Experiment 7 Investigating Stoichiometry with Sodium Salts of Carbonic Acid Introduction: The student will perform the experiment in order to find the percent yield by using the theoretical value found using the balanced equation for sodium carbonate as well as sodium bicarbonate. The objective is to stabilize the substances by titrations and finding the percent yield when all the data is collected. The purpose of this procedure is so that the student will get better understanding of stoichiometry

How does acid precipitation affect marble and limestone buildings? Acid rain is a type of precipitation that is characterised by containing contaminating substances such as sulphuric and nitric acid‚ both of which have harmful effects on the environment. Both marble and limestone are extremely vulnerable to the damages done by acid rain due to their components. These materials contain calcite‚ a substance that easily reacts and dissolves with acid. Acid rain is the cause of the destruction of many

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

given out in neutralizing sodium hydroxide (NaOH) using different concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid. Background Information:- Substances that neutralize acids are called alkalis. An acid is a substance that forms hydrogen ions (H+ ) when placed in water. It can also be described as a proton donor as it provides H+ ions. An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl)‚ Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) etc. An alkali is a soluble base and forms hydroxyl ions (OH-) when placed in water. It

An Experiment to find the Concentration of a Sample of Acid Rain Plan Aim When a metal is extracted from its ore often sulphur dioxide is produced. When sulphur dioxide is dissolved in water it forms a strong acid called sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid is often sold as a useful by-product‚ but also gets into the water cycle and forms acid rain. In this experiment‚ I have been given a sample acid rain of concentration between 0.05 mol dm-3 and 0.15 mol dm-3 and my aim is to find out exactly what

Global Bio Succinic Acid Market published at Truemarketresearch.com The U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) considers succinic acid as one among the top twelve chemical building blocks. Succinic acid‚ as a platform chemical‚ is growing in demand in various applications. However‚ consumption of petroleum based succinic acid‚ as an intermediate‚ in manufacturing various chemicals‚ is limited due to its volatility of price and carbon footprints. These concerns led to the discovery of biological manufacturing
