Beta Alanine Beta Alanine is a dietary supplement that is designed to mimic the action of the non-essential amino acid alanine that is produced naturally in the healthy body. The body to produce proteins uses amino acids. The body uses alanine to convert sugar to energy and eliminate toxins from the body. Beta alanine is the manufactured nutritional performance supplement that helps the body produce more energy and eliminate fatigue experienced by athletes.…
Purpose: To find the pH of different household items and to see what substances are acids or bases. To see how different substances neutralize each other. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that cleaning products will be bases and foods and substances we ingest will be acids. Materials: • Oil • Finesse Shampoo • Anti Freeze • Drain Opener • Hand Soap • Vinegar •…
In this experiment, identifying the acids, bases, or neutrality of the unknown substance in a specific set are used to find the actual substances. The following sets of substances could have been assigned: Set 1 - Silver nitrate (AgNO3), Manganese(II) nitrate (Mn(NO3)2), Barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH); Set 3 - Silver nitrate (AgNO3), Barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH); Set 4 - Silver nitrate (AgNO3), Lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Ammonia (NH3), Water (H2O). From the substances above Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the stronger acid, and Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and Lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2 are the weaker acids. If the substance is not an acid nor a base, the substance is neutral. In each set there were three neutral compounds, one acid, and one…
The pH test will confirm if the compound is an acid or base. After we performed the previous tests, we created five reactions that we knew would react with our predicted compound in a certain way. We came up with one reaction that would result in a white precipitate, and in the other four the compound will not react and only dissolve in the solution. We completed this test for both our known and our unknown and compared results.…
To emulate an acidic and basic environment, 0.1M hydrochloric acid and 0.1M sodium hydroxide were used. Two cotton balls saturated with each compound were placed on opposing sides…
Ashley-Ann Burnett October 4, 2015 Lab #3: Acids, Bases & pH SLS43-14/7-8 Pre-Lab Questions: 1) An isotope is an atom with a different atomic weight due to changes in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Some examples of isotopes are Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium, which are all Hydrogen atoms. Instead of the zero neutrons Hydrogen has in its Protium form, Deuterium and Tritium have two and three neutrons respectively. This change in neutron number and therefore atomic weight classify these atoms as isotopes of the element Hydrogen.…
Within methods of chemistry, the most common and obvious way to find the PH of a substance is to use an acid-base indicator in order to determine the pH level by comparing the indicators color to what pH it represents. An example of this is universal indicator (a mixture of a variety of other indicators) that changes a wide variety of colors depending on the pH it is subject to. This colorizing effect is somewhat like a color dye for a molecule, that changes color when it detects a specific threshold is crossed in terms of the pH of the substance, thus allowing an approximate pH to be determined. This color change is due to the molecules present in acid-base indicators responding to the changes in the overall concentration of the hydrogen…
In this lab we will be testing the water quality of the Lewis and Clark Lake. We will be testing to see if the water is good quality and good for the fish and creatures that need that water to live. The first step is to extract the water from the lake and analyze the way it looks. We should write down the description of the water. The second step is to take it to the lab to test the water for pollutants and to test the quality of the water.…
The positive electrode will get an acid accumulation because the chloride ions will be attracted to the positive charge. The negative side will have an alkaline accumulation because the sodium hydroxide in the batter will be attracted to the negative side of the battery. This process of attraction makes a current and draws the medication into the skin. This is interesting because it a very simple principle in chemistry. The greater the current or the stronger the reaction the greater the input of medication will be.…
Chlorine is now a negatively charged ion, as it has more electrons than protons. Acids are positively charged, and the more positive hydrogen atoms they have in them, the more acidic they are. Whereas when bases contain more negatively charged hydroxide, and depending how much there is, can make a substance more alkaline. The two cancel each other out, as such, if they are the same level away from pH of 7 (refer to introduction), and make a neutral substance(s), because they have opposite…
II.I How it is use? Muscle contraction requires the use of ATP molecules. Indeed, muscle cells are composed of contractile elements: sarcomeres. Muscle contraction is due to the slippage of myosin fibers on the actin fibers.…
Sodium hydroxide ions separate which leaves behind an extra OH- ions in the remaining water. The concentration of the solution forms a basic solution however, this lead the pH to increase. As the concentration of OH – ions increases, the concentration of H+ decreases. Buffers only works when a weak acid and it conjugate weak base is combined so it becomes balanced within the each set of solution. The equation it forms is NaOH → OH- + Na+. Water is known to be a control.…
An acid is a substance that reacts and donates H+ ions. A base is a substance that accepts H+ ions. An acid that donates more that two H+ ions is polyprotic. In a reaction where an acid and a base react with each other in water till no hydroxide ions remain. Molarity is the concentration of a solution.…
Each base has a sugar molecule. A base, sugar and phosphate are called a nucleotide. A phosphate is a salt. These bases look like a ladder (“What is DNA?”).…
Acid rain is any form of precipitation that has unusually high acidity (a pH level below 5.6) and caused by the transformation of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into secondary pollutants. pH is is a scale used that measures the acidity of liquids and ranged from 0 to 14. The lower the number, the higher acidity, or the higher concentration of hydrogen ions. 0-5 is considered acidic and as you move up to 7, this indicates the substance is neutral. The higher numbers on the scale indicate high alkalinity (basic), with the highest possible pH of 14.…
