Biuret Lab Report

Firstly, During the procedure the purpose of this lab was to determine and identify if there is protein in water, apple juice, vegetable oil, potato, and egg whites. This was done by using the biuret solution. So this means if the material turns purple then we know it contains the protein, but if it doesn't turn out to be purple then it doesn't contain protein. The data in this experiment shows that water, apple juice, vegetable oil, and potato all did not contain protein this is because none of them turned purple. Although, the only one that did turn purple out of the five materials because of protein was egg whites. My hypothesis was "If we use the biuret solution on five of food materials water, apple juice, and vegetable oil will

(Khan Academy) E. coli chooses prefers glucose and other "better" sugars, so if any are present other than lactose the lac operon will not be expressed in the plasmid.

    The objective of the biuret test was to find solutions that contain protein. The solutions that turn violet in colour display the presence of protein in them (Rocco, 2006). As shown in Table 3 above, we can see that two of the solutions we used in this lab experiment turned violet including protein solution and the unknown solution. This indicates the presence of protein in both of these solutions. We know that protein solution was the positive control of this test and since it had a colour change, it indicates that the biuret test was done…

    Materials. Numerous substances in the experiment were used. The most frequently used was the unknown due to the need to test its physical and chemical qualities. When a solution of the unknown was made, 1.000 g of the unknown and 1.0 mL of water was used to make it. To test for the possible ions, 1.0 mL of silver nitrate and 1.0 mL of nitric acid were used for the ion test.…

    The purpose of this lab was to measure the exact mass of a primary standard, to find the precise number of moles of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) included to the reaction, the molarity of NaOH at the equivalence point, the molarity of an aqueous solution containing NaOH, as well as how much volume was needed to get to the equivalence point specified by the end point. The first step in this experiment was to prepare a solution of NaOH with an unknown molar concentration. Then, determine the concentration of the NaOH by titration, using KHP which has a known concentration and is considered a primary standard. during this experiment, Phenolphthalein was found to be the best indicator for the titration of vinegar with NaOH, due to it having…

    Introduction: The purpose for this experiment is to carry out the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol, which undergoes an E1 mechanism by following Saytzev’s rule to form different product such as 1-methylcyclohexanol, 3-methylcyclohexanol and methylenecyclohexane. The reaction can be dehydrated using sulfuric acid and H3PO4. The dehydration mechanism occurs in several steps like – 1. Converting the OH group into a better leaving group that is deprotonating with H3PO4. 2.…

    The liver which is the largest organ in the body produces bile and stores glucose. Likewise, the pancreas produces pancreatic juices which contain sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and digestive enzymes for all types of food. The gallbladder, on the other hand, is a storage for bile that is produced by the liver. This information can be found on pages 649-651. These answers are correct because the bile produced by the liver emulsifies fat and blood glucose remains constant.…

    An unknown sample #18 was obtained on November 6, 2017. The sample came in a glass test tube with a cotton swab that contain the unknown sample. To find the identity of the unknown sample, we had to conduct several biochemical tests to eliminate and narrow down possible organisms that fit the biochemical description to accurately identify our unknown organism of interest. These biochemical tests provided insight on the physical color retention of our unknown sample, and through’s the unknown organism’s ability to break down tested compounds to determine if it had the corresponding enzyme that would allow it to do so. The testing of unknown organisms to accurately discover its identity is crucial in the field of health science.…

    The focus of this lab was to identify an unknown organism based on its characteristics and the results from each of the tests. There will be various of test to choose from in order to identify the unknown organism, which will eliminate numerous possibilities and narrow it down to one. All the fundamental skills that we have learned and practiced in the lab will be used to perform on our unknown such as aseptic technique, microscopic examination, the use of differential media, and determining if it’s positive or negative. Performing aseptic techniques is the most crucial step that requires the utilizing of transferring, inoculating, and storing bacterial cultures and media. Aseptic technique is defined as procedures that prevent contamination…

    It is important to note that the goal of this experiment was to find the pKa value of bromothymol blue, a pH indicator commonly used in titrations. [UNC, 2017] The pKa is where the number of moles of acid to conjugated base are equivalent. To find this, both Beer’s Law and spectroscopy were utilized in an attempt to make graphs to show just where this value occurred. According to Sigma-Aldrich, the pKa of bromothymol blue is approximately 7.10.…
