Have you ever felt so defeated that you truly believe that it would be easier to give up and end it all? That is how I felt when I had major anxiety attacks everyday‚ severe depression‚ and self body image issues. It all started when I was in middle school‚ I was an average student in middle school with decent grades. I was a very outgoing and bubbly person. I just joined a dance team in my neighborhood and was excited to be something I loved. The most important part was that I was happy. Then my

Title: Acids‚ Bases & Buffers Objectives: 1. To understand the acid-base chemistry. 2. To prepare and evaluate a buffer system 3. To measure the buffering capacity of two types of isotonic drinks. Introduction: There are acid-forming‚ basic forming and neutral food‚ however the acid or alkaline properties of a food is unable to judge by the actual acidity of the food itself. For example‚ citrus fruits such as lemon are acidic‚ but they are alkaline-forming when we consume and digest it. Therefore

Before we began naming acids and bases we must understand each term. A base is a compound that produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. An acid is a compound that produces hydrogen ions in solution is a hydrogen-ion donor‚ or electron –paired accepter. The name of the acid depends on the ion’s ending and the number of hydrogen atoms must be equal to the negative charge‚ and the name of a base depends on if it contains OH or hydroxide. The naming of an acid depends on the suffix of the cation

EXPERIMENT 2 ACID DISSOCIATION CONSTANT OF AN INDICATOR DYE OBJECTIVES Using spectrophotometric method: determine the wavelengths at which the acid and base forms of the dye in aqueous medium exhibit maximum absorption; determine the molar absorptivities of the acid and base forms of the dye and estimate an unknown concentration of the dye in solution using the Beer-Lambert’s Law; and determine the acid dissociation constant of the indicator dye. THEORY The absorption or reflection of

Acid Rain and its Effects On Our Aquatic Ecosystems In the past century‚ one of the greatest threats to North America ’s aquatic ecosystem has been the widespread acidification of hundreds of thousands of waterways. Acid rain has effected plant and animal life within aquatic ecosystems‚ as well as microbiologic activity by affecting the rates of decomposition and the accumulation of organic matter. What causes this poisonous rain‚ and what can be done to improve North America ’s water quality
