Acid-Base Titration Background Information A titration is a controlled addition of one substance into another substance. In an acid-base titration‚ the experimenter will add a base of known concentration to an acid of unknown concentration (or vice-versa). The goal of the titration is usually to use the substance of known concentration to determine the concentration of the other substance. In order to run a titration‚ the following materials are needed: • A buret filled with the base (or acid) of

EXTRACTION OF BENZOIC ACID‚ 2-NAPHTHOL‚ AND NAPHTHALENE FROM UNKNOWN SAMPLE # 131 Douglas G. Balmer (T.A. Mike Hall) Dr. Dailey Submitted 11 July 2007 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a sample of benzoic acid‚ 2- naphthol‚ and naphthalene of unknown proportions using a two-base extraction method. The three components of the mixture will react differently to sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide because each of the bases’ conjugate acids has a different pKa. The

Exploring the acid content of Pepsi products Lab performed: February 27‚ 2012‚ March 12‚ 2012‚ and March 19‚ 2012 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to discover the unknown concentration of acid in six different Pepsi products; Pepsi‚ Diet Pepsi‚ Dr. Pepper‚ Diet Dr. Pepper‚ Pepsi Wild Cherry‚ and Pepsi Max. Titrations find the point at which equal moles of a known concentration react with equal moles of an unknown concentration giving the equivalence point. Also‚ the

How Acetylsalicylic Acid was Discovered Acetylsalicylic Acid in its earliest form was a powder for the bark and leaves of the willow tree. Hippocrates‚ who lived sometime between 460 B.C. and 377 B.C‚ founded it. This “Miracle Drug” that was able to relieve pains was later looked into with further detail by Johann Buchner. He isolated a tiny amount of bitter tasting yellow‚ need- like crystals‚ and called salicin. By 1829 French Chemist Henri Leroux had improved the extraction procedure to

The Effects of Acid Rain on Plant Growth PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment was to determine to what degree acid rain affects the growth of certain plants. I became interested in this idea because I’m worried about our environmental conditions and it sounded very interesting to me. The information gained from this experiment may be used to as a warning to stop air pollution. HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the plant watered with the acid solution will grow more slowly than plant’s
