The purpose of the Weak Acid Dissociation experiment is to determine the dissociation constant of a weak acid experimentally by using acid-base titration with a strong base and stoichiometry. An acid-base titration is a method by which a basic (or acidic) solution of unknown concentration is reacted with an acidic (or basic) solution of known concentration. (1) The pH in acid-base titration is measured using a pH meter or color changing indicator‚ such as phenolphthalein‚ as the known solution is

Premium Chemistry Chemical reaction Alcohol
Acetylsalicylic acid is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in aspirin and can be synthesized by the esterification reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst. An esterification reaction is when an acid is converted into an ester by combining with an alcohol and removing a water molecule. When heating the salicylic acid mixture in the warm water bath‚ the mixture should be removed from the bath within 8 minutes‚ to reduce the chance of the acetylsalicylic acid decomposing

affecting the rate of reaction‚ PNPP (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) + H20 ? PNP (p-nitrophenol) + H3P04. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatase. Different environments produced different reaction rates as environmental factors affect the efficiency of phosphatase. This is because environmental factors can change the tertiary structure of phosphatase‚ which alters its active site‚ and thus changes its efficiency to catalyze the reaction. We measured the rate of reaction‚ by using a chromogenic

because of the amount of time given in summer lab we had to save time and cut some days out. We were able to do this by being given our own Salicylic acid (SA) prepared for us instead of having to used wintergreen to make it and recrystallize it. In addition‚ we skipped the qualitative test of our purity for SA and Aspirin (ASA). The first part of this experiment is the preparation of ASA from SA were‚ we prepared our aspirin from the collected salicylic acid. A screw-capped vial was weighed empty to

Introduction: A chemical reaction involves the breaking and forming of bonds in order to create the necessary energy required to cause movement. Each reaction is catalyzed (an increase in rate because of a present catalyst) by a specific enzyme. Enzymes are able to denature proteins‚ meaning that a protein loses its original shape by uncoiling‚ giving it a random‚ unstructured shape. The pineapple plant contains bromelain which‚ because of its unique characteristics‚ keeps gelatin from thickening
Premium Enzyme Chemical reaction Metabolism
All chemical reactions are processed through energy exchanges. Chemical reactions either absorb energy or release energy into their surroundings. In thermodynamics‚ endothermic reactions absorb energy where exothermic reactions release energy. In this experiment‚ we will be observing the chemical reactions that occur when a specific liquid is combined with a specific solid. We will measure the temperature of the liquid before the solid is added. Then we will measure the temperature of the liquid
