Acids‚ Bases‚ and pH Lab In this lab the testing of whether or not a substance was an acid or a base occurred. Each substance was tested with the indicators red litmus paper‚ blue litmus paper‚ pH paper‚ phenolthalein‚ bromthymol blue‚ and phenol red. While the substances were tested the group noticed that the substances tested with the red and blue litmus paper‚ the phenolthatein‚ bronthmol blue were the easiest to interpret. The color changes that occurred when this indicator was put into a substance

Acid Rain Air pollution is one of the most common outcomes of the combustion of fossil fuels. A common air pollutant that is released is sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. This is because when coal and fuels obtained from crude oil are burned‚ sulpur and nitrogen is released into the atmosphere‚ which is eventually joint with the oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. When these gases are emitted in sufficient quantities‚ it reacts with the water and oxygen in the atmosphere

1.) Explain why the following substances are added to soil by gardeners and farmers. a.) Lime CaO It increases the pH of soil.Soil that is too acidic presents two different problems for crops. First‚ the amount of necessary minerals in the soil such as potassium and calcium decreases. Second‚ aluminum and manganese levels increase to potentially toxic levels below a pH of roughly 5.5.Calcium oxide‚ addresses the problem. It reacts in water to release calcium ions and hydroxide ions‚ which raise

Many people to assume that once the Holocaust had ended‚ and survivors began to rebuild their lives‚ that their pain would disappear. Right? Wrong. The Holocaust was an appalling crime committed by the Nazis in Germany from 1933 to May of 1945. It was the mass execution of six million Jews by the Nazis and their supporters. The concentration camps set up by the Nazis‚ to house the many Jewish prisoners‚ were liberated in 1994 and 1945. Many of the prisoners were alive‚ but emaciated and disease

Name: Citric acid Chemical Name: 2-hydroxypropane-1‚2‚3-tricarboxylic acid Chemical Formula: C6H8O7 Chemical Structure: pH: 4.18‚ 3.90‚ 3.57 Classification: Weak acid Uses: It is a natural preservative/conservative and is also used to add an acidic or sour taste to foods and drinks. It is also used mainly as an acidifier‚ as a flavoring‚ and as a chelating agent. Name: Vinegar acid Chemical Name: Acetic acid or ethanoic acid Chemical Formula: C2H4O2 Chemical Structure:

to comment on the carbon footprint of plastic grocery bags during its life cycle‚ I should first explain what does the carbon footprint term stand for‚ I would take the definition given in the textbook of this course‚ "The carbon footprint is the total emissions of CO2‚ more specifically greenhouse gases as CO2‚ equivalent (CO2e)‚ that is generated by individual‚ organization‚ event‚ product or process over its life-cycle". Knowing what the carbon footprint means now‚ I know that for discussing the

________________________ Internal Assessment Criteria Aspect 1 Aspect 2 Aspect 3 Total DCP CE Aim: The aim of this practical is to plot and investigate the pH titration curves for the titration of a strong acid with a strong base and of a weak acid with a strong base‚ and find Ka of the weak acid. Procedure: Part I 1. Pour 30 ml of the HCl solution of unknown concentration in a 100 ml beaker. 2. Add a stirring magnet. 3. Place the beaker on the magnetic heater and activate the rotating motor but not

Sleep Cycle You may be surprised to learn that we still don’t fully understand why people need to sleep and what purpose sleep serves. Doctors and researchers had thought many years ago that sleep was a single state of being that was distinguished from waking. However‚ we now know that sleep itself is divided into two distinctly different states: REM‚ or rapid eye movement sleep‚ and non-REM sleep. Non-REM sleep is the state of sleep entered when we first start to doze off. Non-REM sleep state

In this lab‚ we changed copper into various forms using different chemicals and chemical reactions. The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate that the product of a chemical reaction depends on what is present at the time of that reaction. This lab also displays how matter cannot be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. In a lab‚ you must always make safety a priority in case of an emergency. In our lab‚ we made sure to wear closed-toed shoes as well as goggles at all times. We also performed

The Cell Cycle Mitosis: the process by which cells reproduce themselves‚ resulting in daughter cells that contain the same amount of genetic material as the parent cell. Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis Cell Division Occurs in a series of stages of phases Interphase occurs before mitosis begins Chromosomes are copied (# doubles) Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils (chromatin) at the start‚ but each chromosome and its copy(sister chromosome) change to sister
