Acetic acid‚ a pungent smelling colourless liquid having sour taste‚ used very commonly in the chemistry laboratories. It got its name from Latin word Acetum‚ which means vinegar. Pure acetic acid is also called glacial acetic acid‚ because in winters it freezes easily as temperature goes below 16-17°C. Therefore it looks like as if a small glacier is there in the bottle‚ hence called glacial acetic acid. Laboratory and daily life uses of acetic acid are: (i) Acetic acid is used in household kitchens

Acids‚ Bases‚ and Buffers Introduction: The pH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is‚ ranging from 1-14. The most acidic of all acids are at a pH level of 1 and the most basic of all bases are at 14. The neutral pH level is 7‚ which is what drinking water is. The pH level is determined by the amount of H+ ions present in a solution‚ and the more H+ ions there are the more acidic it is‚ and the lack of these ions results in more basic solutions. One distinguishing feature

Lloyd Term 2‚ 2014 Lauric Acid Experiment Teacher: Mr Oliver Contents 1.0 Introduction Elements and the compounds can exist in distinctive physical states. Liquid‚ solid‚ gas and plasma. Every element and compound has a distinctive melting and boiling point. When a substance reaches its melting and boiling point it will change phase. For example the molecules in a solid being heated gain energy and eventually are able to not only vibrate but

Carboxylic acids are compounds which contain a carboxyl group‚ -COOH group‚ where the -COOH group is attached either to a hydrogen atom or to an alkyl group. One of the example of carboxylic acid is benzoic acid( benzene carboxylic acid) which has a benzene connected to the carboxyl carboxyl group‚ -COOH group. It has a formula of C6H5COOH. The carbon atom of a carboxyl group has a high oxidation state. Therefore‚ that many of the chemical reactions used for their preparation are oxidations. In

Lab Experiment (Water) Question Does Different volume of water affect the dissolving speed of 5 mg of sugar? Aim My aim for this lab report will be to find out how the volume of water can affect the dissolving speed of sugar by doing an experiment and test different volumes of water and test it with the same variables. Hypothesis I think the more amount of water will cause the solute to dissolve faster. This is because as there is more water‚ then there will be more solute to be

Gram staining From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia A Gram stain of mixed Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923‚ Gram-positive cocci‚ in purple) andEscherichia coli (Escherichia coli ATCC 11775‚ Gram-negative bacilli‚ in red)‚ the most common Gram stain reference bacteria Gram staining (or Gram’s method) is a method of differentiating bacterial species into two large groups (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). The name comes from its inventor‚ Hans Christian Gram. Gram staining

Micro Biology Lab Gram Staining Lab Report Purpose The purpose of this lab was to experiment with a staining technique called Gram Staining. Gram Stains is used to identify and classify bacteria‚ it is a differential stain that allows you to classify bacteria as either gram-positive or gram-negative. The foloowing is a breif summerary of the gram staining procedure. Apply the primary stain Apply Mordant Apply decolorizing agent Apply the secondary stain Bacteria that

Reacting Acids and Bases Lab Report Introduction Every liquid‚ except for distilled water‚ has either acidic or basic traits. An acid is sour tasting‚ and gives a sharp stinging pain in a cut or wound‚ and bases taste bitter‚ and feel slippery. A pH scale is used to determine what traits a liquid has; acidic or basic. The scale focuses on OH- (hydroxide ions) and H+ (hydrogen ions). The scale goes from 0 to 14. 7 is distilled water‚ as it is directly in the middle; neither acidic or basic. Acids are

Once this happens the titration is done. Record the final level of the iodine solution remaining in the buret‚ after titration. The difference between the initial level and the final level is the amount of iodine titration solution needed to create a reaction with the vitamin C. Rinse out and dry the Erlenmeyer flask. Repeat step 17-26 three times with the Vitamin
