A buffer is a solution that resists changes in pH when H+, OH-, or H20 is added. By using standard lab equipment, a lab pro diagnostic tool, and acidic and basic solutions, the pH can be found. By recording the pH while adding a base or an acid gradually to a buffer solution you can find the capacity of each buffer to resist drastic changes in pH. The best buffers will keep a solution from becoming either too acidic or basic with the addition of a strong base or acid.

In this project, C. Elegans are hermaphrodite worms that will be used since they are easy to maintain in lab, as well as have short life cycles. The gene that the project attempted to knockdown in C. Elegans with RNAi treatment is the unc-22 gene. RNAi disrupts gene expression in the presence of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) that is complementary to target gene sequence. The unc-22 gene codes for a muscle protein called twitchin in wild-type worms. The Unc-22 is required for muscle regulation and maintenance in C.Elegans. To verify that the RNAi treatment worked, would check the unc-22 mRNA levels in the worms, in addition to phenotype observation.

When calcium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and phenol red are put into a bag and mixed up the type of reaction that occurs is a chemical reaction for the following reasons. Things that indicate that a chemical reaction has occurred are color change, formation of precipitate, formation of gas, and energy transfer in which three of them took place in the reaction of calcium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and phenol red. The three indicators in this experiment were: a color change, formation of gas, and an energy transfer

At station A when zinc and hydrochloric acid react with each other it is a chemical change because it creates gas bubbles and temperature change. At station B where NaOH solution and phenolphthalein react with each other it is a chemical change because it changed to the colour purple and the change looked difficult to reverse. Station C in which sulfuric acid and magnesium were to react with each other is a chemical change because it formed gas bubbles and changed colour. Station D where hydrochloric acid and Bromothymol blue were the materials is a chemical change because it changed to the colour yellow and looked difficult to reverse. In Station E where NaCl solution and AgNO3 solution were the materials is a chemical change because the reaction

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 the experiment was to determine how a buffer works and how to use an acid-base indicator. The way a buffer works was determined by observing the changes in pH of solutions of different concentrations weak acids and their conjugate bases to determine how a buffer affects the pH change. The solution of 10 mL of 0.20 M CH3COOH and 10 mL of 0.20 M CH3COONa had slighter changes in pH than the solution of 10 mL of 0.0020 M CH3COOH and 10 mL of 0.0020 M CH3COONa. Both of these solutions were buffers, shown because they had slighter changes in pH than the solutions with only the weak acid or conjugate base and water. The determination of how buffers work was also tested with observing that the solution of NaC4H3O4 and Na2C4H2O4 had smaller

This is done through a change in temperature. Over time, two objects that are in direct contact will

In the chemical and physical change lab, we figured out what a chemical change is. A chemical change is a change in which one or more substances are converted into a different substances. That means if a chemical change occurred the substances will be turned into a different substance. In order to know if a chemical change happened you will see bubbles, a color change, energy released as heat and light or a solid participate. The first example, of a chemical change in this lab is bubbles. In stations 6 and 8 each had bubbles in them. In station 6 the zinc was put into the HCI acid and once they touched they got bubbly and cloudy. Also in station 8 when a spoonful of baking soda and HCI acid touches the solution, it started to bubble and fizz.

Dispense .5 mL water into the already weighed conical vial, replace cap and face insert on its down side.

There's a variety of different types of chemical reactions, but the ones I'm going to name down low are the main points of chemical reactions. The names of the different types of reactions is Decomposition, Combustion, Acid/base,Synthesis,Single-Replacement, Double- Replacement and Precipitation. Decomposition is one of the eight chemical reactions. Decomposition is when you get something complex and break it down into smaller molecules. Decomposition is the opposite of synthesis reaction.

This lab mainly focused on presenting 10 elements (2 unknown) that could be analyzed and then grouped together predominantly by metallic character. Each element was observed thoroughly and the findings can be seen in the above data table. By viewing the periodic table and observations, each element was labeled as either a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid, providing insight towards each element's physical properties and behavior with the two solutions, hydrochloric acid and copper chloride. The nonmetals, sulfur and carbon, did not undergo a chemical reaction with either solution.

I was hired to be a new chemistry teacher at the Forest Grove High School. When I got

When using different methods to measure pH levels there are some tools that can be useful. Some more than others but by putting into action the different methods it may determine which tools will work best and give the best results when testing the pH within a solution. The pH, which stands for the proportion of hydrogen ions in a solution, could be acidic (acidosis), neutral or basic (alkaline). The pH scale goes from numbers 1 through 14. A pH of 7 is neutral;
