  • Alum Lab

    1139 Words  | 3 Pages

    Objective The ability to analyze a substance and determine properties of the substance is an important skill for AP Chemistry students. Major concepts for the “Analysis of Alum” laboratory are percent composition, water of hydration, and molecular formula. They will be used in three different experiments to determine the melting point of alum, the mole ratio of hydrated water to anhydrous alum, and percent of sulfate ion contained in alum. The values acquired in the lab should be close to the calculated

  • Cotton Swab Lab Report

    791 Words  | 2 Pages

    In order to preform this experiment you will need; cotton swabs, agar plates, microscope, unused slides, oil immersion, nigrosin, and crystal violet. The first task we must do is use the cotton swabs and swab an item out side of the laboratory, that has the capability of containing either yeast, bacteria, and mold. My lab partners and I chose to swab one of our group members cell phone. Once we swabbed the phone with the cotton swab, we then each had a plate of agar. To start the process of the transfer

    bath, a boss head was used to hold the syringe down. My partner then started the stop clock and I was on hand to count the number of bubbles produced each minute. I intended to work out an average number of three readings. After washing the equipment out we intended to repeat the experiment with 5% and 10% concentrations of glucose. Results I could not get results out of the experiments undertaken, due to the fact that the mixture in the syringe was leaking out. This effected my counting

  • Medical Hot and Cold Packs Experiment

    2003 Words  | 5 Pages

    After the calorimeter constant is found we can move on to part two of the experiment, where we will test each of the four salts in the calorimeter to find out if the salt will be used for a hot or cold pack. Our goal is to first determine the q_dissolution and then to find the heat of dissolution. A -〖∆H〗_dissolution will be an exothermic reaction which indicates that the salt would go in a hot pack. While a 〖∆H〗_dissolution will be an endothermic which indicates that the salt would go in an ice

    Intro In Lab #5 five we will be exploring the cycle of copper through many chemical reactions. What we are going to do is take a piece of copper metal put it through a series of reactions that change it¡¦s state of matter and chemical formula, but in the end, we will return it to it¡¦s normal solid state. The idea of this lab is to try to recover as close to 100% of the copper we started with. Theoretically, this is possible, but for inexperienced college students, retrieving 100% of the copper metal

  • Magnesium Ratios Lab Report

    653 Words  | 2 Pages

    The weight of the magnesium atom was unknown, and it is not possible to weigh the atoms directly due to their incredibly small size and weight. Crucible, clay triangle, Bunsen burner, 10cm magnesium ribbon, scale, flask tongs, retort stand, ring clamp, weight scale. The weight of the crucible after heating it for one minute over the Bunsem burner and allowing it to cool for five minutes was, as shown in Figure 1 above, 26.7 grams. The combined weight of the 10 centimetre magnesium ribbon along

  • Cereal Lab Report

    700 Words  | 2 Pages

    The objective of this lab is to try to separate the different compounds that are contained in cereal. Cereal are composed of different components such as sugar, vegetables oils, vitamin, minerals, and other preservatives. In this experiment we will try to separate the different compounds. I believe that the law of conversation of mass should come into effect in this experiment. The reason being is because the mass of the reactants must equal the same amount as the product even if the reactants go

  • Gel Electrophoresis Procedure

    1004 Words  | 3 Pages

    Procedure To begin with this project, a gel electrophoresis chamber must be built. In this chamber, a plastic box will be the chamber, a stainless steel wire will replicate electrodes, batteries will be the power outlet, and the wells will be replicated by using a styrofoam comb. Hold the plastic box horizontally. First cut two separate pieces of the stainless steel wire with your wire cutters (Remember the gauge must be no smaller than 18 and no larger than 24!). The wire should be a few centimeters

    biology and psychology courses. My deepened interest towards the neural basis of memory and learning and its impacts on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s eventually lead me to attain an undergraduate research opportunity in the Mizumori laboratory. The Mizumori laboratory’s primary focus is to understand the neural mechanism of natural and adaptive behaviors. Spatial navigation, a behavior central for an animal’s survival has remained the model under analysis in this lab. Consequently, dysfunction
