The point of the experiment was to test how accurate and precise five pieces of lab glassware--an erlenmeyer flask, a pipette, a buret, and a graduated cylinder, and a 50mL beaker-- were for measuring water volume (mL). The tools used to determine the precision and accuracy were an electric scale, the provided 5 pieces of glassware, an extra beaker, a calculator, and 10 mL of H2O or water (distilled) per trial. The way to test the accuracy of a tool was to find how close the experimental volume of water in the given glassware was to the given theoretical volume, 10mL. Volume can be calculated with the formula mass/density = volume with the knowledge that water has a theoretical density of 0.997 g/mL under the lab conditions provided. To find
In the first part of the experiment, Part A, the standard solutions were prepared. As a whole, the experiment was conducted by four people, however, for Part A, the group was split in two to prepare the two different solutions. Calibrations curves were created for the standard solutions of both Red 40 and Blue 1. Each solution was treated with a serial 2-fold dilution to gain different concentrations of each solution.
Shifa Sayeed can you check if this is all in past tense and if it has personal pronouns? The purpose of this experiment was to observe and thoroughly analyze how different substances of dissimilar intermolecular forces acted in different scenarios of evaporation, evaporative cooling, and boiling. In the lab, the three substances tested and compared were Acetone, Acetic Acid, and Propanol.
Unknown Lab Report Unknown # 25 By: Jenna Riordan March 19, 2018 Bio 2843 1. Introduction Microbiology is the study of microorganisms found in all different environments throughout Earth, from the hot thermal vents at the bottom of the ocean to the ice at the top of a mountain.
In the “Blast Off” lab, we had launched a foam rocket into the air by pumping air into a nozzle, shooting the rocket up, and then recording the time from launch to when it hit the ground. I have learned and now understand the mechanics of kinetic and potential energy. The experiment I had conducted relates to energy in that as we observed the rocket, its energy was constantly transforming as it was in motion. Kinetic energy is an object’s energy based on its motion. Potential energy is energy based on an object’s shape or position.
With following the procedure, the experiment was completed very easily. The technique used worked very well. The graduated cylinder were dried after each trial to ensure each water level was equal. The air bubble were risen to the top to ensure the equal amount was measured. Systematic errors can not be eliminated by averaging In principle, they can always be eliminated by changing the way in which the experiment was done.
On April 6, 2016 at approximately 11:45am, a local police station got a call about a hostage situation at a local pharmacy. When police and medical examiners got to each crime scene, they learned that all of the hostages were given drugs and had overdosed on them. Some of the pills, in powder form, were found near the victims. One of the victims was stable enough to tell the investigators that the power on the floor were the drugs they were forced to take. The medical examiner found out each hostage was given either unknown A or unknown B.
The gummy bear's mass and volume will increase while the density of the gummy bear would decrease after it is put into water overnight. (#)This lab experimented to figure out wah changes would take to the gummy bear’s mass, volume, and density after sitting in a cup of water overnight. To do this the gummy bear's dimensions and weight was taken on the first day, along with its density and then the gummy bear was placed and water. When the gummy bear was taken out of the water on day two, the dimensions, weight, and density were taken again, and the difference between the two days was found. (#1)
Monica A Smith Tuesday at 1 p.m. Microbiology Lab Fall 2015 Page Break Introduction: In knowing why it is important to understand how to identify an organism it is best explained by helping the person preforming the test identify the patients treatment options and plan. Also helps in understanding the organism in detail and how it can be identified in the future versus similar organisms. Materials and Methods: Two unknowns where received by the instructor unknown K and C. using the methods learn in lab for identifying them.
The final mass could be far off due to the water and chunks of expanded gummy bears found in the beaker, leading to an inaccurate result. As well, for the sugar solution, the result could have been different if a more accurate measurement of the sugar needed was made. For the specific result, the hypothesis stated, the sugar solution needed to have an equal amount of sugar content to the gummy bear which did not occur. Ensuring that the beaker contained 10 grams of sugar was off, due to prerequisite calculations that lead to too much liquid in the beaker that needed to be removed. To be correct, the hypotheses that were wrong could
It was impossible to accurately measure the volume of liquid at any given moment, as the meniscus was moving side to side. Secondly, the distillation was ended while there was still liquid in to round bottom flask. The composition and volume of this liquid were unaccounted for in the calculated
Materials 1 calibrated thermometer, 1 scale that reads mass, 2 Styrofoam cups, 1 small lead sinker, boiling water in a beaker, 1 pair of kitchen tongs, 1 small cooking pot, stove top, distilled water, and 1 pair of safety goggles (I did not use a cork stopper). III. Procedure First, the beaker
INTRODUCTION: Good Laboratory Practice is a quality standard where there is an implementation of designed laboratory studies and this is reported to ensure the result is uniform, consistent, reliable and also reproducible with quality and integration of chemical nonclinical tests of safety. There are proper procedures and protocols in GLP which are to be implemented by the laboratory GLP includes following: 1. Good laboratory management (including quality management) 2. Improved efficiency (cost reduction) 3.
In an interview with E. Poimenidou, professor of Mathematics, he described a good mathematical writing as precise, not overly verbose, and have a kind of flowing logic to them. A New College graduate student (2013) in chemistry/biology said that a well-written lab report should be factual, to the point, and evidenced based. A good lab report, according to a chemistry TA at NCF, has a “flow” of ideas that makes it stand out from other reports.
Introduction The term chromatography actually means colour writing, and signifies a technique by which the substance to be examined is placed in a vertical glass tube containing an adsorbent, the different segments of the substance traveling through the adsorbent at distinctive rates of velocity, according to their degree of attraction to it, and producing bands of colour at different levels of the adsorption column. The substances least absorbed emerge earliest; those more strongly absorbed emerge later. (Wixom et al., 2011) In chromatography of all types, there is a mobile phase and a stationary phase.
Biochemical tests are the tests used for the identification of bacterial species based on the differences in the biochemical activities of different bacteria. Bacterial physiology differs from one species to the other. These differences in carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism, fat metabolism, production of certain enzymes and ability to utilize a particular compound help them to be identified by the biochemical tests. Gram’s stain was originally devised by histologist Hans Christian Gram in 1884. Gram-positive bacteria stain purple, while Gram-negative bacteria stain pink when subjected to Gram staining.
