| 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

Acids‚ Bases‚ and pH Lab In this lab the testing of whether or not a substance was an acid or a base occurred. Each substance was tested with the indicators red litmus paper‚ blue litmus paper‚ pH paper‚ phenolthalein‚ bromthymol blue‚ and phenol red. While the substances were tested the group noticed that the substances tested with the red and blue litmus paper‚ the phenolthatein‚ bronthmol blue were the easiest to interpret. The color changes that occurred when this indicator was put into a substance

Homeostatic Mechanism using the Comparitive Melting-Point Method for two Crab Species. Abstract Two crab species‚ Plagusia and Cyclograpsus‚ were collected from a local estuary in the littoral and deep water zone for osmoregulation studies. To examine differences in osmoregulatory mechanisms among the species‚ haemolymph of the specimens was extracted once they were acclimated to varying concentrations of seawater. Using the comparative melting-point‚ capillary tubes were filled with small samples

Ammonia and Hydrochloric Acid Lab Chemistry 1 Abstract The straw should be cut shorter to 8 cm in order to make the solid ring appear in the center of the straw. We achieved our goal‚ cutting the straw caused the gases to not have to go as far‚ and meet in the middle. Background The particles in a gas are very loose and tend to move around a lot very quickly. The particles in a solid are very compact and vibrate but don’t really move very much. The particles in a liquid however are more

Acid Rain Air pollution is one of the most common outcomes of the combustion of fossil fuels. A common air pollutant that is released is sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. This is because when coal and fuels obtained from crude oil are burned‚ sulpur and nitrogen is released into the atmosphere‚ which is eventually joint with the oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. When these gases are emitted in sufficient quantities‚ it reacts with the water and oxygen in the atmosphere

Eric McKenzie Geophysical Science Honors February 14th‚ 2014 ACID RAIN 1. Acid rain is rainfall created by pollution in the atmosphere. When the rainfall occurs‚ it almost always causes harm to the environment. 2. Acid rain is caused by the release of certain compounds into the air‚ including sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These compounds mix and react with chemicals such as oxygen and water and form acid rain. 3. Acid rain can harm the environment by acidifying lakes and streams‚ which greatly

What is Acid Rain? First identified in 1872 in Sweden and studied in the U.S. beginning in the 1950s‚ acid rain is precipitation in the form of rain‚ snow‚ hail‚ dew‚ or fog that transports sulfur and nitrogen compounds from the high atmosphere to the ground. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NO‚ NO2) are bi-products from burning fuels in electric utilities and from other industrial and natural sources. These chemicals react with water‚ oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ and sunlight in the atmosphere

Chapter 4: Nucleic Acids and the RNA World 1. 4.1 – What is a Nucleic Acid? * Nucleic acids are made up of monomers called nucleotides * Three components of a nucleotide: 1. Phosphate group—attached to the 5’ carbon 2. Sugar – carbonyl group and several hydroxyl groups 3. Nitrogenous base * The prime (‘) symbols indicate the carbon being is part of the sugar—not attached to the nitrogenous base. * Four different nucleotides‚ each of which contains a different nitrogenous
