To change solid agar into liquid, get 4 Petri dishes out and ready for use. Next, agar needs to be a boil, either on heating pot or stove, not in a microwave. Agar bottle needs to be placed inside the pot, with water in it to be a boil. Water level needs to be right under the label on the agar bottle, with the cover losing, or it will explode.
Agar needs to be boil for about 30 to 45 minutes, until agar liquefied. Then pour agar inside the petri dish, about half full. Make sure agar is fully liquefied, or it will have bubble spots in agar.
Make sure all four Petri dishes are half full. Seat agar plates out for room temperature for about one to two hours, end then place them in the refrigerator.
Agar plates should ready and use in about a week

    In order to do the streaking method, an inoculating loop was sterilized with the Bunsen burner, and put into the unknown specimen then placed onto the TSA. After the plate was streaked it was then incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 48 hours. The second step was observing the agar after incubation and identifying two different bacteria from the TSA. The third step after observation; was taking out the two bacteria with a sterilized loop and streaking it onto two Mueller Hinton plates. This allowed the separate colonies to grow further for testing.…

    The Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate Dissolving in Water Introduction: This experiment focuses on thermodynamics or the study of heat and molecular randomness. It helps illustrate how and why potassium nitrate (KNO3) dissolves in water. When it dissolves, it dissociates into potassium (K+) and nitrate (NO3-) ions. These ions can also recombine into solid potassium nitrate. This reaction can reach a state where concentrations of ions remain constant or Ksp; which stands for the equilibrium concentration for the solubility product.…

    PURPOSE/QUESTION The question that we will answer using this laboratory report is, “How is the rate of dissolving sugar affected by changing the temperature of the water, changing the rate of stirring, and changing the size of the crystal?” The independent variable of each laboratory experiment is different, however they are all being changed to get consistent and effective results for one dependent variable. The three independent variables are the temperature of water, rate of stirring and size of the crystal and the dependent variable of the all the experiments is the rate of sugar dissolving. HYPOTHESES Below are the laboratory experiment hypotheses that we have formed as a group to figure out what will happen to the rate of dissolving under…
