and B3 and their diluted versions, the following graphs can be drawn: Figure 2- A graph showing the relation between concentration of bromophenol blue in M and their absorbance for the acidic form of the molecule, showing the molar absorptivity constant of the molecule at wavelengths 440 nm and 590 nm. The reading with concentration 6 x 10-4 M at wavelength 440 nm was discarded as it is too off from the trend line that it is not following the trend at all. The deviated reading may be caused…

working with very impure benzoic acid. The benzoic acid we were given was made by the 102 chemistry students, meaning that it wasn’t properly made. Students have said that they were rushed and weren’t able to take their time to filter the solid out of the solution. We had to do this for our 102 lab, and I know that our class was being rushed, and it didn’t help that this was the first time working with a funnel filtration. Working with a possible impure benzoic acid is an important thing to note…

AMD generation potential. For the acid base accounting test, the samples will be divided into categories (requires or does not require further determinative acid potential generation test work) based off the comparison of the…

The % relative standard deviation (% RSD) was found to be below 5 % for all the four analytes in system precision and below 6 % in method precision. The data as shown in Table 3.4.3.3.3 and 3.4.3.3.4. LOD values observed for Hydrazine carbamate and Hydrazone carbamate were 0.0018 µg per mL and 0.00092 µg per mL respectively. The LOD value observed for both 1-Hydroxy benzotriazole and 2R, 3S Chlorohydrine hydrochloride were 0.0019 µg per mL. The LOQ values observed for all four analytes were…

titration of a strong base with a weak acid, including its equivalence point and half-equivalence point. The following equation demonstrates the dynamic equilibrium achieved when using a weak acid: The Ka value of a weak acid can be found experimentally using a pH meter along with the concept of equivalence point when titrating an acid and a base. One half of the weak acid has been titrated at the half-equivalence point, meaning that the concentration of weak acid [HA] and its conjugate base…

Throughout this acid, base and buffer lab, this will allow each individual to gain an enhanced sense of knowledge of how these different aqueous solutions work as a buffer system or how they are unable to perform as buffer system mixed with two solutions together. This can be identified through the colour change to measure pH behaviour in several aqueous solutions, therefore the different factors that will cause the change of pH. This will gain understanding of how this relates to the biological…

transform to lower pH. When we add it to water, an acid releases hydrogen ion. Hydrogen ions in water unite with the water molecules to form hydronium ions, thereby lowering the pH and increasing the acidity of water. Water exposed to air is gentle in nature acidic because it absorbs small quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere. The CO2 breaks down to carbonic acid to undergo dissociation to release hydrogen ions into water, lowering the pH. Prior to that, acid added to water increases…

pH of acids, bases, and salts As predicted, going down the list of solutions the pH of each got higher and higher, so it went from acidic to basic. There is even a difference in pH between the HCl solutions due to the difference in molarity—even being the same…

and ammonia. Buffer is made up of weak acid and its conjugate base. The pH of a buffer is determined by the ratio of unprotonated and protonated species, as described by the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation: Since buffer in its buffering region contains both unprotonated and protonated species that can accept and donate protons, respectively, it resists sudden change in concentration of protons accompanying with the addition of certain amount of strong acid or base depending on the buffer…

pKa AND pKb USING ACID-BASE TITRATIONS Introduction Acid-base titrations can be used to determine pKa of a weak acid and pKb of a base. A weak acid and a weak base incompletely dissociate in water. For this reason, the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) depend on equilibrium coefficients of acid (Ka) and base (Kb). Equation 1 shows the chemical dissociation equation of a weak acid. Furthermore, Equation 2 describes the equilibrium constant of a weak acid. On the other…
