Hydrochloric acid

is a neutralization reaction. A neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react to form an ionic compound (a salt) and water; the resulting pH is closer to 7. The general chemical equation for a neutralization reaction is: Acid + Base Water + Ionic Compound This can also be considered as a double displacement reaction. However, since the reacts are an acid (carbonic acid) and a base (sodium hydroxide) and the products are a salt (sodium carbonate) and water…

Titration is used to determine the equivalence point of a reaction, or the point when the moles of acid are equal to the moles of base in a mixture. Titration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by using an already known solution. This process is important because it is commonly in the medical field. For example, pharmacists use titration in the creation of drugs. In addition, doctors also titration when determining the concentration necessary to give their patients of…

very slowly. In order to speed up the process, hydrochloric acid (H+) was used as a catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that can speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. It does this by changing the mechanism of the reaction and providing more energetically favorable elementary steps that would otherwise not exist without its presence. In addition, a catalyst does not get used up in the reaction. In this case, hydrochloric acid reappears in the products of the…

deionized water and the following chemicals: sodium hydroxide, potassium hydrogen phthalate, hydrochloric acid and sodium bicarbonate. When it comes to these chemicals, make sure to wear the general protective personal equipment and handle with caution because these chemicals can burn. (MSDS Solution Center) For week one, the students first had to prepare the sodium hydroxide and the hydrochloric acid. Both of these were done by taking a graduated cylinder and measuring 8.3 milliliters of the…

essential component of a neutralization reaction. When this compound along with an acidic compound (HCl) dissociates, it react and form neutralized components such as water and a salt. This is an ideal mechanism of action for individuals who suffer from acid reflux or heartburn conditions because the excessive HCl that is found in the stomach can be alleviated by ingesting antacid tablets. This experiment explored the effectiveness of different antacids base on the number of HCl moles…

A: Background Information Acids and bases are very common in today’s society, and they can be found in most households. Acids can be found as by-products of air pollution, concrete cleaner, food flavouring and is produced by the muscle. Bases are found in most cleaning products as ammonia or sodium hydroxide, and they also treat indigestion. There are many ways that acids and bases can be defined by their chemical properties. The Bronsted-Lowry definition states that acids are proton (hydrogen…

carried out at three types of organic solvents for lipophilic fractions (ethyl acetate, hexane, 50% acetone in water) and four types of solvent for hydrophilic fractions (0.1M phosphate buffer pH7.4, acetone: water: acetic acid (70:29.5:0.5), 50% methanol in water, 7% acetic acid in 80% methanol). The amount between solid (sample) and liquid (organic solvents) was carried out at the ratios of 1:10, 1:15, 1:20 and 1:25 g:mL. The ultrasonication times were varied at six extraction time levels (10,…

milk is mixed with sulphuric acid and iso-amyl alcohol in a special Gerber tube, permitting dissolution of the protein and release of fat. The tubes are centrifuged and the fat rising into the calibrated part of the tube is measured as a percentage of the fat content of the milk sample. Apparatus: - Butyro meter, 10.75ml pipette,amyl alcohol, stoppers, gerber centrifuge, water bath. Reagents:-Sulphuric acid, amyl alcohol. Procedure:-  Transfer 10 ml of sulphuric acid in to butyro meter .  Warm…

food digestion there are chemical and physical changes occurring. One chemical change for example would be, metabolic rate which is the rate of energy that is released from macronutrients. Carbohydrates (Glucose: C6H12O6), proteins (Alanine(amino acid) CH3) , and fats (Lauric…

12 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid, H2SO4 with caution, and shake the tube gently to moisten the sample with the appropriate acid. Connect the Exhaust system with the tubes which has been placed on the rack and ensure the aspirator system to start functioning. The rack and Exhaust system are locked to heaters block digester DS6 which has been preheated to 420 ̊C to begin the process of acid digestion. After about 5 minutes, turn off the aspirator system until acid fumes can be formed only in the…
