Electrophoresis of Amino Acids Introduction: Electrophoresis is a separation technique based on the movement of charged ions under the influence of an electrical field. This technique is primarily used for the separation of amino acids and peptides on the basis of their charge. All amino acids contain ionizable groups that cause the amino acids‚ in solution‚ to act as charged polyelectrolytes that can migrate in an electric field. The amino acids with a net positive charge will migrate toward

The acid-base titration curves help to find the pKa‚ Ka‚ and pH at equivalent point. At the beginning pH for HCl is 1.90 which is lower than the 3.28 for acetic acid; thus‚ strong acid (HCl) means lower pH and weak acid (acetic acid) means higher pH. Then at the equivalent point for the titration HCl-NaOH the pH is 7‚ which mans that is neutral‚ in other words there are enough NaOH mmol to neutralize the HCl mmol present; also‚ the solution contains only water and NaCl the salt derived from the titration

ETHERS Classification of Ethers: Symmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH2CH3 – diethyl ether Unsymmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are not identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH3 – ethyl methyl ether Physical Properties of Ethers: Ethers have much lower boiling points compared to alcohols of comparable MWs. BPs of ethers increases with increasing MW. BPs of isomeric ethers increase with increasing alkyl chain length. BPs of ethers are about the

Abstract The bromination of trans-cinnamic acid was completed to determine dibromide’s stereochemical structure and its mechanism. After the addition of bromine to trans-cinnamic acid‚ the product was identified by its melting point and infrared spectrum resulting in erythro-2‚3-Dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid after comparing similar properties. Introduction In this lab‚ the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid was completed to determine dibromide’s stereochemical structure‚ and from there determine

What is a Tooth Extraction? A tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from the mouth. The procedure may need to be done for a number of reasons. Sometimes before getting braces‚ a tooth needs to be removed in order for the teeth to have enough room to move into their proper location and order for a straight smile. In other cases‚ a tooth may need to be removed because it has decayed or has become loose due to gum disease. Removing it is the first step in stopping the pain and infection

The Effects of Acid Rain on Plant Growth PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment was to determine to what degree acid rain affects the growth of certain plants. I became interested in this idea because I’m worried about our environmental conditions and it sounded very interesting to me. The information gained from this experiment may be used to as a warning to stop air pollution. HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the plant watered with the acid solution will grow more slowly than plant’s

Acids and Bases Shane Purpose- To study the relationship between pH and metabolism. 10/21/13 Materials- see attached Per. D Biology Procedure- see attached Data and Results- see attached Theory- PH stands for the power of hydrogen. People refer to the pH scale as a tool for finding out if a substance is acidic‚ basic‚ or neutral. This scale goes from zero to fourteen. The number seven is neutral. Any number higher than seven on this scale is basic. Any number lower is acidic

fermented from sugar. The fermentation of ethanol results in the production of acetic acid (CH3COOH). The typical pH of vinegar ranges anywhere from 2 to 3.5‚ although shop-bought vinegar usually measures 2.4 www.wisegeek.com/what-is-vinegar.htm fig 1 In this study we will determine the amount of acid in a vinegar sample by using titration‚ a common technique in chemistry a typical shop brought vinegar has an acid percentage of 5% see fig 1. A titration is a technique where a solution of known
