Preparing Dilutions of the Silver Nanoparticles 1. Gather all materials. 2. Put on a pair of disposable gloves. 3. Make a paper towel damp with some 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Wipe down the work surface with the rubbing alcohol-dampened paper towel. 4. Using a permanent marker, label the five baby food jars #1 to #5. 5. Using the 25 milliliter (mL) graduated cylinder, measure and pour 22.5 mL of distilled water (from a new, unopened container) into each of jars #2, #3, #4, and #5. 6. Using…

Phosphate can be harmful when excessive amount is present in the drinking water system. The U.S. Public Health Service has set the maximum value of phosphate in drinking water at 3.0 mg/L. In this experiment, several samples were diluted and its concentration were analyzed through a spectrophotometer. The results obtained (0.1 mg/L and 2.28mg/L) are within the U.S. Public Health Service’s standards and are deemed to be safe. Introduction It is important that drinking water is monitored regularly…

Several accusations were made that manufacturers were incorrectly labeling the iron content on their products. The purpose of this experiment was to analyze the amount of iron in approximately one serving of Total Whole Grain cereal and in one iron tablet and determine if these accusations were true. The values collected would then be compared to the actual values for these products. Total cereal contains 100% of the recommended daily allowance for iron, and the iron tablet contains 361% of the…

The goal of this experiment was to reduce Camphor into Borneol and Isoborneol using Sodium Borohydride. In this reaction, Isoborneol was the major product while Borneol was the minor product. This is a reduction reaction, where the ketone on the Camphor is reduced to form two products with secondary alcohols. First, 0.25 grams of Camphor was obtained and added to a 50ml flask and mixed with 1.5 ml of methanol. Second, 0.25 grams of Sodium Borohydride was added to the reaction mixture and…

Although Peltier was found guilty for the death of the two agents, the argument of the documentary is compelling because the evidence proving Peltier guilty was either fabricated or tampered with by the FBI which gave the trial an unfair, biased outcome. The documentary does a good job raising questions about the FBI’s prosecution of Peltier and what had happened on the day of June 26th, 1975. On this day, two FBI agents by the names of Jack Coler and Ron Williams were said to be following…

Determination of Most Advantageous Sequestering Agent By: Kayla Jeeter and Ashley Driscoll Chemistry 112-508 Abstract The creation and execution of this project served to determine what material is a better sequestering agent of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are found in Texas’ water. Charcoal is currently the most typical agent used to sequester PAHs. In this experiment, two different Bentonite clays (zeolites) were synthesized, one magnetized and one not, to determine if…

INTRODUCTION: What is DNA? DNA is a deoxyribonucleic acid, which is a self-replicating material that is present in just about all living organisms as the top chromosomes. DNA Isolation is the development of purification of DNA from a sampling applying a mixture of physical and chemical methods. Isolation is a routine process in molecular biology or in molecular analyses. Materials: • Electrophoresis chamber • Gel casting trays • Sample combs • Ethidium bromide • Loading buffer •…

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to illustrate how to determine the density of a liquid and regulate volumetric glassware properly. To determine the mass of liquids using a scale, the density of water and (unknown) liquid D were weighed, inside of a volumetric flask. Once the mass was determined in grams, the density was easy to determine, by using the density equation. The second portion of this experiment was to calibrate a 10mL pipette. Once the density was determined for this…

A graduated cylinder was used to measure 200mL of distilled water into an Erlenmeyer flask and then 40mL of 0.6 M NaOH was added to the distilled water in the flask. The flask was then plugged with a rubber stopper and shook in order to mix the solution. A buret was then washed, rinsed with distilled water, and then 5 mL of the NaOH diluted solution. After the cleansing of the buret, it was then filled up with the NaOH diluted solution. The dilution of the solution was calculated to find the…

Before beginning he experiment the physical appearance of all the chemicals being used needs to be written down. To begin the experiment 3 test tubes must be acquired; a boiling tube, large test tube and a small test tube. The large test tube must be completely dried with a paper towel and labeled R for Reactants. After that is done a piece of weighing paper should be placed on a balance and tared. After make sure the balance is correctly tared, a spatula must be used to collect 2 grams of…
