N-Bromosuccinimide Lab Report

Decent Essays
• All volume measurements have to be watched precisely on eye level with the reading from the lower meniscus.
• The burette needs to be lowered down before being equipped with the funnel and then filled with the solution to avoid spillage.
• The N-bromosuccinimide needs to be handled with care because it is highly irritating to eyes, skin, and mucous membrane.
3. Error :
• The intensity of the blue color at the end of titration seemed slightly different in each of the experiments.
4. Theories and concepts used :
• The mole and molarity concept was used in the calculation. The moles of N-bromosuccinimide was obtained from multiplying molarity and volume, whereas the mass of ascorbic acid was determined by converting moles to grams.
• Oxidation-Reduction

    The carrying capacity of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica Rapa) in a 2-liter bottle growing environment Introduction In this lab we conducted an experiment in which we created a habitat in which plants grown; We will determine if the plants will grow successfully in this habitat. We will plant “Wisconsin Fast Plant”seeds, also known as (Brassica Rapa). The Wisconsin Fast Plants are a small, fragile sized plant that has a short growing period and produces seeds at a high density. We will observe them as frequently as possible and record the heights each day we make observations.…

    Interactive Question 7.2 Cite some experimental evidence that indicates that membrane proteins drift. A good form of experimental evidence is Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching, aka FRAP. In the FRAP process, membrane proteins are labelled with a green fluorescent protein, and part of the plasma membrane is “bleached” with a laser, causing them to lose their fluorescence. The part that was bleached will eventually become fluorescent again, as molecules drift in by diffusion.…

    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.…

    Napoleon’s Buttons by Penny LeCouteur and Jay Burreson explores 17 molecules that have had an immense and reflective effect on history. One molecule explored in the novel is a molecule known as ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, played a key role primarily throughout the Age of Exploration. The first indication of vitamin C was detected through a condition known as scurvy.…

    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…

    My hypothesis was rejected. There hadn't been several chemical changes, as I predicted. There had only been chemical changes in color shown in the data table. In row B, there had been a light blue, cloudy color change. In row C, there had been a slight green color change, which should have had a chemical reaction, and remained a clear color.…

    6. If t-butyl bromide was used as a substrate instead of t-butyl chloride the reaction rate would stay the same. The mechanism will still be SN1 reaction for the same reasons as t-butyl chloride. Such as, t-butyl bromide is tertiary alkyl halide like t-butyl chloride which will also favors SN1 reaction when reacted with water, a weak nucleophile. It will also form 30 carbocation which are more stable in SN1 reaction mechanisms as having more R groups (CH3 in this experiment) on the carbon with the positive charge will donate some electrons through hyperconjugation, as carbocation are electron-deficient p-orbital which could be stabilized by hyperconjugation from adjacent substituents.…

    One important aspect of organic chemistry is the synthesis of new compounds. It is also important for chemists to understand how to perform certain techniques, such as extraction and distillation, to produce the new products, which are usually drugs and cures for illnesses. In this experiment, n-butyl bromide was produced. n-Butyl bromide is an alkyl halide, which are usually synthesized by an alcohol and an acid. In the case of n-butyl bromide, n-butyl alcohol was used along with sodium bromide and sulfuric acid.…

    Determining The Process of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Using Elodea and Yeast Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process to life on earth, in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to create food from oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is when energy in food is released and converted to ATP, which is then used as chemical energy to complete tasks within a cell. This process usually requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in some areas and different in others. The purpose of both of the process is to produce energy, but they have different ways of achieving this goal.…

    Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory was to synthesize isopentyl acetate, commonly known as banana oil, in a reaction of methanol and isopentyl alcohol catalyzed by sulfuric acid. Through this Fischer esterification reaction, it was possible to learn about using a Reflux condenser to run a reaction as well as purifying the product through various washes and extractions along with simple distillation. In addition, the product of the experiment was carefully analyzed based upon boiling point, physical characteristics, IR and 1H NMR. The overall objective was to successfully isolate the product of isopentyl acetate and observe the purity of this product.…

    Based on the experiment, it shows that the bromelain is started stable at 25% of enzyme concentration to 100% of enzyme concentration, pH 4 to 11, and the temperature range from 4oC to 37oC. For the concentration, it could happen because the presence of bromelain could break down the gelatin which makes the not solidified formation of the solution. In the temperature test, the lowest temperature makes the bromelain become optimum temperature which is regarded favorable for the digestive process, and on the pH level test was determine that bromelain were effectively worked in acidic, neutral, and alkalinity condition. But the bromelain was inactive when the concentration of the bromelain is fewer than the water, which will make the bromelain cannot effectively to hydrolyze the gelatin. Moreover, if we heated the bromelain in high temperature, it makes the bromelain denature which make the bromelain could not break down the protein.…
