Investigating the Presence of Starch, Glucose, Protein, and Fat in Food Sample – IGCSE Prescribed Practical

Investigating the Presence of Starch, Glucose, Protein, and Fat in Food Sample – IGCSE Prescribed Practical

In this practical investigation, we will be exploring the presence of important nutrients such as starch, glucose, protein, and fat in different types of food. By using simple chemical analysis techniques such as Benedict's solution and Biuret reagent, we can test for the presence of these nutrients and gain a better understanding of the nutritional composition of different foods. These tests can help us make informed decisions about our diets to ensure that we are consuming a balanced and healthy diet. Through a step-by-step guide and the use of equipment such as test tubes and a water bath, we can carry out these tests with ease and interpret the results to gain insights into the nutritional value of different foods.

Chemistry Exam Practice – Moles Concentration

Chemistry Exam Practice – Moles Concentration

Understanding moles concentration calculations is essential for accurately determining the concentration of a solution. Follow the steps to calculate the amount of solute, measure the volume of the solution, and calculate the concentration using the molarity equation. Additionally, learn how to perform a titration practical to determine the concentration of an unknown solution using stoichiometry and volume measurements.

Iron Tablet Titration: Step-by-Step Guide

Iron Tablet Titration: Step-by-Step Guide

Iron tablet titration is a common laboratory method used to determine the amount of iron present in a sample, such as an iron supplement tablet. This method involves reacting the iron in the tablet with a solution of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) to produce a purple colour. The endpoint of the titration is reached when the purple colour disappears, indicating that all of the iron in the tablet has reacted with the KMnO4.

How to score full marks in the conclusion evaluation section of the IBDP science IA, specifically dealing with error analysis.

In the conclusion and evaluation section of your IBDP Chemistry IA, you should summarize the results of your experiment and discuss the overall findings. This section should also include an analysis of any errors that may have occurred during your experiment and ways to improve the experiment in the future. Here is a guide to … Continue reading How to score full marks in the conclusion evaluation section of the IBDP science IA, specifically dealing with error analysis.

Esterification Reaction and equilibrium constant determination.

Esterification Reaction and equilibrium constant determination.

Esterification is a common organic reaction that involves the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol to form an ester and water. In this experiment, we will be carrying out an esterification reaction to test the equilibrium position at different temperatures using ethanoic acid and ethanol. Safety precautions: • Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) … Continue reading Esterification Reaction and equilibrium constant determination.
