determination of Ascorbic acid Concentration in an Unknown Solution Introduction: The naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties is Ascorbic acid shortly referred as (AA). Normally the color of Ascorbic acid is white‚ but in some cases of impure samples it appears yellow in color. Ascorbic acid is solid in state. In water it dissolves well to give mildly acidic solutions. Ascorbic acid is one form ("vitamer") of vitamin C [1]. So‚ Ascorbic Acid (AA) in other terminology

Vitamin C Introduction: The lab consists in determining the vitamin C concentration in a solution by a redox titration using iodine. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble‚ essential oxidant that plays a vital role in the protection of the body from infections and disease it is acquired from primary fruits and vegetables. With the use of different materials as natural orange juice‚ Tampico (chemical orange juice) and other solutions that contain vitamin C we will find the amount of vitamin

biodiesel quality‚ it was possible to establish a model to be used for predicting some parameters of biodiesel resulting from mixtures of waste frying oil with lard when different lard contents are used. IODIESEL consists of a mixture of fatty acid alkyl esters‚ that can be used as an alternative fuel in compression-ignition engines; it is obtained from renewable resources‚ such as vegetable oils and animal fats‚ which makes it biodegradable and non-toxic [1]‚[2]. Biodiesel might be produced

An Unknown Amino Acid From Titration Abstract Experiment 11 used a titration curve to determine the identity of an unknown amino acid. The initial pH of the solution was 1.96‚ and the pKa’s found experimentally were 2.0‚ 4.0‚ and 9.85. The accepted pKa values were found to be 2.10‚ 4.07‚ and 9.47. The molecular weight was calculated to be 176.3 while the accepted value was found to be 183.5. The identity of the unknown amino acid was established to be glutamic acid‚ hydrochloride. Introduction

basic‚ or neutral. We are able to figure out which one it is based on properties‚ along with the pH. Acids taste sour‚ and bases taste bitter. Using the pH scale‚ you are able to know how strong of an acid or base a liquid is. High concentration of [H+] ions means that the liquid has a low pH. Therefore a liquid with a low concentration of [H+] would have a high pH. A pH of less than 7 represents an acid‚ while a pH above 7 represents a base. A pH of 7 would be neutral. In this lab‚ we used red cabbage

As a liquid evaporates‚ it lowers the temperature of the substances around them‚ because evaporation is an endothermic process. In the graph‚ each substance has a different curve. Some lowered the temperature much more than others. This is because different substances require differing amounts of energy to evaporate. To test this‚ the temperature change from the evaporation of 4 different alcohols was measured and compared‚ along with cyclohexane. Methanol had the largest change in temperature‚ 18

identify an unknown amino acid. IntroductionAmino acids are simple monomers which are strung together to form proteins. Amino acids play a key cellular role in structure and function. Proteins themselves participate in nearly every physiological event in the cell. Since all amino acids contain at least one amino and one carboxyl group‚ they are classified as amphoteric substances (meaning that they can act as either an acid or as a base) (1). Treating the zwitterion with acid will result an addition

Acid-Base Titration Using a pH Meter Bradley Holloway and Jennifer Parker Period 6 April 16‚ 2013 Introduction: In chemistry‚ the ability to find molarities of acidic and basic solutions is a convenient way to convert between moles of solute and the volumes of their solutions. Through the process of titration‚ the molarity of these acids and bases can be found to a high level of precision. To begin titration‚ one solution is added to a second solution slowly until a certain point

Acid precipitation affects stone in two ways: dissolution and alteration. The calcite dissolves when sulfurous‚ sulfuric‚ and nitric acids in polluted air react with the calcite in marble and limestone. Exposed areas of building and statues develop rough surfaces. Some of the material that makes them up are removed or corroded‚ thus‚ details and carvings are lost. Even sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments are affected by acid precipitation. However‚ sheltered areas on limestone
