Studying the pH of Strong Acid‚ Weak Acid‚ Salt‚ and Buffer Solutions The purpose of the current experiment was to determine the pH of various hydrochloric acid and acetic acid solutions‚ to determine the pH of various salt solutions‚ to prepare a buffer solution‚ and determine the effects of adding a strong acid and strong base to the buffer solution versus adding a strong acid and strong base to water. The measured pHs for the hydrochloric acid solutions were 1.6‚ 2.2‚ 2.9‚ and 3.8. The measured

CHM 116 Lab Investigations of Buffers I. Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to get an understanding as to how to properly prepare chemical buffers. Also part of this experiment was to gauge the effectiveness of the buffers by measuring their pH levels in various titration solutions‚ using a pH meter. II. Procedure To start our experiment we had to prepare Buffer B‚ which was the .060 M Ammonia/Ammonium solution. Using 3.0 M ammonia‚ we had to calculate

Effect of different temperatures on amylase activity. Literature review This study is an attempt to follow the activity of amylase because it has a major role in the life of living organisms and is found abundantly in them. Amylase is a catalytic enzyme which hydrolyzes starch into maltose and dextrin at a certain temperature (Biology.kenyon.edu‚ 2015). In plants such as fruits and vegetables carbohydrates are referred to starch which is polysaccharide and is converted into disaccharide and eventually

1 The Limits of Amylase 2-1-14 Abstract This report explains the purpose of this experiment in a way that conveys information to the reader about Amylase’s ability to withstand acidic or basic pH. To do this‚ two test tubes were both filled with 5mL of a 5% amylase solution. The first one was filled with an acid‚ while the other was filled with a base. After dropping liquid Iodine and Benedict’s solution into each one‚ the tube with a basic pH tested positive for glucose. The acidic solution

BUFFER SOLUTION (ACID) An acidic buffer solution is simply one which has a pH less than 7. Acidic buffer solutions are commonly made from a weak acid and one of its salts - often a sodium salt. Objectives: 1. Measure the pH of the unknown solution first with indicators and then with pH paper. 2. compare the buffer solution with both a strong acid and a weak acid materials: 2 30 mL beakers 2 100mL volumetric flask 1 10mL pipet 2 aspirator 1 50mL graduated cylinder 1 10mL graduated

A buffer solution can maintains a narrow range of pH even when strong acid are added. In our experiment‚ we can see water is not a buffer‚ water can undergo very big changes when small amounts of strong acid or strong bases are added. When the strong acid‚ 100µl HCl was added into the dd water‚ the pH value changed from 7.38 to 5.83 which mean the dd water has turn into acid. The same phenomenon occurs while strong base‚ 100µl NaOH was added into the dd water. The pH value changed from 7.07 to 9

Buffer systems * prevent major changes in pH of body fluids by removing or releasing H+ * act quickly to prevent excessive changes in H+ concentration. Body’s major extracellular buffer system is “bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer system”. There are 20 parts of (HCO3) to one part of (H2CO3). ---- [20:1]. When the ratio is no longer maintained‚ it will result to acid-base imbalance. Carbon dioxide is a potential acid; when dissolved in water‚ it becomes carbonic acid. Lungs under the

Experiment 2: Starch Hydrolysis by Amylase Theoretical Background Polymers of carbohydrates are called polysaccharides‚ and make up some of the most important naturally occurring compounds [1]. They have thousands of monosaccharide units linked to each other by oxygen bridges. They include starch‚ glycogen‚ and cellulose‚ all three of which yield only glucose when completely hydrolyzed [2].
