Acids‚ Bases‚ and Buffers Introduction: The pH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is‚ ranging from 1-14. The most acidic of all acids are at a pH level of 1 and the most basic of all bases are at 14. The neutral pH level is 7‚ which is what drinking water is. The pH level is determined by the amount of H+ ions present in a solution‚ and the more H+ ions there are the more acidic it is‚ and the lack of these ions results in more basic solutions. One distinguishing feature

Science C.A.T Year 9 2014 Advanced by Sara Hamilton 9H Testing Vinegar – Acid Base Titration Aim The aim of this practical experiment was to pair up and measure the concentration of the acid in three different brands of vinegar. We added a base liquid‚ to the three different brands of vinegar until a neutralization reaction occurred. We conducted the experiment using the titration method. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that the vinegar that will have the highest acidic level will be Cornwell’s because

Reacting Acids and Bases Lab Report Introduction Every liquid‚ except for distilled water‚ has either acidic or basic traits. An acid is sour tasting‚ and gives a sharp stinging pain in a cut or wound‚ and bases taste bitter‚ and feel slippery. A pH scale is used to determine what traits a liquid has; acidic or basic. The scale focuses on OH- (hydroxide ions) and H+ (hydrogen ions). The scale goes from 0 to 14. 7 is distilled water‚ as it is directly in the middle; neither acidic or basic. Acids are

Acids‚ Bases‚ and pH Lab In this lab the testing of whether or not a substance was an acid or a base occurred. Each substance was tested with the indicators red litmus paper‚ blue litmus paper‚ pH paper‚ phenolthalein‚ bromthymol blue‚ and phenol red. While the substances were tested the group noticed that the substances tested with the red and blue litmus paper‚ the phenolthatein‚ bronthmol blue were the easiest to interpret. The color changes that occurred when this indicator was put into a substance

In order to find the Vitamin C content you will need to use a process called titration which‚ according to the Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia‚ is when you add a chemicals to a liquid in order to create a reaction which can determine the content of a substance inside the liquid. This is how you will find the Vitamin C content of different juices. Iodine will be added to the juice‚ which will create a reaction that can help determine the Vitamin C content. To start‚ pour 30 milliliters (mL) of Lugol’s

Ammonia and Hydrochloric Acid Lab Chemistry 1 Abstract The straw should be cut shorter to 8 cm in order to make the solid ring appear in the center of the straw. We achieved our goal‚ cutting the straw caused the gases to not have to go as far‚ and meet in the middle. Background The particles in a gas are very loose and tend to move around a lot very quickly. The particles in a solid are very compact and vibrate but don’t really move very much. The particles in a liquid however are more

Lab Report: Acid-Base Titration Brianna Morrison Chemistry 111 October 11‚ 2010 Aim: To standardize a solution of the base sodium hydroxide using oxalic acid dihydrate as primary standard acid. Also to determine the amount of sodium hydroxide it takes to titrate a weighted sample of an unknown acid. Procedure: As outlined in instructions provided‚ no changes were made to the procedure. Data: Part A: Trial 1: Amount of H C O 2H O: 0.96 g Buret before titration: 3.6

should be acquired during the experiment if all aspects go perfectly. However‚ due to experimental errors‚ very few labs do so. These results are called actual yield. The percent ratio between the theoretical and actual yield is called the percentage yield. It is calculated by taking the actual yield and dividing it by the theoretical yield‚ then multiplying it by 100%. The goal of a lab is to get as close to a 100% percentage yield as possible because that means no errors occurred during the
