Acid dissociation constant

The purpose of this experiment was to identify what the effect type of fruit had on the consistency of Jell-O. The Jell-O with apple slices in it had the hardest consistency, and the pennies dropped into the Jell-O/apple mixture dropped an average of .07 inches into the container. The pennies in the mango and Jell-O mixture dropped in an average of 1.1875 inches in, and the pennies dropped an average of 1.4875 inches into the pineapple and Jell-O mixture, meaning the apples and Jell-O solution’s…

digested. This vesicle fuses with the lysosome to form a phagolysosome complex. The acidic environment denatures macromolecules to increase their surface area for hydrolases to act. Once broken down, the soluble, useful material such as sugars, amino acids and nucleotides are used by the cell as nutrients; they enter the cytosol through the lysosomal membrane by either facilitated diffusion or active transport. Indigestible material remains within the lysosome to form a residual body; this is…

Argyria, or more commonly known as blue skin disorder, is a condition in which the skin turns purple of purple-grey in color. This is due to the acquisition of silver or silver compounds in the body. Generally this rare skin disorder only has cosmetic effects and is not a lethal condition. However argyria is mainly incurable and irreversible. There are two forms of argyria, generalized argyria and localized argyria. Generalized argyria affects large areas of the visible surface of the body…

and therefore chemical dehydration forms a new water molecule along with a new double bond. In this experiment 2-methycyclohexanol will react with phosphoric acid, the phosphoric acid will act as a catalyze. Drierite will be added to the reaction flask to adsorb both the water that forms and the water which is present in the phosphoric acid. The reaction is carried out in the bottom of the Hickman still. As the volatile alkene product forms it vaporizes and collects in the ring. When the…

Fluorine (F) is just like any other element such as Oxygen and Calcium. However, due to its composition with another element, it is often referred to as, “Fluoride ions” (F-) or simply “Fluoride.” Dietary fluoride is often found in tea and sea food. Nevertheless, it’s common sources are water, rocks, soils as well as the sea. This essay seeks to examine the negative impacts of fluoride. To begin, fluorine causes detrimental effects on the teeth by causing dental fluorosis, which was first noted…

The null hypothesis for this experiment reads a change in the substrate, Catechol, concentration then there will be a change in the rate of reaction. The alternate hypothesis states if there is a change in Catechol concentration then there will be no change in the rate of reaction. To explain the null, if one chooses to change the amount of substrate in each trial then you should expect to see a change in a number of products produced in those trails. I predict that the trials with less…

The “Acid Bath Murderer” case was about a man named John George Haigh. It was said that he killed his boss and dumped him into a forty-gallon barrel of acid (Casale,2017). Like most known killers, Haigh blended well into society. Born into a strictly religious family on July 24, 1909, Haigh claimed his childhood to be strict and somewhat lonely. During his youth, Haigh had an accident which resulted in having a blue bruise on his head. His mother told him that this blemish was a result of his…

Introduction The goal of this experiment was to determine atomic weight of Kandimonium and the relative number of M&M’s in Kandimonium. Kandimonim is composed of three isotopes: Skittles, M&M’s, and Sweet Tarts, and the ratio of Sweet Tarts to Skittles is 27:18. The relative number of M&M’s and the atomic mass were determined by weighing each of the different Isotopes and calculating their average masses for further calculations. Calculations The following calculations were used to…

Table 1, shows the exact chemicals used to prepare silica solution, zinc acetate solution and zinc nitrate solution. For the zinc acetate, adding 2-propanol to the hydrated zinc acetate will result in a white solution with some precipitations of zinc acetate in the bottom of the beaker, then by adding 2.1 grams of diethanolamine, ratio is 1:1, the solution will be transparent; due to the effect of diethanolamine which increases the pH of the solution, make it basic. Dissolving zinc nitrate in…

Calcium chlorate is a very dangerous chemical. It has the ability to harm whoever is around it. It is important to be extremely cautious and pay close attention to what you are doing when working with this product. This chemical may seem a bit scary because of the negative effects it can have on a person, but there are good things about it too! Calcium chlorate is produced on an industrial scale. It is produced by the chlorination of milk of lime. It is produced by passing chlorine gas through a…
