Introduction: In this lab‚ we measured the acid-base strengths of seven separate organic compounds. The lab was painless to perform‚ it consisted of adding a small amount of one of the organic compounds to a well‚ and testing the pH via testing paper. The color of the paper was then analyzed to determine what the pH of the compound was. The structures were benzenesulfonic acid‚ benzoic acid‚ benzyl alcohol‚ benzylamine‚ p-cresol‚ and p-toluidine. My initial hypothesis about the acidity/basicity

Jennifer Everett Phase 4 DB Instructor: Clement Yedjou 3/10/2015 Acid rain Acid rain is a result of air pollution that is harmful to the environment‚ generally caused by fuels being burnt. When any type of fuel is burnt‚ many different chemicals are produced. These gases that are released react with the water in clouds‚ and the rain from these clouds is acid rain. This type of acid disposition can appear in many other forms besides just rain‚ such as sleet‚ snow‚ and fog (Editorial Board‚ 2013)

Stereochemistry of Butenedioic Acid Objective: To study the interconversion of two geometric isomers‚ maleic acid (cis isomer) to fumaric acid (trans isomers)‚ the differences in physical properties between this pair of cis-trans isomers and determine the stereochemistry of addition of bromine to butenedioic acid. Chemicals and Apparatus: 2 grams of maleic acid‚ 10 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid‚ 10 cm3 of bromine water[1]‚ one 50 cm3 beaker‚ one 100 cm3 beaker‚ one 250 cm3

Introduction: Acid rain has proven to be a big problem for Connecticut. It has had a great impact on builders‚ wildlife‚ and the water sources. Acid rain has many components in it such as pollutants from plants to sulfuric acid from burning coal. Problem: Which stone is the most resistant against acid rain? Hypothesis: If we test the different stones against acid rain then red sand stone would be the best because it is heavier and cannot be easily broken. Independent variable: Type of stones

distilled water‚ stir‚ leave to settle and decant. Making the Plastic 4 Measure 22 cubic centimeters of distilled water and add it to a beaker together with 4 grams of the potato slurry from Section 1. Add 3 cubic centimeters of dilute hydrochloric acid. The acid removes part of the starch called amylopectin‚ which inhibits the formation of a plastic film. Add 2 cubic centimeters of glycerol to act as a plasticizer‚ making the plastic less brittle. 5 Set up the tripod and gauze over the Bunsen

sulphate is determined quantitatively as barium sulphate by gravimetric analysis. This determination consists of slowly adding a dilute solution of barium chloride to a hot‚ unknown sulphate solution which is slightly acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid. A white precipitate will formed and is then filtered off‚ washed with deionised water‚ dried in the oven and weighed as barium sulphate. The percentage of sulphate is calculated from the weight of barium sulphate. (B) Objective The purpose
