monobasic oxalate‚ or hydrogen oxalate. The equilibrium constant (Ka) for loss of the first proton is 5.37×10−2 (pKa = 1.27). The loss of the second proton‚ which yields the oxalate ion has an equilibrium constant of 5.25×10−5 (pKa = 4.28). These values imply that‚ in solutions with neutral pH‚ there is no oxalic acid‚ and only trace amounts of hydrogen oxalate.[1] The literature is often unclear on the distinction between H2C2O4‚ HC2O4-‚ and C2O42-‚ and the collection of species is referred to oxalic

Ancient Greece has brought about many methods of art that we see in our everyday lives. Many artists today even try to mimic artists in ancient Greece‚ but often fail to do so. One of the most important aspects to come out of Greek art is the architecture‚ most notable the three architectural orders of ancient Greece‚ Doric‚ Ionic and Corinthian. Each components of this order has a system of inter dependable parts whose proportions are based upon mathematical ratios. The basic components of all three

Corrosion of Metals Introduction Have you ever had a bike that went rusty‚ figure 1? If the paint is scratched and the rust allowed to spread‚ it is very difficult to repair the frame so it looks as good as new again. Rusting costs us millions of pounds each year‚ either through replacing things or through trying to prevent it happening in the first place. Figure 1: Bike rusting. In this booklet you learn about rusting and ways of stopping it‚ followed by a look at another metal‚ aluminium that

Title of Experiment 12: The Effect of Ionic Strength on the solubility of an Electrolyte Aim: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the thermodynamics variable of enthalpy‚ ∆H for the dissolution reaction of boric acid in water. The solubility of boric acid was measured over a range of various temperatures by finding out at what temperature crystallization began for solution of different molarities. A graphical relationship between the natural logarithm of molal concentration and the inverse
