CHM1032L pre/post lab instructions Preparation is a key to success in this lab. For this reason‚ you are required to thoroughly read through the experiment information presented in the lab manual‚ and complete a pre-lab for each experiment you do. The prelab must be completed prior to the day of the experiment. Each Friday I will ask to see your completed prelab before I allow you to enter the lab. If you have not finished the pre-lab‚ I will not allow you to enter the lab and you will receive

Abstract: Water potential is the measure of free energy of water in a solution. The purpose of this lab was to find the water potential of a potato cell. The problem of this lab was‚ if there was a high molarity of solute‚ would it have a positive or negative water potential? The hypothesis of the experiment was‚ if there is a high molarity of solute then the water potential would be lower or negative. After obtaining potatoes‚ we cut them into pieces‚ weighed them‚ and then placed them in a solution

The first lab we did was overall fascinating. Each station had something different to offer and revealed results that I would not have guessed. The exercise that profoundly stuck out to me the most was the “water tank‚” lab. The procedure of the lab was to shoot a red laser beam into the tank of water from three different directions. I first shot the laser from above the water surface‚ then from below‚ and finally from the side of the tank. Interestingly enough‚ each direction‚ the laser would bend

LAB REPORT Introduction: In a chemical change‚ the identities of substances change and new substances form. In an equation the substances on the left are the reactants. The substances on the right are the products. In this experiment the objectives are to observe evidence that a chemical change has taken place. Infer from observations that a new substance has been formed. Identify and record observations that show energy is involved in chemical change observe the color‚ solubility of some substances

This lab report will be detailing the steps taken and the results discovered when using spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny and the thicknes of the copper layer on the copper-clad penny. After 1982‚ copper coating has been used in the creation of the penny because the cost of pure copper has increase to the point that the amount needed t omake a penny cost far more than the actual value of the penny. This lab allowed us to see just how much copper coating

Lab Report Janice Chisholm SCI207: Dependence of Man on the Environment Instructor: Lee Ott April 28‚ 2013 1. What patterns do you observe on the information table 4? While observing the information in table 4‚ it appears that the number of fish changes from time to time and the oxygen increases and / or decreases when this occurs. 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water?

Experiment 7 INVESTIGATING STOICHIOMETRY WITH SODIUM SALTS OF CARBONIC ACID Introduction In this experiment we are going to get a better understanding of chemical stoichiometry. We are going to be reacting sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with hydrochloric acid (HCl). To start off the mass of two unknown substances (being the sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate) will be taken. We will need to construct balanced equations for both of the reactants with the HCl and

various forms‚ such as marble‚ chalk and coral. It is produced either as powdered or precipitated calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate decomposes to calcium oxide and CO2 on heating. Treatment with dilute mineral acids produces corresponding calcium salts with liberation of CO2: CaCO3 + 2HNO3 Ca(NO3)2 + H2O + CO2(g) In this experiment‚ the mineral acid is added in excess to the calcium carbonate and the excess titrated against standard sodium hydroxide. This kind of titration

Water Wheel Work‚ Power‚ and Efficiency Pre-Lab Preparation: Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to create an efficient water wheel that would produce a productive time in lifting the cup of nuts and bolts that was attached to the pipe used in rotating out water wheel. The more efficient our wheel was the better the time we would have in lifting our cup. We were then able to observe the work that was needed to turn the axel‚ the time that is taken to bring the cup of washers to the axel‚ and
