EXPERIMENT 2: Recrystallization and Melting Point Recrystallization (or Crystallization) is a technique used to purify solids. This procedure relies on the fact that solubility increases as temperature increases (you can dissolve more sugar in hot water than in cold water). As a hot‚ saturated solution cools‚ it becomes supersaturated and the solute precipitates (crystallizes) out. In a recrystallization procedure‚ an impure (crude) solid is dissolved in a hot solvent. As this solution is cooled

Lab 1: Acid/Base Properties of an Antimicrobial Agent 09/03/13 Purpose The purpose was to determine the acid and base properties of the antimicrobial agent sodium benzoate. Theory Sodium has mainly been used in food processing to avoid growth of bacteria and harmful microorganisms. It is commonly used to preserve foods and beverages that have an acidic pH. Rather than benzoic acid‚ sodium benzoate is used because it is generally soluble in most aqueous solutions but benzoic acid is not

Investigating the effects of acid rain in the growth of cress seedlings IntroductionAcid rain is rain or any other form of precipitation‚ which is unusually acidic. It has harmful effects on plants‚ animals and buildings. Acid rain is mostly caused by human emissions of sulphur and nitrogen compounds which react in the atmosphere to produce acids. Acid rain can slow the growth of vulnerable forests and cause leaves and needles to turn brown and fall off. In addition‚ it depletes minerals from the
Premium Sulfur dioxide Water Acid rain
Acid Rain Acid rain occurs when Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is released into the atmosphere by electricity generation‚ motor vehicles‚ factories and by wildfires and volcanoes. Once released‚ the sulphur dioxide reacts with water to produce sulphuric acid. This has a pH of approximately 2-3 pH. This has a dramatic effect on water dwelling wildlife. Most water dwelling creatures can’t withstand water more acidic than pH 5. This causes the mass loss of life of animals such as trout‚ perch‚ frogs and mayflies

The effect on the pH of Distilled water‚ Potato Solution and Commercial Buffer‚ when Hydrochloric acid (0.1 mol/L) and Sodium Hydroxide (0.1 mol/L) is added Mahima Mandava Mrs. Haist September 23rd‚ 2014 SBI4U1 Background Information: The pH is the measurement of how acidic or how basic a substance can be. The pH scale is used to measure how acidic or basic a living cell can be. The pH scale ranges from 0-14; 0-6 being acidic‚ 8-14 being basic and 7 being neutral. There are many factors

Indicators can be used to determine whether these substances are acidic‚ basic or neutral. Manufactured indicators are one type and the second type is natural indicators. Believe it or not‚ the majority of fruits‚ vegetables and flowers contain pigments which may be used as acid-base indicators. For example‚ Red cabbage contains within
