Acid Rain Within this past century‚ acidity of the air and acid rain have become recognized as one of the leading threats to our planet’s environment. No longer limited by geographic boundaries‚ acid causing emissions are causing problems all over the world. Some laws have been passed which limit the amount of pollutants that are released into the air‚ but tougher legislation must be implemented before this problem can be overcome. Acid rain is produced‚ when automobiles‚ smelters‚ power

In future experiments‚ I recommend refluxing to better dissolve the reagent in a

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids bind together to form polypeptide chains‚ and these polypeptides fold and coil together into specific conformations to form proteins. There are 20 different amino acids‚ each amino acid consisting of four distinct partners. The first is a carboxyl group. A carboxyl group has very weak acids that are able to donate hydrogen ions to biological reactions. The second partner is the amino acid group. Amino acid groups act as the base which‚

1999 Adipic Acid (98/99-3) Currently operating commercial production processes for adipic acid depend on the production or purchase of KA oil (a mixture of cyclohexanone‚ the ketone or K component‚ and cyclohexanol‚ the alcohol or A component)‚ or of pure cyclohexanol‚ and its subsequent oxidation in solution to adipic acid using an excess of strong nitric acid. This report deals with KA oil/cyclohexanol production by various routes‚ followed by the common step of nitric acid oxidation. KA

One type of an extraction technique is the acid-base extraction‚ which is used to separate organic compounds from a mixture based on their acid-base properties.1 There are certain principles that must be taken into account

Acids and Bases Mirza Hasan Mammadov Acids and bases are really important in our daily day life. So let’s start with telling the definitions of them. Starting with acids‚ they are a substance which dissociates in water in order to produce one or more hydrogen ions. Also we can write H+ instead of hydrogen ion. Bases have the same definition‚ although the difference is that it firm hydroxide ions instead of hydrogen ions. We can write OH- instead of hydroxide ion. All alkali is bases but not

Lloyd Term 2‚ 2014 Lauric Acid Experiment Teacher: Mr Oliver Contents 1.0 Introduction Elements and the compounds can exist in distinctive physical states. Liquid‚ solid‚ gas and plasma. Every element and compound has a distinctive melting and boiling point. When a substance reaches its melting and boiling point it will change phase. For example the molecules in a solid being heated gain energy and eventually are able to not only vibrate but

AMINO ACIDS BY MEANS OF TITRATION CURVE ABSTRACT The aim of the experiment was to identify an unknown amino acid through acid-base titrations which was prepared in water to form an acidic solution. Each group prepared unknown amino acid hydrochloride. The pre-prepared basic solution was slowly added to the amino acid solution and pH change was closely observed using the pH meter. During these titrations the amino acid converted from cation to zwitterion to anion; zwitterion is an amino acid with
