Appendix B3 Lab Report

The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in

The purpose of this lab was to identify unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests, and my unknown bacteria is #17. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways, each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential tests used to identify the unknown cultures were Gram stain, Catalase, Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA), Blood Agar, Novobiocin, Coagulase, and DNAse (Alachi, 2007).

In the LULC/Soil/Slope tool box, the last option is slope tab. User has to select to number of slope classes for the watershed. Two options are available to define the slope discretization in the slope definition tool box. First one is single slope and second one is multiple slopes. If user select single slope in the tool box, it creates slope range class 0-999%, if user selects multiple slopes, the tool allows to create 5 classes. For the kaddam watershed five slope classes has been selected in the tool box. The classes are 1) 0-5% 2) 5-10% 3) 10-15% 4) 15-35% and 5) 35-9999%. The slope map of the kaddam shown in the

Measure the initial width, length, and thickness of the steel specimen using a Dial Caliper. Relieve pressure in Amatrol T9014 and adjust the height of the bottom platform to insert steel specimen. Insert one pin into the bottom platform to hold the steel specimen into the fixture. Slide two locking bars down the steel specimen. Adhere one locking bar to the bottom of the specimen and one at the top, lock them in place using the attached thumb screws. Insert the Linear Vernier Caliper in the top locking bar and zero out the caliper, allowing it to rest on the bottom locking bar. Compress the hydraulic cylinder until the indicator reads a force of zero. Lock the Linear Vernier Caliper in place by tightening the top thumb screw. [1] Compress

The experiments conducted for this lab report focused on water contamination and filtration. Experiment 1 was effects of groundwater contamination. Oil, vinegar, and laundry detergent were added to clean water with no means of filtration. The clean water was found to be contaminated. A filtration system consisting of cheesecloth and 60 ml of soil was created and the contaminated samples were filtered through it. The soil and cheese cloth did not affectively filter the contaminants. Experiment 2 focused on

The mean voltage of the battery terminals while connected to the identification resistors is presented in Figure ‎4 12. These samples have been pulled out from the voltage sensor of the PEB panel. The voltage decreased as expected from 12.53 to 12.5 during first 20 seconds of connection to the

Substance one was determined to be iron because it was magnetic, and the its melting point was 1535℃, its boiling point was 3000℃, and its density was 1870 g/L. Substance 2 was determined to be wood, because it was lightweight and grainy and a wooden color. It also floated, meaning it had a density less than water, like wood. Substance 3 was determined to be sand, because it was small rocks, which is sand, and had a melting point of 1610℃, a boiling point of 2230℃, and a density of 2650 g/L. Substance 4 was determined to be salt, because it was made of small, white grains, and conducted electricity. It had a melting point of 801℃, a boiling point of 1413℃, and a density of 2170 g/L. In this lab, physical interactions were used to determine

The hypothesis for this situation is that the plant that is not doing very well is that it is not getting the same amount of sun as the plant that was doing really well. Another possibility is that it’s not getting enough water as the other plant so it could not be doing as well because of those two

Although basic trends in your data can sometimes be estimated by simply looking at the data points on your scatter plots, quantitative measures of the effects you are studying can only be determined by fitting a curve to your data.

In the method of continuous variations the total number of moles of reactants is kept constant for the series of measurements. Each measurement is made with a different mole ratio of reactants. A mole ratio is ratio between the amounts in moles of any two compounds involved in a chemical reaction. Mole ratios are used as conversion factors between products and reactants in many chemistry problems.

Oxidation State: Oxidation state or oxidation number (O.N.) is the apparent charge assigned to an atom of an element in a molecule or in an ion. Valency: Valency is the combining capacity of an atom with other atoms. It depends upon the number of electrons in the outermost shell. Q. 9: Calculate the oxidation number of Nitrogen in HNO3.

When we write, “drill a 3/8” diameter, 1” depth hole in the center of the dowel”, the reality is a lot different. First, we need to find 3/8” tap size that is specifically designed for wood. Then, we need to find the center point of the dowel and figure out how to drill a hole perfectly centered. The process took us 2 hours in lab to figure out the most efficient and effective way to do such simple task. Because of time constrain, we decided to finish the system later in the day.

In this experiment, we were given three main goals to accomplish. We were to identify the compound through a series of organized experiments and analyze as many physical chemical properties as possible.

The location sampled was on campus in a forested area near Jordan River. The pH, moisture, and temperature of the soil was collected. As

Soil properties are shown in Table 2.1. These soils had a loamy texture with different contents of clay, sand and silt. pH values ranged from 4.45 to 7.73. TC was in the range of 1.6 to 8.37 % without significant amounts of TN and TS detected. TOC varied between 1.48 and 8.37% whilst DOC showed a wide range from 106 to 400 mg kg-1. CEC values ranged from 2.9 to 17.9 cmol kg-1. Concentrations of Fe oxide, Al oxide, and Mn oxide were 0.28-12.49 g kg-1, 0.5-12.6 g kg-1 and 0.0252-0.302 g kg-1, respectively. Total concentrations of As and Cd in control and spiked soil after one-year aging were listed in Table S1 (Appendix 2). The difference between the spiked concentrations and measured ones may be due to the particle size (spiked soils were sieved to < 250 μm particle size was used for all measurements.
