Title: Acids‚ Bases & Buffers Objectives: 1. To understand the acid-base chemistry. 2. To prepare and evaluate a buffer system 3. To measure the buffering capacity of two types of isotonic drinks. Introduction: There are acid-forming‚ basic forming and neutral food‚ however the acid or alkaline properties of a food is unable to judge by the actual acidity of the food itself. For example‚ citrus fruits such as lemon are acidic‚ but they are alkaline-forming when we consume and digest it. Therefore

Which color of the spectrum of sunlight yields the highest temperature? My hypothesis is that the blue/violet part will have the highest temperature. The blue/violet part has the highest frequency out of all the colors on the visible light spectrum and it also has the highest amount of energy. Therefore‚ I hypothesize that it will have to the highest temperature as well. After conducting the experiment‚ I noticed that during the duration of five minutes‚ the temperatures of all four thermometers

A pH meter is an electronic instrument used to measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of a liquid (though special probes are sometimes used to measure the pH of semi-solid substances). A typical pH meter consists of a special measuring probe (a glass electrode) connected to an electronic meter that measures and displays the pH reading. The probe The pH probe measures pH as the activity of hydrogen ions surrounding a thin-walled glass bulb at its tip. The probe produces a small voltage (about 0

have several different grades of files and buffers. That’s why we carry files with abrasive qualities from 80 grit all the way to 360 grit. Often‚ you will use more than one single grit file for a single treatment. All technicians should be able to finish a treatment using the correct and safe techniques that leave the clients nails looking good. Cutting corners and bad technique will result in a poor finish. As a technician you will use files and buffers during: Manicures‚ Pedicures‚ Gel enhancements

Buffer Post Lab Calculation 1. We added too much NaOH to our buffer 1 solution. The original pH was 5.32‚ with 10mL of buffer and 10mL of DI water. We added 5mL of NaOH and the pH changed to 12.12. If 5 mL changed the pH by about 7‚ then we predict that about 2 mL of NaOH would change the pH by about 2. This prediction is based on the fact that 2.5mL is half of 5mL‚ and 3.5 is half of 7‚ so adding a little less than 2.5mL would give us a difference of about 2. For the buffer 2 solution‚ the original

CHEMICAL REACTIONS: ACID-BASE BUFFERS Short Overview Acids and bases represent two of the most common classes of compounds. Many studies have been done on these compounds‚ and their reactions are very important. Perhaps the most important reaction is the one in which an acid and base are combined‚ resulting in the formation of water (in aqueous solution) and a salt; this reaction is called neutralization. A buffer solution is a solution that contains both an acid and a salt

The purpose of this experiment was to test how effective certain homogenates were as buffers. Buffers are devices that keep pH within maintainable boundaries so something can function. When something is too basic (has too much OH-) the buffer adds H+ and vice versa in order to create water to keep the pH at an acceptable range. Each group (I was with William Yung for this experiment) was tasked with testing one homogenate. The homogenate tested by our group was liquid spinach. Each team added HCl

The effect temperature has on the activity of the enzyme α- amylase. Introduction Enzymes are a biological catalysts‚ which means that they speed up the chemical reactions in living organisms. Almost all of enzymes are energized protein molecules that catalyse and regulate nearly all biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. The reason in which enzymes are sensitive to heat‚ pH and heavy metal ions is because they are made up of proteins. The food we eat is turned into energy by enzymes

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to measure the effects of changes in temperatures and pH on enzyme activity in skeletal muscle‚ particularly the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). LDH is a glycolytic enzyme which converts pyruvate to lactate in the following equation: LDH Pyruvate+ NADH ------------ Lactate + NAD The reaction above can move in both directions‚
