micro-organisms that digest cellulose and other polysaccharides from plant sources. Most animals lack the enzyme‚ that is necessary to digest cellulose from plants and therefore dependent on microorganisms. The temperature of the rumen is approx. 39 degrees‚ the pH is approx. 6.5 and is anaerobic conditions. The food is present in the rumen for 9 to 12 hours and during this period bacteria and protozoa hydrolyze cellulose to the disaccharide cellobiose and free glucose molecules. Glucose is fermented

Lab Report 3: Combustion of Magnesium and Specific Heat of a Metal C4C Jeffrey Silvin Fall 2017 Major Kittle Chem 100 T1 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine an experimental value for the heat of formation of MgO with Hess’s Law and then use the result to find percent error. To do so‚ approximately 50 mL of 1.0 M HCl was added to a calorimeter. Initial temperature was measured and then 0.25 g of Mg was added. After the reaction is completed the maximum temperature was recorded.
