CHEMICAL REACTIONS: ACID-BASE BUFFERS Short Overview Acids and bases represent two of the most common classes of compounds. Many studies have been done on these compounds‚ and their reactions are very important. Perhaps the most important reaction is the one in which an acid and base are combined‚ resulting in the formation of water (in aqueous solution) and a salt; this reaction is called neutralization. A buffer solution is a solution that contains both an acid and a salt containing

Proteins are a diverse group of macromolecules with many different functions (Mbuthia‚ 2012). Many are structural components of bone‚ muscle‚ hair‚ tissue‚ etc. Others are enzymes that speed up cellular reactions. All proteins are made up of amino acids (Johnson‚ 2010). The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether peptide bonds are present in various food substances. The color violet will indicate the presence of proteins. The more intense the color is‚ the greater number of peptide bonds

Unknown Lab Report Unknown Organism #6 Ann Le (Phuoc) May 6‚ 2010 Dr. Carrington Microbiology Lab- MW 12:50 Le 1 I. Introduction My unknown organism #6 is Morganella morganii‚ which is a gram-negative bacillus rods commonly found in the environment and also in the intestinal tracts of humans‚ mammals‚ and reptiles as a normal flora. (3‚ 5) This bacterium Morganella morganii‚ was first discovered in the 1906 by a British bacteriologist named H. de R. Morgan. (2) Despite its wide

ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION Toward the start of my examination I was speculation to break down just 1% centralization of Sodium Bicarbonate in water‚ yet because of a few reasons my examination got put off and till then there was change in the temperature outside because of which I needed to build the fixation. The second analysis gave me sure results‚ yet in the first I never felt that the relocation change that would happen will be so less. The room temperature was one of our reliant variables‚ on

Organic Chemistry II Lab 9 Fermentation of a Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose * Introduction Ethanol is one of the oldest alcohols and also the least toxic one. Industrially‚ ethanol is made most economically by hydration of ethylene. However‚ ethanol that is intended for human consumption must‚ by law‚ be prepared by fermentation. By either method‚ ethanol‚ of course‚ has the same formula‚ structure‚ and properties. The fermentation takes place with the assistance of enzymes from yeast

EXPERIMENT I Photoreduction of Benzophenone Introduction The study of chemical reactions‚ isomerizations and physical behavior that may occur under the influence of visible and/or ultraviolet light is called Photochemistry. The fundamental principles for understanding photochemical transformations are that light must be absorbed by a compound in order for a photochemical reaction to take place‚ and that for each photon of light absorbed by a chemical system only one molecule is activated for

Analysis of Commercial Bleach Lab I. Purpose In this experiment‚ the amount of sodium hypochlorite in a commercial bleach will be determined by reacting it with sodium thiosulfate in the presence of iodide ions and starch. A solution of sodium thiosulfate of known concentration will be added to the bleach using a buret in a titration procedure. The disappearance of the dark blue color of the starch-iodine complex will signal the end point. II. Procedures Pre-Lab Questions 1. What is
