The Revolution Against Standardization To a student‚ the end of the school year can be one of the most stressful parts of the school year. When they hear this‚ a lot of confused parents like to ask “why?” The answer is pretty simple. At the end of the school year‚ students have to take giant exams called standardized tests. These tests are hyped up for the duration of the school year which makes some students nervous on test day. This will affect the student’s performance‚ therefore decreasing

expected melting point. After its temperature reached the plateau‚ the temperature increment was set at 1°C per minute‚ and the melting point range of 152°C-154°C was recorded. After standardizing the melting device‚ a small sample of unknown carboxylic acid was placed in a capillary tube‚ and an arbitrary plateau of 200°C was set. When the sample started to melt at 150°C‚ another capillary tube containing a small amount of unknown sample was placed in the melting device‚ and the plateau was set to 135°C

DETERMINATION OF FRUIT ACIDS BY TITRATION AND CALCULATION OF THE SUGAR/ACID RATIO It is the sugar/acid ratio which contributes towards giving many fruits their characteristic flavour and so is an indicator of commercial and organoleptic ripeness. At the beginning of the ripening process the sugar/acid ratio is low‚ because of low sugar content and high fruit acid content‚ this makes the fruit taste sour. During the ripening process the fruit acids are degraded‚ the sugar content increases and

The acid-base titration curves help to find the pKa‚ Ka‚ and pH at equivalent point. At the beginning pH for HCl is 1.90 which is lower than the 3.28 for acetic acid; thus‚ strong acid (HCl) means lower pH and weak acid (acetic acid) means higher pH. Then at the equivalent point for the titration HCl-NaOH the pH is 7‚ which mans that is neutral‚ in other words there are enough NaOH mmol to neutralize the HCl mmol present; also‚ the solution contains only water and NaCl the salt derived from the titration

Introduction Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the base. Preparation •

Standardization versus Adaptation in International Marketing Introduction The most challenging decision that a company may face in internationalization is the degree of standardization or adaptation in its operations. The question of standardization or adaptation affects all avenues of a business’ operations‚ such as R&D‚ finance‚ production‚ organizational structure‚ procurement‚ and the marketing mix. Whether a company chooses to standardize or adapt its operations depends on its attitudes

Introduction Extraction is a purification technique used in organic chemistry to separate compounds from a mixture of two or more compounds. There are three different extraction techniques: liquid-liquid extraction‚ solid-liquid extraction and chemically active extraction. All three types of extraction follow the same principle. Organic molecules dissolve in organic solvents and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solvents. This phenomenon is observed because of the intermolecular forces between

Introduction: The theory behind the extraction of a solution containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange involves many components pertaining to the fundamental ideas of solubility and polarity. Using the concepts of like dissolving like and acid base reactions‚ a solution of organic acid (benzoic acid)‚ a water soluble compound cellulose‚ and an organic soluble compound methyl orange‚ can be separated and benzoic acid can be isolated by a method of extraction. At the fundamental level‚

Separation of a Carboxylic Acid from a Neutral Compound by Extraction Reference: Smith‚ Chapter 2 (Acids and Bases) Introduction Carboxylic acids and phenols are two families of organic compounds that contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ and also react with water to yield an excess of hydronium ions over hydroxide ions. Pure water has a pH of 7‚ which means it has a hydronium ion concentration‚ [H3O+] of 10-7 M (M = molarity‚ moles/Liter). The hydronium ions in pure water come from the self-ionization
