Standardizing the approximately 0.01M EDTA requires one to pipet 50-mL portions of the Standard (CaCl2) calcium chloride solution to three 250 milliliter volumetric flasks. Afterwards append five droplets of Eriochrome Black T indicator solution, 5-mL of NH3-NH4Cl buffer solution followed by five droplets of magnesium-EDTA convoluted solution. This should then be accompanied by a titration with just about 0.01 molar of the EDTA solution. After doing so, calculate the molarity for EDTA from the data obtained for each titration. Work out the average of these values.
Obtain a sample bottle of approximately 500-mL deionized water and pipet three portions of ...

Introduction

In this experiment, we are interested to determine the heat change of two different reactions using the ice calorimeter. The heat change values are applied together with the given values of the heat transformation of water (∆H(H2O)) and the application of hess law to establish the heat of formation of MgO (∆H(MgO))
A formation reaction has a defined stoichiometry which makes them ideal constructs to be investigated by the Bunsen ice calorimeter. When the heat is released by the reaction, it causes the ice to melt and the volume of the ice-water mixture to contract. From the ...

Lab Report

Abstract:
In this lab, we practiced making combinational circuits using the given resistors. We also learnt how to use a potentiometer in a simple circuit. For the combination of resistors, the voltage drops across individual resistors, along with the currents were measured. The current values were compared with the current values predicted by Ohm’s law, which states that V=IR, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the value of resistance.
In the first part of the lab, a potentiometer was connected in series with a 100Ω resistor and a LED, connected to a 10V source. Initially, the ...

A basic kinetic study of a chemical reaction often involves conducting the reaction at varying concentrations of reactants. In this way, you can determine the order of the reaction in each species, and determine a rate law expression. Once you select a reaction to examine, you must decide how to follow the reaction by measuring some parameter that changes regularly as time passes, such as temperature, pH, pressure, conductance, or absorbance of light. In this experiment we will use color change to derive the initial rates of the reaction. Before coming to lab you should read in your text the section on ...

Introduction

During the Solubility Product experiment you calculated the Solubility Product, Ksp, for calcium hydroxide, an ionic solid that is sparingly soluble in water. This was achieved by titrating a saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 prepared at a certain temperature. The saturated, aqueous, solution of Ca(OH)2 is represented in equation form as shown below.

The equilibrium expression for calcium hydroxide is shown below.

Ksp = [Ca2+][OH–]2 Eq. 1
Equilibrium constants are temperature-dependent and the value of an equilibrium constant can be related to temperature and the Gibbs Free Energy, Gº, through the equation:
∆G°=-RTlnK Eq. 2
In this case we can substitute our ...

Introduction

Gene expression is the process through which the information that has been encorded in the gene is firstly converted into messenger RNA and then finally to a protein. The study of gene expression is critical especially to the biological student and more so to one who would like to study biology related course like microbiology in future. Therefore, it is important to note that we study gene expression in order to determine how the genes and the proteins which they encode functions in the intact organism. Zhang (2006),
Another reason why we study gene expression is in order to ...

Introduction

The purpose of this experiment is to assist one to learn how different equipment in the laboratory is being use when carrying out the experiment. It tests the level of accuracy required when using different apparatus for measuring the volume. For very approximate result of volume, a beaker or conical flask is preferred when measuring volumes of liquids.

Accurate methods of measurement

This is done by the use of burette, conical flask and pipette. These measuring apparatus are discussed below.
When a much more accurate measurement is required, always measuring cylinders are preferred Measuring cylinders, which are much more accurate than beakers and conical.

Also volumetric pipettes and volumetric flask the mostly used apparatus used when measuring accurate volume.

How do working conditions between 1880 and 1920 compare to working conditions today?

The working conditions in the late 19th and early 20th century were quite different from now. The main difference lay in the rapidly increasing Industrialization and the migration of people from rural areas to the cities in order to work in industries. (The Struggle of Labor, 2012). This led to a lot of unskilled laborers working ten hours, sometimes twelve, in a day at wages that barely made their ends meet. Ironically, industrialists had the view that the success of the industry in the market was justified ...

Analysis of Culture Cell KU812F with Three Protocols

Abstract
Protein analysis for cancer cell research has been found to be extremely reliable. The culture cell KU812F (chronicle myeloid leukemia cell line) was used for this laboratory. Globin gene switching was observed by evaluating the gene expression in the cells. Gene expression and protein folding were provoked. Gene expression is the process of transcribing DNA to cDNA and then used qPCR to study gene expression. cDNA was translated into mRNA which in turn is translated into a protein. mRNA concentration was analyzed. The three protocols were Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), Enzyme-Linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA), and ...
