Task 4 – The Maintenance of the Acid – Base balance in the body (D1) pH is measured based on its acidity and alkalinity. There are many substances around the body that have different pH values. A pH of 7 is usually considered neutral‚ neither acid nor alkaline‚ this is the pH of water. In the body the acids and bases need to be in very close balance‚ this is called ‘acid base homeostasis. If it goes off too far in either direction then it could be fatal to the body. For example in the body the blood

Lab 5 Acid/Base Extractions Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to separate either the organic base (amine) or organic acid (carboxylic acid) from a mixture that contains inorganic impurities (salt) by performing a liquid-liquid extraction and then taking a melting point. Key Experimental Details and Observations Our starting material‚ Compound B‚ was a fine white powder and weighed 0.535g. The final product was a shiny white sheet that resembled acrylic paint and weighed 0.109g

STEP 1: Create the Multifile Project and the Main (Base) Class Back to top Create a new project that consists of the base class BankAccount. The BankAccount class should contain‚ at minimum‚ the following members. It should contain data members to store a bank customer’s balance and account number. These should be of different and appropriate data types. It should have function members that do the following: set the account number; return the account number;

Chem 253 Lab 1: Acid/Base Properties of an Antimicrobial Agent 09/03/13 Purpose The purpose was to determine the acid and base properties of the antimicrobial agent sodium benzoate. Theory Sodium has mainly been used in food processing to avoid growth of bacteria and harmful microorganisms. It is commonly used to preserve foods and beverages that have an acidic pH. Rather than benzoic acid‚ sodium benzoate is used because it is generally soluble in most aqueous solutions but benzoic

Acids and Bases Are Everywhere Every liquid you see will probably have either acidic or basic traits. Water (H2O) can be both an acid and a base‚ depending on how you look at it. It can be considered an acid in some reactions and a base in others. Water can even react with itself to form acids and bases. It happens in really small amounts‚ so it won’t change your experiments at all. It goes like this: 2H2O --> H2O + H+ + OH- --> H3O+ + OH- See how the hydrogen ion was transferred? Most of the

lies the beautiful Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport/Eglin Air Force Base or KVPS. Eglin Air Force base has a very renowned history dating back to the early ages of military flight. It is surrounded by the largest military installation in the Department of Defense‚ and nearly 134‚000 square miles of airspace. Eglin Air Force Base was established in 1935 as a testing facility for bomber and fighter aircraft. The Air Force Base is named after a very well-known pilot named Lieutenant Colonel Fredrick
