Amino acids are important building blocks; they play an essential role in the formation of proteins and as intermediates in metabolism. Amino acids can serve as cell signaling molecules and can regulate gene expression. An optimal amount of amino acids is essential for health. There are over 500 amino acids‚ however only 20 are commonly found. Amino acids all have an amine functional group and a carboxylic acid functional group. They differentiate from each other in their side chains. Only 10 of

Introduction: The theory behind the extraction of a solution containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange involves many components pertaining to the fundamental ideas of solubility and polarity. Using the concepts of like dissolving like and acid base reactions‚ a solution of organic acid (benzoic acid)‚ a water soluble compound cellulose‚ and an organic soluble compound methyl orange‚ can be separated and benzoic acid can be isolated by a method of extraction. At the fundamental level‚

Hydrochloric-Acid Written By Kahlil Zione Date:02/02/05 Abstract: We observed the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid and recorded it in a table and learned wether the percentage of zinc is effected by the amounts of both substances added to the solution. Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the amount of zinc and hydrochloric acid will effect the percentage of the zinc in the out coming solution. We are reacting zinc metal with hydrochloric acid to produce

properties of acids with the general properties of bases. Acids: Aqueous solutions of acids have a sour taste. Acids change the color of acid-base indicators. Some acids react with active metals and release hydrogen gas‚H2. Acids react with bases to produce salts and water. Acids conduct electric current. Bases: Aqueous solutions of bases taste bitter. Bases change the color of acid-base indicators. Dilute aqueous solutions of bases feel slippery. Bases react with acids to produce salts

Abstract The objective of this experiment was to observe multi-step purification of benzoic acid after performing the extraction from a mixture containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange. Recrystallization was done to remove impurities from the sample. The amount of BA recovered during recrystallization is much less than the extracted amount of BA. The difference between the pure and impure samples was observed by comparison of melting points. It was found that impure samples will have

was conducted in order to determine the chemical composition of an unknown organic acid. A known mass of acid was dissolved into 30mL of either water or methanol (depending on solubility) and titrated with standardized sodium hydroxide. Data from this allowed the molar mass of the acid to be calculated if it was either monoprotic or diprotic. Titration Table: |Trail |Acid Used (mg) |Concentration of base |Volume of base (mL)

An acid is a substance with particular chemical properties including turning litmus paper red‚ neutralizing alkalis‚ and dissolving some metals. It can be corrosive or it can be sour liquid of this kind. Acids are also all around us in everyday life‚ for example‚ carbon dioxide gas dissolves in rain to form carbonic acid (a weak acid). We find acids in many foods‚ such as ethanoic acid in vinegar. These acids are not hazardous. Some acids‚ which are found in the laboratory a car battery are too dangerous
