The aim of this experiment was to calculate the concentration of an unknown solution of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) by titrating it with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and to identify any possible sources of error. A colour change from pink to yellow signified the end of each individual titre as the NaOH had been neutralised. Experimental: Method: Firstly two solutions were prepared to show the colour of the Phenol Red indicator in acid and alkaline conditions. These colours were then used to determine the

The mechanism of heart contraction and relaxation (mechanical restitution) is the basic of cardiac functioning. This mechanical restitution is driven by calcium movement and concentrations. An increase in cystolic calcium concentration causes contraction in myocardium. Calcium from the extracellular fluid enters the cardiomyocyte through the L-type Ca2+ channels after being propagated by the cardiac action potential which depolarises the cell. This flood of calcium triggers more calcium release

what osmosis is. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable membrane b) It is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration c) It is the passage of water to a region of low water concentration. All the above statements are included in the definition‚ but define certain

In conclusion‚ the concentrations and absorbance of the Kool-Aid solution were found. The purpose of the experiment was to develop a deeper understanding of the effect that concentration has on the absorbance of light–which the objective was met. To add‚ another goal of the experiment was to determine the unknown solution’s concentration using the absorbance data recorded. This was concluded to be 0.25 M–most similar to Solution #1. Concentration‚ measured in molarity (M)‚ can be calculated using

investigating how the rate of reaction differs when we change the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid whilst reacting with Magnesium. The rate of reaction is explained by the Collision Theory. This theory explains how various factors affect the reaction rates and how chemical reactions occur. The 4 factors of the Collision Theory are: • Temperature • Concentration • Surface area • Catalyst I am investigating how different concentrations of acids affect the rate of reaction. However I must control

5-dinitrobenzoic acid to oxidize the aldehyde group on the carbohydrate‚ the reducing end of glucose increases in absorbance of 540 nm. Using a UV spectrophotometer‚ the concentration was calculated by using a regression line of the standard curve. The experimental data concluded a 1068.912 µg/ml. With the actual concentration being 1200.000 µg/ml‚ a 10.924% error was deduced. Though the error is slightly high‚ the deviation of 134.370 µg/ml makes up for some of the error through this process;

to analyse our results. What we will do: We will put potato pieces of similar sizes in to test tubes of different concentrations of sucrose solution‚ and measure any changes in mass and length. Affecting Factors: There are a number of factors which can affect our results. We need to keep them all the same‚ and make sure that the only thing that changes is the concentration of the sucrose solution. These factors include: • Starting length of potato • Volume of Sucrose solution

For this data analysis project‚ I conducted and experiment to investigate how the concentration of an acid affects the rate of the reaction. I have set up the experiment’s equipment as shown on figure 1. As you can see by figure 1‚ I have used the reaction between sodium thisoulphate solution and hydrochloric acid (HCL) to come up with results that will help me draw conclusions regarding the effects of the concentration of the acid. I decided to use this particular reaction due to the fact that the
