An Experiment to find the Concentration of a Sample of Acid Rain Plan Aim When a metal is extracted from its ore often sulphur dioxide is produced. When sulphur dioxide is dissolved in water it forms a strong acid called sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid is often sold as a useful by-product‚ but also gets into the water cycle and forms acid rain. In this experiment‚ I have been given a sample acid rain of concentration between 0.05 mol dm-3 and 0.15 mol dm-3 and my aim is to find out exactly what

isomers of α-phenylcinnamic acid. This was accomplished by refluxing benzaldehyde‚ phenylacetic acid‚ acetic anhydride and triethylamine as a base. The chemical equation of a Perkin Reaction can be seen below. The reaction mechanism for the synthesis of α-phenylcinnamic acid is shown below: Results: Theoretical Yield Therefore‚ phenylacetic acid is the limiting reagent. Table 1.

investigate mainly the process of digestion in the stomach. The conditions at which the enzymes responsible for the digestion process were determined. Also‚ the total and free acidity of gastric juice of the sample were calculated. The procedure was divided into three main parts: (1) peptic digestion‚ (2) rennin test and (3) gastric analysis. Separate preparations were made in each part. In analysis of peptide digestion‚ determination of the presence of polypeptide chains and the extent of digestion through

hydrochloric acid will be effected if we change the concentration of hydrochloric acid. Introduction In the experiment the magnesium reacts with the hydrochloric acid to create magnesium chloride and hydrogen. The balanced formula for this is: Mg(s) + 2HCL(aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) Magnesium + hydrochloric acid Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Magnesium will react with hydrochloric acid‚ because it is higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen. The magnesium displaces the hydrogen in the acid‚ so it forms

Global Bio Succinic Acid Market published at Truemarketresearch.com The U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) considers succinic acid as one among the top twelve chemical building blocks. Succinic acid‚ as a platform chemical‚ is growing in demand in various applications. However‚ consumption of petroleum based succinic acid‚ as an intermediate‚ in manufacturing various chemicals‚ is limited due to its volatility of price and carbon footprints. These concerns led to the discovery of biological manufacturing

Acid rain is any type of precipitation that has high acid content. This precipitation can be wet (rain‚ snow‚ or fog) or dry (gases or acidic salts). Normal rain is slightly acidic with pH 6.5 but we call it acid rain when it is pH is between 2 and 5.5. It is formed by chemicals created by the burning of fossil fuels‚ power plants‚ factories and auto mobiles. These chemicals are sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide. Sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide react with water in the atmosphere and eventually fall

How to Reduce Lactic Acid Build up in Muscles Understanding Lactic AcidReducing Lactic Acid During a WorkoutReducing Lactic Acid Through Your Diet Edited by LC108‚ BR‚ Jacob‚ Vahab2121 and 5 others Lactic acid is released into the muscles when they have used up their normal energy stores but still have intense energy needs. Small amounts of lactic acid operate as a temporary energy source‚ thus helping you avoid fatigue during a workout. However‚ a build up of lactic acid during a workout can
