Acid Rain and its Effects On Our Aquatic Ecosystems In the past century‚ one of the greatest threats to North America ’s aquatic ecosystem has been the widespread acidification of hundreds of thousands of waterways. Acid rain has effected plant and animal life within aquatic ecosystems‚ as well as microbiologic activity by affecting the rates of decomposition and the accumulation of organic matter. What causes this poisonous rain‚ and what can be done to improve North America ’s water quality

Experiment #04: Synthesis of Salicylic Acid from Wintergreen Oil I. Introduction and Purpose Until 1874 commercial salicylic acid was synthesized entirely from natural wintergreen oil. In this experiment the salicylic acid is reproduced using methyl salicylate‚ the major constituent of wintergreen oil and later compared to salicylic acid made from benzene. The purpose of this lab is to determine the difference between salicylic acid made from methyl salicylate and salicylic acid made from benzene

Neutralising in everyday life In life we use the neutralising method a lot to help us in everyday tasks. Here are a few examples of neutralisation. Farming On farms the soil may sometimes become acidic. In these cases plants will not grow and they need to neutralise the soil for they’re farming. Limestone is commonly used for neutralising soil; it is a sedimentary rock that is commonly found in quarries. It is a compound consisting of calcium‚ carbon and oxygen called calcium carbonate (CaCO3)

The average contents (±SD) of kaurenoic acid in the Araliae Continentalis Radix extract powder were estimated as 1.147±0.008 mg in 1.0054 g‚ usual dose of Araliae Continentalis Radix. Quantification of kaurenoic acid UPLC–MS/MS has been emerging as a powerful analytical technique for the determination of analyte in biological samples to improve sensitivity and selectivity. Herein‚ we developed a simple‚ selective‚ and sensitive bioanalytical UPLC-MS/MS method for the quantification of kaurenoic

Two metal bars of an unknown identity were obtained‚ each bar was understood to have varying masses and volumes. The metal bars were then measured for their masses‚ bar one was measured at 19.3221g and bar 2 was measured at 15.6225g respectively. A graduated cylinder of 10 or 25 milliliters was obtained‚ in our testings‚ the 10 milliliters was used. Water was introduced into the graduated cylinder and the initial volume recorded at 4.9mL for bar one‚ and for bar two the cylinder was recorded to have

Identifying Pb+2: 1) Took 2mL of my unknown solution and added 2 drops of HCl and got white ppt which correlates with the positive control. 2) Centrifuged the ppt and soln‚ then discarded soln and washed ppt and centrifuged again. 3) I added 2mL of H2O‚ put the test tube in the hot water bath and stirred for 3 minute with a stirring rod. 4) I then decanted the solution into another test tube. 5) I added one drop of 6M acetic acid and 3 drops of 1M K2CrO4‚ which formed a positive confirmation where

Does it look like a pure substance or a mixture? How many components appear to be present? Tests on original sample Flame Test Bushy yellow‚ orange flame – Na+ is present and possibly K+ and NH4+. Pink-purple flame – K+ is present and Na+ is not. (Possibly NH4+) No color or faint trace Na+ - NH4+ is possible‚ K+ and Na+ are

In this lab we tested the purity of water by looking for the chemicals free chlorine‚ chloride‚ sulfate‚ nitrate‚ copper‚ total hardness‚ iron‚ hydrogen sulfide‚ lead‚ pesticides‚ pH‚ total alkalinity‚ and total chlorine inside a water sample. The chemicals that produced a 0.0 result meant that there was no trace of that chemical inside the sample. The chemicals not found were copper‚ hydrogen sulfide‚ free chlorine‚ lead‚ iron‚ pesticide‚ and total chlorine. As a class we found the results of
