ChE 171 Assignment 1. Essential and Non-essential Amino acids Amino acids are organic compounds which contain both an amino group and a carboxyl group and may be divided into two groups basing on whether they are produced internally by the human body or not: essential and non-essential amino acids (hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu‚ 2012). An essential amino acid (indispensable amino acid) is an amino acid which an organism needs to ingest because it is necessary for

Acetylsalicylic acid is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in aspirin and can be synthesized by the esterification reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst. An esterification reaction is when an acid is converted into an ester by combining with an alcohol and removing a water molecule. When heating the salicylic acid mixture in the warm water bath‚ the mixture should be removed from the bath within 8 minutes‚ to reduce the chance of the acetylsalicylic acid decomposing

Chem 101 Section ADF Lab 4: Weak Acid Unknown Procedure: When testing the acid‚ use only between 0.2 g and 0.3 g for each trial (get as precise a measurement as you can). The general procedure is to weigh out your acid‚ dissolve it in water‚ add a couple drops of the indicator (phenolphthalein)‚ and then add the sodium hydroxide until you note a color change (from clear to pink). When the color change occurs‚ you have added enough base to completely react with the acid (the endpoint). You are allowed

acetic acid present in commercial vinegar and the weight-to-volume percent of ammonia present in window cleaners. Acid-base titrations can be conducted using the above samples against standardized aqueous NaOH and standardized aqueous HCl solutions respectively. 2. Introduction: Acetic acid‚ commonly known as ethanoic acid CH3COOH‚ is found in commercial vinegar. It is a weak organic acid that gives vinegar its characteristic pungent smell‚ sour taste and slight acidity. Being an acid‚ vinegar

Purpose/Problem Statement: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the change of heat in the water when we change the color of the bottom of the solar cooker. Independent Variable- Color of bottom of cooker Dependent Variable- Change in temperature Hypothesis- If you make the color of the bottom of the cooker darker than the water will get hotter because darker colors absorb more heat. Procedure 1. Gather materials ( attached) 2. Set up solar cooker with white bottom 3. Put beaker

Small samples of acetaminophen‚ acetylsalicylic acid‚ cellulose‚ starch‚ and caffeine were obtained. These samples were then placed into seperate sets of test tubes that contained water‚ acetone‚ or dichloroethane. Solubilities were then tested for each sample in each solution which can be seen in Table 5. Next‚ four random pills were obtained and weights were taken of each. Each of the pills were grinded up using a separate mortar and pestle. The grinded up pills were then weighed. The grinded

Protein and Amino Acid Supplementation in Sports The popularity of increasing the “performance-enhancing” supplements‚ Protein and amino acids‚ has flourished among all athletes. This increase is attributed to the belief by many of the athletes that it provides endurance‚ strength and speed enhancement. Amino Acids (AA) enhanced physical feats‚ improved energy and recovery sooner from fatigue. The three vital Amino Acids which were given a high focal point among athletes are leucine‚ isoleucine

Task 4 – The Maintenance of the Acid – Base balance in the body (D1) pH is measured based on its acidity and alkalinity. There are many substances around the body that have different pH values. A pH of 7 is usually considered neutral‚ neither acid nor alkaline‚ this is the pH of water. In the body the acids and bases need to be in very close balance‚ this is called ‘acid base homeostasis. If it goes off too far in either direction then it could be fatal to the body. For example in the body the blood
