This lab consisted of determining whether a certain liquid was an acid or base and experimenting with the pH of various substances when either acid or base was added to them. The lab was executed by using two different types of indicators as well as a titration in the end. The first indicator used was litmus paper. Through litmus paper, it is possible to decide whether a liquid is an acid or a base. By placing one slip of red litmus paper by one slip of blue litmus paper and dropping beads of the liquid on each, determining whether the liquid was a base or an acid was possible. If the red piece of paper stayed red and the blue piece of paper turned red, it was safe to say that the liquid was an acid. If the slips of litmus paper turned blue, …show more content…
The titrations were all a bit different and that was because they all contained different liquids. The first titration, acid into water, showed a noticeable drop in ph after approximately 5.5 mL of acid was added and was consisted in showing low numbers. This determined that the first hypothesis, stating that the pH would go up when acid was added into water, was false. Dissimilarly to the second titration, base into water, the pH showed a noticeable increase after around 10 mL of base was added and once again, remained consistently high in pH. The third titration, acid into liver homogenate, the pH decreased a bit at 8 mL of acid, but remained fairly consistent at 12 mL. The fourth titration, base into liver homogenate, opposite to the the previous graph, increased in pH slightly at 20 mL, but once again, stayed consistent from then on out. The fifth titration, acid into buffer #4, had no great change, but the pH dropped slightly, but remained at around a pH of 4 for the rest of titration. The sixth and final titration, base into buffer #4, had a similar reaction to the previous titration except for the fact that the pH increased slightly at around 15 ml of base and remained the same pH for the rest of the titration. When comparing the reaction of acid/base into liver homogenate to acid/base into water and acid/liver into buffer #4, the reaction seemed to coincide a bit more with the reactions of the buffer. Although the pH increased/decreased in
Introduction The purpose of this Lab was to identify the density of the unidentified object and determine what substance the unidentified object given by the teacher was. The density calculated in the experiment will stay the same because the density of the unidentified object will stay constant. The Independent Variable of this experiment was the calculated density and the unidentified object given. The Dependant Variable for this experiment was the density.
each paper remained it's original color, thus concluding that the unknown was neutral. These results also led the students to believe the unknown was CaCl2 since it was listed in the neutral column. After the litmus test was conducted the students added a few drops of Na3PO4 to the unknown. When these two were combined a precipitate was formed. This final test on unknown F verified that it was CaCl2.
Some compounds have very distinctive colors when burned, such as Potassium, which is a white/purple, and sodium, which is a deep red hue. The first step for a flame test is to gather the needed materials. These include beakers, distilled water, the unknown substance, a Bunsen burner, matches, a nichrome wire, tubing to connect the gas line to the Bunsen burner, goggles, and known compounds to compare with. The first step is to make aqueous solutions of all the substances to be tested. This is done by adding .5
After record your data and determine the absolute rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Based on the data and observations the hypothesis was accepted. It was accepted because when pH were changed to a variety of levels the transmittance began to get higher reaction rates. The increased absorbance means greater amount of product and a higher reaction rate will be produced.
4.B Why do you think that the adding of sodium acetoacetate resulted in a 50% decrease in renal ammonia production? Sodium acetoacetate addition would result in a decrease in renal ammonia production because of the adjustment to the pH levels that it has. This happens due to direct oxidation. Some of the dogs in this experiment became tolerant to the sodium acetoacetate so their doses were changed. The conclusion was that since quantities that were essentially equal in tolerance were given that direct oxidation was the final outcome of why 50% was decreased.
I organized four different tests; pH paper, alkalinity tests, the number of rocks neutralizing acid, and the number of rocks that don’t neutralize acid. The average for pH paper was seven. The pH is the numeric scale used to specify the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution. The pH scale measures acidity and alkalinity. the pH scale goes from zero, which is an acid reading, to fourteen, which is an alkaline reading.
This piece of evidence is not so compelling because the pH levels dropped for all drugs after the HCl was added because stomach acids neutralize the pH levels (“Painkillers & Acid Reflux Symptoms”). The most compelling piece of evidence is the color when we added the iron nitrate. They both turned black when the iron nitrate was added and no other pain reliever looked like those two. Unknown B is Bufferin because they both look like white powders and they were both insoluble. When the universal indicator was added they both turned orange, which indicted their pH level was 5.0.
Research Question: To investigate and compare how different temperature (5℃, 15℃, 25℃, 35℃, 45℃) can affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in soda water through titration with sodium hydroxide solution. Introduction: Carbon dioxide plays an important role in soft drinks. Soda water is manufactured by pumping carbon dioxide into water under high pressure. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is the fizz we find in soft drinks. CO2 + H2O ⇌
Ph Test The Ph test is a way to determine whether a solution is an acid or a base. Acids contain high concentrations of Hydrogen ions. Bases contain high concentrations of Hydrogen Oxide ions.
The very first question that was asked was, “ Does water mix with food coloring? What evidence supports your answer?” When you would add the food coloring to the water it would mix because the water would turn blue. The second question that was asked was, “Does water mix with vegetable oil? What evidence supports your answer?”
Two of the same types of plants were used, in order for the results to be reliable. One of the plants was labelled DISTILLED whereas the other was ACIDIC, so the results don’t get mixed. The DISTILLED plant was used as a controlled variable, where normal spring water was used (pH 7.3) The ACIDIC plant was the one the experiment had taken place on, this was where lemon water was used (pH 2.0) Throughout the experiment pictures were taken, so one will be able to notice the colour change on the acidic plants, as it had started to slowly die. With both plants you are able to notice that they had both started to grow flowers, but more the spring watered plant than that on the lemon juice watered one. The results of the plant growth was recorded to we would be able to notice the amount it had grown, this would be the water compared to lemon juice.
The equation of the reaction between sodium hydroxide and ethanoic acid is as follows: CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O We can measure the end point of titration process and we can also measure the amount of reactants. The concentration of ethanoic acid in the vinegar can be determined through stoichiometric calculations, Using the values obtained from the titration, and also the chemical equation as a reference. Phenolphthalein indicator is used in this acid-base titration Equipment and materials:
Its pH is greater than 7 and turns red litmus paper into blue. Acid- base neutralization is done by adding an acid to a base or a base to an acid until the substance has equal hydrogen and hydroxide ions. This is used to determine unknown concentration of a
This experiment has to be carried out carefully
Introduction Buffer is a solution that resists a change in pH when bases or acid are added. Solutions that are acidic contain high concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) and have pH values less than seven. Buffer usually consist of a weak acid, and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. The function of buffer is to resist the changes in hydrogen ion concentration as a result of internal and environmental factor. This buffer experiment is important so that we relies the important of buffer in our life.
