative oxidation number goes last and is changed from Chlorine to chloride the -ide indicating its negative charge. Of course‚ the

Why Calcium nutrition is so important? Calcium is one of the most important minerals that body needs in order to function properly and to maintain optimal health‚ especially when it comes to bone. Calcium is used in so many ways throughout the body. It is necessary for contracting muscles‚ forming and strengthening bones and teeth‚ conducting nerve impulses throughout the body‚ blood clotting‚ maintaining a normal heart beat as well as other important processes. Calcium performs a number of basic
