Martha Garcia November 10, 2017 Chemical Weathering Background Chemical Weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and soluble salts. It occurs in almost all types of rocks, smaller rocks are susceptible, because they have greater surface area, more common where water is, because water is important to many of the chemical reactions, when water is slightly acidic, which is called ocean acidification. Ocean acidification is…

the residues from the manufacture of sea salt at Montpellier. He liberated the element by passing chlorine through an aqueous solution of the residues, that contained magnesium bromide. Distillation of the material with manganese dioxide and sulfuric acid produced red vapours, which condensed to a dark liquid. The similarity of this procedure to that for making chlorine suggested to Balard that he had obtained a new element similar to chlorine. German chemist Justus von Liebig supposedly had…

Apple cider vinegar is a popular and useful health aid. Diabetics often take a swig to help control their blood sugar. Trying to lose a few pounds? Many believe that the consumption of apple cider vinegar leads to reduced belly fat, lower triglycerides, and weight loss. According to Doctor Oz, it is an excellent way to control dandruff. With so many uses, it is a staple in many homes, including my own. In fact, I bought the largest jug I could find, but I had never considered the shelf life of…

After thymol blue was added, the pH-buffered samples developed the colors of red, yellow, green, and blue as the pH of the solutions increased (Figure 3.1A). The pH-2 buffer turned to a light red-pink color, while pH-3 to pH-6 displayed very similar forms of rich yellow or light orange (Figure 3.1A). The neutral pH buffer solution appeared as a saffron green colored solution (Figure 3.1A). A mixture of yellow and green was apparent in the dijon color of the pH-8 buffer (Figure 3.1A). The buffer…

many systems created to hold a constant pH balance. Blood has many components to help the body stay stable. the Body’s pH allows us to do everyday life without constantly being sick. A buffer is a mix of a weak acid and a conjugate base in a solution. They resist pH change when acids or bases are added to the solution. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. Red blood cells help the body is carrying nutrients. Hemoglobin is the main component in…

The mixture of salt and sand is heterogenous and their physical properties can be used to separate it. To separate sand and NaCl it must be diluted with water then filtrated using filter paper. The residual water is full of dissolved NaCl since NaCl is water soluble. The NaCl can dissolve in water because of water’s emergent property; versatility as a solvent. Because water is polar, it can break apart other molecules until the molecules are bonded with water. To separate the soluble NaCl from…

The observed colour was orange, which fit the emission spectrum. Few specks of blue were observed, this might be due to the Bunsen burner not being completely cleaned or the sodium not being completely pure. The observed colours match those of the spectrum, and can be accepted as true. The observed colour for lithium was a dark red colour. Lithium’s emission spectrum consists of purple, blue, cyan and red. Few darker specks of blue were observed, possibly from the same substance that made the…

In this experiment, the goal was to figure out which solute would be the best at neutralizing stomach acid the quickest. As baking soda was added to stomach acid, then the time for neutralization was the quickest. From the data chart, baking soda had the largest average pH of 6.6. On the graph, it show how baking soda had the highest peak and how it was the closest to reach 7 than any other substance. The hypothesis is supported because baking soda was the antacid that was closest to…

The number of moles of hydrochloric acid neutralizes for the three trials (2,4,5) were calculated using stoichiometry. It was calculated for trial 2 by convert 4.88 mL NaOH to L by divide by 1000 mL. Then, to get to mol of NaOH the molarity of NaOH was multiplied by 0.00488. Then to get from NaOH to HCl, the mole ratio 2 HCl to 1 mol NaOH was multiplied by 0.00122. To get the amount of HCl per beaker, 100 mL of HCl was divided by 1000 mL to get 0.1 L. Then, the liters were converted to moles by…

For the following lab, the purpose is to utilize titration to determine the amount of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) present in a substance by reacting it with potassium bromate. An oxidation reaction takes place with ascorbic acid to produce dehydroascorbic acid, using an excess of bromine. The total amount of bromine utilized during the experiment is determined utilizing a back titration, in which the bromine is reacted with bromate. One mole of bromate produces three moles of bromine and the…
