Bases are substances that are in aqueous solution‚ are slippery to the touch‚ taste bitter‚ change the color of indicators Examples turn red litmus paper blue and react with acids to form salts‚ promote certain chemical reactions. General properties of a base are Concentrated or strong bases and are caustic on organic matter and react violently with acidic substances. Also bases can are bitter in taste. And the pH of a basic solution at standard conditions is greater than seven. Strong bases are

WATER OUR LIFELINE Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams‚ lakes‚ oceans and rain‚ and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound‚ a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica

Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries‚ even when the surrounding temperature varies and is of higher or lower temperature than what is normal. The purpose of thermoregulation is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body so as to maintain a relatively constant core temperature of approximately 36.7 degrees celsius. If this was unable to take place the body may not be able to functions properly and it could result in hypothermia

MATERIAL BALANCE GIVEN: TO DESIGN A 1000TPD CAPACITY H2SO4 ACID PLANT BASIS: 1 HOUR OF OPERATION. PURITY: PRODUCT WHICH IS TO BE MANUFACTURED IS ASSUMED TO HAVE STRENGTH OF 98% ACID. 1000TPD implies that we have Acid 1000 x 10 / 24 = 41666.67 Kg/Hr of 3 With 98% purity‚ the acid that is produced per hour = (98 x 41666.67) / 100 = 40833.34 Kg/Hr Kmoles of Sulfuric acid to be produced = 40833.34 / 98 = 416.667 Kmoles/Hr It’s assumed that overall absorption of the acid is 100 % = 416.667 / 1

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

in acid-base titrations Objectives 1. To understand the importance of choosing suitable indicators for detecting the end points of acid-base titrations. 2. To obtain titration curves for some acid-base titrations. Introduction Indicator is usually a weak organic acid or base that has distinctly different colours in its protonated and deprotonated forms. There are 4 types of acid-base titrations such as strong acid-weak base titration‚ weak acid-strong base titration‚ strong acid-strong

The role of the skin in maintenance of homeostasis The skin is the single largest organ that covers the entire surface of our body and consists of two layers mainly the epidermis and the dermis. Also beneath the dermis is the subcutaneous layer which is not part of the skin but separates the integument from muscles and bones‚ which will be included in the essay as tissue fibres are connected with those of the dermis. The main functions of the skin are protection of the tissues and organs that lie

The phenomenon of homeostasis is understood as the ability the body has to stabilise its internal environment despite the ever changing external conditions (Waterhouse‚ 2007). This internal environment is an atmosphere which surrounds the cells and is therefore the medium in which the cells are in direct contact with in the body (Sherwood‚ 2001). The internal environment is essential for cell survival because cells require a constant supply of oxygen and food which is exchanged from the external
