    types of glassware are the most accurate and precise in measuring substances. Another goal of this experiment was to help familiarize ourselves with the different types of glassware, and how we should handle the laboratory equipment. The accuracy and precision of a particular type of glassware is important because it allows for accurate measurements when performing different experiments. It also allows us to differentiate between glassware that is better for containing substances versus glassware that

  • The Titration Of Oxalate

    1107 Words  | 3 Pages

    Introduction Coordination complexes are metals that can accept electron pairs to form coordinate bonds without affecting the charge of the metal. The species that donates its paired electrons is called a ligand. Counterions are not part of the compound but balance the charge of the coordination sphere, the metal and ligands. These compounds are known for their very bold colors and their ability to enhance solubility. In this lab a coordination compound will be formed from Equation 1. (Equation 1)

  • The Formula of Succinic Acid

    2212 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Formula of Succinic Acid Succinic acid is a diprotic, which means it donates two protons per molecule. Succinic acid can be completely neutralised by sodium hydroxide. The indicator most suitable for this experiment is phenolphthalein, it is colourless in acids and pink in alkalises. The half way stage is about pH 9.3, this is when it will either change from colourless to a very pale pink or from pink to colourless. To determine the relative formula mass of succinic acid I am going to

    Our hypothesis is that we believe, the test tube that has potato extract alone in it will have the darkest brown color, thus it will have the highest absorbency. The reason we believe this hypothesis is true is because, darker the color of the mixture, more light will be absorbed and also because it did not receive any pH which can make the mixture lose it’s ability the catalyze reaction. This experiment is designed to investigate and compare, how the enzyme catecholase from potato extract reacts

  • 2-Methylcyclohexanol Synthesis Lab Report

    566 Words  | 2 Pages

    Introduction During this week’s lab, both the cis and trans enantiomers of 2-methylcyclohexanol will be produced through the reduction of 2-methyclcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride. Once the product is formed, NMR signals are used to examine the product of this reduction by observing the cis and trans location of the CH2OH group. The integration of the signal will then be examined and to show the ratio of cis and trans product that is formed through this reaction. Experimental Procedure

    With the addition of Natron as a herbicide to control weeds, there are concerns that the runoff could affect the growth of other plant life. The purpose of this lab is to test the toxicity of Natron as well as the max dosage that will still allow for beans to grow in the presence of the herbicide; We hope to find out the LD50, the toxicity in comparison to Anubis, as well as the germination rate of exposed the beans. We hypothesized that increased concentration of Natron would lead to a decrease

    Extraction is a separation method that is often used in the laboratory to separate one or more components from a mixture. Sucrose was separated at the beginning because it is the most immiscible and it’s strongly insoluble. Next Acetylsalicylic Acid was separated which left Acetanilide alone. Variety steps could have
