The purpose of these calculations is to identify the limiting reagent and calculate the percent yield of the esterification reaction used to produce aspirin. This reaction was catalyzed by concentrated H2SO4, but since it is not consumed during the reaction, it does not affect the stoichiometric calculations. In order to determine the limiting reagent, the moles of reactants were calculated (Part A). Part B of the calculations illustrates the amount of aspirin produced by each reactant based on…

Methods: To begin, our group acquired three premade vials of .1ml mammal blood with coagulant. We then labeled the vials numbers one, two, and three. In vial number one we added 1 ml of Stock 300 mM NaCl, and no distilled water. This resulted in a NaCl concentration of 1.8 percent. In the second vial we added .5 ml of Stock 300 mM of NaCl, and .5 ml of distilled water. This resulted in a NaCl concentration of .9 percent. In the third vial we did not add any Stock 300 mM of NaCl, and 1 ml…

A range of concentrations (1nM to 30μM) of acetylcholine (Ach) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was administered to organ bath containing rat ileum. Ach and 5-HT induced contractions from 3nM (Fig. 1) and 10nM (Fig. 2) onwards respectively, both generating a shallow slope at the beginning of the concentration-response curve. EC50 of Ach is 7.47 x 10-7M whereas EC50 of 5-HT is 7.97 x 10-7M. The contraction generated by Ach and 5-HT was expressed in % Emax. As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, % Emax…

Malachite Green Assay: The reaction that AGPase catalyzes produces PPi. The resulting PPi that is produced is hydrolyzed by an inorganic pyrophosphatase (Sigma Aldrich) to generate phosphate (Pi). Each reaction for the assay was conducted on a 96 well plate and the reaction mixture was 50µL and contained Pre-Mix which contained 50mM HEPPS, pH=8.0 (MP Biomedicals), 10mM MgCl2, 1.5mM FBP (Sigma Aldrich), and 0.2mg/mL Bovine Serum Albumin (Sigma Aldrich), and 1.5mU/µL yeast inorganic…

The above Time Vs. Temperature graph displays the results of an experiment measuring the time taken for a sodium thiosulphate solution, at a certain temperature, to react with Hydrochloric acid. The descending curve in the above graphs suggests that the higher the temperature of the sodium thiosulfate solution the faster the reaction, causing the cluster of data later on in the graph. This is due to the high temperatures causing the increase in the particles average kinetic energy, the more…

At 20 seconds, pH = 7.35 2. At 40 seconds, pH = 7.29 3. At 60 seconds, pH = 7.24 4. Did the pH level of the blood change at all during this run? If so, how? Yes, the pH level of the blood decreased. 5. Was the pH level always within the “normal” range for the human body? If not, when was the pH value outside of the normal range, and what acid/base imbalance did this pH value indicate? No, acidosis occurred at 40 seconds when the pH dropped out of “normal” range to…

Salts and molecules have different properties because salts are ionic compounds and molecules are covalent compounds. Justification: Salt is an ionic compound. An ionic compound is formed by ionic bonding between ions of opposite charge. Sodium Chloride and Potassium Bromide are both salts that have an ionic compound. Both elements have the properties of salts which include soluble in water, conductive, and a relatively high melting point. Molecules and Sugar molecules are covalent compounds…

The developed method consisting the mobile phase 3g of Docusate Sodium was dissolved in 580 ml of Methanol, sonicated to dissolve to this 420 mL of milli Q water was added and pH was adjusted at 3.0 with perchloric acid with isocratic programming, XTerra RP 18 column (250mm×4.6mm, 5μm) column as stationary phase with…

Experiment 1: Standardisation of approximately 0.25 M Hydrochloric Acid Abstract The aim of the study was to standardise a solution of hydrochloric acid with an approximate concentration of 2.5 M against sodium carbonate solution. The main steps of this experiment were preparing the sodium carbonate solution, transferring the solution into a conical flask by using a pipette, adding the bromophenol blue indicator and titrating with hydrochloric acid until the first green colour appeared. The…

Student number: s3333523 Email-address: lidiapalha@gmail.com Name of demonstrator: H.Helbert Reaction Equation Summary Salicylamide and sodium iodide are dissolved in ethanol, and stirred and cooled to 0. After that household bleach was added while stirring vigorously, solution changed from colorless to pale yellow. Sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid were added aswell. Product collected by vacuum filtration and recrystallized from 96% ethanol. IR- and H-…
