Chemistry
Objectives/Goals From a known mass of solid CO2 (dry ice), what is the volume of CO2 gas produced when the sample has completely sublimed? How does the measured volume compare to the volume…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The rate at which hydrogen ions diffuse through water was determined by measuring the time it takes hydrogen ions to travel a known distance. Methods/Materials A concentrate…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my experiment was to see which vegetables make stronger dyes. I wanted to research this project because in ancient times, all that people had was natural dyes…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals Although singlet oxygen (the first excited state of ground state oxygen) research has been of great interest to many research groups since the 1960s, little information is a…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals Problem statement: Does the type of water affect the growth of crystals? Hypothesis: The type of water does influence the crystals# growth. Methods/Materials Materials: Jar,…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandates that there be no more than 0.1 ppm of chromium in drinking water. To be able to determine whether a water sample had reache…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals Our project is based on acids and bases reacting together to create gases.We wanted to see if fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables would produce the most gas when mixed with…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine what temperaure has the most down-up motions of kernels of millets. I anticipated the down-up millet motion would have more frequency as the temp…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals My Question that I am testing is if natural fruit and vegetable dyed fabric will retain its original color when washed with todays detergents. Methods/Materials To test my e…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals This project was to see which gas could keep a balloon inflated the longest; Nitrogen, Helium or Compressed Air. This project was chosen to test Costco's advertisement that…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my experiment was to determine from a selection of different types of nuts which one contained the highest caloric content. My research indicated that the alm…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The goal of this project is to determine whether high-valent manganese compounds readily oxidize dopamine, a neurotransmitter. It also examines whether cysteine (a sulfur co…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine the optimum pH for dyeing 100% cotton cellulose fabric using fiber reactive dyes. I believe that the high pH dye solutions will produce results w…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals Objective: Does the source of light cause different outcomes in a photochemical reaction? Investigate the effect of ammonium oxalate and iodide on different sources of light…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this project was to determine which of the eluting solutions of petroleum ether, acetone, and water will separate the color pigments in red onions. Methods/Ma…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR delta) is a ligand dependent protein which regulates the transcription of genes related to lipid and cholesterol m…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The objective is to see which color hair lightens fastest under the sun and under an ultraviolet bulb. Methods/Materials Six different colors of hair were used. Four of the…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals To determine if I could successfully produce hydrogen gas from water using solar electrolysis and what variable increases the production of hydrogen during electrolysis. Met…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of different substances on the freezing point of water (melting point). The freezing point of water is the temper…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals I will test the hypothesis that nature prefers strands and helices in building biomolecules. I will also test if strands and helices are more stable structures than extended…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals To what extent does the surface tension of water decrease as the amount of detergent is increased? If adding detergent to distilled water affects its surface tension, then c…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project was to find the optimal potential range and finest set of conditions for the synthesis of Bismuth Telluride nanowires. Methods/Materials The fa…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals Organic peroxides are dangerous, explosive chemicals that can form in organic lab solvents, such as diethyl ether tetrahydrofuran (THF), when exposed to light, heat, or air.…
