Acids and Bases Shane Purpose- To study the relationship between pH and metabolism. 10/21/13 Materials- see attached Per. D Biology Procedure- see attached Data and Results- see attached Theory- PH stands for the power of hydrogen. People refer to the pH scale as a tool for finding out if a substance is acidic‚ basic‚ or neutral. This scale goes from zero to fourteen. The number seven is neutral. Any number higher than seven on this scale is basic. Any number lower is acidic

Salt Purpose: Could NaCl be made using NaHCO3‚ hydrochloric acid‚ and a boiling chip? Hypothesis: If I combined NaHCO3‚ hydrochloric acid‚ and a boiling chip I think it will form NaCl because when you balance the equation it makes a new chemical reaction. Materials needed: test tube cleaner‚ test tube‚ test tube tongs‚ hot plate‚ a scale‚ graduated cylinder‚ water‚ goggles‚ fire retardant glove‚ beaker‚ test tube holder‚ a scoopula‚ hydrochloric acid‚ sodium bicarbonate‚ soap‚ pipette‚ and a boiling

Method: place about 100cm3 of distilled water in a flask and add about one spatula of solid calcium hydroxide. Stopper the flask and shake well for one minute. Leave to stand for at least 24 hours. Titrate 10cm3 samples against 0.05 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid solution using methyl orange as an indicator. Obtain enough results to calculate an accurate average‚ and then calculate the number of moles of calcium hydroxide solution in 1 dm3 of solution. RAW DATA Titration number | Final volume Ca(OH)2

The rate of reaction is a measure of change that happens in a single unit of time. When a reaction takes place the particles of the reactants collide

Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic‚ meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen

PRODUCTION OF CITRIC ACID Introduction: Citric acid is a White solid‚C3H4OH(COOH)3‚soluble in water and slightly soluble in organic solvents‚ which melts at 153 oC. Aqueous solutions of citric acid are slightly more acidic than solutions of acetic acid. Traces of citric acid are found in numerous plants and animals‚ because it is a nearly universal intermediate product of metabolism. Large amount of the acid are found in the juice of citrus fruits‚ from which it is precipitated by the

Design Lab #17: Reaction Rate - Calcium Carbonate & Hydrochloric acid Design D: Introduction: In this experiment calcium carbonate will be put into a flask and mixed with hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride‚ water and carbon dioxide. The formula for this reaction is: CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine how the surface area of CaCO3(s) affects the rate of

The Dissolving of Solid Sodium Hydroxide in Water Procedure: 1. Measure out approximately 200 mL of distilled water and pour it into the calorimeter. Stir carefully with a thermometer until a constant temperature is reached. Record the volume of water and the constant initial temperature of the water on your data table. 2. Place a plastic measuring trough on top of the digital balance‚ and then zero the balance (press the tare button) so that the mass of the trough will be "ignored" and

Worked solutions to student book questions Chapter 4 Analysing acids and bases Q1. Antacid tablets should normally be chewed before they are swallowed. Why? A1. Antacid tablets are normally chewed to provide a larger surface area for faster reaction with stomach acids. Q2. A laboratory test to determine how much hydrochloric acid is neutralised by a brand of antacid does not give a complete picture of its effectiveness in the stomach. What other factors might be important? A2. Other factors to

Objective: To determine relative molecular mass of a soluble base‚ X2 CO3 by carrying out an acid-base titration with the following reaction ‚ knowing the amount of hydrochloric acid used and the amount of substance Z used. Hypothesis: The X in substance Z is a group 1 element because substance Z is a soluble metal carbonate and would most likely be sodium or potassium because these elements are commonly used.
