Premium Arterial blood gas Bicarbonate Oxygen
are chemicals that the body releases into the blood stream to help maintain a healthy pH level. Carbon dioxide (CO2) acts as an acid by donating hydrogen ions when needed and forms carbonic acid when it dissolves in water. Carbonic acid bicarbonate is important for maintaining an acid base balance in the blood as it equalizes the pH (7.5) of the blood. All body fluids have buffers that defend the body against pH changes. A process that affects buffers in the blood is exercise. The muscles require

Objective: Learning how to Prepare Buffers of Various pH levels and Preparation of Acetate Buffer. Introduction A buffer is a solution having the capacity to resist changes in pH levels. Mostly a buffer consists of a weak acid and a salt of strong base or a weak base and a conjugate salt of strong acid e.g. acetate buffer is the most common buffer in which equimolar mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate solution is used. CH3COOH CH3 COO - + H+ CH3COONa CH3COO - + Na+ Buffers are

Report on the distribution of slaters in different level of soil pH Introduction Slater (woodlouse)‚ Biological name Porcellio scaber‚ is probably the most common species in New Zealand. They belong to the biological class Crustacea. Their size is about 17mm in length. They have rough exoskeleton and usually in dark grey colour. They have 7 pairs of legs‚ each pair is attached to the underneath of each thorax segment. Their body consists into three sections: head‚ thorax and abdomen‚ these are

amino acid through acid-base titrations which was prepared in water to form an acidic solution. Each group prepared unknown amino acid hydrochloride. The pre-prepared basic solution was slowly added to the amino acid solution and pH change was closely observed using the pH meter. During these titrations the amino acid converted from cation to zwitterion to anion; zwitterion is an amino acid with a net charge of zero. The identity of the unknown amino acid was determined by establishing a titration

units of the pH scale and be able to distinguish between acid‚ base‚ and neutral compounds using the pH scale. Q8-1: What is something with a pH of 8? Q-8-2: A pH of 6 or lower results in what kind of compound? Concept 9: Understand Kw and its relationship to the ionization of water. Understand the relationship between [OH-] and the [H+] or [H3O+] in acidic and basic solutions. Q-9-1: Determine how many more times more basic the first pH is versus the second pH pH of 5 vs. pH of 3 Q-9-2:

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to be able to apply our knowledge of chemistry to identify 10 unknown elements that were presented to us. We were allowed to use Bunsen burners‚ hydrochloric acid‚ use PH paper to test if the unknown solution is an acid or a base‚ and precipitate each unknown solution with each other. Procedure / Data / Conclusions: Unknown #1: I found solution 1 to be KI. While doing the precipitate reactions‚ I found that it precipitates

of the chemical composition of cells is the pH of their environment. Most cells operate in a narrow pH range. That is‚ pH values above or below a certain value may cause a cell distress or may even be fatal. To help maintain relatively constant pH levels‚ living systems use buffers. A buffer is a combination of a weak acid and a weak base that function together to minimize changes in the pH of a solution. In today’s lab‚ we will learn how to measure pH and demonstrate how buffers work. II) Procedure

The results and observations of this experiment proved (a) the occurrence of the common ion effect through the determination of pH and titration and (b) how minimal the change in the pH of a buffer solution is upon the addition of a strong base and a strong acid.
