Ammonia and Hydrochloric Acid Lab Chemistry 1 Abstract The straw should be cut shorter to 8 cm in order to make the solid ring appear in the center of the straw. We achieved our goal‚ cutting the straw caused the gases to not have to go as far‚ and meet in the middle. Background The particles in a gas are very loose and tend to move around a lot very quickly. The particles in a solid are very compact and vibrate but don’t really move very much. The particles in a liquid however are more

The purpose of the experiment was to perform an electrophilic addition reaction by the bromination of cinnamic acid. The product of this reaction is 3-Phenyl-2‚3-dibromo propionic acid‚ which is purified by recrystallization. Cinnamic acid (3-phenylprop-2-enoic acid) is an unsaturated carboxylic acid. The electron rich π cloud (see Figure 1) in the double bond of this structure is nucleophilic and can be considered a Lewis base. It can therefore be saturated by the addition of a halogen to the double

up the rate of reaction without itself being used up in the process. Enzymes provide an alternate reaction pathway by lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur. For two molecules to react they must collide with each other‚ however‚ they have to collide with sufficient energy. Sufficient energy means that between them they have enough energy to overcome the energy barrier to reaction. This is called the activation energy. Even though enzymes can alter the rate of reaction‚ they

LAB 6. ACIDS AND BASES: PH AND BUFFERS PURPOSE: To determine the pH of common acids and bases using a pH meter‚ pH paper‚ and red cabbage indicator. To test the effect of adding an acid or base to a buffer solution. SAFETY CONCERNS: Always wear safety goggles. Wash with soap and water if skin contacts acids or bases. ACIDS: An Acid is a substance that when dissolved in water will produce hydrogen ions‚ H+‚ in the solution. An acid that does not contain carbon is called an inorganic

time it takes for the cross on the bottom of the beaker while the reaction is recurring to disappear. As it can be seen in the graph‚ the higher the temperature the shorter the time is for the Sulphur to be created. If it is looked as one continuous line‚ the first part of the trend line shows a steep‚ straight and constant decrease; then the 2nd part is not as steep and has a more gradual decline. Moreover‚ it shows how a reaction at 20°C a slower time for the cross to disappear compared to 40°C

How fast is your reaction? Part 1 – How temperature affect the rate of reaction Chemical equation Magnesium + hydrochloric acid → magnesium chloride + hydrogen Mg + 2HCL → MgCl2 + H2 Graph Conclusion and questions 1. What factors/variables did you keep the same in this experiment? * We kept the same volume of hydrochloric acid (10 cm3) and the magnesium ribbon (5cm) because that way we could get a fair test experiment. We also repeated

An investigation to compare the reaction rates between potato and hydrogen peroxide against liver and hydrogen peroxide through loss in mass. Background information: Catalase is an enzyme that is found in all cells. This means that it is an intracellular enzyme. And enzyme is a biological catalyst. A catalyst is some thing that speeds up a reaction without being changed itself. Because of this enzymes and catalysts can be used again and again. Enzymes are protein chains that have a primary‚ secondary

KNES 470 Dr Rubin 4-18-12 Sodium Bicarbonate and Boxing Performance Boxing is a sport which relies on anaerobic power since it contains short-duration and high intensity work. A typical boxing match today consists of 3 minute rounds with a 1 minute seated recovery rest. When an athlete performs exercise at maximal level for more than 30 seconds‚ most of the energy comes from anaerobic glycolysis. During this process‚ lactic acid is produced which causes a decrease in pH levels within the muscle

In the experiment‚ we tested a sodium chloride solution. Along with the tested solution‚ control groups (water and sodium phosphate) were used to be help understand whether or not NaCl was a buffer. Water was the negative control group and sodium phosphate was the positive control group. If NaCl was a buffer than the pH would be stabled as the sodium phosphate buffer. If NaCl was not a buffer than the pH would fluctuate like the negative control‚ water. During the first trial and prior to the drops
