1.0 Title Determination of Protein Content Using Kjedahl and Titration 2.0 Introduction Proteins are polymers. They are the source of dietary amino acids and are used for growth and maintenance of living systems. They are costlier sources of energy compared to carbohydrates and fats and hence the human body utilizes proteins mainly for biosynthesis rather than as an energy source‚ though the energy yield is 5 kcal/g of protein. Twenty different types of amino acids occur naturally in proteins

Determination of Calcium ions in milk using titration. Background Calcium is a mineral which is essential to the human body. In fact 1.5% of the human body is made up of calcium‚ and not just the obvious uses such as bone and teeth formation but it is also a vital factor in many enzyme reactions‚ for example blood clotting. It also partakes in the regulation of the hearts rhythm. Lack of the crucial mineral can result in the build up of cadmium and lead‚ both of which are toxic. along

Experiment 5- Standardization of NaOH and determination of Molarity of an unknown Acid Objectives 1. Preparation and standardization of a 0.1M NaOH solution 2. To learn the technique of titration 3. Determination of the concentration of an unknown diprotic acid. Introduction Titration can be traced to the origins of volumetric analysis‚ which began in the late eighteenth century. Study of analytical chemistry began in France and the first burette was made by Francois Antoine Henri

Thermochemistry: An Ice Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy Shannon Wedepohl 9/17/13 Abstract: During this experiment‚ an ice calorimeter was used to measure the change in volume in milliliters of magnesium metal and 1.00 M of sulfuric acid. We found the experimental molar enthalpy of the reaction to be ∆H = -370 ± 1 kJ/mol at 0˚C. This compares with an expected value of -466.9 kJ/mol at 25 ˚C‚ a 20.75% difference. Introduction: Many chemical reactions truly only

I viewed the suicide tourist video open-mindedly and aware of the 1990 Patient Self-Determination ACT (PSDA). Self-Determination is a very difficult topic of discussion because it is closely tied to one’s culture‚ beliefs and religious practices. The conversation does not usually occur until after a loved one has become terminally ill and cannot make that decision for themselves‚ placing the decision in the hands of family members. Mr. Ewert stated that people may think that he is playing God by
