Chemistry Student Handout Question & Answers 1. Most drugs are weak acids or weak bases. Is cocaine a weak acid or weak base? Cocaine is a weak base. 2. A weak acid or base can exist in 2 forms—charged (ionized) or uncharged (unionized). What is the major factor that determines whether the weak acid or base is charged or un- charged? The amount of H+ in comparison to OH- 3. In what chemical form (charged or uncharged) is cocaine snorted? Smoked? Why are they different? Cocaine (unionized) is

Percent Acetic Acid in Vinegar Introduction: Acetic acid is reactive when combined with calcium carbonate. In this lab‚ we will use vinegar for its acetic acid and egg shells for their calcium carbonate. Marketable vinegar differs in its acetic acid concentration from 4-6%. Calcium carbonate reacts with the acetic acid in vinegar to produce carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and calcium acetate as represented by the equation: CaCO3 + 2HC2H3O2 CO2 + H2O + Ca(C2H3O2)2. The calcium carbonate reacts with

Coulomb’s Law 1. Objective - To study the validity of Coulomb’s law on a simple electroscope. This will be split into two parts; first measuring the the force as a function of distance‚ and second we will look at how the magnitude and sign of the charges affect the force. 2. Theory- As is well known‚ like charges repel and opposite charges attract. That being said‚ the strength of those forces also depends on the distance between the two charges

What is the effect of a non-volatile impurity on the boiling point of a substance? of a volatile impurity? A non volatile impurity which is added to the volatile liquid‚ it’s boiling point will increase. It is due to some of effective surface area which is available for evoperation is occupied by non volatile substance. If another volatile impurity is added then 1) if it does not chemically react with given liquid then boiling point will decreade due to increase in vapour pressure. 2) if it chemically

A prominent Anglo-indian‚ Derozio played a major role in introducing western attitudes into Indian intellectual life. He taught literature and history at Hindu College‚ Calcutta and was perhaps the first nationalist poet of modern India. Drawing inspiration from French Revolution‚ he inspired his pupils to think freely and rationally‚ question all authority‚ oppose meaningless customs and traditions. He started a discussion group—the Academic Association—to enable interaction amongst students. He
