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

Substance abuse in America Introduction America has a problem with drugs. In order to understand the problem‚ we first need to understand what is considered a drug. It is “any ingestible substance that has a noticeable effect on the mind or body”. (Schmalleger‚ 2011) Drugs are used for medicinal as well as recreational purposes. Unfortunately both types of drugs have played a role in American culture. Drugs have been part of the American culture as far back as the 1800’s. Using drugs for

estimated visits were 19‚221. The DEA laboratory system seized and analyzed over 1.3 million hydrocodone tablets in 1997. Since hydrocodone is considered to be morphine like in every aspect‚ it is easy to see why one may choose to use and abuse this substance. For the hydrocodone abuser‚ the quickest way to feel the effects of vicodin is to snort it. The way that vicodin acts on the brain can cause it ’s user to experience feelings of euphoria. Snorting vicodin speeds up the usual effects‚ and brings

Title: Acids‚ Bases & Buffers Objectives: 1. To understand the acid-base chemistry. 2. To prepare and evaluate a buffer system 3. To measure the buffering capacity of two types of isotonic drinks. Introduction: There are acid-forming‚ basic forming and neutral food‚ however the acid or alkaline properties of a food is unable to judge by the actual acidity of the food itself. For example‚ citrus fruits such as lemon are acidic‚ but they are alkaline-forming when we consume and digest it. Therefore

an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. It ’s important to note that classical conditioning involves placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. In Pavlov ’s classic experiment with dogs‚ the neutral signal was the sound of a tone and the naturally occurring reflex was salivating in response to food. By associating the neutral stimulus with the environmental stimulus (the presentation of food)‚ the sound of the tone alone could produce the salivation response
