Reshmi Nair Title: Determination of Aspirin through back titration. Aim: To determine the concentration of Aspirin in a tablet using NaOH and Hcl. Research Question: What is the concentration of Aspirin in a normal tablet? Background: Aspirin is the general name for acetylsalicylic acid (ASA); it is also the trademark of the drug produced by Bayer in Germany. In eighty countries‚ aspirin is a registered trademark‚ but in other places the term aspirin refers to ASA by itself or as an ingredient

DATE PERFORMED: JANUARY 6‚ 2011 SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT OF A REACTION ABSTRACT The objective of the experiment was to determine the equilibrium constant of the reaction forming ferric thiocyanate through the use of Spectrophotometry. For the calibration‚ five standard solutions were prepared‚ then their respective absorbance values that were obtained through the use of the spectrophotometer‚ were plotted versus the concentration of the analyte so that a calibration

enzyme involves monitoring the change in absorbance of the reaction medium at 405 nm. Exergonic (i.e energy producing reactions) exhibit a negative free energy change. Sometimes these reactions occur spontaneously‚ but generally some energy must be supplied to initiate the reaction; in other word an energy barrier exists between the reactants and the products. The “energy barrier” represents the activation energy of a chemical reaction. In this practical the activation energy of hydrolysis

Acid: A chemical substance (typically‚ a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid) that neutralizes alkalis‚ dissolves some metals‚ and turns litmus red. Ionic Dissociation: Dissociation in chemistry and biochemistry is a general process in which ionic compounds (complexes‚ or salts) separate or split into smaller particles‚ ions‚ or radicals‚ usually in a reversible manner. Strength of Acids: The strength of an acid refers to its ability or tendency to lose a proton. There are very few strong acids. A

Factors affecting the rate of reaction between a metal and an acid The rate of a reaction can be measured by the rate at which a reactant is used up‚ or the rate at which a product is formed. The temperature‚ concentration‚ pressure of reacting gases‚ surface area of reacting solids‚ and the use of catalysts‚ are all factors which affect the rate of a reaction. Individual properties of substances also affect reaction rates. The scope of these properties is broad and there are few generalizations

Partners: Isha Dihora‚ Shivandu Patel‚ Dilan Kapadia Standardizing a Solution of Potassium Hydroxide Abstract: In this lab‚ a prepared solution of Potassium Hydroxide will be standardized. The solution we will be standardized by performing multiple calculations to ensure the upmost accuracy. The acid used for this titration will be KHP (C4H5KO4). Phenolphthalein we be added to the beaker of the dissolved acid before the titration will be added. The titration will stop when the solution turns pink

Experiment 7 INVESTIGATING STOICHIOMETRY WITH SODIUM SALTS OF CARBONIC ACID Introduction In this experiment we are going to get a better understanding of chemical stoichiometry. We are going to be reacting sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with hydrochloric acid (HCl). To start off the mass of two unknown substances (being the sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate) will be taken. We will need to construct balanced equations for both of the reactants with the HCl and

Determination of the activation energy of an enzyme catalysed reaction Introduction In this practical the aim for this experiment was to find out the catalytic power of alkaline phosphate‚ as well as the rate of reaction and the activation energy of p-nitrophenol phosphate. Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyse a chemical reaction. ‘Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction making it easier to proceed’ [1]. This allows molecules to have more energy therefore
