Acid-base homeostasis is a complex synergy that involving lungs‚ kidneys and a buffer chemical in blood and blood cells. BACKGROUND A substance that has high concentration of hydrogen ion in solution is called acid and solution that has low concentration of hydrogen ion is base. Base

Preparation of an Acetic Acid Ester Abstract: 14.1 g of octyl acetate were synthesized from the esterification process using 20.0 ml of acetic acid and 17.9 g of n-octanol. The theoretical yield was 23.8 g of octyl acetate. The percent yield was 59.2%. The purification of the final ester was confirmed by boiling point (186-199°C) and infrared index (nD=1.419). It was a colorless liquid that had a slight fragrance of orange and indescribable chemicals. The Infrared spectra confirmed ester

VINEGAR (ACETIC ACID) AS ALTERNATIVE BATTERY Battery or more precisely‚ a cell – is a device in which the reaction between two substances can be made to occur in such a way that some of the chemical energy is converted to useful electricity. Since its invention‚ the battery has become the most common power source for many household and industrial applications. There are many ways to construct a battery‚ as well as ways to control its generated output. This Home-made Vinegar Battery is a battery

and industrial applications. Citric Acid is one of the organic acids commonly used as a chelating agent. It is considered an excellent chelating agent that binds metals. It is used to remove lime scale from boilers and evaporators. It can be used to soften water‚ which makes it useful in soaps and laundry detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water‚ it lets these cleaners produce foam and work better without need for water softening devices. Citric acid is the active ingredient in some bathroom

ethanol and acetic acid; it is manufactured on a large scale for use as a solvent. The combined annual production in 1985 of Japan‚ North America‚ and Europe was about 400‚000 tons.[1] In 2004‚ an estimated 1.3M tons were produced worldwide.[2] Production Ethyl acetate is synthesized in industry mainly via the classic Fischer esterification reaction of ethanol and acetic acid. This mixture converts to the ester in about 65% yield at room temperature: The reaction can be accelerated by acid catalysis

is closely related to apiole‚ having amethoxy group positioned differently on the benzene ring. Vinegar is a liquid consisting mainly of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and water. The acetic acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. Vinegar is now mainly used as a cooking ingredient‚ but historically‚ as the most easily available mild acid‚ it had a great variety of industrial‚

III We have been provided with two samples of vinegar‚ one removed from a restaurant and one removed from a take-away. Trading Standards suspect these two establishments of watering down the vinegar. They need evidence that the samples contain less acid than the standard vinegar sample provided. What is the purpose of this? I’m a worker in the Trading Standards which carries out tests to see if restaurants and takeaways are watering down the vinegar. We will take one sample of vinegar from a

produced by acetylation of aniline with acetic anhydride. The crude acetanilide was dissolved in a solvent in a heated water bath. The solution was cooled slowly in an ice bath as crystals form out. As the compound crystallizes from the solution‚ the limiting reagent Aniline and the percent yield of 96% was obtained. Introduction: This experiment involves four functional groups common in organic chemistry. The substrate (reactants) which are Aniline and Acetic anhydride are both liquids and one of

Emil Fischer and Arthur Speier were the pioneers of this reaction referred to as Fischer Esterification. The reaction is characterized by the combining of an alcohol and an acid (with an acid catalyst) to yield and ester plus water. In order to accomplish the reaction‚ the reactants were refluxed for

Amino Acids Glycine is the smallest of the amino acids. It is ambivalent‚ meaning that it can be inside or outside of the protein molecule. In aqueous solution at or near neutral pH‚ glycine will exist predominantly as the zwitterion. Alanine is a hydrophobic molecule. It is ambivalent‚ meaning that it can be inside or outside of the protein molecule. The α carbon of alanine is optically active; in proteins‚ only the L-isomer is found. Serine differs from alanine in that one of the methylenic
