Calcium Oscillations: Synthesis and Binding Studies of Photo-reversible Calcium Chelator Harpreet Sandhanwalia December 2‚ 2011 Dr. Alison McCurdy Abstract: Living bodies maintain a homeostasis by constant communication amongst the various cells and organs. Calcium plays a very important role in controlling this network of communication and henceforth helping in carrying out many essentials functions. However the exact working of Calcium

In the experiment‚ we tested a sodium chloride solution. Along with the tested solution‚ control groups (water and sodium phosphate) were used to be help understand whether or not NaCl was a buffer. Water was the negative control group and sodium phosphate was the positive control group. If NaCl was a buffer than the pH would be stabled as the sodium phosphate buffer. If NaCl was not a buffer than the pH would fluctuate like the negative control‚ water. During the first trial and prior to the drops

Preparation of Fruit Flavors (Pear) Abstract. In this experiment an assigned Ester is prepared‚ particularly n-Propanol. The Preparation was done via Fischer reaction. In this reaction‚ a reflux set-up is required. The reflux set-up was used in the liquid-liquid extraction. After adding an immiscible solution to the compound containing n-Propanol‚ the mixture now will have two layer: the Organic and Aqueous layer. The organic layer is the extract needed and its % yield is computed resulting to

Purpose: The Purpose of this lab is to utilize‚ demonstrate and understand the various techniques and procedures used to gravimetric labs. For this particular lab we will utilize our scientific knowledge of related to gravimetric procedures to find the chloride content in an unknown soluble salt. Theory: Using our developed knowledge of the conservation of mass‚ solubility and precipitation it is possible (with some degree of error) to know the content of chlorine in a particular salt by dissolving

Copper Chloride Lab Report Procedure Part A: 1. Pick up the container of copper chloride dehydrate‚ and observe material. Describe crystals in detail‚ and write down all of the observations. Part B: 1. Take a 100 ml beaker and fill ¼ of it with water. Use a spatula to add some copper chloride dehydrate to the beaker filled with water. Record the observations. Be sure to observe the water and the copper chloride dehydrate. 2. Stir the contents in the beaker with

From the experiment‚ it was determined that Sodium chloride had a crystalline structure‚ even after being broken into smaller pieces with a hammer. Even though there was two different types of Sodium chloride‚ coarse and fine‚ they still had a symmetrical‚ three-dimensional shape. All ionic compounds have this structure. It was also found that Sodium chloride had a high melting point and sugar had a low melting point. This is because Sodium chloride is ionic and the bonds holding it together take much

Activity 1.7.2 Synthesis of Esters Purpose- the Purpose of this lab is to synthesize Esters by combining Carboxylic Acid and Alcohols. In this lab we will synthesize and then detect the odour of Esters formed. Materials- Materials that will be used in this lab are as follows:- Ethanol 7. Acetic Acid Eye Protection 11. Test tube rack Procedure- Prepare a hot-water by half filling a 500-mL beaker with water and heating it carefully on a hot plate until it comes to a gentle

At the beginning of the lab‚ a micro test tube with and without glass wool was weighed on an analytical balance. A watch glass‚ crucible‚ and lid were also weighed. The masses of all the materials needed for the lab were recorded in the data tables of the laboratory notebook. An unknown vial was obtained from the teacher and set to zero on the balance. About 0.6 grams of the unknown was measured into the micro test tube. The analytical balance was set to zero again and then the test tube with the

energy lost by Calcium Chloride and gained by Ammonium Nitrate when dissolved in Water. Theory: Exothermic reactions are when net energy is lost in process of reaction. When solid calcium chloride (chemical formula CaCl₂) is placed in water‚ the calcium chloride dissolves and liberates heat in the process. Calcium chloride is one of the ingredients in instant "hot packs" sold in retail stores. Some concrete mixes incorporate calcium chloride to decrease drying time. Calcium chloride is also used as a

The halides in unknown solution were identified as iodide and chloride based on their experimental E°(Ag/AgX) values‚ -0.16 ±0.01V and 0.22 ±0.02V respectively. These results were both accurate with percent error of 5.96% for iodine and 0.9% for chloride. The literature value of E°(Ag/AgI) and E°(Ag/AgCl) were -0.151V and 0.222V respectively (1). In addition‚ the literature vales lay within the 95% confidence interval for both halides therefore the results were accurate. These results were precise
