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…

Introduction An Alka seltzer is a Blood thinner and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can treat pain, fever, headache, and inflammation. Its two main ingredients are citric acid and baking soda. When the tablet is dropped in water, the citric acid and baking soda react, which causes the alka seltzer to dissolve. If an alka seltzer is dropped in orange juice, then it will dissolve quicker compared to water because the orange juice has a higher level of acidity. Methods For this…

known as hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. The composition of a buffer in an acidic aqueous solution is combined containing a weak acid and salt of conjugate base of the weak acid. (Importance of Buffers, 2013) The composition of a buffer in a basic aqueous solution is combined containing a weak base and a salt of conjugate acid of weak base. A buffer solution resists the changes in pH therefore resisting modifications in hydronium ions and hydroxide ion concentrations. This is beneficial in…

With this experiment intend to prove Salem Lakes ability to buffer chemicals used in the water treatment process versus that of the Yadkin River. Using a jar test machine, simulated the addition of an acid in the form of Al2SO4, and a base NaOH to the coagulation process. Salem Lake does show a preferred buffering at higher acid doses, though Yadkin River is more efficient at the low to mid-range dose. INTRODUCTION There is a distinct difference in the buffering capacity of Salem Lake versus…

Acids and Bases are solutions, and can be found everywhere in the world. They can be found in food, drinks, around the house, and in the environment around you. Acids and Bases are used by people, animals, and even plants for many different purposes (Buthelezi et al. 634). A solution is a homogenous mixture, which is a mixture with a composition that is consistent throughout the substance (Buthelezi et al. 634). Solutions are comprised of the solute and a solvent. The solvent is the most…

Growing up in Texas near two Air Force Bases and two Army/National Guard Camps lead my life to be influenced by members of the armed services. One of my earliest memories was being taken to an airshow that was taking place in my home town where their modern military planes and WW2 planes were demonstrating their capabilities. It was that day that started my road down aviation. Later on, I joined the Boy Scouts of America. Through the Boy Scouts and the Civil Air Patrol, I learned what being a…
