In this experiment‚ a solution was extracted containing a known amount of benzoic acid in water with methylene chloride‚ an organic solvent. The amount of leftover acid was determined through the titration of the aqueous‚ not the organic‚ solution with basic NaOH. This allowed the student to calculate and determine the Kd value of both

How do we become who we are? How much do we control? When do we start becoming who we are? These fundamental questions about human life have motivated research in the natural and social sciences for generations. In the past couple of decades in particular‚ economics and other fields have been ramping up research to those questions to discover the origins of how we become who we are (Paul‚ 2010; Barker‚ 1990). This paper is similarly motivated to help answer those questions. It looks at the relationship
