Analyzing the effects of varying hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations on the volume of its drop Jonah Jemina IB Chemistry SL 11 Mr. Eastwood Analyzing the effects of varying hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations on the volume of its drop Jonah Jemina Introduction: Hydrogen peroxide is a clear and colourless substance that has a strong oxidizing characteristic. From the books‚ “Hydrogen Peroxide: Medical Miracle”[1995] by Douglass and “Applications of hydrogen

Diffusion in Cells Isabel Zak Question: How does the size of a cell affect the distribution of chemicals throughout the cell? Hypothesis: The larger the cell is‚ the more difficult it will be for the chemicals to reach the centre of the cell‚ and diffuse throughout it. This is because there will be a higher surface-area to volume ratio in the larger cells‚ making the centre of the cells further away from the surface. Therefore‚ when dipped in sodium hydroxide‚ the larger cells will not be

The Onion Cell Lab Background: Onion tissue provides excellent cells to study under the microscope. The main cell structures are easy to see when viewed with the microscope at medium power. For example‚ you will observe a large circular nucleus in each cell‚ which contains the genetic material for the cell. In each nucleus‚ are round bodies called nucleoli. The nucleolus is an organelle‚ which synthesizes small bodies called ribosomes. Ribosomes are so small you cannot see them with the light microscope

Determining the Concentration of an Unknown Solution Graph: The effect of concentration of CuS04 * 5H20 on transmittance. I solved for my unknown by plugging in “y” as my given transmittance value‚ which was 85.0. y = -278x + 100.12 .85 = -278x + 100.12 -99.27 = -278x X = .357M (concentration) The relationship between the transmittance values and the concentration is an indirect relationship. Whenever the concentration increases‚ the transmittance decreases. It can also be reversed

Experiment No. 1 – Varying Extracellular Concentration Introduction: This experiment sets out to determine the tonicity of solutions with varying concentrations of sodium chloride on the red blood cells of sheep by measuring the transmittance of a red blood cell/NaCl solution with a spectrometer. This is done in order to study the effects of solutions containing varying levels of tonicity to red blood cells. Tonicity describes what happens to a cell when it is placed in a certain solution. Hypertonic

Observations: When Malaria is present and infects red blood cells‚ parasites can infect cells carrying defective hemoglobin which may result in death. Allele frequency changes over time depending on the pressures or circumstances facing a particular population. African populations are especially impacted by both malaria and sickle cell anemia. Depending on the impacted population‚ allele frequency often shifts and well suited organisms are likely to survive and allele frequencies can increase

and centrifuged for 20 seconds. A polyacrylamide gel was assembled and the samples were loaded into it. The gel ran for approximately 45 minutes at 160 V. A western blot analysis was done in order to examine the Erk1/2 phosphorylation of the NIH3T3 cells. Three pieces of Whatman paper were wet in transfer buffer and placed on the anode plate. A wet PVDF membrane was placed on top of the Whatman paper. The gel was removed from holder and the stacking gel was removed. Forceps were used to place the gel

determining the standard reduction potentials of different electrochemical half-cells through pairing it with Cu2+(0.1 M)|Cu half-cell and then comparing it with the theoretical value. Galvanic or voltaic cells contain the anodic and cathodic cell reactions‚ and in order to get the value of Ecell‚ we add both half-reactions. The more positive the Ecell‚the more negative ΔG would be‚ thus‚ giving us a spontaneous reaction. After comparing the cell potentials‚ formation constant of [Cu(NH3)4]2+

Conductivity of electrolyte solutions (Dated: October 29‚ 2009) I. INTRODUCTION Pure water does not conduct electricity‚ but any solvated ionic species would contribute to conduction of electricity. An ionically conducting solution is called an electrolyte solution and the compound‚ which produces the ions as it dissolves‚ is called an electrolyte. A strong electrolyte is a compound that will completely dissociate into ions in water. Correspondingly‚ a weak electrolyte dissolves only partially
