(Fe3+ ) form. Ferric form is not usually absorbed in the body. In the stomach‚ there is low pH of 2 due to presence of gastric acids such as Hydrochloric and Ascorbic acids. These acids provide an acidic environment for reduction of ferric iron to ferrous (Fe2+). Ferrous iron can be absorbed in the body system. As in following equation of iron (iii) reaction with Ascorbic acid ‚ the product is iron (ii) chloride which is soluble 2 Fe3+ (s) + C6 H8 O6 (aq) → 2 Fe2+ (aq) + C6 H6 O6 (aq) + 2 H (aq)+

Introducton : The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are carbohydrates ‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Briefly‚ the meaning of macromolecules is that they normally contain two or more molecules in them and their main functions are to store energy‚ information and much more. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. While some of these compounds can be detected by taste tests‚ many cannot. Scientists then use certain tests to determine the presence of

Purpose This experiment shows how different concentrations of acids and bases in a solution affect its pH level. When acids and bases are combined in a solution‚ they neutralize each other. This means that depending on the concentration of both acids and bases in a solution‚ the pH will vary. A neutral pH level is 7; anything below that level is known as an acidic solution‚ while anything above is known as a basic solution. To find out the pH‚ the solutions will be diluted and tested with different

Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the base. Preparation • Lab coats should

Names: Arian Karim TA Name: Sayantan Das Lab Day & Time: Thursday 7:30-11:40 Lab Section #: Abstract The main purpose of this experiment was to synthesize benzilic acid from benzoin. This requires a multistep synthesis with benzyl as an intermediate product. The first step required HNO3 as an oxidizing agent and the second step required KOH and HCl. The percentage yields of benzil and benzilic acid were 59.5% and 21

Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness 9/12/2013 Abstract: Two sets of acid-base neutralization titrations were conducted for experimental analysis. The first set of titrations was to standardize a solution manufactured in the lab. An approximate solution of Na2EDTA of 0.004 M was titrated against a known solution of 1.000 g CaCO3/L to deter mine to exact molarity of the Na2EDTA. Ca2+ + Na2EDTA → CaEDTA + 2Na+ The second set of titrations was to use the now standardized Na2EDTA
