(NaOH). The amount of luminol collected was 0.2693 g with the percent yield of 161%. The product of the first reaction was then used to recreate the chemiluminescence experiment by mixing luminol, oxidizing agent (hydrogen peroxide), and base (any hydroxide base). This reaction emitted a blue light along with yielding phthalate salt. The experiment showed the importance of luminol in chemiluminescence and yielded much needed knowledge about reactions and how they…

The purpose of this lab was to identify the amount of salt needed in the water to “flink”, the point at which an object sinks or floats, the golf ball in a salt solution. Flinking occurs when the object is neither sinking or floating, it appears as if it is suspended in the middle of the solution. To flink an object, the object’s density has to have the same as the density of the solution that it is placed into. To achieve the same density of both the salt solution and golf ball, manipulation of…

It is essential for pharmacists to be able to predict the theoretical rate kinetics of pharmaceutical products in order to determine its shelf life. As the shelf life is defined by (t90), which is the availability of greater or equal to 90% of the drug, it is important to discover the rate of degradation of a drug to ensure that the patients receive an adequate dose of the drug. In this experiment, the stability of the active ingredient of Aspro Clear is investigated to identify the rate of…

has a neutral ph that varies slightly from 6.5-7.5. This ph is maintained by buffers in the mouth, particularly in saliva. Buffers are solutions made up of either a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt. They are used to resist the ph change in a solution when small amounts of acids or bases are added.…

It is important to note that the goal of this experiment was to find the pKa value of bromothymol blue, a pH indicator commonly used in titrations. [UNC, 2017] The pKa is where the number of moles of acid to conjugated base are equivalent. To find this, both Beer’s Law and spectroscopy were utilized in an attempt to make graphs to show just where this value occurred. According to Sigma-Aldrich, the pKa of bromothymol blue is approximately 7.10. [SIGMA, 2017] The final pKa found experimental was…

imbalance. In our lab, we were given the question of which antacid out of the antacids provided to us was the “best” at neutralizing stomach acid. To answer that question me must first establish what makes an antacid the best, we decided that the strongest base would be the best at neutralizing a strong acid. We realized that we would be neutralizing a strong acid because the main acid in the stomach is…

ammonia. 3. Why is it necessary to add an indicator? Describe how an indicator works. The reason why it is necessary to add an indicator is to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. By reacting with H+ and OH-, these are weak acids and bases. If an indicator is a…

First, 1.32 g of isoborneol was mixed with 1.00 mL of glacial acetic acid. The solution was heated to 50° C while 1.70 mL of NaOCl added. Then 15.0 mL of NaOCl was measured into a separatory funnel and added dropwise to the solution for 10 minutes. The flask was sealed while heating and stirring continued. NaOCl in the solution was tested every five minutes using starch-iodide paper for 30 minutes. After 10 minutes, 2.0 mL of NaOCl was added. A total of 6.0 mL of NaOCl was added over a 20 minute…

Direct titration method is a single step process. Substance is directly titrated with titrant by using simple indicator. Example: titration of strong acid (HCl) with strong base, which is usually the reactant (NaOH). 2. Indirect titration method is a two-step process. This is a titration method where the concentration of an analyte is determined by reacting it with a known amount of additional substance. The remaining additional…
