Studying the pH of Strong Acid‚ Weak Acid‚ Salt‚ and Buffer Solutions The purpose of the current experiment was to determine the pH of various hydrochloric acid and acetic acid solutions‚ to determine the pH of various salt solutions‚ to prepare a buffer solution‚ and determine the effects of adding a strong acid and strong base to the buffer solution versus adding a strong acid and strong base to water. The measured pHs for the hydrochloric acid solutions were 1.6‚ 2.2‚ 2.9‚ and 3.8. The measured

Introduction “The Enzyme Reaction” An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst‚ which brings out a biochemical reaction. A Catalase enzyme‚ the enzyme tested in this experiment‚ is found in almost all living organisms that are exposed daily to oxygen (such as fruits‚ vegetables and animals). Background Information The Catalase enzyme in this experiment is known for being less affective the warmer the temperature is. According to “Science fair projects” an enzyme becomes unstable

BRONSTED-LOWRY ACIDS AND BASES 1. The Bronsted-Lowry definition There are many definitions of acids and bases in existence‚ but the most useful one is the Bronsted-Lowry definition: An acid is a substance which can behave as a proton (re presented as a hydrogen ion‚ H+) donor. Any substance which contains hydrogen bonded to a more electronegative element can thus behave as an acid: HCl == H+ + Cl- H2SO4 == H+ + HSO4- A base is a substance which can behave as a proton acceptor. Any

| An acid is a chemical substance any of various typically water soluble and sour compounds that are capable of reacting with a base to for a salt‚ that redden litmus paper‚ that evolve hydrogen on reaction with various metals‚ that in water solution yield hydrogen ions‚ and that have hydrogen containing molecules or ions able to give up a proton to a base or that are substances able to accept and unshared pair of electrons from a base. An alkaline is a chemical compound that neutralizes or effervesces

Is there really such a thing as rain with acid in it? Yes‚ acid rain is a very real phenomenon worldwide‚ and it’s been documented since the 1800s‚ as the Industrial Revolution caused the burning of fossil fuels like coal‚ gas and oil. When these fuels or any other organic material like wood or paper are burned‚ they release compounds like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrous oxides (NOx) into the air. Are SO2 and NOx the causes of acid rain? Indirectly‚ yes. When SO2 and NOx enter the atmosphere

Standardization of NaOH and Determination of Unknown Acid KEYWORDS: quantitative analysis‚ titration‚ buret‚ endpoint‚ standardization‚ half-equivalence point‚ calorimetric titration‚ potentiometric titration ABSTRACT: The concentration of sodium hydroxide was determined by colorimetric titration‚ and the identity of an unknown acid was determined by potentiometric titration. In the first titration‚ a strong acid standard‚ potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP)‚ was used‚ to determine the concentration

Replacement Reactions (Data and Calculations) Objective: Classify the chemical reaction through observation‚ which each reagent produce when mixed with another reagent. After careful observation‚ be able to prove each observation using the net ionic equation. Background: First‚ a double-replacement reaction is when two cations in different compound switch anions‚ AX + BZ → BY. If either compounds are insoluble a precipitate occurs‚ and if there is no precipitate formed there is no reaction. Also‚

Describe the role of calcium in muscle contraction‚ where it is stored‚ and how it is released and recycled. Calcium storage‚ release‚ and recycling Muscles need to be malleable or have plasticity in order to function correctly. This is where calcium comes into the picture. All muscles use calcium molecules for regulatory and signaling purposes. Contraction control and relaxation control by calcium is achieved first by the activation of troponin-tropomyosin with the actin filaments. The second

Analysis of Soda Ash and Carbonate-Bicarbonate Mixture Submitted: February 27‚ 2013 Department of Chemical Engineering‚ Faculty of Engineering University of Santo Tomas España‚ Manila Abstract A standard acid solution like HCl can be used as titrant for the analysis of both soda ash and a carbonate-bicarbonate mixture. In the analysis of soda ash‚ the volume needed to neutralize the soda ash is used to compute for its alkalinity‚ in this experiment we obtained a 17.6 % alkalinity with an error
