Acid Strength Grade 10- Science (chemistry) 11/23/2012 Mariana Boff Acids Strength Acids are substances that contain hydrogen atoms which detach to form hydrogen ions when the acid is dissolved. Acids are divided into two main categories: the strong and weak acids. The stronger ones are very corrosive and can cause severe skin burns‚ here are some examples: nitric acid (HNO3)‚ hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The weaker ones are less corrosive and when in touch with the

Separation of Amino Acids by Paper Chromatography Chromatography is a common technique for separating chemical substances. The prefix “chroma‚” which suggests “color‚” comes from the fact that some of the earliest applications of chromatography were to separate components of the green pigment‚ chlorophyll. You may have already used this method to separate the colored components in ink. In this experiment you will use chromatography to separate and identify amino acids‚ the building blocks of proteins

CARBOXYLIC ACID Introduction: Organic compounds containing (–C(O)–OH) as a functional group are called carboxylic acids. The –C (O)-OH group which itself is made up of a carbonyl group (>C=O) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) is called a carboxyl group (carb from carbonyl and oxyl from hydroxyl group). Carboxylic acid may be an aliphatic or an aromatic depending upon whether –C–OH is attached to an alkyl group ( or a hydrogen atom) or an aryl group. Their general formulas are; ALIPHATIC CARBOXYLIC ACID: R–C

Acid rain is considered precipitation in the form of rain‚ snow‚ or fog. It is not regular precipitation. It is precipitation that is polluted by acid. Emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere cause this precipitation to become acidic. These emissions are released into the atmosphere by human activity‚ such as automobiles‚ industries‚ and electrical power plants that burn fossil fuels like coal and oil. When these gases are released‚ they mix with water vapor in the clouds

Acid Property #1: The word acid comes from the Latin word acere‚ which means "sour." All acids taste sour. Well known from ancient times were vinegar‚ sour milk and lemon juice. Aspirin (scientific name: acetylsalicylic acid) tastes sour if you don’t swallow it fast enough. Other languages derive their word for acid from the meaning of sour. So‚ in France‚ we have acide. In Germany‚ we have säure from saure and in Russia‚ kislota from kisly. Base Property #1: The word "base" has a more complex

Lauric Acid Lauric acid‚ also known as Dodecanoic Acid‚ was discovered in 1849 by Marrsson T. It was first discovered in Lauraceae seeds‚ but it is also commonly found in soaps‚ vegetable oil‚ coconut oil‚ and breast milk. Lauric Acid is a clear‚ solid compound that is insoluble in water. It also comes in the form of a white powdery substance. The chemical formula is C12H24O2. It has a molecular weight of 200.32 g/mol. Lauric Acid also has a melting point of 44 C and a boiling point of 289.9

the concentration of the acid solution changes the rate of the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and magnesium metal. • As the metal reacts with the acid‚ hydrogen gas is produced and the metal dissolves. To get an estimate of the rate of reaction‚ the time taken for a small piece of magnesium ribbon to dissolve (disappear) can be measured. This is a “clock reaction” and the reaction rate is proportional to 1/time taken SAFETY Dilute hydrochloric acid is harmful. Wear safety spectacles

Suggested time allotment: 5 to 6 hours MODULE 2 ACIDS AND BASES In Module 1‚ you identified common properties of solutions using different methods. You learned how to report the amount of the components in a given volume of solution. You also found out that not all solutions are liquid. Some of them are solids and others are gases. Towards the end of the module‚ you investigated the factors that affect how fast a solid dissolves in water. Most of the solutions you studied in Module 1

Jennifer Everett Phase 4 DB Instructor: Clement Yedjou 3/10/2015 Acid rain Acid rain is a result of air pollution that is harmful to the environment‚ generally caused by fuels being burnt. When any type of fuel is burnt‚ many different chemicals are produced. These gases that are released react with the water in clouds‚ and the rain from these clouds is acid rain. This type of acid disposition can appear in many other forms besides just rain‚ such as sleet‚ snow‚ and fog (Editorial Board‚ 2013)
