The purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the

metabolic rate are investigated. Hypothesis: With the information given‚ we tested the effects of given hormones on the body by using virtual rats. We expect to see a greater metabolic rate for the normal rat as opposed to the thyroidectomized rat. The hypox rat is expected to have the lowest metabolic rate. Metabolic rate will increase once thyroxine is injected. TSH will increase the metabolic rate of all the rats with

Coursework Rates of Reaction Research The rate of reaction tells us how quickly a chemical reaction takes place. It is important for people in industry to know how fast a reaction goes. They have to know exactly how much of their product they can make each hour‚ day or week. In a shampoo factory‚ the rate might be 100 bottles per minute. We can’t work out the rate of a reaction from its chemical equation. Equations can only tells us how much product we can get. They don’t say how quickly

H2O2 solution Dependent Variable: Rate of reaction (cm3/second) The gas syringe (± 0.5) is used to measure the amount of oxygen produced from the catalase reaction. A rubber stopper is used to ensure that there is a closed system and no O2 escapes Controlled Variables: Substrate ( H2O2 ) Concentration and Quantity The same pipette will be used to measure

factors that can influence the rate of diffusion through a membrane. Chemical kinetics plays a large part in diffusion. In order for a solute to passively diffuse through a membrane‚ it must line up with a pore in the membrane and pass through it (textbook 101). The concentration gradient is also important for diffusion because solutes diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (textbook page 101). There are different factors that can affect the rate of this diffusion. Our intent

The purpose of the lab was to find out the chemical elements based on the color of the flame that elements make by their reaction. The work we completed in the lab was testing the chemical effects of the flame from the chemicals. We tested different elements and wrote down our observations. I accomplished the knowledge of testing chemicals and making responses based on our observations.Electrons are the particles found in the chemicals that may be responsible for the production of colored light.

The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize triphenylmethanol from a Grignard reagent. The Grignard reaction technique was used in this synthesis but due to the fact that it is such a strong nucleophile and base‚ it was important to prevent water from interfering with the Grignard reaction. Purity of the product was determined by measuring the melting point. Reagent Table: Structure Name Molecular formula Molar mass Density Melting point Boiling Point Diethyl ether C4H10O

The experiment did not contain any form of reaction mechanism since no chemical identity had been changed. The lab demonstrates the use of chemical molecular behavior to isolate a particular set of molecules. Caffeine had already existed in the leaf itself but needed to be separated from the other chemicals. Caffeine’s chemical structure is relatively similar to the nucleic acid purine in that they use nitrogen and is bicyclic but lacks an alkene‚ amine and an amide. Caffeine has a solubility of

The calculation for formula mass helps determine if you need to convert grams to a particular substance to moles‚ from a product. Moles are numbers that are in front of formulae. E.g.‚ 6NaCl‚ 6 is the equation for this formula. A mole would help you balance a skeleton equation‚ and also allows you to calculate how many moles are needed to take part in a chemical reaction.
