Folic acid

When hydrochloric acid was added to the unknown and known solutions, both resulted in no reaction. This also occurred when potassium hydroxide was added to both of the solutions. Barium chloride was then added to the two solutions, which resulted in a cloudy white precipitate…

To find a stoichiometric point using a functional graphical method. • To discern the molar concentration of a specific weak acid solution. • To compute the molar mass of a specific weak acid utilized within the experiment. • To calculate the pKa of a weak concentrated acid within the experiment. Procedure 1. Molar Concentration of a Weak Acid Solution • Obtain an unknown acid solution (90 mL) and three 250 mL beakers. Make sure the beakers are clean. • Acquire 0.1 M of NaOH solution for this…

Purpose To determine the specific types of pigments found in a rose leaf and rose petal by using isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) in paper chromatography. Scientific Explanation When leaves are mixed with isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) the alcohol draws out the leaf pigments and chemically change to a solvent. When the solvent is painted on the paper towel nothing happens but when a bit of alcohol is added it easily climbs up the paper towel. This happens because the alcohol molecules are “sticky” and…

As a result, lactose is a competitive inhibitor. In the presence of the inhibitor, the slope of the Lineweaver-Burk plot becomes the equation below. Using equation 7 along with the Km and the Vmax from series A, the Ki of Series B and C were calculated. The concentration of inhibitor for 50mM lactose was found to be 35714 μM using equation 1. Similar to the substrate concentration, the inhibitor concentration can be found using the same equation, but substituting in the inhibitor molar…

Conclusion Throughout all the test tubes that were observed, it is simple to classify samples as mixtures, compounds, or elements by viewing the particles that make it up on a picture representation. It is not as uncomplicated as observing the physical substance. Test Tube A consisted of small black and white specks that could phyically be seperated when holding a magnet to the mixture. Because this is possible, it is a heterogenous mixture also because the seperation can easily be seen.…

The little instruction leaflet included in the pack, isn't particularly comprehensive, but still it was fairly easy to work out what I needed to do and before I could start I did need to do a little preparation. The instructions did state that I would be needed cold water but didn't say whether that water needed to have been boiled first or left to stand so that any chlorine could dissipate. As I do usually boil the water that I am going to use in a home brew and further along in the…

My topic of interest is the science behind slime. I have researched and found ideas that relate to topics we have learned so far in the first marking period in science. Slime is made up of elements that are mixed together. The "slime" formula is sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na2B4O7•10H2O), commonly known as borax, to a solution of white glue and water. White glue is an example of a polymer--it is made of long chains of polyvinyl clear plastic film molecules. These chains slide past one…

line with a pencil. Three spot were labeled A, B, and C. A sample of each standard was spotted on the analytical TLC plate approximately 1cm from the bottom of the plate. It was then enclosed in a jar filled with 2ml of 95% ethyl acetate- 5% acetic acid. (Another laboratory group conducted the same procedure but using 1:1 Hexanes: Ethyl Acetate as the developing solvent). After the TLC plate was developed until the solvent reached 1cm at its top; the plates were analyzed using UV light and the…

After you have a chimney cleaner come out and clean away all the grime that build up in your chimney over the past year, you are also going to want to clean your fireplace as well. By cleaning your fireplace right after you have your chimney cleaned, your fireplace will be ready for next fall before summer even starts. Here is what you need to do in order to effectively clean your stone fireplace. Put On Protective Wear The first thing you are going to want to do is put on protective eye wear,…

Experiment 15.2 Purpose: To show temperature effects on reactions and Le Chatelier’s principle. Materials: 2 test tubes, 2 eyedroppers, 2 beakers, 2 small cups, Clear ammonia solution, White Vinegar, Flame or stove, Pot, Water, Ice, a few leaves of red cabbage, and safety goggles. Question: How does equilibrium work with respect to temperature and concentration? Hypothesis: Depending on whether the reaction is endo-thermic or exothermic the equilibrium will shift to one side, this is also true…
