Acid

molecules that serve a variety of functions within the body. Proteins are made up of subunits called amino acids. There are several different types of amino acids such as lysine, aspartic acid, and histidine. Each type of amino acids have their own specific group called R-groups attached to them, this causes them to behave chemically different. The group on the amino acid histidine cause the amino acid to be basic; this feature of histidine makes it have a specific purpose in proteins, such as…

solubility in each of those solvents, the mixed compounds can separate. Generally, this process includes water as one of the immiscible solvents, but for this lab, t-butyl methyl ether was used to dissolve our mixture. Our mixture was made up of Benzoic acid, p-t-Butylphenol, and Acetanilide. The chemical structure for each compound listed previously, including the solvent, is shown below in Figure 1. By shaking the solvents together and then letting them sit, they begin to separate into two…

The slide was washed, blot, and examine under microspore. C. ACID FAST STAINING: The lipoid capsule of the acid – fast organism takes up carbolfuchsim and resists decolorizatin with a dilute acid rinse. The lipoid capsule of the mycobacterium is of such high molecular weight that it is waxy at room temperature and successful penetration by the aqueous based staining solutions…

Acid rain is found all over the world as a result of the release of chemicals from burned fossil fuels, which has sources from nature and human-made. These chemicals are blamed for the causing environmental deterioration and detrimental effects to human health. The Environmental Protection Agency has enacted laws and regulations to prevent and reduce the effects of acid rain including the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the Acid Rain Program. Other technologies and initiatives have been created to…

ascorbic acid throughout a selection of 6 different orange juice samples with the help of individual and class data, since some juices seem to have a higher amount of vitamin C than others. The ascorbic acid was measured through the process of titration, using 10 drops of starch indicator, and approximately 0.5g of oxalic acid to determine the amount of vitamin C present with the initial 50 mL iodine solution in the burette.…

In this experiment, unknown B was a solid mixture containing two compounds of interests, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and neutral benzoic acid. These compounds were separated by extraction and washing, and liquid-liquid extraction was specifically performed. Extraction is the process by which a compound of interest is selectively removed from impurities, and washing is the process by which unwanted products or impurities are selectively removed from the desired product. In liquid-liquid extraction,…

fatty acids are advertise as being so beneficial for our body then it means if we increase our intake the benefits will be much greater for us. I will start by suggesting that we should do our own small research of the cons and pros of the omega-3 fatty acid and not believe all the advertisers right away. We would agree that to much of anything is definitely not good for our body and theirs always two sides to any story or research. My research of the omega-3 thought me that this fatty acid is…

Experiment #9- Acid Base Titrations II: Potentiometric and Indicator Titrations Introduction- In this experiment, the reactions of three different acids with a strong base are studied by observing how the pH of the solution changes as the titrant is added. A plot of pH versus amount of titrant added will be constructed. Such a curve is called a pH titration curve. The equivalence point of the reaction will be determined from an analysis of the pH titration curve, and by the use of acid-base…

Lysergic acid diethylamide, or better known as LSD was invented by Albert Hoffman in 1938 in an attempt to find a blood stimulant. After accidentally absorbing a small amount of the drug through his fingertips, Hoffman realized the powerful and pleasant psychedelic effects the drug had and researched the psychological effects of the drug years after. This quote is from Hoffman's journal and is his description of his first LSD trip “I suddenly became strangely inebriated. The external world…

Amino acids Amino acids are building block s of proteins. Each amino acid contains main three structural components. 1) Amino group 2) Carboxcilic group 3) R group Figure 1 https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=amino+acids&view=detailv2&&id=072990A13D7C6B29926E0FC3F9E9BE59C8A6322E 2016 R can be hydrogen or any other functional group .in world there are around 182-200 found to be present in nature but we can find 20 aminoacids in…
