Cabernet Sauvignon is a black colored grape from Bordeaux in France. Bordeaux is an incredible wine region with diverse sets of grapes. People from Spain call this sensation a Burdeos Tintos, which is very interesting. The grapes come in clusters, the black grapes produced are tiny and round, the leaves are dark to light green with lobes and the shoot tips are colored red. Today, the wine is favored in many countries all over the world and some distinguish it by Vitis vinifera. Cabernet…

variable which is the temperature changes that reaction rate of the magnesium and hydrochloric acid (HCI). Hypothesis: - As the concentration increases, the rate of reaction increases as well. Variables: - The independent variable is the volume of hydrochloric acid - The dependent variable is variable is the volume of the hydrochloric acid and the duration of reaction. - The controlled variables are length of the strip of magnesium metal, Temperature of reactants, Volume of hydrochloric acid…

the ions is also a protective mechanism that ensures a safe environment for the cell to perform its functions. Therefore, the various characteristics of magnesium and potassium provide mechanisms of communication and protective regulatory function within the cell that are necessary for healthy cellular function. Without adequate levels of magnesium and potassium, cellular functions are disabled causing diseases, even…

We needed a triple beam scale, two test tubes, a beaker, about 4 grams of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), about 4 grams of copper sulfate (CuSO4) and a burner. First, we measured the mass of the beaker and the test tube on the triple beam scale. We then filled one test tube with some copper sulfate. We placed it into the beaker on the…

Alkaline phosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis and transphosphorylation of phosphomonoesters (1). A kinetic reaction scheme of AP is presented in Figure 2. Figure 2: Kinetic reaction scheme of alkaline phosphatase (11). Under the hydrolysis reaction, free phosphate and an alcohol molecule are released from the active site. The rate-determining step of this reaction is pH dependent. Transphosphorylation has similar initiate steps as hydrolysis. However, phosphate cannot exit the active site,…

Constructing and balancing chemical reactions from words are essential skills in chemistry. Before we proceed with the lesson, let us remember that when we refer to single elements such as carbon, magnesium, we can easily refer to the periodic table and write down their symbols. Carbon is C, potassium is K and Magnesium is Mg in chemical reactions. There are, however, seven elements that exist as __‘’diatomic molecules’’__, which are molecules that are composed of two atoms of the same…

paraffin wax melting are examples of physical change. While magnesium strip heated, sodium hydroxide and copper chloride mixed and hydrochloric acid added to sodium bicarbonate are chemical change. For task 1, we measure 100ml of water, weigh 5g of table salt and mix the 5g of salt and 100ml of water. Stir until change is seen. Finally, observe and collect data. For task 2, we measure a 2cm strip of magnesium and place 2cm strip of magnesium in a heated crucible. Finally, observe and collect…

high in fiber. Fiber lowers the cholesterol level in your body thus preventing bodily issues. Proven to be an excellent source of thiamine and magnesium, it also has protein (Szalay, J 2015). Thiamine, also referred to as Vitamin B1, converts carbohydrates into glucose. Called the “anti-stress” vitamin, it assists the immune system (Vitamin B1 n.d). Magnesium unlike manganese, is important for keeping blood pressure levels in check. Brown rice contains protein which makes it great for one’s…

Marygrace is actually quite long when I think about it. The most obvious but least used nickname being Mg, while other names such as Mig and Mur are what dominate people’s minds when they speak to me. Other nicknames have come and gone such Pigeon and Magnesium. However, overall each nickname I have gone or go by represents an important part of my life. Mig is typically not a common name or even a common nickname. The only person who comes to mind when I think of Mig is Midge from That 70’s…

Using your tongs, hold a small piece of magnesium in the flame. Do not look directly into the flame during this reaction. (1a) Pb (NO3)2 is a colorless solution. K2CrO4 is a yellow colored solution. Both solutions seemed to be odorless. When the K2CrO4 was added to the test tube that had the Pb…
