Acids‚ Bases‚ and Buffers Introduction: The pH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is‚ ranging from 1-14. The most acidic of all acids are at a pH level of 1 and the most basic of all bases are at 14. The neutral pH level is 7‚ which is what drinking water is. The pH level is determined by the amount of H+ ions present in a solution‚ and the more H+ ions there are the more acidic it is‚ and the lack of these ions results in more basic solutions. One distinguishing feature

The measurement parameters consisted of temperature‚ pH or pressure‚ and the first attempts of conducting real-time noninvasive physiological measurements suffered from poor reliability‚ low sensitivity‚ and short lifetimes of the devices. The first successful pH gut profiles were achieved in 1972‚ with subsequent improvements in sensitivity and lifetime. Single-channel radio telemetry capsules have since

Determination of the Effect of pH on Amylase Activity Grace Chung Abstract: Amylase is an important enzyme in the human body as it allows for the consumption of starch by breaking the polysaccharide down into maltose units. All enzymes‚ including amylase‚ function best at a certain optimal pH. Therefore‚ in this experiment‚ the effect of different pHs on the reaction rate of amylase is studied. It was hypothesized that the amylase-starch reaction would proceed fastest at a pH closest to that of the

Cesar Bizarroque Wesam Daker Bio 1107k-11 10/25/14 How pH levels impact tyrosinase activity Abstract: The purpose of our research utilizing the different pH levels was to test how a specific pH level would impact tyrosinase activity. First we added 4.0 mL of pH in each corresponding test tube and then added 0.5 mL of substrate (catechol) into each test tube. In the instructions it says to apply your 0.5 mL of tyrosinase (potato extract) as well but you have to blank the spectrophotometer before

Determining the equilibrium constant from pH values of changing concentrations of ethanoic acid Design Research question: How will altering the concentrations of ethanoic acid affect the pH value‚ and‚ in-turn‚ the equilibrium constant? Background information: When weak acids react‚ the reaction typically does not go to completion. Rather‚ the system goes to an intermediate state in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. Such a system is said to be in chemical equilibrium

The purpose of this enzyme kinetic experiment was to observe the effect of temperature and pH on the reaction of barley alpha-amylase enzyme with starch substrate and establish the optimum temperature and pH for this reaction. The optimum temperature and pH for the reaction of alpha-amylase and starch was predicted to be a temperature of 50°C and a pH of 5. The optimum temperature and pH for the reaction was determined

The pH of various mixtures and find the dissociation 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
