Biotechnology‚ Mapua Institute of Technology ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ solubility class of various organic compounds are to be determined. The main objective of the experiment is to identify an unknown compound through the use of preliminary tests such as examination of physical state‚ color‚ odor‚ and ignition properties. Also‚ solubility tests were used to further examine an unknown compound’s solubility class. In this experiment‚ the apparatus used are micro test tubes and droppers for mixing

Tablets I. Introduction An acid-base titration is a method of neutralizing strong acids. Unbeknownst to many‚ acid-base titrations occur on a daily basis. Our stomachs use acid to help us digest our food – approximately .155 hydrochloric acid (HCl) with a pH of 2-3. When too much of this acid is formed in the stomach‚ heartburn and other discomfort occurs. This is when people grab for their antacids; these are bases that neutralize the excess acid in the stomach. Calcium carbonate

Synthesis of benzilic acid from benzoin utilizing a multi-step reaction. 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

Title: What is the effect of concentration of acid on the rate of diffusion in agar blocks? Aim: To investigate how the concentration affects the rate of diffusion of hydrochloric acid through agar blocks Research Question: To determine how will different concentrations (0.1M‚ 0.2M‚ 0.3M‚ 0.4M‚ 0.5M) of hydrochloric acid affect the rate of diffusion of sodium chloride through agar blocks? Introduction-include prediction; information you have researched before Diffusion refers to the passive movement

Investigating the Ratio Between Poly-Vinyl Alcohol and Sodium Borate to form a Bouncing Ball Timothy English Gen. Chem. 1 Lab Section: 009 Introduction: Poly-Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer that will be used as one element to form the well know bouncing ball‚ along with Sodium Borate (borax)‚ which has a variety of uses because of its weak base. PVA is ideal for this experiment because it is odorless‚ nontoxic‚ has high tensile strength and flexibility. The

Kinetics Factors Affecting Reaction Rate OVERVIEW Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment you will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: nature of reactants - particle size temperature concentration catalysts According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction. However‚ in order for the collisions

Amino Acids Glycine is the smallest of the amino acids. It is ambivalent‚ meaning that it can be inside or outside of the protein molecule. In aqueous solution at or near neutral pH‚ glycine will exist predominantly as the zwitterion. Alanine is a hydrophobic molecule. It is ambivalent‚ meaning that it can be inside or outside of the protein molecule. The α carbon of alanine is optically active; in proteins‚ only the L-isomer is found. Serine differs from alanine in that one of the methylenic

Separation of Amino Acids by Paper Chromatography Chromatography is a common technique for separating chemical substances. The prefix “chroma‚” which suggests “color‚” comes from the fact that some of the earliest applications of chromatography were to separate components of the green pigment‚ chlorophyll. You may have already used this method to separate the colored components in ink. In this experiment you will use chromatography to separate and identify amino acids‚ the building blocks of proteins

Acid-Base Titrations A Titration of Potassium Hydroxide Phthalate and Sodium Hydroxide Hanna Piper Department of Chemistry‚ SUNY College at Brockport‚ Brockport‚ NY 14420 Chemistry 205.06 Abstract Titrations are used to find the molarity of an unknown solution. A titration begins with an analyte and titrant being used to measure the unknown molarity of the analyte. In the following experiment‚ sodium hydroxide was used as the titrant and potassium hydroxide phthalate was used as the

Chemistry Research Paper What is an anti acid? According to Cindy Quarters (2010)‚ “Antacids are medicines that are taken orally to help relieve sour stomach‚ heartburn‚ or acid indigestion”. This medicine is available without prescription but it is needed to take the correct dose. The different types of anti acids include calcium carbonate‚ sodium bicarbonate‚ magnesium hydroxide‚ aluminum hydroxide‚ and dihydroxyaluminum sodium carbonate. The cost of the anti acid will depend on how effective it is‚
