TITLE/PROBLEMS * Can peanut butter with seaweed extract be a main ingredient in making poisons for rats? * “Peanut-Weed Arsenic Poison” * “Peanut-Weed Rat Killer” RRS Why Do Poisons Matter? “Long after the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson’s book‚ Silent Spring‚ and the subsequent birth of the environmental movement‚ the days of concern over the effects of at-home and commercial pesticide use are long from over. Carson’s book described numerous environmental impacts of indiscriminate

concentrain of sulphuric acid Aim The point of this investigation is to find out the concentration of the sulphuric acid in my experiment. I will do this by titrating the sulphuric acid with sodium carbonate. H2SO4 + Na2CO3 à Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2 Acid + Alkali à Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide Ratio of sulphuric acid to sodium carbonate: H2SO4 : Na2CO3 1 : 1 Concentration of sulphuric acid: H2SO4 is approximately 0.05 - 0.15 moldm-3 The average concentration of the sulphuric acid is: 0.05 + 0.15 =

For my project‚ I had to create my own acid-base indicator and find out what happens when it is placed in an acidic solution (vinegar) and a basic solution (dissolved baking soda). I chose my indicator to be a fruit because fruits can be very effective at determining how acidic or basic a substance is. My fruit was a blueberry‚ but I couldn’t use raw blueberries because it’s not going to give me the best results. I had to make blueberry juice. I did this by placing several blueberries in a blender

Acid-Base Strengths of Organic Compounds By: Chris Frankmore Due Date: February 15‚ 2011 Resonance Benzenesulfonic Acid Benzoic Acid Benzyl Alcohol Benzylamine P-Cresol P-Toluidine Acid/Base | Structure | pH | Why It is a strong/weak acid/base | Benzenesulfonic Acid | | 1 | This is a strong acid because it has a pH of 1. Another reason why this is a strong acid is that its conjugate base has strong resonance stabilization

Abstract This experiment aimed to study the effect of various denaturants on albumin and casein protein extracts through viscosity measurements. 5 mL samples of native and denatured protein solutions were prepared‚ using -mercaptoethanol‚ urea and SDS as denaturants for albumin‚ and NaOH‚ NaCL‚ HCL‚ -mercaptoethanol‚ urea and SDS for casein. 5 mL blank solutions for each denaturant used were also prepared. The viscosity of the solutions were determined using Ostwald viscometer. ________

butanols with hydrobromic acid. Before the lab began we discussed and proposed mechanisms. (see “Mechanisms”) To begin this experiment we calculated how much of each material we were going to be using‚ and the numbers we chose to use differed from our reference text slightly. We used 6.5 mL of our assigned butanol and only 4 mL of sulfuric acid. Going back to our reaction mechanisms‚ we were looking at SN1 and SN2 reactions‚ so we of course used the hydrobromic acid as our acid catalyst which would be

effects that acid rain has or does not have on seed growth and germination. The observation gathered from this experiment was that regular rain water that has a neutral pH is a better solution for seed growth. The seeds that were watered with the well water prospered more than the ones grown in the lemon juice solution. The results from this experiment were a little confusing‚ because in the first trial the seeds watered with well water germinated more than the seeds watered with the acid rain solution

Case Study: Newsflash! Transport Proteins on Strike! 1. What is the meaning behind the PHOSPHOLIPIDS’ chant? Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane‚ in a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid molecules form two layers‚ with the hydrophilic (water loving) head facing the extracellular fluid and the cytosol (intracellular) fluid‚ and the hydrophobic (not water loving) tails facing one another. The cell membrane is constructed in such a way that it is semipermeable‚ and allows oxygen
