EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTEINS Abstract Different techniques and principles for protein extraction and characterization were demonstrated in this experiment. Various proteins were extracted from different sources: 1.67 g yeast invertase‚ 1.03 g egg white albumin‚ and 5.15 g of milk casein. Activity assay for invertase was performed using Benedict’s test and the enzymes inverting action on sucrose was confirmed. Warburg-Christian Method and Bradford Assay were also employed to determine

years questions with solutions Topic: Strength of Solution Q.1Discuss the effect of Temperature on Solubility of solids in Solvent. AnsThe solubility of solid in a liquid solvent generally increases with increase in temperature of the solvent. Very rarely some neutral salts like KCl for some solids the solubility decreases with increase in temperature. temperature increases‚ the solubility of a gas decrease as shown by the downward trend in the graph .More gas is present in a solution with

Honors 1-18-12 Relative Solubility of Transition Elements Introduction: In this lab we evaluate the solubility of compounds of iron‚ copper‚ zinc‚ and mercury in both water and acid. Coming into the lab we know that iron‚ copper‚ and zinc are all found in the the same row of the periodic table‚ while zinc and mercury are found in the same column. The transition metals are found in groups 3 to 12 and periods 4 to 6. Rows are known as periods and columns are known as groups. They share characteristics

met; 1. The desired substance must be completely precipitated. In most determinations the precipitate is of such low solubility that losses from dissolution are negligible. An additional factor is the "common ion" effect‚ this further reduces the solubility of the precipitate. When Ag+ is precipitated out by addition of Cl- Ag+ + Cl- =<-> AgCl(s) the (low) solubility of AgCl is reduced still further by the excess of Cl- which is added‚ pushing the equilibrium to the right. 2. The weighed

color‚ it indicates that there is more than one molecule present. Due to the different chemical structures of each kind of molecule‚ each one will have a slightly different polarity‚ giving each molecule a different solubility level when placed in the solvent. The unequal solubility levels from the various colors in the sample cause different color molecules to leave traces of the solution at different spots as the solvent moves up the paper. The more soluble a

Solvent: in an alloy‚ the element or compound present in greater amount Solute: in an alloy‚ the element or compound present in lesser amount Solid Solution: homogeneous maintains crystal structure contains randomly dispersed impurities (substitutional or interstitial) Second Phase: as solute atoms are added‚ new compounds / structures are formed‚ or solute forms local precipitates Solubility Limit of a component in a phase is the maximum

Plant Pigment Chromatography VII. Analysis (Questions) 1. What factors are involved in the separation of pigments? Factors that are involved in the separation of pigments can include pigment solubility‚ the attraction between the pigments and paper and the size of each pigment particle. Because of these factors the results were as they were. Beta-carotene traveled the furthest because it forms no hydrogen bonds to the chromatography paper and is slightly soluble in the solvent.

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Introduction Caffeine is soluble in boiling water and as a result it is easily extracted from tea bags by steeping in hot water. This process leaves behind the water insoluble portions of the tea bag. However‚ water extracts more than just caffeine‚ so a final separation is done with an organic solvent that will dissolve primarily caffeine. The organic solvent used in this experiment is Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂). Dichloromethane is less polar than water
