Introduction: Acid rain increases the rate of corrosion on statues made of certain material. The town council wants to build a statue that will not be affected by acid rain. In this experiment‚ three different types of rock are used on vinegar (acting as acid rain). The rocks used are marble‚ granite‚ and red sandstone‚ which are the most popular forms of rocks used to build monuments. Each type of rock will be submerged under 20 ml of vinegar in their own separate container. The pH of acid rain around

KINETICS OF THE ACID DECOMPOSITION OF THIOSULFATE Aqueous solutions of thiosulfate‚ S2O32-(aq) are stable if neutral or basic‚ but decompose quickly when the thiosulfate is dissolved in acid according to the equation: Sulfur dioxide is a gas at room temperature‚ but is very soluble in water. Sulfur‚ a water insoluble solid‚ forms a colloidal suspension. As a result‚ the solution first becomes cloudy and then opaque. We can take advantage of the developing opacity of the reaction system to do a

Abscisic Acid and Stomatal Closure Abscisic acid is a single compound unlike the auxins‚ gibberellins‚ and cytokinins. It was called "abscisin II" originally because it was thought to play a major role in abscission of fruits. Though ABA generally is thought to play mostly inhibitory roles‚ it has many promoting functions as well. In 1963‚ abscisic acid was first identified and characterized by Frederick Addicott and his associates. They were studying compounds responsible for the abscission

Experiment on Metals Aim-To find out which of these metals will be most reactive with hydrochloric acid‚and plan an investigation to test it out.The Metals given:Calcium‚Aluminium‚Iron‚Magnesium and Zinc. Prediction-I predict that the metal will be the most reactive with hydrocholoric acid is calcium because calcium is in Group 2 which is the alkaline earth metals in the periodic table and because calcium is at the extreme left side of the periodic table and as you go across a period‚the element

Analysis of acid by titration with sodium hydroxide Ms. Hoang November 2012 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate an example of how to determine the unknown molarity of hydrochloric acid by titration with a base (sodium hydroxide). Titration is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis that is used to determine the unknown concentration of an identified analyte (wekipedia). The first step will be measuring and combining water and acid (Hydrochloric

Soil properties: Some physical and chemical properties of the soil were measured‚ which are presented in Table 1. The availability of nutrients and even contaminants depends on the degree of soil acidity. The most suitable pH for soil microorganism’ activity is 7‚ as nutrient solubility depends on soil pH changes (Riser-Roberts‚ 1998). The soil used in the present study has neutral pH and therefore does not limit the activity of microorganisms or the solubility of nutrients except for phosphorus

Swiss chemist named Dr. Albert Hoffman first produced lysergic acid Diethylmide or best known as LSD in 1938 (Dye‚ 1992‚ p. 2). Hoffman discovered the drug while trying to synthesize a new drug for the treatment of headaches. He obtained the lysergic acid from the parasitic fungus that grows on rye plants known as ergot. From the lysergic acid‚ he synthesized the compound LSD. He used the compound to test for its pain killing properties on laboratory animals. Being that appeared totally ineffective
