in acid-base titrations Objectives 1. To understand the importance of choosing suitable indicators for detecting the end points of acid-base titrations. 2. To obtain titration curves for some acid-base titrations. Introduction Indicator is usually a weak organic acid or base that has distinctly different colours in its protonated and deprotonated forms. There are 4 types of acid-base titrations such as strong acid-weak base titration‚ weak acid-strong base titration‚ strong acid-strong

Microscale Synthesis of Acetylsalicylic Acid [pic] Introduction: Acetylsalicylic acid is a wonder drug par excellence. It is widely used as an analgesic (pain reliever) and fever depressant. It also reduces inflammation and may even prevent heart attacks. It has a few side effects for some people‚ yet it is safe enough to be sold without a prescription. Because it is easy to prepare‚ aspirin is one of the most inexpensive drugs available. It is produced in vast amounts. In fact‚ industry

produced each year. The chemical name for aspirin is Acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. Aspirin originated from the bark of a White Willow Tree. Chewing the bark however is extremely acidicand irritates the mucous membranes of the mouth and stomach.Then‚ in 1893 a chemist named Felix Hoffman synthesized acetylsalicylic acid. The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. To filter and air dry to find the actual

Experiment 11 Title: Spectrophotometric analysis of caffeine and benzoic acid in soft drink. Name: Tan Herh Lim Name of partner: Sia Ting Wai‚ Chong Zheng Yee Date: Lecturer: Dr. Neo Kian Eang Practical class: P1 Objective: To obtain the absorbance of the caffeine and benzoic acid in soft drinks. Introduction Soft drinks that commonly found in our daily life contain caffeine and sodium benzoate. The caffeine act as a stimulant and the sodium benzoate acts as a preservative

Acid Rain Lab Acid rain is causing problems throughout the world. Acid rain is precipitation that has been combined with gases in the atmosphere‚ causing it to be slightly more acidic than normal rain. Acid rain has a PH level of about 5.0 compared to that of pure water’s 7.0. Acid rain is caused uniquely by human from such harmful wastes as the burning of fossil fuels. This type of rain is carried throughout the atmosphere‚ for hundreds of miles‚ harming countryside. The real question is whether

of Bromine to trans-Cinnamic Acid Introduction/Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to carry out the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid‚ to determine the stereochemistry of the dibromide product of 2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid‚ and find out whether the reaction proceeds by the usual bromonium ion mechanism or some other mechanism. In this experiment trans-cinnamic acid was mixed with glacial acetic acid and stirred in which then bromine/acetic acid solution was added to the mixture

a reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid‚ the products calcium chloride‚ carbon dioxide and water are formed. I predict that the higher temperature of HCl acid‚ the higher the reaction rate will be‚ this is because at a higher temperature there will more fast-moving hydrochloric acid molecules per set volume. This means that there will be a higher chance of the calcium carbonate molecules colliding with the hydrochloric acid and reacting‚ with enough energy to break the activation

The polar oxygen accepts the electrons from now positively charged hydrogen. The positively charged sodium disassociates leaving the hydroxide ion with a negative Scheme 1 shows the mechanisms that were demonstrated during the synthesis of Aspirin. charge that attracts to the positively

Medicines from willow bark – willow bark contain an active ingredient know as salicylic acid which used to make aspirin (pain reliever) Identifying salicylic acid Three chemical tests which are used to predict the structure of salicylic acid 1. Salicylic acid in aqueous solution is weakly acidic ( presence of COOH group) 2. Salicylic acid reacts with alcohols to form esters which give of strong odours. 3. When salicylic acid is added to a neutral solution such as iron chloride it turns intense pink

Experiment 7 INVESTIGATING STOICHIOMETRY WITH SODIUM SALTS OF CARBONIC ACID Introduction In this experiment we are going to get a better understanding of chemical stoichiometry. We are going to be reacting sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with hydrochloric acid (HCl). To start off the mass of two unknown substances (being the sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate) will be taken. We will need to construct balanced equations for both of the reactants with the HCl and
