Leaves One tea bag was obtained and weighed. A 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask was acquired with 0.3 grams of sodium carbonate. The tea bag was placed inside the flask with 100 mL of water and the 0.3 grams of sodium carbonate. Then, a boiling chip was added to the flask and the flask was placed on a hot plate. Sodium carbonate was added to the flask because it served as a weak base. The sodium carbonate cleaved the ester bond of tannin, which made tannin a water-soluble compound in the solution. The…
When both solutions are mixed a white precipitate (Calcium Carbonate) is formed alongside Sodium Chloride. A clear colourless liquid is observed as the white precipitate is filtered through the filter paper.…
causing changes in the seawaters chemistry. When carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere into the oceans it forms a carbonic acid. This is shown in the equation below: CO2 (g) + H2O ⇒ H2CO3 The carbonic acid then breaks down into hydrogen carbonate (HCO3-) and a single hydrogen ion. H2CO3 ⇒ [H+] +…
Increased ocean acidification isn’t the only thing affecting the ocean, but it is very problematic because it erodes aragonite which is a mineral of calcium carbonate. In other words it kills corals and causes the hard exoskeleton to erode. Action needs to be taken to ensure the survival of corals and the creatures that rely on coral reefs to survive. Coral reefs are sources of food for millions of people, but also are sources of medicines. As coral reefs disappear so do the organisms that are…
For the sodium citrate, phosphate, and carbonate-bicarbonate buffer as the amount of acid added increases, the pH level maintains the same (Fig 1). For the 2nd graph, water and potato juice have an upwards trend which means that as the amount of base added increases, the pH level increases (Fig 2). The sodium citrate buffer and apple juice has a downwards trend because as the amount of base added increases, the pH level decreases (Fig 2). For the carbonate-bicarbonate, phosphate buffer, and…
There are five common ways to predict the product of chemical changes. They are synthesis (composition), decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion. Each can be used for different types of problems based on the equation of experiment presented to you. They can also be found using observations throughout the experiment. You use these base guidelines to write a well balanced equation with physical states and all of the reactants and products that are produced. Our…
performed expecting the evolution of carbon dioxide on reaction of the acid with carbonates. Therefore, among the soluble solids, (10) exhibited effervescence and was suspected to be sodium carbonate due to its solubility. The powders and crystals were divided depending on their solubility in deionised water. The two insoluble powders were suspected to be zinc carbonate and aluminium oxide. (6) was identified as zinc carbonate due to evolution of CO2 on addition of sulphuric acid. Among the…
microcentrifuge tubes and 1 mL of water in a microcentrifuge tube and centrifuged these tubes for 5 minutes. Then combine the solutions into one clean test tube and put it ice. Next combine 3.5 mL of buffer and 0.5 of your substrate. Then obtain 0.5 sodium carbonate, which was the stop solution. Next add 0.5 mL of enzyme to the buffer and substrate and start the timer. Wait until a pale yellow color appears to add the stop solution and also stop the timer. Then determine the absorbance by…
contents of the egg and the growing embryo that have a thickness, whole size, and shell pores that vary from species to species. It is a ceramic material showing texture gradient and different kinds of eggshell have a common mineral content Calcium Carbonate in the form of calcites and don’t have any type of cells in it. Eggshells have different maculation from different species of bird, which have different functions due to the pigments like Porphyrin and Biliviridin derived from haem, which…
