Conjugated linoleic acid‚ is a form of linoleic acid‚ an omega-6 fatty acid important to human health (Wang and Jones‚ 2004). The CLA is formed by the bacteria in rumen of certain ruminants but not for humans. It is obtained by humans from dietary sources such as beef‚ lamb and dairy products including milk and cheese (Wang and Jones‚ 2004). CLA is an antioxidant‚ anti-carcinogenic‚ anti-diabetogenic‚ anti-atherosclerotic‚ anti-catabolite as well as an immune system enhancer (Belury‚ 2002). Health

of acetylsalicylic acid Results and Data treatment (A) Preparation of aspirin i) Details about the reactants Reaction of the acetylation of salicylic acid is following From the balanced reaction above‚ it can be seen that the stoichiometry between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride is 1: 1. In this experiment‚ 21.7mmol of salicylic acid was used to react 6.0mL of acetic anhydride and salicylic acid was limiting reagent. The expected amount of salicylic acid used: 21.7/1000*138

To detect an acid‚ the scientists use indicators. Litmus is one indicator. An acid turns blue‚ litmus red. Acids are a group of chemicals with very similar properties. An acid is a sour-tasting substance. Lemons taste sour because they contain citric acid. The sour milk contains lactic acid while the sour taste of vinegar is due to acetic acid. Acetic acid‚ which is an ingredient of vinegar‚ releases only a limited number of ions and is not a strong acid. All these are weak acids. This is the reason

Acid Rain Research Paper What is acid rain? Rain is one of the most dire and essential needs for a thriving ecosystem‚ and to sustain human‚ animal‚ and plant life. The water provided by the water cycle‚ the event causing rain‚ is required to keep all life on Earth alive. Rain‚ although naturally acidic‚ seems to have been increasing at a rapid rate due to many reasons. Some of these many reasons include‚ pollution. Pollution from homes‚ factories‚ power stations‚ cars‚ and many more

Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic‚ i.e. elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals‚ and infrastructure through the process of wet deposition. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive
