Molecules Lab Report

Improved Essays
Molecules are a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. Molecules are three-dimensional entities and therefore should be depicted in three dimensions. My group decided on the claim that as electrons are bonded to a central atom, the greater the electron repulsion, causing an increase in the bond angles. Bond angles are the angles that are formed between two adjacent bonds on the same central atom. We analyzed the information that we discovered on the website that was given to us in the lab. We found that there are several types of bond pairs. Some types are linear, trigonal, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral. We also

    To begin Lab 10 of Chem 115, students received permission to start the lab procedure after completion of prelab. First, students made a 25.0 mL of a 0.15 M Malonic Acid and 0.20 M Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate solution and labeled it "Solution 1". After the solution was made, a piece of parafilm was used to seal the flask before mixing it well. Next, a 25.0 mL of a 0.20 M Potassium Iodate solution, using 0.080 M sulfuric acid as a solvent, was made. Before adding the acid, students heated about 25 mL of the acid in a 100 mL volumetric flask.…

    Types of Macromolecules Lab Report Name: Drasti Patel ID #: 20575017 Partner: Sijia Luo Course: BIOL 130L – 019 Tuesday, 7:30 Room # 151 TA: Ashutosh Patel, Doshina Naila Date of Experiment: September 16, 2014 Date of Submission: September 23, 2014 Introduction: The objective of this lab experiment is to identify different macromolecules by carrying out three different tests such as iodine test, Benedict’s test and the biuret test. These three tests are going to examine different properties of macromolecules such as their bonds, and functional groups to identify the solution as one of the four macromolecules. The iodine test is used to determine the presence of polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen in the solution (Harisha, 2006).…

    Goals The goal of the lab was to investigate the properties and structure of an unidentified compound that was discovered in a local landfill. The group was called in to help determine the chemical and physical properties of the compound so we can let the people of the town know so it can be taken care of properly with or without further precautions to be taken. Another goal of this project was to devise the synthesis of the unknown compound. Experimental Design In order to determine the correct identity of our unknown compound, we first started with a couple preliminary tests, which include physical state and smell.…

    Identifying Unknown Substance. Examining the physical characteristics of the available compounds in the lab was how possible compounds were eliminated from any or further testing. Based on how the compounds physically looked, it was almost for certain that calcium chloride was the unknown compound. However, another compound was used to test as well (ammonium chloride) since relying only on physical characteristics alone would not allow for proper experimentation. The unknown ended up being calcium chloride, however, until the pH test, ammonium chloride was still a possibility because the ammonium chloride could have been ground up.…

    The purpose of this lab was to determine if a change in mass occurs during a chemical reaction in a closed system. To conduct this experiment, the mass of the test tube, rubber cover, and other materials must be measured. To prevent the test tube from rolling off of the balance, a plastic cup was used to hold it in place, but the group had to remember to zero out the cup on the balance so the cup’s mass will not affect the masses of the objects the group was trying to measure. During this investigation, it was determined that there is a 0% change in mass after a chemical change in a closed system, because the mass of the copper and sulfur before heating did not change after being heated. Although the substances had changed in appearance and could no longer be considered…

    Chemical changes are everywhere from everyday things such as baking to scientific things such as changing one gas into another. Physical changes are changes that can be observed with senses and change a certain property or properties to a substance but it still remains chemically the same. This can include changes in the state of matter, size and shape. Chemical changes are when the substance is changed chemically with its properties changing with it. The substance with change from one substance to another.…

    Aim - The aim of this experiment is to find out at what age the ability to hear high frequencies begin to degrade. Hypothesis - As people get older the ability to hear high frequencies is much lower than the ability to hear high frequencies as a child. Background - As people get older, their capability to hear degrades whereas younger people like children, have a much better hearing since adults have experienced loud noises throughout their lives which degrades their hearing a little. The U.S department of health and Human services further explain that when a noise/sound/frequency is heard, the parts of the ear (inner, middle and outer ear)…

    A macromolecule is a molecule that contains any "large number" of atoms. There are four main different categories of macromolecules that make up our body: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. (1) Carbohydrates are sugars that store and transport energy. (2) Lipids also store energy and also are signalling molecules. (3) Proteins are linear chains of amino acids that help with the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs.…

    In this lab, we carried out a variety of reactions using different chemicals and metals. A chemical reaction is when the chemical state of the substance you are testing rearranges its ionic and molecular structure. One of the reactions we experienced was single replacement, this consists of one ion switching places with another ion to form a new compound. Another reaction we saw was double replacement. In this reaction, two compounds ions are switched to form two new compounds.…
