Weak Acid Titration Abstract: Our method for determining the unknown weak acid was to determine the equilibrium constant K from the molecular weight of the weak acid from our titration data. In this lab the acid Potassium hydrogen phthalate and two unknown acids were titrated. We determined the molar mass of the Potassium hydrogen phthalate‚ for the unknown acids we calculated the molar mass and the Ka values. We used NaOH as the known base for titrating in all three of the titrations. Our

Objective: The objective of this experiment is to use acid-base extraction techniques to separate a mixture of organic compounds based on acidity and/or basicity. After the three compounds are separated we will recover them into their salt forms and then purify them by recrystallization and identify them by their melting points. Procedure: Extraction of Carboxylic Acid A pre-weighed (0.315g) mixture of Carboxylic acid‚ a phenol‚ and neutral substance was placed into a reaction tube (tube 1)

microfuge tube. Place this tube directly into liquid N2 to freeze plant tissue. 2) Remove tubes from the liquid N2 and quickly grind the plant tissue with a pestle. Add 300 L of Methanol 1%HCl and continue to grind the plant tissue. Allow extraction to occur overnight in a dark refrigerator. 3) Add 200 L Milli-Q H20 to each tube. Next‚ go to the fume hood and add 500 L of chloroform to each tube. Spin the tubes in a centrifuge set at the highest rpm for 2-5 minutes. 4) Return to

Lab 12: Titration of Acetic Acid in Vinegar Abstract: To lesarn how to titrate chemicals in a lab. Also to be able to determine the concentration of an acetic acid solution. Purpose: To learn how to titrate‚ and calulate the concentration of an acetiuc acid solution. In this case the concentration of vinegar‚ which is diluted acetic acid. Hypothesis: The sodium hydroxide used in this titration would balance out the acetic acid in vinegar. The phenolpthalein‚ a acid –base color indicator

Application of lactic acid bacteria There are four major categories for the current uses and applications of LAB: food‚ cosmetic‚ pharmaceutical‚ and chemical applications. In food industry Recent years the interest increased in using LAB by using bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) because of their potential use as a natural antimicrobial agent to enhance the food safety of food products and increase the nutritional values of the food. Foods that fermented by LAB such as cheese‚ kimchi

Calorimeter and of the Enthalpy of an Acid-Base Reaction Abstract The purpose of this lab was to first‚ determine the specific heat capacity of a homemade calorimeter‚ and second‚ to calculate the enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction between 6M KOH and 6M HNO3. To determine the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter‚ two differing temperatures of water were measured and volume was measured and mixed within the calorimeter. The enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction was found by

Acetylsalicylic Acid/Aspirin and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) Ethanimidate/Acetaminophen respectively from Excedrin. The first reaction scheme to undergo acid-base organic extraction was to isolate the most acidic compound in Excedrin with a weak base‚ K2HPO4. We isolated the aspirin using aqueous base extraction‚ with Dipotassium phosphate then treated with HCl to force acidification. The mechanism for Scheme 1 is shown below: The second reaction scheme we used was also an organic acid-base extraction involving

There has been much debate in recent years among politicians‚ military officials‚ and civilians on whether or not the U.S. should be fully withdrawn from Afghanistan‚ regardless of the country’s economic and military capabilities. There has also been a proposed timetable‚ which President Obama says is in effect and currently being executed‚ to have up to ninety percent of our military personnel out of the country by no later than 2014. It is imperative that we extract our forces out of Afghanistan

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
