DETERMINATION OF FRUIT ACIDS BY TITRATION AND CALCULATION OF THE SUGAR/ACID RATIO It is the sugar/acid ratio which contributes towards giving many fruits their characteristic flavour and so is an indicator of commercial and organoleptic ripeness. At the beginning of the ripening process the sugar/acid ratio is low‚ because of low sugar content and high fruit acid content‚ this makes the fruit taste sour. During the ripening process the fruit acids are degraded‚ the sugar content increases and

Title: Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Objective: To prepare methyl-3-nitrobenzene from nitration of methyl benzoate. Results and calculations: Density = 1.094 g/ml = Mass of methyl benzoate = 1.094 g/ml x 2.8 ml = 3.0632 g no. of mol of methyl benzoate = = 0.022499 mol 1 mol of methyl benzoate produced 1 mol of methyl m-nitrobenzene. Therefore‚ 0.022499 mol of methyl benzoate produced 0.022499 mol of methl

Analysis: Force constant in springs Maria Loraine Menorca National Institute of Physics‚ University of the Philippines Diliman‚ Quezon City lorainemnrc@gmail.com Abstract This experiment aims to fully understand the analysis of possible errors in the measurement of the force constants in different spring systems. Springs can be utilized to store and release energy. According to Hooke’s Law‚ the response of a spring to external forces is characterized by the equation F = -kΔx. In this experiment‚ two springs

Investigating the effects of acid rain in the growth of cress seedlings IntroductionAcid rain is rain or any other form of precipitation‚ which is unusually acidic. It has harmful effects on plants‚ animals and buildings. Acid rain is mostly caused by human emissions of sulphur and nitrogen compounds which react in the atmosphere to produce acids. Acid rain can slow the growth of vulnerable forests and cause leaves and needles to turn brown and fall off. In addition‚ it depletes minerals from the

Melissa Carrithers AP Chemistry period 6 2-11-15 Determination of Ka of Weak Acids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the strength of weak acids by determining the equilibrium constants for their ionization reactions in water. Is to use their measured pH values to calculate the pKa for the two unknown weak acids thus determining their identities. Hypothesis: If we neutralize a solution that contains a weak acid by adding a strong base to the solution‚ then the ions will be isolated and

Determination of the Equilibrium Constant for Ferric Thiocyanate In this laboratory exercise‚ the equilibrium constant(Kc) for the reaction between the Ferric Ion (Fe3+) and the Thiocyanate Ion (SCN-) was determined. After measuring the absorbance of the Ferric Thiocyanate‚ and carrying out some calculations; it was determined that Kc=130.81M Introduction: Chemical equilibrium is established when a reaction exists in a state where the forward reaction rate is equal to its reverse reaction
