Effects of Citric Acid on the Viscoelasticity of Cornstarch Pastes MADOKA HIRASHIMA‚ RHEO TAKAHASHI‚ AND KATSUYOSHI NISHINARI* Department of Food and Human Health Sciences‚ Graduate School of Human Life Science‚ Osaka City University‚ Sumiyoshi‚ Osaka 558-8585‚ Japan The effects of citric acid on the rheological properties of cornstarch pastes were studied by steady shear and dynamic oscillatory viscoelasticity‚ intrinsic viscosity measurements and microscopic observation. The pH of cornstarch

Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic‚ i.e. elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals‚ and infrastructure through the process of wet deposition. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive

Acids‚ Bases‚ and Buffers Introduction: The pH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is‚ ranging from 1-14. The most acidic of all acids are at a pH level of 1 and the most basic of all bases are at 14. The neutral pH level is 7‚ which is what drinking water is. The pH level is determined by the amount of H+ ions present in a solution‚ and the more H+ ions there are the more acidic it is‚ and the lack of these ions results in more basic solutions. One distinguishing feature

Lab Report: Acid-Base Titration Brianna Morrison Chemistry 111 October 11‚ 2010 Aim: To standardize a solution of the base sodium hydroxide using oxalic acid dihydrate as primary standard acid. Also to determine the amount of sodium hydroxide it takes to titrate a weighted sample of an unknown acid. Procedure: As outlined in instructions provided‚ no changes were made to the procedure. Data: Part A: Trial 1: Amount of H C O 2H O: 0.96 g Buret before titration: 3.6

water petri dish grew so well it started to lift the lid off the dish. The results from the Acid Rain (50% vinegar solution) did not allow any radish seeds to germinate. There were never signs of seed germination while observing the seeds over a three week period. In the petri dish labeled Acid Rain‚ 0 out of 10 seeds sprouted into plant growth as seen in Figure 5.2. The results from the effects of acid rain are compared on Figures 5.1 and 5.2.

Sodium thiosulfate is safe to handle and store‚ but if it is mixed with an acid‚ a reaction happens. When dilute sodium thiosulfate is mixed with an acid‚ solid sulphur is made‚ which makes the solution appear cloudy. The reaction also makes small amounts of toxic sulphur dioxide gas. You will choose one factor and investigate this factor’s effect on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulfate and dilute hydrochloric acid. A colorimeter is a device used in colorimetry that generally refers to

Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives Ma. Marielle M. Medura Prof. Emma Boncales Chem 23A (TTH 01:00-4:00 p.m) Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives I. Introduction Carboxylic acids is an organic compound that contains a carboxylic group(-COOH). Its general formula is R-C=OOH with R referring to the rest of the molecule such as H and C. They are directly attached to a carbonyl group and the interaction between them affects the reactions of each. The polarity of the O-H bond

Identifying sites of protein synthesis in Chlamydomonas using erythromycin and cyclohexamide as protein synthesis inhibitors. October 16‚ 2009 Introduction: In living cells‚ prokaryotic or eukaryotic‚ the synthesis (construction) of proteins is accomplished by similar machinery. Amino acids‚ ribosomes‚ messenger RNA (mRNA)‚ and transfer RNA (tRNA)‚ are all necessary for the building of functional proteins in a cell. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis in a cell‚ and there are two
