I. Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the pH values of acids‚ bases‚ and buffers of distilled water and 10.0 buffer using measured concentrations of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and/or Hydrochloric acid (HCl). Acid is a compound typically having a bitter taste and capable of nullifying alkalis and releases hydrogen ion when added to a solution‚ or containing an atom that can accept a pair of electrons from a base (McKinley‚ Dean O’Loughlin‚ & Stouter Bidle‚ 2016). Bases are water-soluble

The conventional method was conducted by placing 2.0641 grams of salicylic acid in a dry 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. In a fume hood‚ 4 mL of acetic anhydride and 5 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid were added to the flask. The contents were swirled in the flask and then heated for 20 minutes in a hot water bath. After the 20 minutes were up‚ 10 mL of cold water were added in 1 mL increments. The flask was cooled for 10 minutes and occasionally stirred. The crystals that formed were collected via filtration

Lay Public (FINAL draft) Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids In the rush to cut calories‚ reduce cholesterol intake‚ and avoid saturated fats‚ many of us have embraced low-fat diets and low-fat foods. But some fats are necessary and "essential" for health. These fats show great promise for fighting the onslaught of heart disease and diabetes‚ possibly even cancer. What are these "good" fats—and how do we get enough of them? The benefits of Omega 3 fats have been researched for quite some time and

is not in the normal blood pH‚ the person can fall sick and it might be harm to the person. The maintenance of blood pH is called acid-base homeostasis. Acid-base homeostasis is a complex synergy that involving lungs‚ kidneys and a buffer chemical in blood and blood cells. BACKGROUND A substance that has high concentration of hydrogen ion in solution is called acid and solution that has low concentration of hydrogen ion is base. Base

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

benzoic acid mixture was measured to be 2.075 grams. Following being dried for a week the mass of benzocaine was recorded to be 0.250 grams‚ and benzoic acid was recorded to be 0.600 grams. The melting point range of benzocaine was measured to be 89.5°C-91.5°C‚ while benzoic acid’s melting point range was measured to be 129°C-131.3°C. The percent mass recovered was calculated to be 40.96% for the experiment. Table 1 illustrates the collected information. Starting Mass of Benzocaine/Benzoic Acid: 2.075

By: Jayquan S Salmond Out of all the amino acids‚ 8 are classified as essential amino acids. The body finds it hard to combine them with other compounds at a normal level to assist in adequate growth. The 8 are known as phenylalanine‚ valine‚ threonine‚ tryptophan‚ isoleucine‚ methionine‚ leucine‚ and lysine. When the isoleucine‚ leucine‚ and valine are grouped they are called BCAA or branched-chain amino acids. 1/3 of the body’s skeletal muscles are made up of BCAA. Skeletal muscles are

Fermented food‚ enjoyed across the globe‚ conveys health benefits through lactic acid fermentation. The fermentation process can transform the flavor of food from the plain and mundane to a mouth-puckering sourness enlivened by colonies of beneficial bacteria and enhanced micronutrients. While fermented food like yogurt‚ sauerkraut and kefir are well-known many other lesser-known foods also benefit from the lactic acid fermentation process. Indeed‚ virtually every food with a complex or simple sugar

Abstract Acid Rain has a lot of effects on living organisms and on the environment. This experiment has two purposes. One is to determine the acidity of rainwater in certain areas in the Philippines. Another purpose is to determine which type of area-urban or rural- is more subjected to acid rain. The experiment was done by first collecting rainwater from selected rural and urban areas. After the collection was done‚ the rainwater samples were tested using a pH meter. The results of the pH test
