What results would lead you to the conclusion that the material tested has high potential for AMD generation and would indicate that more extensive and intensive tests should be done to confirm the results. When looking at the Paste pH and Electrical Conductivity Tests, we are looking for an acidic environment and an environment with a high concentration of salt. Specifically, if our site sample has a pH of less than 4, then that indicates that the sample is acidic. If our site sample has an…

Since acetic acid is considered a weak acid (strong within the scale of weak acids), there is a range at which the acetic acid and acetate will form a stable buffer. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for buffers, it’s possible to calculate the pH based on the ratio of acid to conjugate base, or calculate the ratio given the pH and pKa value. Finding charge on a protonated amine: The pKa value given for the amino group on any amino acid specifically refers to the equilibrium between the…

INTRODUCTION 1.1What is an acid-base titration? An acid –base titration is the determination of the concentration of an acid or base by neutralizing the acid or base with an acid or base of known concentration. An acid-base titration is the analysis of the concentration of acids and bases; through this process an acid or base of known concentration neutralizes an acid or base of unknown concentration. The neutralization of an acid or base in acid-base titration can be measured with either a…

The % relative standard deviation (% RSD) was found to be below 5 % for all the four analytes in system precision and below 6 % in method precision. The data as shown in Table 3.4.3.3.3 and 3.4.3.3.4. LOD values observed for Hydrazine carbamate and Hydrazone carbamate were 0.0018 µg per mL and 0.00092 µg per mL respectively. The LOD value observed for both 1-Hydroxy benzotriazole and 2R, 3S Chlorohydrine hydrochloride were 0.0019 µg per mL. The LOQ values observed for all four analytes were…

Acid Base Balance Study Guide Definition: The body’s ability to regulate and compensate for variances of the acidity or alkalinity of body fluids through mechanisms in the brain, kidneys, lungs, and buffering system. Concept Key Terms: • Acid: any substance that has a pH less than 7.0 • Acidosis: the condition of having too much acid build up in body fluids, below 7.35 • Alkalosis: the condition of having too much alkaline build up in body fluids, above 7.45 • Anion: a negatively charge…

In this project the aim is to determine the equilibrium constant (Kc) of a weak base when it reacts with a weak acid. The chemicals I wish to determine the equilibrium constant for are, Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) and Propanol (C3H7OH). To accomplish this, the first question we must ask is, “what is an equilibrium constant and how is it determined”? There are 2 different types of equilibrium. The first, and the type we shall be using is known as homogeneous equilibrium which has everything present…

Because there are 5 things simultaneously present, 5 equations must be made. Two for the equilibrium constants, one mass balance equation for all A containing material and one for Na+, and 1 charge balancing equation as shown in the appendix. Since we are looking for the KA we need the equation in the form of KA = [H3O+][A-]/[HA]. Therefore the 5 equations…

This can also be seen by the value of the rate constants where k1 k2. Additionally the process of phenol decomposition by direct ozonation is different than that of indirect ozonation. Degradation of phenol by OH radicals favors the formation of aromatic by products, following the formation of organic…

results are reported in Table 1. Table 1: Effect of pH [Basic fuchsin] = 0.8 × 10-5 M Light intensity = 60.0 mW cm-2 CuO/Al2O3 = 0.12 g pH Rate constant (k) × 105 (sec-1) 4.0 4.40 4.5 5.68…

Proteins are known as the building blocks of cells in all living organisms. Many hormones are made up of proteins and the digestive system, immune system and blood replies on proteins. Therefore, protein is an essential part of healthy diet, and integral to development of the body. The purpose of performing this lab is to analyzing the activity of TEM-1 B-lactamase and how it reacts with high temperatures, chaotropic salts, detergents and pH values. INTRODUCTION: Primary protein structure is…
