Synthesis of Salicylic Acid and Potentiometric Determination of its Purity and Dissociation Constant ------------------------------------------------- Abstract The purpose of the study is to synthesize salicylic acid from the ester‚ methyl salicylate‚ and determine the acid’s dissociation constant and purity. The ester was converted to salicylic acid by base hydrolysis. The products were refluxed and recrystallized‚ to ensure maximum purity‚ and filtered‚ dried‚ and weighed. The melting point

Running Head: Factors Affecting Citric Acid Production by Aspergillus niger Factors Affecting Citric Acid Production by Aspergillus niger Ong Chia Swing‚ Student. Nilai University 1. Introduction Citric acid is a natural preservative or conservative that is used to add an acidic‚ sour taste to foods and beverages. In the context of biochemistry‚ the conjugate base of citric acid which is the citrate plays an important role as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle which occurs in the metabolism

ACID ATTACKS UNDER IPC : AN ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION Acid attacks are a form of violence against women‚ where the perpetrator splashes a person or object with acid in order to deface or kill them. Although acid throwing‚ also known as vitriol age‚ has been a form of violence known to be committed throughout history‚ there has been a steep rise in the cases documented in recent years‚ particularly in certain South Asian countries. Some of this increase has been attributed to better documentation

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They band together in chains to form the stuff from which your life is born. Think of amino acids as Legos for your life. It’s a two-step process: Amino acids get together and form peptides or polypeptides. It is from these groupings that proteins are made. And there’s not just one kind of amino acid. A total of 20 different kinds of amino acids form proteins. The kinds of amino acids determine the shape of the proteins formed. Commonly recognized

Abstract The bromination of trans-cinnamic acid was completed to determine dibromide’s stereochemical structure and its mechanism. After the addition of bromine to trans-cinnamic acid‚ the product was identified by its melting point and infrared spectrum resulting in erythro-2‚3-Dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid after comparing similar properties. Introduction In this lab‚ the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid was completed to determine dibromide’s stereochemical structure‚ and from there determine

air or be left in the ash of the burnt battery. By draining and neutralising acid from the batteries and recycling them our problem is solved. The one world factors I shall be looking at this from is environment and economic. By: www.leadbatteryuniversity.uk Batteries must always be drained before they enter the recycling process. They should only be drained to a purpose built effluent treatment plant so that the acid can be treated and neutralized. Next the batteries are broken in a hammer mill

Does the PH level of acids in our stomach affect the digestion proteins? Yes‚ if the acidity in my/a stomach is high in terms of the PH balance then the proteins in our stomach will be digested faster because acids are known to breakdown and eat away at many objects. The purpose of this project was to observe how the digestion of protein varies at different pH levels. This project in my eyes helps society by finding the best types of food (i.e. ones with higher/ lower acidity and pH balance)

Standardization of hydrochloric acid by sodium carbonate Concentrated hydrochloric acid is roughly 11 M. Pour out into a measuring cylinder about 2 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Transfer it to a 250 cm3 flask and make up to the mark with water. Shake well. Put some pure sodium hydrogen carbonate or anhydrous sodium carbonate into an evaporating dish and heat gently over a low flame for about fifteen minutes‚ stirring continuously. Take care not to heat the mass too strongly or fusion
