are several purposes to the amino acid lab experiment. One reason is to help us understand the concept of acids and bases and how they interact with one another. Another purpose is to understand what occurs when placed with the existence of buffers. Lastly‚ the experiment is to help us understand the applications of titrations and how it can be used in a real world setting‚ in this case‚ the identification of an amino acid. One must understand that amino acids all have special characteristics

Chem 253 Lab 1: Acid/Base Properties of an Antimicrobial Agent 09/03/13 Purpose The purpose was to determine the acid and base properties of the antimicrobial agent sodium benzoate. Theory Sodium has mainly been used in food processing to avoid growth of bacteria and harmful microorganisms. It is commonly used to preserve foods and beverages that have an acidic pH. Rather than benzoic acid‚ sodium benzoate is used because it is generally soluble in most aqueous solutions but benzoic

For my project‚ I had to create my own acid-base indicator and find out what happens when it is placed in an acidic solution (vinegar) and a basic solution (dissolved baking soda). I chose my indicator to be a fruit because fruits can be very effective at determining how acidic or basic a substance is. My fruit was a blueberry‚ but I couldn’t use raw blueberries because it’s not going to give me the best results. I had to make blueberry juice. I did this by placing several blueberries in a blender

Tacula‚ Jassy Camille D.S. Activity 11 Acids and Bases I. Objectives * To identify some acids and some bases which are used in common household products. * To construct an operational definition of an acid and a base‚ using the characteristic properties of those substances. II. Procedure A. For acids * Place 2ml each of dilute acetic acid‚ hydrochloric acid‚ sulfuric acid‚ carbonated drink (colorless) and calamansi juice extract in

Acids and Bases Are Everywhere Every liquid you see will probably have either acidic or basic traits. Water (H2O) can be both an acid and a base‚ depending on how you look at it. It can be considered an acid in some reactions and a base in others. Water can even react with itself to form acids and bases. It happens in really small amounts‚ so it won’t change your experiments at all. It goes like this: 2H2O --> H2O + H+ + OH- --> H3O+ + OH- See how the hydrogen ion was transferred? Most of the

because of the amount of time given in summer lab we had to save time and cut some days out. We were able to do this by being given our own Salicylic acid (SA) prepared for us instead of having to used wintergreen to make it and recrystallize it. In addition‚ we skipped the qualitative test of our purity for SA and Aspirin (ASA). The first part of this experiment is the preparation of ASA from SA were‚ we prepared our aspirin from the collected salicylic acid. A screw-capped vial was weighed empty to

School of Nursing‚ Midwifery and Interprofessional Studies. With reference to acid-base balance explore the role of the respiratory system in maintaining blood pH? ‘We live and die at the cellular level’ (Reid‚ 2011). Homeostasis is crucial for normal cellular function. Acid-base homeostasis is the part of human homeostasis and refers to the balance between the production and elimination of H+ hydrogen ions (pH) within the body fluids (William‚ Simpkins‚ 2001‚ p.236).
