to prevent the body tissues from being damaged by the peroxide. pH is used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution and is very important when chemical reactions are concerned. A value of 7 is neutral while a pH of less than 7 is acidic and a greater pH than 7 is basic. This scale is logarithmic‚ which means that for every increase or decrease is 10 times more or less acidic/basic than before. In the human body‚ optimal pH levels range from 7.35-7.45‚ any changes out of this range can be

ACIDS AND BASES The reason that acid-base reactions are so important is that many of the things you come into contact with on a daily basis are either acids or bases. Most fruits are acids‚ as are carbonated beverages‚ tea‚ and battery acid. Common household bases include baking soda‚ ammonia‚ soap‚ and antacids. What are acids and bases? There are not one but three common definitions used to describe acids and bases: 1. Arrhenius acids and bases 2. Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases 3. Lewis acids

are pleased to have you here. We have some problems growing Rhododendron.” Christopher replied: “Thank you for your warm welcome. While working with tomato‚ I realized that they grow best at around pH 7. Perhaps‚ it might work well with Rhododendron too!” “Oh‚ you might be right‚ I’ve read that pH affects the intake of the nutrients of plants‚” Dr Ong exclaimed. “I think I have to agree with you‚” replied Christopher. “I forgot to mention that the plot of land is on one of the roof top garden

Materials and Procedures: Materials: Willing subject (someone complete the activities of the experiment) Timer (with a second hand) Glass Urinary and Salivary pH (litmus) paper Drinking straw Procedures: 1. Measure 2 ounces of water in a glass. Obtain the pH of the water in the glass. Record the water pH prior to experiment.

Amylase Enzyme vs. Starch vs. pH vs. Temperature Taylor Ellsworth Professor Michael Bunch Cell Biology 112 “Effects of Amylase reaction time when breaking down starch.” Experiment Goal: The goal of our experiment was to understand the similarities in digestion by finding out how long it takes for the amylase enzyme‚ found in saliva‚ to break down our substrate‚ starch. Hypothesis: While understanding that starch is broken down by our saliva (amylase enzyme) we predict that the higher

concentrations so as to maintain a relatively constant pH when either acid or base is added. In this experiment a selection of buffer solutions (Bicarbonate/carbonic acid)‚ Lake water and distilled water were obtained to compare their buffering behaviours when mixed both with an acid and a base. The results showed buffering capacities for all the solutions except distilled water. Introduction Many lab experiments require constant pH while acids or bases are added to solutions either by reaction

Common ions suppress the extent of ionization‚ buffer the solution‚ and lower the solubility of slightly soluble salts. Students should however consider not deviating from certain measurements and should thoroughly clean the pH bulb after every solution. II. KEYWORDS Common ion‚ buffer‚ pH‚ ionization
