of the results of this experiment 1. Neutral red is a vital stain. It stains cells without quickly killing them. Many biological stains kill living cells. 2. Neutral red goes through an obvious color change‚ from red at about pH 6.8 to yellow at pH 8.0. 3. A 1% solution of sodium bicarbonate has a pH of about 8.5. 4. Yeast cells have an internal pH that is slightly acidic (about 5.5 to 6.0). Concepts • Diffusion • Active transport • Acid–base indicators • Selective permeability Materials

BUFFERS By: Luis P. Bazan‚ RPh.‚ Ph.D. A buffer solution is a solution of: 1. A weak acid or a weak base and 2. The salt of the weak acid or weak base Both must be present! A buffer solution has the ability to resist changes in pH upon the addition of small amounts of either acid or base. Consider an equal molar mixture of CH3COOH and CH3COONa CH3COOH (aq) H+ (aq) + CH3COO- (aq) Adding more acid creates a shift left IF enough acetate ions are present 16.3 Which of the following

Ashley Silva Lab 7: Three Stooges in Chemical Reactions Objective: The purpose of this lab is to experimentally determine the equilibrium constant‚ Kc ‚ for the following chemical reaction: Fe3+ (aq) + SCN-(aq) ↔FeSCN2+(aq) Background Information: A system is at equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction. There is no change in concentration for the reactants or products at chemical equilibrium. When the system is disturbed there

The Effects of Acid Rain on Plant Growth PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment was to determine to what degree acid rain affects the growth of certain plants. I became interested in this idea because I’m worried about our environmental conditions and it sounded very interesting to me. The information gained from this experiment may be used to as a warning to stop air pollution. HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the plant watered with the acid solution will grow more slowly than plant’s

nitrogens on this station. Both of these methods rely on the repulsive electrostatic interactions between the positively charged axial component and the post-switching cationic nature of the benzidine station (Figure 5.4). Deuterated trifluoroacetic acid (d-TFA) was added in the solution which resulted in the protonation of the benzidine residue and shuttling of macrocycle in to the biphenol station of the Rotaxane. This was supported by NOESY 1H NMR that showed a shift in the peaks in retrospect to

Lecture 5 Lizan A. Majeed Reading Paragraph Purpose Each paragraph in a text has a clear purpose. For example: The first paragraph introduces the topic‚ states the purpose of the text‚ or describes a problem or situation. The body paragraphs develop arguments‚ try to persuade‚ suggest solutions‚ or describe developments. The final paragraph concludes‚ evaluates‚ or discusses consequences. Identifying the purpose of each paragraph helps you understand the text and decide where

Citric acid cycle From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search [pic] [pic] Overview of the citric acid cycle The citric acid cycle — also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle)‚ the Krebs cycle‚ or the Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle‚ [1][2] — is a series of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions‚ which is of central importance in all living cells that use oxygen as part of cellular respiration. In eukaryotic cells‚ the citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion

Stage 3: Making Sulphuric Acid In principle‚ you can react sulphur trioxide with water to make sulphuric acid. In practice‚ this produces an uncontrollable fog of concentrated sulphuric acid. Instead‚ the sulphur trioxide is absorbed in concentrated sulphuric acid to give
