Factors affecting the rate of reaction between a metal and an acid The rate of a reaction can be measured by the rate at which a reactant is used up‚ or the rate at which a product is formed. The temperature‚ concentration‚ pressure of reacting gases‚ surface area of reacting solids‚ and the use of catalysts‚ are all factors which affect the rate of a reaction. Individual properties of substances also affect reaction rates. The scope of these properties is broad and there are few generalizations

Introduction to Acids Base chemistry Purpose How to determine the constant equilibrium of an acid‚ Ka? How to evaluate the concentration (M) of an acid? In “part A” experiment‚ we would test the PH of different concentration of acetic acid (a weak acid which partially dissociated in water) with a PH probe. After we got the PH‚ we could find out the concentration of H+ by applying the relationship pH = -log [H+]. Having the determined value of [H+] of a weak acid with a known molar concentration

Abstract: Diesel fuel is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and it is well known that in extreme cold operating conditions some of these (paraffin) form wax crystals that will block the fuel filter and prevent engine operation. Also‚ due to dust and foreign particles engine may get damage. Filtration is mainly done with filter rod. If this rod is missing‚ then filter will not work properly and hence will result into the dysfunction. Poka-yoke is a concept in total quality management which is related

The advantage and disadvantage of coal fired boiler Every coins has two sides ‚so does the coal fired boiler.Warming with hard coal has positives and negatives. For many people‚ having an power source seemingly a different concept because they require boilers and stoves that are not easily accessible over the country. Boilers can be acquired and installed to offer heat. Listed here are the advantages and disadvantages for utilizing Hard coal to heat your own home. The disadvantage of coal fired

which four amino acids‚ histidine‚ lysine‚ glutamine‚ and glutamic acid‚ are identified based on their titration behavior. Solutions of each unknown amino acid are made and the change in pH upon adding small amounts of NaOH aliquots of a strong base are monitored. The amino acids are identified using the information represented by the titration curves. The titration curves include the following information: isoelectric points‚ pKas‚ buffering regions and the structures of the amino acids. The results

The Cause and Effects of Acid Mine Drainage INTRODUCTION Imagine going fishing on a cool Autumn day‚ the trees are all different shades of orange‚ brown and red and the birds are singing their beautiful songs‚ but their is a serious problem because when you arrive at the river all plant and animal life are gone. This is by no means a recent phenomenon. This is due to the effects of acid rock drainage (ARD). This is a problem that has been occurring since ancient times‚ but it was not until

of Acetylsalicylic Acid Abstract Acetylsalicylic acid was prepared using salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. As a result‚ a white‚ powdery substance was formed (0.1931g‚ percent yield 91.30%) and was defined by melting point (124.5 – 134.5°C) and observation of color change with ferric chloride. Introduction Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is one of the most popular analgesic drugs on the market today. It also acts as an antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drug. Salicylic acid itself was too acidic

Benzoic Acid and Benzoates in Food‚ Drinks and Medicines Benzoic acid and benzoates are common additives to food‚ drinks‚ medicines and cosmetics‚ and they also occur naturally in many plants. They are useful chemicals in manufactured products because they kill or inhibit both bacteria and fungi and can act as preservatives. Benzoic acid and benzoates are considered to be safe chemicals for humans when they’re used in small quantities‚ but there are at least two situations in which even small
