constant of acetic acid Chemistry (HL) Research Question: To determine the pH of various mixtures of sodium acetate and acetic acid in an aqueous solution and hence to find the dissociation constant of the acetic acid. Background: The mixture of sodium acetate and acetic acid in aqueous solution is a buffer solution. Buffer solutions are the solutions which resist a sudden change in the pH due to addition of small amounts of strong acid or base. An acidic buffer is a mixture of a weak acid and its salt

To investigate how does the concentration of Hydrochloric acid affect the rate of reaction? Outline I aim to discover how different concentrations of Hydrochloric acid influence the rates of reaction. In order to carry out this investigation I have decided to use marble chips‚ which I will vary the sizes as powder‚ small chips and large chips. I will also be changing the concentration‚ the different concentrations are as follows 0.2m‚ 0.5m‚ 1m‚ 1.5‚ 2m. I have chosen these concentrations as they

in acid-base titrations Objectives 1. To understand the importance of choosing suitable indicators for detecting the end points of acid-base titrations. 2. To obtain titration curves for some acid-base titrations. Introduction Indicator is usually a weak organic acid or base that has distinctly different colours in its protonated and deprotonated forms. There are 4 types of acid-base titrations such as strong acid-weak base titration‚ weak acid-strong base titration‚ strong acid-strong

was to compare how side chains alter the ionizability of our three amino acids: alanine‚ aspartic acid‚ and cysteine. More specifically‚ we wanted to observe how a thiol group and a carboxyl group affected the ionizability of the rest of the amino acid. Because alanine contains a single methyl group on its side chain‚ we can easily compare the functional groups of aspartic acid and cysteine to it because both aspartic acid and cysteine start their side chains with a methylene group and then go on

of Bromine to trans-Cinnamic Acid Introduction/Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to carry out the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid‚ to determine the stereochemistry of the dibromide product of 2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid‚ and find out whether the reaction proceeds by the usual bromonium ion mechanism or some other mechanism. In this experiment trans-cinnamic acid was mixed with glacial acetic acid and stirred in which then bromine/acetic acid solution was added to the mixture

Acid Rain Lab Acid rain is causing problems throughout the world. Acid rain is precipitation that has been combined with gases in the atmosphere‚ causing it to be slightly more acidic than normal rain. Acid rain has a PH level of about 5.0 compared to that of pure water’s 7.0. Acid rain is caused uniquely by human from such harmful wastes as the burning of fossil fuels. This type of rain is carried throughout the atmosphere‚ for hundreds of miles‚ harming countryside. The real question is whether

a reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid‚ the products calcium chloride‚ carbon dioxide and water are formed. I predict that the higher temperature of HCl acid‚ the higher the reaction rate will be‚ this is because at a higher temperature there will more fast-moving hydrochloric acid molecules per set volume. This means that there will be a higher chance of the calcium carbonate molecules colliding with the hydrochloric acid and reacting‚ with enough energy to break the activation
