DETERMINATION OF FRUIT ACIDS BY TITRATION AND CALCULATION OF THE SUGAR/ACID RATIO It is the sugar/acid ratio which contributes towards giving many fruits their characteristic flavour and so is an indicator of commercial and organoleptic ripeness. At the beginning of the ripening process the sugar/acid ratio is low‚ because of low sugar content and high fruit acid content‚ this makes the fruit taste sour. During the ripening process the fruit acids are degraded‚ the sugar content increases and

Evaluation of gel A. pH: The pH of the various gel formulations was determined by using digital pH meter. B. Appearance: -The prepared gel bases were inspected visually for clarity‚ colour and presence of any particles. C. Homogeneity: All developed gels were tested for homogeneity by visual inspection after the gels have been set in the container. They were tested for their appearance and presence of any aggregates. D. Skin irritation test: Test for irritation was performed on human volunteers.

Lab Report Acids and Alkalis: Chemistry of Neutralization and Salt Formation Introduction: An acid is a group of chemicals. Acids are positively charged ions‚ they are liquid and are solutions of pure compounds in water. If you want to know if something is an acid‚ you can test it by using litmus paper. Acids will turn litmus paper red‚ whilst alkalis will turn it blue. Alkalis are negatively charged ions and are usually solid. Aim: To find out how much of different acids is needed to neutralize

Who’s been cheating on the vinegar? Aim: To investigate if the vinegars have been diluted by working out their concentrations. Scientific Background: Vinegar is an acid and there fore can be neutralised by an alkali. Acid + Alkali à salt + water Hydrochloric acid + Sodium Hydroxide à Sodium chloride + water Vinegar is a weak acid and therefore it only partially ionises in solution. CH3COOH ßà CH3COO- + H+ An alkali such as Sodium Hydroxide has a formula NaOH. If the alkali

10.1 COMMON ACIDS and ALKALIS in DAILY LIFE A. ACIDS 1) In our daily life‚ there are many foods‚ drinks and flavourings that taste sour. e.g. yoghurt’ lemons and vinegar. 2) They taste sour because they contain acids‚ which give the sour taste. e.g. Yoghurt contains lactic acid. Lemons contain citric acid. Vinegar contains ethanoic acid. 3) Many household cleaners and personal care products also contain acids. e.g. Toilet bowl cleaners contain hydrochloric acid. Some body lotions

FINAL REPORT Problem Statement This investigation was carried out between 8:08am and 11:41pm on Saturday 12th October in order to determine the water quality along the North Coast of Trinidad. This is an area that supports a lot of tourist activities as well as fishing village sites which contributes to the overall viability of the economy and society. It is therefore necessary to determine the presence of pollutants that may affect these two activities and determine whether or not it is safe for

Procedure: Day 1: Buffer preparation First‚ the buffer was prepared by using the formula as follows: Figure 1: Calculation for prepare 0.5 M Tris buffer at pH 6.8 3.033 g of Tris was weighed and placed in 400 mL beaker. Then‚ 25 mL of distilled water was added into the beaker that contained Tris. The mixture was dissolved using the stirring rod‚ and then the magnetic stirring bar was placed in the beaker for further dissolve when measuring the pH. The pH meter was used to measure the solution
