Introduction: In this lab‚ we measured the acid-base strengths of seven separate organic compounds. The lab was painless to perform‚ it consisted of adding a small amount of one of the organic compounds to a well‚ and testing the pH via testing paper. The color of the paper was then analyzed to determine what the pH of the compound was. The structures were benzenesulfonic acid‚ benzoic acid‚ benzyl alcohol‚ benzylamine‚ p-cresol‚ and p-toluidine. My initial hypothesis about the acidity/basicity
Premium Chemistry Acid Base
Carboxylic acids are compounds which contain a carboxyl group‚ -COOH group‚ where the -COOH group is attached either to a hydrogen atom or to an alkyl group. One of the example of carboxylic acid is benzoic acid( benzene carboxylic acid) which has a benzene connected to the carboxyl carboxyl group‚ -COOH group. It has a formula of C6H5COOH. The carbon atom of a carboxyl group has a high oxidation state. Therefore‚ that many of the chemical reactions used for their preparation are oxidations. In

Acid in the human stomach When people refer to acid they usually see it as a corrosive liquid that can dissolve metals or change the color of a substance. So they think of acid as a dangerous matter for the body and believe it can easily dissolve your skin. What I have previously listed are indeed properties of certain acids‚ such as Hydrofluoric Acid which can cause irreversible tissue damage if it comes in contact with skin‚ but not all acids are this strong. As a matter of fact what a lot of

(Fe3+ ) form. Ferric form is not usually absorbed in the body. In the stomach‚ there is low pH of 2 due to presence of gastric acids such as Hydrochloric and Ascorbic acids. These acids provide an acidic environment for reduction of ferric iron to ferrous (Fe2+). Ferrous iron can be absorbed in the body system. As in following equation of iron (iii) reaction with Ascorbic acid ‚ the product is iron (ii) chloride which is soluble 2 Fe3+ (s) + C6 H8 O6 (aq) → 2 Fe2+ (aq) + C6 H6 O6 (aq) + 2 H (aq)+

Acid-Base Strengths of Organic Compounds By: Chris Frankmore Due Date: February 15‚ 2011 Resonance Benzenesulfonic Acid Benzoic Acid Benzyl Alcohol Benzylamine P-Cresol P-Toluidine Acid/Base | Structure | pH | Why It is a strong/weak acid/base | Benzenesulfonic Acid | | 1 | This is a strong acid because it has a pH of 1. Another reason why this is a strong acid is that its conjugate base has strong resonance stabilization

adopting new technologies and are using feed acidifiers for supplementing the diets of animals. The market value of propionic acid as a feed acidifier was the highest in 2012‚ and is projected to grow with the increasing demand for feed acidifiers in the livestock industry. The benefits of feed acidifiers are leading the market demand in the feed industry. The fumaric acid market is comparatively small and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2013 to 2018. The feed acidifiers market is projected

– two groups attached to O are identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH2CH3 – diethyl ether Unsymmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are not identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH3 – ethyl methyl ether Physical Properties of Ethers: Ethers have much lower boiling points compared to alcohols of comparable MWs. BPs of ethers increases with increasing MW. BPs of isomeric ethers increase with increasing alkyl chain length. BPs of ethers are about the same as those of alkanes of comparable MWs. Solubility

Introduction The reference of America as the melting pot results from the fact that the country has many of its people coming from everywhere across the world and thus bringing with them different customs‚ beliefs‚ and cultures that should be assimilated to one. The purpose of the assimilation of the different cultures and customs is to make America a one nation. However‚ this is in contrary to the common belief since America is actually not a ‘melting pot’. Most researchers instead argue that America
