Lewis Acids and BasesLewis acids and bases play an important role in chemical reactions because‚ except oxidation-reduction reactions‚ almost every reaction could be categorized as an acid-base reaction. Bases in water solutions show certain specific characteristics: bitter taste‚ feel slippery‚ and turn litmus paper blue. Acids in water solutions show these most common characteristics: sour taste‚ react with metals‚ and turn litmus paper red. The understanding of chemical reactions‚ such as acid

Class X Question 1: Chapter 1 – Chemical Reactions and Equations Science Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air? Answer Magnesium is very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper to remove this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed into air. Question

Acid: A chemical substance (typically‚ a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid) that neutralizes alkalis‚ dissolves some metals‚ and turns litmus red. Ionic Dissociation: Dissociation in chemistry and biochemistry is a general process in which ionic compounds (complexes‚ or salts) separate or split into smaller particles‚ ions‚ or radicals‚ usually in a reversible manner. Strength of Acids: The strength of an acid refers to its ability or tendency to lose a proton. There are very few strong acids. A

Lauric Acid Lauric acid‚ also known as Dodecanoic Acid‚ was discovered in 1849 by Marrsson T. It was first discovered in Lauraceae seeds‚ but it is also commonly found in soaps‚ vegetable oil‚ coconut oil‚ and breast milk. Lauric Acid is a clear‚ solid compound that is insoluble in water. It also comes in the form of a white powdery substance. The chemical formula is C12H24O2. It has a molecular weight of 200.32 g/mol. Lauric Acid also has a melting point of 44 C and a boiling point of 289.9

Investigating the Effect of Concentration on the Rate of Enzyme Catalysed Reaction To investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of enzyme catalysed reaction I must know all the factors that affect it in order to investigate in this. Here are all the factors: Temperature- Enzyme like it warm but not too hot. Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which speed up chemical reactions. They work most efficiently at the optimum point (37°C). If they are below 37°C they will work

The speed of chemical reactions – class experiment By Julia Shuker Year 10 science – Miss Phillips – Term 2 – 2013 – Julia Shuker Aim The aim of the experiment was to investigate the factors that increased or decreased the speed of chemical reactions between two different chemical reactions. Hypothesis If certain factors‚ such as concentration‚ temperature‚ catalyst and surface area are increased then the reaction rate will also increase due to the particles

The hypothesis If a chemical reaction occurs‚ then there will be indicators of a chemical change‚ was supported throughout this experiment. Throughout this experiment there were several reactions that took place‚ and an indicator of such chemical reactions could be seen throughout each one. The first piece of identifiable evidence was present in the first step‚ which was when copper (II) nitrate and sodium hydroxide were combined. When stirred‚ a blue precipitate formed at the bottom of the test

Experiment 3: Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction Abstract: In this experiment the objectives were to try and predict the amount of product that was produced in the precipitation reaction of calcium carbonate by using stoichiometry. Then learn how to figure out the actual yield‚ theoretical yield and percent yield of the experiment. Experiment and Observation: The first step in the experiment was to weigh 1g of CaCl2 +2 H2O‚ then pour it into the 100mL
