Acid-base homeostasis

made in the first week of lab. An acid of unknown concentration was prepared by the instructor and given for analysis. 25.00 mL of the acid was transferred into an Erlenmeyer flask using a volumetric pipette and 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein were added. The resulting solution was titrated with NaOH to achieve the faint pink endpoint and [unknown] was calculated according to the volume of NaOH used. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the [unknown acid] by titrating it with a…

This week's reflection assignment consists of one video. It features Mr. Larry Potterfield (founder, and CEO of Midway USA) as the presenter. The video is titled "Gunsmithing: How to properly polish the metal parts on a Remington 700". Mr. Potterfield begins his first video by stating the objective, polishing metal parts. In his hands, he holds the barrel of a Remington 700 series rifle. It appears as if the rifle has definitely seen some cleaner days, in my opinion. This is a skill every…

A graduated cylinder was used to measure 200mL of distilled water into an Erlenmeyer flask and then 40mL of 0.6 M NaOH was added to the distilled water in the flask. The flask was then plugged with a rubber stopper and shook in order to mix the solution. A buret was then washed, rinsed with distilled water, and then 5 mL of the NaOH diluted solution. After the cleansing of the buret, it was then filled up with the NaOH diluted solution. The dilution of the solution was calculated to find the…

moles of citric acid were calculated using stoichiometry of the reaction: H3C6H5O7 (aq)+ 3OH- (aq) —> 3H20 (l) + C6H5O7 -3 The molarity of citric acid was found from the calculated moles and the measure of volume. For the modern titration, the equivalence point for mL of NaOH titrant was found using a graph of the first derivative. The moles of NaOH were found using the estimated equivalence points and the given molarity of 0.0468M through conversion factors. The moles of citric acid were…

Triton X-100 at 40 ⁰C for 10 min, followed by soaking in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution at varies concentrations (1, 2 4, 6 and 8%) at 100 ⁰C for 60 min. For enzymatic retting, the fiber was treated with chelating agent, enthylenediamine-tetraacetic acid, then immersed in 0.85% solution of Triton X-100 at 40 ⁰C for 10 min, followed by adding of pectinase at different concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 3%) at 50 ⁰C for an hour. They concluded all treatment resulted in reduction of lignin and…

Lab Report Concerning Acid-Base Titrations The purpose of this experiment was to recognize the procedures for conducting acid-base titrations. Each acid-base titration used one solution to analyze another; it also involved the use of an indicator, which denoted the endpoint of the titration. The indicator used was phenolphthalein; it produced a pink hue when the titrations reached their endpoints – between pH 8 and pH 10. The endpoint was reached when the moles of the base being used became…

Summary: Put on any necessary personal safety equipment, and one person from each team should collaborate with people from other teams to create the NaOH solution. The other team members should focus on setting up the buret by rising it with distilled water as well as building the titration apparatus and preparing the HCl solution. In order to prepare the NaOH solution, first take some solid NaOH and measure its mass. Then get a 250 mL volumetric flask and fill it about halfway with distilled…

(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…

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…
