RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 Effect of pH In the pH range 4.0 to 8.5 the rate of degradation of Basic fuchsin was investigated. The 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…

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…

The concept of dynamic equilibrium can be understood using the properties of a titration of a strong base with a weak acid, including its equivalence point and half-equivalence point. The following equation demonstrates the dynamic equilibrium achieved when using a weak acid: The Ka value of a weak acid can be found experimentally using a pH meter along with the concept of equivalence point when titrating an acid and a base. One half of the weak acid has been titrated at the half-equivalence…

Have you ever heard about alkaline water? Do you really know what it is? When it comes to alkaline water, you should know this water is slightly basic. It has basic minerals, including magnesium, calcium and bicarbonate. All these compounds will bind to hydrogen ions in solution, making the water more basic. Moreover, this type of water refers to its pH level, which is a number that measures how alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0-14. For example, if something will have a pH level of 1, it…

Throughout this acid, base and buffer lab, this will allow each individual to gain an enhanced sense of knowledge of how these different aqueous solutions work as a buffer system or how they are unable to perform as buffer system mixed with two solutions together. This can be identified through the colour change to measure pH behaviour in several aqueous solutions, therefore the different factors that will cause the change of pH. This will gain understanding of how this relates to the biological…

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…
