Techniques Lab 1. % Recovery= grams recovered compoundgrams crude compound X 100
% Recovery= 0.040 grams0.256 grams X 100
% Recovery= 0.16 x 100=16%
There are many reasons why the percent recovery is much less than 100%. For example, one source of error may have been that the separatory funnel containing the acidified phenylalanine and ethyl acetate may not have separated well enough after being shaken together in the funnel. Not allowing an adequate amount of time for the aqueous and organic layers to separate will cause portions of the layers to be contaminated. This would affect the experimental results because when the aqueous layer was drained into a separate beaker, some of the phenylalanine would also drain out too. This would result in a loss of recovered compound. One way that this was limited was by repeating the mixing and draining process two more times; however, one cannot entirely ensure that all of the compound has been removed. A second source of error may have occurred during the vacuum filtration step. After the flask containing the organic solution and drying reagent was poured into the Hirsch funnel, the “mother liquor” was collected in the flask below. This liquid contained the phenylalanine compound that would later be recovered. After this step, ethyl acetate was used to rinse out the original flask containing the solution to ensure that all of the phenylalanine has been retrieved along with the drying reagent. One error may have been that the original flask may not have been rinsed well enough and some of the phenylalanine remained in the original flask. This would affect the end results by lowering the percent recovery due to the left behind phenylalanine in the original flask.

    Week One: the experiment started off by preparing 250mL of NaOH solution. About 0.5 grams of NaOH were measured and then inserted into a 250mL volumetric flask. Once the NaOH was in the flask, it was then filled up to the 250mL line using deionized water. After the water was put in the flask, the solution was then mixed well until the NaOH dissolved well in the water. The second solution that was prepared was KHP. This was done by measuring 1 gram of KHP. After that was completed, the KHP was put in a beaker and filled up using 50mL of demonized water and mixed well until the KHP dissolved well in the water. Three drops of the indicator phenolphthalein were put in the KHP solution.…

    pGLO Lab Report

    • 4 Pages

    The plasmid pGLO contains an antibiotic-resistance gene, ampR, and the GFP gene is regulated by the control region of the ara operon. Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills E. coli, so if E. coli, so if E. coli cells contain the ampicillin-resistance gene, the cells can survive exposure to ampicillin since the ampicillin-resistance gene encodes an enzyme that inactivates the antibiotic. Thus, transformed E. coli cells containing ampicillin-resistance plasmids can easily be selected simply growing the bacteria in the presence of ampicillin-only the transformed cells survive. The ara control region regulates GFP expression by the addition of arabinose, so the GFP gene can be turned on and off by including or omitting arabinose from the culture medium.…

    The percent yield was calculated to be 85% indicating a source of error. The low percent yield means that some product was lost. We most likely did not wash the flask enough since there was some amount of white substance on the sides of the flask. A lot of precipitate also did not form, so most of the product could have been filtered into the filtrate. We could have had a higher percent yield if we would have washed the sides of the flask more.…
