A strip of magnesium (Mg) ribbon was cut with a scissor. Said piece had a length of 6 cm, and a weight of 0.071 g. The magnesium piece was rolled into a compact ribbon. After that, with copper turnings the mg piece was covered. Next, 700-mL of water was placed into a 1000-mL beaker. Then, the copper-wrapped magnesium was placed in the beaker. A 100-mL graduated cylinder was filled completely with water. After, said cylinder was covered with a small piece of paper towel over the entire rim, and…

During the laboratory section two devices were used; these were the DE2-115 board and a computer, containing the software system Quartus II. Each of these devices were very significant for gathering information during the duration of the lab and shall be explained further. The DE2-115 board was the device provided in the lab that displayed the output for viewing by the student. The portions of the DE2-115 board that were used during the duration of the lab were the switches, the LEDs, and the…

1. Items needed for this experiment are: three nutrient broth tubes, graduated pipet, alcohol, disposable cups, E. coli, S. epidermidis vials, yeast packet, candle, lighter, permanent marker, paper towels, bleach, safety gloves, goggles, face mask and apron. 2. Before beginning the experiment, wash hands with soap and warm water, then put on apron, safety goggles, face mask and gloves. 3. Disinfect the work area with bleach and paper towels. Then pour some bleach in a bucket for anything that…

I strive to enhance the quality of human life. The human race is plagued with disease, disorders and societal plights that treatment with traditional medicine would cease to assuage the recurrent issues. For example, diabetes is currently one of the top health challenges in the United States. The influx of diabetic patients will not decrease with insulin treatment alone, one must alter their injurious diet. Physicians are expected to treat patients based on symptoms. The analysis is then capped…

Original Hypothesis: Prior to performing any measurements or calculations in the lab, it was originally hypothesized that the 10 mL volumetric pipette would be the most precise and most accurate instrument, while the 10mL graduated cylinder would be the least precise and least accurate instrument. Sample Calculation: For the 10 mL volumetric pipette, three weight of water measurements were taken by first weighing a beaker on the scale, measuring 10 mL of water with a volumetric pipette,…

Experimental: Materials – double salt (self-made & EIU Chemistry Stockroom), 6 M HCl (EIU Chemistry Stockroom), 10% BaCl2, 6 M HNO3 (EIU Chemistry Stockroom) Equipment – Ocean Optics Spectrometer USB4000, Logger Pro Procedure – In order to find the mass percent of the sulfate, the sulfate needed to separate itself from the rest of the double salt. To do this, experimenters began by weighing out 0.998 g of the double salt into a 250-mL beaker. They then used the graduated cylinder to add about…

When Jim speaks of the “real, real” truth, this suggests the acknowledgement of his prior inability to face the moral conscious effects of the Patna affair, while the “real” truth suggests his seemingly moral redemption in Patusan. Prior to his time on the Patna, Jim was aboard a training ship fantasizing about saving passengers from sinking ships and other heroic feats, when a group of fellow seamen notified him of a nearby conflict. Jim stood to see the seamen rushing up ladders to the deck,…

Sterile Saline (0.9% w/v NaCl) Dissolve 9.0gm of NaCl in 1000ml water and dispense 9.0ml of the solution into 20ml test tubes. Autoclave the tubes as per the validated cycle and cool to room temperature. Sterile saline with polysorbate 80: Dissolve 9.0gm of NaCl in 1000ml water and add .5gm of tween 80 to the resulting saline solution, dispense 9.0 ml of the solution into a number of 20ml test tubes. Autoclave the tubes Preparation of Inoculums and its Standardization: 1) Take loop full of…

In this lab, we did four kind of different test, to mimic the chemistry of digestion. The first one was to test for sugar. We used a dropper and measured 2 ml of maltose and 2 ml of benedict’s solution in a pyrex test tube. After, using a test tube holder, we placed the test tube in a boiling water bath and heated for 5 min. After the 5 min, using a test tube holder we removed the test tube from the water bath. We then repeated the same procedure using starch solution instead of maltose. When we…

Reflection Paper Being completely undecided in my career path, and since I have taken all of the available chemistry classes, when the opportunity to job shadow a water operator at the Emlenton Water Treatment Plant arose, I took advantage of it. Even with my knowledge in chemistry, I went into the experience knowing only that they use chemicals, such as chlorine, to treat the water from the river. I came out of the experience with a more selective career path and a much greater knowledge and…
