AMINO ACIDS BY MEANS OF TITRATION CURVE ABSTRACT The aim of the experiment was to identify an unknown amino acid through acid-base titrations which was prepared in water to form an acidic solution. Each group prepared unknown amino acid hydrochloride. The pre-prepared basic solution was slowly added to the amino acid solution and pH change was closely observed using the pH meter. During these titrations the amino acid converted from cation to zwitterion to anion; zwitterion is an amino acid with

Acids and Bases Shane Purpose- To study the relationship between pH and metabolism. 10/21/13 Materials- see attached Per. D Biology Procedure- see attached Data and Results- see attached Theory- PH stands for the power of hydrogen. People refer to the pH scale as a tool for finding out if a substance is acidic‚ basic‚ or neutral. This scale goes from zero to fourteen. The number seven is neutral. Any number higher than seven on this scale is basic. Any number lower is acidic

Cause and Effect Essay: Acid Rain Pisal Sorn Advanced Writing Skills - ELT 114 Section 1 Professor: Robert Flinn April 11‚ 2014 Cause and Effect Essay: Acid Rain Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that unusually acidic‚ meaning that the level of pH is below 7. Acid rains can happen due to the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which it reach to water molecules in the atmosphere to form acids. Acid rain is resulting from natural

the temperature the faster the reaction will occur) has been proven correct and it proves the theory right. From the results‚ we can see this‚ as the iced water (10 degrees) had the slowest rate of reaction at 1.10 minutes. Then the room temperature water (19 degrees) was tested and had a slightly better rate of reaction at 1.09 minutes. Then last of all‚ we tested the boiling water (63 degrees) which had a large improvement from the last two with a rate of reaction of 43.5 seconds. This showing development

The purpose of this experiment was to study the effect acid rain has on seed germination and after performing this experiment is can be concluded that acid rain has a negative effect on seed germination. When seeds are soaked in an acidic solution the process of germination slows. Acidic solutions‚ while do slow growth of a seed‚ they do not kill the seed. A seed can be dormant for a majority of its lifespan‚ seeds watered with acid solutions stayed in a dormant condition. For example‚ trial three

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are fats that are required by the human body‚ but cannot be made by the body; therefore they must be obtained from external forces such as food. EFAs are the building blocks of all fats and oils and are required for both metabolic processes and for fuel. EFAs form the main component in the fats carried in our blood stream (triglycerides)‚ fats stored in our bodies and of cell membranes (phospholipids).

Acid Rain Research Paper What is acid rain? Rain is one of the most dire and essential needs for a thriving ecosystem‚ and to sustain human‚ animal‚ and plant life. The water provided by the water cycle‚ the event causing rain‚ is required to keep all life on Earth alive. Rain‚ although naturally acidic‚ seems to have been increasing at a rapid rate due to many reasons. Some of these many reasons include‚ pollution. Pollution from homes‚ factories‚ power stations‚ cars‚ and many more

Objectives 1. To separate a mixture of an acid and a neutral compound into its component by extraction. 2. To determine the melting point and the yield of the benzoic acid and the unknown sample. 3. To determine the unknown sample whether is is Trimethylmethanol or 1‚2‚4‚5-Tetrachlorobenzene. Introduction Extraction is a process of transferring a solute from one solvent to another. It is usually used to separate one or more components from a mixture. Diethyl ether‚ dichloromethane
