In the data table above‚ the mass of penny‚ copper‚ and zinc was needed in order to determine the percent composition of copper and zinc. The mass of penny was taken on the scale in the beginning of the procedure before anything was done to the penny‚ and it was 2.51 grams. After the reaction with the hydrochloric acid and drying the copper‚ the mass is 0.35 grams. To get the mass of zinc‚ the mass of the penny was subtracted by the mass of copper. The mass of zinc is 2.16 grams. The penny is 14%

Acid Rain Introduction: Titrations are often recorded on graphs called titration curves‚ which generally contain the volume of the titrant as the independent variable and the pH of the solution as the dependent variable (because it changes depending on the composition of the two solutions). The equivalence point on the graph is where all of the starting solution (usually an acid) has been neutralized by the titrant (usually a base). One can easily find the pKa of the monoprotic acid by finding

BEHAVIOUR OF AMINO ACIDS IN SOLUTION Abstract In this practical the acid-base behaviour of amino acids was assessed. Amino acids are amphoteric. They have the basic (amine) and the acidic (carboxylic) functional groups. These show the same type of equilibrium reactions that all weak acids and bases undergo‚ and the relative amount of each can be altered by adjusting the pH of the solution. For this practical glycine was used as a model to show this unique nature of amino acids. A series of

Sulfuric Acid is one of the the important chemical compounds. A Great amount of sulfur is mined all around the world and is used to produce sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acids being produced Sulfuric acid may seem like something to find in a lab‚ perhaps under the label “corrosive‚” and in some kind of tube that isn’t affected by it. But‚ in reality‚ it’s quite common‚ and is used often in the industrial business‚ for many different objects. Because of this‚ many places can often be judged upon their

A Swiss chemist named Dr. Albert Hoffman first produced lysergic acid Diethylmide or best known as LSD in 1938 (Dye‚ 1992‚ p. 2). Hoffman discovered the drug while trying to synthesize a new drug for the treatment of headaches. He obtained the lysergic acid from the parasitic fungus that grows on rye plants known as ergot. From the lysergic acid‚ he synthesized the compound LSD. He used the compound to test for its pain killing properties on laboratory animals. Being that appeared totally ineffective

Objectives 1. To separate a mixture of an acid and a neutral compound into its component by extraction. 2. To determine the melting point and the yield of the benzoic acid and the unknown sample. 3. To determine the unknown sample whether is is Trimethylmethanol or 1‚2‚4‚5-Tetrachlorobenzene. Introduction Extraction is a process of transferring a solute from one solvent to another. It is usually used to separate one or more components from a mixture. Diethyl ether‚ dichloromethane

The causes of acid rain are because of the emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere. This is a result of pollution; sulphur dioxide primarily the result of industrialisation and coal fired power stations‚ and nitrogen oxides produced mainly due to car exhaust fumes. These either form wet or dry deposition‚ and the effects we can see today. It could be argued that once that the human race has used up all of the planets coal reserves‚ the problem of acid rain would disappear

INTRODUCTION Lactic Acid is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH (OH) COOH. Lactic is one of the types of fermentation which occur under anaerobic respiration to produce ATP without the use of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration takes place in certain prokaryotic organisms that have an Electron Transport Chain (ETC) but do not use oxygen as a final electron acceptor at the end of the chain (Campbell et all‚ 2015) different with the aerobic respiration which use oxygen to produce ATP and its final

Introduction: In this lab‚ we measured the acid-base strengths of seven separate organic compounds. The lab was painless to perform‚ it consisted of adding a small amount of one of the organic compounds to a well‚ and testing the pH via testing paper. The color of the paper was then analyzed to determine what the pH of the compound was. The structures were benzenesulfonic acid‚ benzoic acid‚ benzyl alcohol‚ benzylamine‚ p-cresol‚ and p-toluidine. My initial hypothesis about the acidity/basicity

Acid rains can happen due to the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which it reach to water molecules in the atmosphere to form acids. Acid rain is resulting from natural
