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

CHEM 113L EXP# 7: Buffer Preparation and pH Measurements Revised . AMB 7-2005 Introduction: Even in quite dilute aqueous solutions‚ acetic acid is very slightly ionized (it would approach 99% ionization only as the concentration approaches 0.0 M): HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) Ka = 1.8 x 10-5. H3O+ + C2H3O2- In general‚ if the acid is not extremely weak‚ the pH of a solution of a weak acid is governed by the concentration of the acid and Ka. Under similar conditions‚ the pH of a solution of a weak base

Kinetics of Hydrogen Peroxide February 22‚ 2007 Chem. 1130 TA: Ms. Babcock Room 1830 Chemistry Annex PURPOSE OF THE EXPERIMENT Kinetics of Hydrogen Peroxide The major purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate law constant for the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide. In this experiment‚ the goal will be to try to measure the rate law constant at low acidity‚ since at low acidity‚ anything less than 1.0 x 10-3M‚ the effect of the hydrogen ion is negligible. To calculate

purpose of solutions based on their acidity and basicity. We measure the pH of solutions on a scale with levels from 1-14. These levels may change if other solutions are added‚ we can tell what the pH will be based on its colour. Solutions called buffers change the pH levels of solutions. Coagulation also called curdling is when lumps form in a liquid. Milk coagulates when acidic solutions are added to it. These lumps form because the proteins begin to cluster; the protein that causes this is casein

BUFFERS By: Luis P. Bazan‚ RPh.‚ Ph.D. A buffer solution is a solution of: 1. A weak acid or a weak base and 2. The salt of the weak acid or weak base Both must be present! A buffer solution has the ability to resist changes in pH upon the addition of small amounts of either acid or base. Consider an equal molar mixture of CH3COOH and CH3COONa CH3COOH (aq) H+ (aq) + CH3COO- (aq) Adding more acid creates a shift left IF enough acetate ions are present 16.3 Which of the

aim of this study was to test the rate of reactivity of the enzyme catalase on hydrogen peroxide while subject to different concentrations of an inhibitor. The hypothesis was that hydrogen peroxide will be broken down by catalase into hydrogen and oxygen‚ where a higher concentration of inhibitor will yield less oxygen‚ resultant of a lower rate of reaction. Crushed potato samples of equal weight were placed in hydrogen peroxide solutions of various temperatures. The results showed that less gas was

Title: Preparation of Solutions and Buffers Objectives: 1. To learn and understand the theory‚ principle and formula behind buffers and solutions preparation. 2. To learn the methods for buffers and solutions preparation. Introduction: (Wikipedia‚ 2013) Solute is a substance dissolved in another substance. Solvent is a substance in which the solute is dissolved by it. Solution is a mixture of two or more substances. The amount of solute dissolved in a solvent is called concentration

2.4 Mechanism Of Phosphate Solubilization: In contrary to Nitrogen soluble Phosphorous is not supplied to plants by atmosphere . Due to this reason the primary and secondary minerals and/or organic compounds are the source of P to great extent. In soil solution concentration of phosphorous is least as compare to other nutrients and ranges from0.001 to 1mg/ml Brady and Weil (2002 ).There are widely three categories of P compounds in soil: (i) compounds which are inorganic‚ (ii) organic compounds
