an acid and a base would have on the pH of a buffer and a non-buffer. We utilized phosphate, a buffer, and sodium chloride, a non-buffer, as our base solutions and added hydrogen chloride, an acid, and sodium hydroxide, a base, to each solution separately. First, we took a base pH reading of 40mL of phosphate with a pH meter, then added 1 mL of our acid, HCl, at a time, recording the pH after each drop was added. As depicted in Figure 1 and 3, the pH gradually dropped after each mL of acid was

Stoichiometric Reactions with Phosphoric Acid By Leah Herde Partner: Kayla Infante CHE 120-12 Instructor: David Chick   PURPOSE The purpose of this lab was to experiment with triprotic acid to create different salts through neutralization. Specifically, using varying volumes of sodium hydroxide with a constant 1 mL of 6M Phosphoric acid. In doing so one can examine the reactions and use stoichiometry to identify the products formed from the relationship between the reagents. INTRODUCTION Stoichiometry

Effects of Citric Acid on the Viscoelasticity of Cornstarch Pastes MADOKA HIRASHIMA, RHEO TAKAHASHI, AND KATSUYOSHI NISHINARI* Department of Food and Human Health Sciences, Graduate School of Human Life Science, Osaka City University, Sumiyoshi, Osaka 558-8585, Japan The effects of citric acid on the rheological properties of cornstarch pastes were studied by steady shear and dynamic oscillatory viscoelasticity, intrinsic viscosity measurements and microscopic observation. The pH of cornstarch

3-methylcyclohexene is simple distillation where dehydration was used to prepare the final product. The results of the experiment showed that the 3-methylcyclohexene was formed via an E1 reaction from 2-methylcyclohexanol with a 1:1 ratio of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. However, some H2O was left over, which was seen when we look at the IR and see a small water peak. This could be due to the fact that not enough sodium sulfate was added and not for long enough. These results were confirmed by the quality

Acid–base imbalances that overcome the buffer system can be compensated in the short term by changing the rate of ventilation. This alters the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood, shifting the above reaction according to Le Chatelier's principle, which in turn alters the pH. For instance, if the blood pH drops too low (acidemia), the body will compensate by increasing breathing thereby expelling CO2, and shifting the above reaction to the left such that fewer hydrogen ions are free; thus

This experiment investigates the effect of stomach acid at different pH levels on the solubility of metformin hydrochloride tablets. According to my results, the metformin hydrochloride tablets dissolved at a faster rate in the simulated stomach acid with less alcohol, and therefore, more acidic. This conclusion, proves the hypothesis stated above. As predicted, the simulated acid with less traces of alcohol was a more suitable environment for the medicine to dissolve at a faster rate. Consequently

Outline: Intro: • Define acid deposition and its causes • Introduce the three types of damages caused by acid deposition that will be discussed in the first three body paragraphs. • Introduce the proposed solutions. Thesis Statement: Acid Deposition in the United States has caused damages to the aquatic system, the vegetation and the historical statues. Potential solutions to this problem include switching to energy sources other than fossil fuels and removing sulfur from coal. Body paragraphs:

Acid in the human stomach When people refer to acid they usually see it as a corrosive liquid that can dissolve metals or change the color of a substance. So they think of acid as a dangerous matter for the body and believe it can easily dissolve your skin. What I have previously listed are indeed properties of certain acids, such as Hydrofluoric Acid which can cause irreversible tissue damage if it comes in contact with skin, but not all acids are this strong. As a matter of fact what a lot of

research topic for the group task was ‘How Fatty Acids Can Fight Prostate Cancer’. In this, we were required to look at both the structure of fatty acids and cancer cells to describe and explain ways in which fatty acids can stop the growth and spread of prostate cancer cells. In our research, we found several mechanisms which fatty acids can use to fight prostate cancer. The main mechanisms which we researched was fatty acids: • Binding to free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFA4), stimulating a signal transduction

Outline I. Introduction A. Acid rain is rain that transforms into acid by the pollution in the atmosphere that harms the environment, and other things such as forests, and lakes B. One of the main causes is industrial burning of coal, fossil fuels, waste gases that have sulfur, and nitrogen oxides, that mix with the atmosphere water to make acids II. Formation and Chemistry A. Gases are mainly produced by factories, and the smoke they emit which then turns into acid rain, hail or snow which is
