3418 Organic Chemistry Laboratory I Acid Base Review Definition In general‚ an acid is a substance that can donate a proton (H+) and a base is a substance that can accept a proton. Any proton in an organic molecule can potentially be donated. The most acidic proton in a molecule would be donated first. Any lone pair in an organic molecule can act as the proton acceptor. An acid (HA) reacts with a base (in this case H2O) to form the conjugate base of the acid (A-) and the conjugate acid of the base

and the sodium hydroxide. When using glassware in experiments‚ it must be flushed out to make sure that cross contamination does not happen and that the only thing that would then be coating the beaker is the distilled water. When all of the glassware has been cleaned‚ some sodium hydroxide should be placed in a plastic weighing boat next to the scales and place the second weighing boat on the scales and weigh it then click the on tare button to set it back to zero and weigh out 1g of sodium hydroxide

the activation energy in the reaction between crystal violet and sodium hydroxide. I. DESIGN ASPECT 1: definition of the problem‚ hypothesis and selection of variables Problem: How the Arrhenius equation can be used to determine the activation energy in the reaction between crystal violet and sodium hydroxide. Objective: The objective of the experiment is to determine the activation energy. Knowing the rate constant k of reactions between crystal violet and sodium hydroxide at different temperatures

Here‚ it is important to distinguish clearly between American-style and European-style options. For American options‚ the effect is unambiguous: Increasing the time to maturity always increases an option’s value because it increases the uncertainty of the spot exchange rate at maturity. When this effect is combined with the fact that the holder of a 6-month option can always treat the option as a 3-month option‚ we clearly see that the additional 3 months of maturity cannot hurt the payoff to the

calcium carbonate content?Calcium carbonate is a substance found in the eggshells giving them hardness and strength. It is essential to the commercial egg industry that the biggest possible amount of eggs reaches the market. Hence‚ as calcium carbonate reacts steadily with hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide as well as two other substances‚ I investigated which type of an eggshell contains more calcium carbonate. This reaction cannot be used directly to titrate the calcium carbonate because

is to gain an understanding about what alcohol is‚ how alcohol is produced‚ the metabolic processes involved with the breakdown of alcohol in the body and the enzymes that catalyze these reactions and how these biochemical reactions affect the liver and brain and the effects of alcohol on the human body. Introduction A good deal of the population consume alcohol‚ some more than others. The effects of alcohol consumption on the human body affects mainly the central nervous system‚ however alcohol

Separation of a Carboxylic Acid from a Neutral Compound by Extraction Reference: Smith‚ Chapter 2 (Acids and Bases) Introduction Carboxylic acids and phenols are two families of organic compounds that contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ and also react with water to yield an excess of hydronium ions over hydroxide ions. Pure water has a pH of 7‚ which means it has a hydronium ion concentration‚ [H3O+] of 10-7 M (M = molarity‚ moles/Liter). The hydronium ions in pure water come from the self-ionization

The typical pH of vinegar ranges anywhere from 2 to 3.5‚ although shop-bought vinegar usually measures 2.4 www.wisegeek.com/what-is-vinegar.htm fig 1 In this study we will determine the amount of acid in a vinegar sample by using titration‚ a common technique in chemistry a typical shop brought vinegar has an acid percentage of 5% see fig 1. A titration is a technique where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown

stoichiometric mole ratio of a chemical reaction. Present your data in terms of the mass of one reactant compared to the mass of one product. Purpose: The experiment will be designed to find out the stoichiometric mole ratio of Barium Chloride and Silver Nitrate yielding a precipitate of Silver Chloride in a Barium Nitrate solution. (BaCl2 + 2AgNO3 -> Ba(NO3)2 + 2AgCl) Research Question: How will the amount of Barium Chloride and Silver Nitrate affect how much Silver Chloride is produced?

Chemistry (the etymology of the word has been much disputed)[1] is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. The science of matter is also addressed by physics‚ but while physics takes a more general and fundamental approach‚ chemistry is more specialized‚ being concerned with the composition‚ behavior (or reaction)‚ structure‚ and properties of matter‚ as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions.[2] It is a physical science which studies various substances‚ atoms‚ molecules
