    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

    Ozone depletion‚ greenhouse effect‚ and acid rain are man-made disasters. The ozone layer is the part of the Earth’s atmosphere which contains relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). The cause of ozone depletion is the presence of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and related halocarbons gases in the atmosphere. In the presence of Ultraviolet light‚ these gases dissociate‚ releasing chlorine atoms‚ which then go on to catalyze ozone destruction. The greenhouse effect‚ on the other hand‚ is a natural

    was the reaction from the sulfate anion test between Sodium Sulfate and Barium Chloride. If the compound was in fact Sodium Sulfate it would produce a white precipitate and it did. The second reaction was first between Sodium Sulfate and Hydrochloric Acid‚ and then Silver Nitrate was added. For the compound to be confirmed‚ a white precipitate should form again‚ and it did. The next reaction started with the combination of Sodium Sulfate and Ammonia Hydroxide and
