  • Exercise and Cellular Respiration Lab
    California State University of Bakersfield, Department of Chemistry Exercise and Cellular Respiration Lab Standards: MS-LS1-7 Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. Introduction: I. Background Information. Cellular respiration (see chemical reaction below) is a chemical reaction that occurs in your cells to create energy; when you are exercising your muscle cells are creating ATP to contract. Cellular respiration requires oxygen (which is breathed in) and creates carbon dioxide (which is breathed out). This lab will address how exercise (increased muscle activity) affects the rate of cellular respiration. You will measure 3 different indicators of cellular respiration: breathing rate, heart rate, and carbon dioxide production. You will measure these indicators at rest (with no exercise) and after 1 and 2 minutes of exercise. Breathing rate is measured in breaths per minute, heart rate in beats per minute, and carbon dioxide in the time it takes bromothymol blue to change color. Carbon dioxide production can be measured by breathing through a straw into a solution of bromothymol blue (BTB). BTB is an acid indicator; when it reacts with acid it turns from blue to yellow. When carbon dioxide reacts with water, a weak acid (carbonic acid) is formed (see chemical reaction below). The more carbon dioxide you breathe into the BTB solution, the faster it will change color to yellow. The purpose of this lab activity is to analyze the effect of exercise on cellular respiration.

  • The Hydrophobic Effect Oil and Water Do Not Mix. This Fact Is So Well
    The hydrophobic effect Oil and water do not mix. This fact is so well engrained in our ever-day experience that we never ask “why”. Well, today we are going to ask just this question: “why do oil and water not mix?” At the end of the class you will hopefully see that the reason oil and water do not mix is quite distinct from the reason many other substance do not mix. You will also see that the hydrophobic effect is part of a family of processes called “entropy driven ordering” and that the hydrophobic effect has nothing to do with bonds between hydrophobic molecules. This should sound a bit strange to you right now, but I am sure that at the end of the class it will all make sense to you. Why most liquids mix or do not mix (the generic case) What would our physico-chemical intuition tell us about the process of mixing two liquids? Lets think of a simple lattice model for the two solutions. If we call the substances A and B, the energy for mixing should then be the energy of interaction that are made between A and B, minus the energy of interactions that A made with A, and B made with B, plus the entropy of mixing. "Gmixing = "Hmixing # T"Smixing where "Hmixing = 2"Ha#b # "Ha#a # "Hb#b What predictions would this simple model for solutions make for the energetics of mixing? First, mixing should be favored by entropy and therefore the tendency to mix ! should increase with temperature.

  • Ph Temperature Compensation
    pH Temperature Compensation There are two types of temperature compensation when discussing pH measurements. Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), which compensates for the varying milli-volt output from the electrode due to temperature changes of the process solution and Solution Temperature Compensation (STC), which corrects for a change in the chemistry (change in pH) of the solution as the temperature of the solution changes. Automatic Temperature Compensation In a pH-measuring loop, there are three main components. The glass (pH) measuring electrode, the reference electrode and the temperature electrode. When the electrodes are placed in a solution, a voltage (mV) is generated depending on the hydrogen activity of the solution. The varying voltage (potential) is dependent on the acidity or alkalinity of the solution and varies with the hydrogen ion activity in a known manner, the Nernst Equation. The potential (voltage) of the glass electrode is compared to the potential of the reference electrode and the difference between the two potentials is the measured potential. When placed in a pH 7 buffer most electrodes are designed to produce a zero (0) mV potential. As the solution becomes more acidic (lower pH) the potential of the glass electrode becomes more positive (+ mV) in comparison to the reference electrode and as the solution becomes more alkaline (higher pH) the potential of the glass electrode becomes more negative (- mV) in comparison to the reference electrode. The Nernst Equation shows the relationship between temperature and its affect on the activity of the hydrogen ion. At 25°C, each additional pH unit change represents a +/- 59.16 mV change in the potential of the glass electrode from a starting point of pH 7 (0 mV).

  • Raoult's Law – Partition Law
    BAE 820 Physical Principles of Environmental Systems Henry’s Law - Raoult's Law – Partition law Dr. Zifei Liu Biological and Agricultural Engineering Henry's law • At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid. Pi = KHCi • Where Pi is the partial pressure of the gaseous solute above the solution, C is the i William Henry concentration of the dissolved gas and KH (1774-1836) is Henry’s constant with the dimensions of pressure divided by concentration. KH is different for each solute-solvent pair. Biological and Agricultural Engineering 2 Henry's law For a gas mixture, Henry's law helps to predict the amount of each gas which will go into solution. When a gas is in contact with the surface of a liquid, the amount of the gas which will go into solution is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas. An equivalent way of stating the law is that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. the solubility of gases generally decreases with increasing temperature. A simple rationale for Henry's law is that if the partial pressure of a gas is twice as high, then on the average twice as many molecules will hit the liquid surface in a given time interval, Biological and Agricultural Engineering 3 Air-water equilibrium Dissolution Pg or Cg Air (atm, Pa, mol/L, ppm, …) At equilibrium, Pg KH = Caq Water Caq (mol/L, mole ratio, ppm, …) Volatilization Biological and Agricultural Engineering 4 Various units of the Henry’s constant (gases in water at 25ºC) Form of K =P/C K =C /P K =P/x K =C /C equation H, pc aq H, cp aq H, px H, cc aq gas Units L∙atm/mol mol/(L∙atm) atm dimensionless -3 4 -2 O2 769 1.3×10 4.26×10 3.18×10 -4 4 -2 N2 1639 6.1×10 9.08×10 1.49×10 -2 3 CO2 29 3.4×10 1.63×10 0.832 Since all KH may be referred to as Henry's law constants, we must be quite careful to check the units, and note which version of the equation is being used.

ABSTRACT Partially miscible liquids become more soluble with the increase in temperature and at a certain temperature they are completely miscible. This temperature is known as the critical solution temperature (CST) or consolute temperature. The temperature above the phase gets affected by the addition of impurities. To observe the miscibility temperature, the mixture was heated in a boiling tube until the turbidity disappeared and the final temperature was noted. Then, the mixture was cooled down and the temperature noted when the turbidity reappeared. Solutions of impurities of different concentrations were formed and their effect on the phase was analyzed. It was found that addition of ionic compound KCl, in phenol- water system show lesser increase in CST as they decrease the miscibility to a lesser extent.

Sometimes, however, a mixture is so completely blended that its ingredients cannot be identified as different substances. A solution is a type of mixture, called a homogeneous mixture, that is the same throughout. A solution can be physically separated, but all portions of a solution have the same properties. If you stir sand into a glass of water, you can identify the sand as a separate substance that falls to the bottom of the glass.

  • Lecture Ch. 9: Solution Concentration Units
    Lecture Ch. 9: Solution Concentration Units When working with solutions, it is convenient to use units that express concentration – that is to say, how much solute there is per a set amount of solution or solvent. Highly concentrated solutions have a lot of solute dissolved. Weakly concentrated solutions have very little solute dissolved. Some solutions will have as little as one part solute/ 10,000,000,000 parts solvent ! For some mixtures, particularly liquids dissolved in liquids, dissolving in any proportion will lead to a solution – we call these solutions miscible in all proportions. For others, only a maximum amount of solute can be dissolved in solution before the rest will start to precipitate out. At that point the solution is saturated . For solutions in liquid solvents, there are a number of units we can use to express concentration. Some are better for extremely dilute concentrations, and some are better used for relatively concentrated solutions. Some will be used by chemists, some by biologists, and some by laboratory technicians. As professionals in the health field, you should be comfortable working with all of the concentration units we’ll cover in this chapter. I. Molarity Molarity is most often used by chemists in the practical lab. You may already have encountered it during your own lab classes here . Molarity stands for Moles of Solute / Liters of Solution. The most common mistake I see students make is to think that Molarity, or its shorthand symbol, M, stands for moles. This is not true. It is moles PER liter of solution. The shorthand for moles is mol, there is no single letter shorthand for moles.
