Bromophenol Blue Experiment

And finally into test tube 3, I pipetted 1.0 ml turnip extract and 4.0 ml of water. The contents of test tube 1 was poured into a spectrometer tube and labeled it “B” for blank. “B” tube was now inserted it into the spectrometer. An adjustment to the control knob was made to zero the absorbance reading on the spectrometer since one cannot continue the experiment if the spectrometer is not zeroed. A combination of two people and a stop watch was now needed to not only record the time of the reaction, but to mix the reagents in a precise and accurate manner. As my partner recorded the time, I quickly poured tube 3 into tube 2. I then poured tube 2 into the experiment spectrometer tube labeled “E” and inserted it into the spectrometer. A partner then recorded the absorbance reading for every 20 seconds for a total of 120 seconds. After the experiment, a brown color in the tube should be observed to indicate the reaction was carried out. Using sterile techniques, any excess liquid left was disposed

The concentrations and absorbances of the red and blue dyes were used to find the concentration of the purple dyes. From the graph of the blue dye, the linear equation for absorbance was y = mx + b. From that formula came the equation y = 7.915 x 104 (x) + 0.02489, where y represents absorbance, m is slope, x is concentration/molarity, and b is the constant/y-intercept. The same set up was performed for the red dye, but the equation produced was y = 1.045 x 104 (x) +.001298. The equations found when graphing absorbance vs. concentration were used to find the concentration of the purple dyes. The absorbance for purple dye 3 on the red wavelength of 470 nm equaled 0.149 and 0.818 for the blue wavelength of 635 nm. For purple dye 1

From this graph and chart we can see that the higher the concentration the higher the absorbance, all the different concentrations were tested at the same wavelength (625nm). Also we can determine our unknown substances concentration by using the absorbance we got for it. The red dot on the graph followed by the line towards the horizontal axis indicates that the concentration of fast green was 34% or 5.1x10-3.

The same solution of 0.5 ml BSA was then added from test tube 1 to the test tube 2 after being properly mixed, and from test tube 2 the solution was being added to test tube 3, and so forth all the way up to test tube 5, with the same exact procedure. From the last tube, we then disposed the 0.5 ml solution. After above procedures, we now labeled another test tube “blank”; 0.5 ml blank distilled water was purred into the tube with the serial dilution of 1:10. We also had a tube C labeled “unknown” with the same 0.5 ml of solution. And after adding 5ml of Coomassie Blue to each tube (1-5) and to the blank, the result of absorbance was read at 595 nm.

For this experiment, the amounts of Red 40 and Blue 1 were quantified in six different Kool-Aid samples through the use of a spectrophotometer. This was completing by performing serial dilutions on both dyes, Red 40 and Blue 1, and then creating calibration curves for each of the six samples. The absorbance and maximum wavelength values were obtained from the spectrophotometer for each individual drink sample. Beer’s Law was used to discover the concentration of

The isosbestic point of the acid (pH6) and basic forms (pH10) of para Nitrophenol (PNP) was expected at 350nm. As you can see in figure 2, the graph shows the intersection of 2 curves at ~350nm, which is matched with the literature value. Also, the pKa of PNP was expected 7.15 at room temperature. Refer to figure 3, the pKa is estimated to be 7.15-7.2, which very close to the literature value. In addition, the lab was succeeded in illustrating the use of a spectrophotometry to analyze concentrations of chemical substance. The absorbances of 2 unknowns were felt on the standard curve as the expectation (refer to table 4). The minimum absorbance of the known standards was 0.193 and the maximum is 1.830. The absorbance of the unknown

The Beers Law calibration experiment used many concentrations of crystal violet solutions. Each of these solutions were test and analyzed in order to determine the absorbance of each concentration The results were than graphed and produced a slope of 1.00E05 with an intercept of -2.21E-02.

Each stock solution was placed in a colorimeter and was tested for it Absorbance. A computer program tested and drew up the Calibration curve/linear fit equation. However, the computer could not protect potential errors. An error for determining the concentration of the diluted and undiluted, could be a skew linear fit equation. The linear fit equation could be skewed by having an inadequate ratio of the stock solution and distilled water. For example, when making stock solution 1, 0.021(L) was used instead of 0.020(L) can throw the calibration curve, resulting a skewed linear fit equation. If the “blank” was not fully clean or had left over Allura Red residue, then the “blank” was tampered with. A tampered “blank” means any comparisons with it would have a wrong Absorbance reading. However, the most likely and most effective error, is calculation. Using the wrong V1 and V2 to determine the concentration of the undiluted would affect the answer of the grams Allura Red would be consume and the amount of molecules of Allura Red. The colorimeter is adjusted to a wavelength of 470 nm is maximize the absorbance of the Allura Red. If wavelength was place at 565 nm, then Allura Red would not absorb as much color of

BTB or Bromothymol blue, is a liquid is mixed with oxygen If BTB is yellow, there is no oxygen in the matter. Yellow is less acidic and Blue is basic. The colors in the process are blue, then green, and finally yellow. The whole purpose of this BTB experiment was to find out if the water plants give out in the light. Would they also give oxygen in the dark? And or if the matter does not matter if the plant is in the dark or in the light. The guiding questions was, do they give light off? Do they use it? Could they possibly do both? Does it matter whether they are in the light or in the dark? My predictions were that the plants would give oxygen when there is blue BTB in the sun. If yellow BTB, no change in color. If there was no sunlight for the plants, the liquid

The absorbance is measured using a Plate reader and a Standard curve is generated. Also, the different types of pipetting techniques are assessed in this Assay.

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the pKa of the bromothymol blue (indicator) through absorption spectroscopy. Bromothymol blue being a monoprotic acid base indicator, displays different colors at different pH because of the differences in the ratio of the conjugated acid and base form. The fraction of conjugate acid and base was interpolated for the solutions through the acquired absorbance spectrum of the bromothymol blue at various pH. The rearranged form of Henderson Hasselbalch equation was graphed as a function of pH to determine the pKa of the indicator.

Incorporation of assay controls included setting up a spectrophotomer and running the chart recorder with a full-scale deflection before the start of the assay. The set recorder had a corresponding value of 1 for the change in the absorbance. Therefore, prior testing was done to observe whether a change occurred in the readings. This helped to indicate that the results were valid, as they could have been affected by a fault during the setting up of the spectrophotometer. On the other hand this was considered as one of the controls for the experiment. Nevertheless, a new cuvette had to be used for each assay.

A total two strains of blue mold and four strains of black mold were isolated from the rotten vegetables. In this study, the extracellular enzymes screening tests were performed for all six strains of fungi and plumbum biosorption of all four black mold biomass was performed. The fungus with the highest plumbum removal efficiency was used for kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic study.

The purposes of Loading the dye will serve into two of which delivers the density of the samples triggering into the sink in order the wells to submerged the gel. moreover, it has dye on it so that the distance so sample have been run to umpired. Because the dye would not label the DNA in the sample it only provided the dimension to estimated how far the sample was run to the gel, and for the Bromophenol blue has negative charge. It allows you that to visually see the crusade of DNA.
