Determination of Ka for a Weak Acid Introduction In the experiment preformed the objective is to titrate a weak acid with a strong base. In a titration of a weak acid with a strong base the titrant is the strong base and the analyte is a weak acid. The reaction that will occur is the direct transfer of protons from the weak acid to the hydroxide ion. The data gathered will be represented on the titration curve‚ a graph of the volume of titrant being the strong base plotted against the pH .The

A neutralization reaction of ethanoic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate Cristina Li 17th April 2017 Introduction The hypothesis is the balloon will be bigger and bigger with the increase of vinegar. The chemical reaction between the baking soda and vinegar produces bubbles of carbon dioxide gas as part of this acid-base reaction. Sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking

Introduction- Acid rain is created when certain gases are mixed with atmospheric moisture to create precipitation that is more acidic. Naturally occurring sulfur and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere can vary the acidity level in the rain. Acid rain falls in the forms of rain‚ sleet‚ snow‚ fog‚ gases‚ and particles. The pH scale is what classifies it and it follows a zero to fourteen scale and fourteen being most basic‚ seven being neutral‚ and zero being most acidic. The pH of acid rain is in the

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

natural acid‚ citric acid industry has seen a fast growth in China before 2008 due to increasing demand from both of overseas market and domestic market. However‚ in the past five years‚ China’’s Citric Acid production has been expanding slowly due to demand increase very slowly. What’’s more‚ the price of citric acid’s raw material witnessed the uptrend in the same period. What has happened in the citric market in past five years? How is the current competition structure of citric acid in China

The reaction between alpha-amino acid and ninhydrin involved in the development of color are described by the following five mechanistic steps: alpha-amino acid + ninhydrin ---> reduced ninhydrin + alpha-amino acid + H2O alpha-amino acid + H2O ---> alpha-keto acid +NH3 alpha-keto acid + NH3 ---> aldehyde + CO2 Step (1) is an oxidative deamination reaction that removes two hydrogen from the alpha-amino acid to yield an alpha-imino acid. Simultaneously‚ the original ninhydrin is reduced

I. Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the pH values of acids‚ bases‚ and buffers of distilled water and 10.0 buffer using measured concentrations of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and/or Hydrochloric acid (HCl). Acid is a compound typically having a bitter taste and capable of nullifying alkalis and releases hydrogen ion when added to a solution‚ or containing an atom that can accept a pair of electrons from a base (McKinley‚ Dean O’Loughlin‚ & Stouter Bidle‚ 2016). Bases are water-soluble

The Cause and Effects of Acid Mine Drainage INTRODUCTION Imagine going fishing on a cool Autumn day‚ the trees are all different shades of orange‚ brown and red and the birds are singing their beautiful songs‚ but their is a serious problem because when you arrive at the river all plant and animal life are gone. This is by no means a recent phenomenon. This is due to the effects of acid rock drainage (ARD). This is a problem that has been occurring since ancient times‚ but it was not until
