ABSTRACT
A thermocouple is a temperature-measuring device that consists of two dissimilar conductors that are joined at each end. In this experiment, two junctions were created between two different materials; Nichrome and Constantan, Copper and Constantan, and Nichrome and Copper, by twisting the wires firmly together. The voltmeter leading to the two free ends was set to the most sensitive DC voltage (200 mV). The voltage was measured and recorded with both junctions at room temperature. One junction was inserted into an ice block at 0oC, while the other junction was inserted into hot liquid maintained at 100oC and the voltage was measured and recorded. The procedure was repeated using different pairs of materials to create the junctions with various lengths and diameters of the wires, with a view to determining the pair that will generate the

The first way is applying an electric field to a material with no temperature gradient. This defines the electrical conductivity (σ) of the materials by taking the ratio between the current density and the applied electric field. The second way is applying a temperature gradient and measuring the heat flow. This defines the thermal conductivity (k) of the material by taking the ratio of heat flow to unit area. The third way is applying a temperature gradient across two dissimilar homogeneous conductive materials. This defines the Seebeck coefficient (thermopower, thermoelectric power) by taking the ratio between the voltage produced (Seebeck voltage) and the temperature difference (Rowe,

1232 Words | 5 PagesThe specific heat of three elements were tested zinc, copper, and lead. The experiments ran from Monday to Thursday and allowed a precise amount of heat to be determined. The experiment had multiple errors which were caused by random errors not systematically errors. In order to combat this, certain items were kept same. This was called a control.
6.03 Identity Lab Report
363 Words | 2 PagesThe purpose of this lab was to be able to use physical characteristics to determine the identity of an unknown compound. The data from this experiment classified aluminum as metallic; ascorbic acid, paraffin, palmitic acid, sucrose, graphite, and water as molecular; sodium chloride as ionic. In order to determine this, 3 tests were conducted. The first test was to test the conductivity of each substance at room temperature. In this test, only graphite and aluminum conducted.

1117 Words | 5 PagesThe thermistor measures the temperature of the incoming air. The hot wire is maintained at a constant temperature in relation to the thermistor by the electronic control circuit. An increase in air flow will cause the hot wire to lose heat faster and the electronic control circuitry will compensate by sending in more current through the wire. The electronic control circuit simultaneously measures the current flow and
Ox-Tail Soup Analysis
194 Words | 1 PagesThe Ox-tail soup is used as a mean of communication of Tita’s memories. After a while her sister’s family moved out, and their child died soon later. When Tita heard the news; she is going crazy, she yells and talk back to her Mama Elena. Mama Elena is so mad of Tita’s disrespect then she whips Tita in the face with a wooden spoon; then broke Tita’s nose. Soon after Tita gets kick out by her Mama, but Dr.John allows Tita live at his house, but Tita condition is bad, Tita loses her memory because of the suffer “after tasting a spoonful of soup that Chencha had made and brought to Dr.John Brown’s house Tita had returned to her senses” (Esquivel 123).
Substrate Concentration Lab Report
181 Words | 1 PagesHypothesis: Increasing substrate concentration will increase the initial reaction rate until it stops increasing and flattens out. Independent Variable: Substrate concentration Dependent Variable: The substrate itself, 1.0% Hydrogen Peroxide How Dependent Variable will be Measured: Hydrogen Peroxide will be used in every experiment, just with different test tubes. The amount of Hydrogen Peroxide in the mixing table is the amount that will be added to each test tube.

Two Components Of An Unknown Mixture Lab Report
760 Words | 4 PagesThe purpose of this experiment was to identify the two components of an unknown mixture through diverse experimental techniques such as recrystallization, extraction, melting point, and acid-base reactions. From this, the group to which these two compounds belong to had to be determined. These groups are: Carboxylic Acids, phenols, and neutrals. By determining the melting points of the two unknown compounds, these values were compared to the values of melting points in the chart and the proper compound was selected. For the case of this experiment, the unknown mixture contained, 4-methylbenzoic acid.

565 Words | 3 PagesIntroduction The purpose of this week’s lab was to enhance our understanding of the Grignard reagents that were examined in lecture. In this lab, a Grignard reagent will be prepared through the reaction of magnesium turnings and bromobenzene. Instead of isolating the product it will then be combined with benzophenone, which will give the final product of triphenylmethanol. Procedure
Yeast Fermentation Lab
529 Words | 3 PagesTitle: How Ph Levels Affected the Fermentation of Beer Hypothesis: The beer will be left with more sugar deposit as the Ph levels increase because alpha/beta -amylase will no longer function. Predictions: Alcohol Percentage Analysis for the Control and the Experimental During this experiment, the pH level was increased, therefore Alpha-Amylase was favored. Due to the nature of Alpha-Amylase cutting randomly through a large carbohydrate molecule, it leaves bigger sugars in the flask, which cannot be digested by yeast. Due to this, less reactions should occur in the experimental, therefore leading to a lower percentage of alcohol production, compared to the control.

1432 Words | 6 PagesJoshua Miller 12/18/17 Fermentation Lab report Introduction The term fermentation refers to the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat (wikipedia). Sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol when fermentation happens. In this experiment we determined if yeast cells undergo fermentation when placed in a closed flask with no oxygen. Glucose and yeast are mixed together in a closed flask and allowed to incubate for about one hour.
