In this report‚ I will explain what Sulfuric Acid is‚ the health risks and hazards associated with it‚ the safety precautions that should be taken and how the spill should be handled. Sulfuric Acid‚ H2SO4‚ also commonly known as battery acid or vitriol‚ is one of the top products in the chemical industry‚ with 40 million tons produced annually in the U.S. It is a colourless‚ odourless and oily mineral acid that is soluble

PRODUCTION OF CITRIC ACID Introduction: Citric acid is a White solid‚C3H4OH(COOH)3‚soluble in water and slightly soluble in organic solvents‚ which melts at 153 oC. Aqueous solutions of citric acid are slightly more acidic than solutions of acetic acid. Traces of citric acid are found in numerous plants and animals‚ because it is a nearly universal intermediate product of metabolism. Large amount of the acid are found in the juice of citrus fruits‚ from which it is precipitated by the

ACID BASE IMBALENCE INTRODUCTION The body normally maintains a steady balance between acids‚ produced during metabolism and bases that neutralize and promote the excretion of the acids.Many health problems may lead to acid base imbalance.Patients with Diabetis mellitus ‚COPD‚and kidney disease frequently frequently develop acid base imbalences. Vomiting and diarrhea may also cause acid base imbalance.The kidneys are an essential buffer system for

and oxygen produced by the potatoes catalase reacting with hydrogen peroxide) was a kind of indicator of how the reaction was going. It almost indirectly related to the temperature increase‚ because every time the temperature was rising there also seemed to be foam also rising at the top of the hydrogen peroxide. As you can compare when the temperature started rising in my tests‚ my observations would also have a correlation to the foam produced by the catalase.

STANDARDIATION OF ACID AND BASE Eunice Ivy B. Gamboa ABSTRACT Solutions of known concentration are prepared by dissolving measured masses of standard acids in distilled water. The concentrations of unknown solutions of sodium hydroxide are determined by titration. An acid solution reacts with a base solution in a "neutralization" reaction. Titrations permit the concentrations of unknown acids/bases to be determined with a high degree of accuracy. In order to analyze unknown acids/bases‚ we must have

lab‚ caproic acid was synthesized in a multi-step process that involved the synthesis of three intermediates – diethyl n-butylmalonate‚ potassium n-butylmalonate‚ and n-butyl malonic acid respectively. An IR was used to characterize the starting material‚ n-bromobutane‚ and the first intermediate‚ diethyl n-butylmalonate; while IR and NMR were used to characterize the final product‚ caproic acid. Reactions‚ Mechanism and Theory Caproic acid a.k.a n-hexanoic acid is a carboxylic acid derived from

Introduction Extraction is a purification technique used in organic chemistry to separate compounds from a mixture of two or more compounds. There are three different extraction techniques: liquid-liquid extraction‚ solid-liquid extraction and chemically active extraction. All three types of extraction follow the same principle. Organic molecules dissolve in organic solvents and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solvents. This phenomenon is observed because of the intermolecular forces between

Acid-Base Extraction: Separation of an Organic Acid‚ Base and a Neural Compound Introduction/Background Acid base extraction is a widely used commercial method in separating acids‚ bases and neutral compounds. This is concept is based on several physical properties of the compounds‚ such as boiling point‚ melting points and solubility. The different solubility properties of the protonated and non-protonated forms of these compounds depend on the functional groups present‚ such
