The purpose of this experiment was to test how effective certain homogenates were as buffers. Buffers are devices that keep pH within maintainable boundaries so something can function. When something is too basic (has too much OH-) the buffer adds H+ and vice versa in order to create water to keep the pH at an acceptable range. Each group (I was with William Yung for this experiment) was tasked with testing one homogenate. The homogenate tested by our group was liquid spinach. Each team added HCl

Procedure: Day 1: Buffer preparation First‚ the buffer was prepared by using the formula as follows: Figure 1: Calculation for prepare 0.5 M Tris buffer at pH 6.8 3.033 g of Tris was weighed and placed in 400 mL beaker. Then‚ 25 mL of distilled water was added into the beaker that contained Tris. The mixture was dissolved using the stirring rod‚ and then the magnetic stirring bar was placed in the beaker for further dissolve when measuring the pH. The pH meter was used to measure the solution

Preparation of buffer solutions 1. Activation buffer (Mixed Phosphate Buffer‚ pH 5.5) Solution 1: An accurately weighed quantity of 1.61 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate was dissolved in sufficient deionized water to produce 100 mL of solution. Solution 2: An accurately weighed quantity of 35.81 g of disodium hydrogen phosphate was dissolved in sufficient volume of deionized water to produce 100 mL. Accurately measured volume of 96.4 mL of solution 1 was mixed with 3.6 mL of solution 2 to get

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

Lab Report Marisa McKinney P. 2 Purpose: To investigate the periodic variation of density in Group 4A elements. Background: When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number‚ they exhibit periodic recurrence of properties. Elements in the same group in the periodic table tend to have similar physical and chemical properties. These similarities are due‚ in large part‚ to similarities among the electron configurations of the elements in a group. You can find periodic
