potential of vitamin C to prevent and cure diseases such as cancer‚ flu and cold by using high amounts of vitamin C. First of all‚ Vitamin C‚ also known as ascorbic acid‚ is a molecule with complex characteristics despite its simple structure. It is an “elusive vitamin‚ very variable in concentration even in food groups (fruits and vegetables) that are recognised as good sources of the vitamin‚ very soluble in water and very sensitive to alkali‚ oxidation and heat” (Nobile & Woodhill‚ Vitamin C : the Mysterious

Chemistry Experiment Double Indicator Titration 1 Aim The purpose of this experiment is to find the composition of a sample of sodium carbonate mixture by titration. Introduction The reaction between sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid occurs in 2 stages‚ with the formation of hydrogen carbonate ion as the intermediate product. Na2CO3(aq) + HCl [pic] NaHCO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) NaHCO3(aq) + HCl(aq) [pic] NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) [pic] Requirements Hydrochloric

Synopsis The objective of this experiment is to determine the percentage by mass of calcium carbonate‚CaCO3 in toothpaste using back titration technique. A known weight portion of toothpaste is obtained to react with known volume and concentration of standard acid solution. After completing the reaction‚ the resulting solution containing excess acid is back titrated with known volume and concentration of standard base solution. Determination of excess acid after reaction allow us to calculate the

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the measurement of the actual volume contents of volumetric glassware. If there is a slight variation in this instrument‚ it would cause systematic error and thus‚ the accuracy of results of an experiment or investigation would be affected. All volumetric glassware has marking on it. It is either being marked with

Experiment 20: pH Titration: Phosphoric Acid in Cola Drinks Post-lab Assignment or Report The post-lab report for this experiment is due at the beginning of the following lab period. Student notes for the lab will be available on the lab T-Square site. Learning Objectives Students will be able to... • Use a known mass of solid acid to determine an unknown concentration of a basic solution (this process is called “standardization”). • Execute a titration using good‚ reliable technique.

Introduction: The purpose behind (the first step in) this experiment is to show that similarly to week 1‚ the molarity of an acid or base in solution can be determined (so long as one value’s is known) using titration. In this case though‚ finding the molarity of the acid used in the reaction is then used to determine the percent of that acid in a vinegar solution and compared to the standard value for % acid present in vinegar. The second part of the experiment was to see if by titrating a solution

Investigating the Effect of Caffeine on the Heart Rate of Daphnia Daphnia are extremely small aquatic invertebrates. They are transparent‚ so you are able to see their internal organs; this means it is easy to monitor their heart rate by observing them through a microscope [1]. Physiological results from caffeine consumption include the stimulation of heart rate‚ blood pressure‚ metabolism‚ body temperature and alertness. [2] In this practical investigation the aim was to determine whether the hypothesis

We also calibrated a beaker and 50 mL buret. We also calculate the difference between the expected density and density obtained by our team. c. What happened? Briefly give the result (or results) of the experiment in 1 sentence. We noticed the calibration marks on the beakers were taken only to be an approximate

provides us with one method for determining the amount of either the acid or the base in a solution. The general method employed is that of titration. Titration is a procedure for determining the amount of substance A by adding a carefully measured volume of a solution with known concentration of B until the reaction between them is just complete. Titrations are not use exclusively with acids and bases but anytime you need to determine the concentration of a species in a solution. In this lab‚ we

Date: October 29‚ 2014 Title: Thermometric Titration Purpose: To determine the concentration of sulphuric acid by thermometric titration Background Information: A thermometric titration is a titration technique where the endpoints of the reaction are located from the enthalpy change between the reagents. In thermometric titration we make use of the fact that reactions in solution are accompanied by temperature changes and thus it is possible to follow the course of the reaction with a thermometer
