The results obtained from this experiment draws a comparison in the potency and affinity of atropine and SIPBS drug B which is shown in the effect produced when in the presence of carbachol in guinea pig ileum. In figure 1, there is a clear rightward shift which is a typical characteristic of reversible competitive antagonism. Agonist occupancy and its pharmacological effect is reduced when in the presence of a competitive antagonist, however as the two chemicals are competing for the same…
erosion. The reason being there are acids contained in these drinks that dissolve any hard surfaces of the teeth that are exposed, such as the enamel. If the protective enamel is gone, the inner part of the teeth are left exposed. This leads to sensitivity. Also, not only can these acids dissolve outer surfaces, it can also damage the internal parts of one’s teeth; thus leading to the saliva’s ability to repair the teeth weakened. Citric, phosphoric, and tartaric acid all contribute to dental…
acidity they are tasting. Acids and bases can usually be defined by your senses. For example, edible acids usually have a sour taste(4). Bases are more bitter-tasting and unstable(4). But, your senses are not the only ways you could detect acids. Sometimes you have to use measurements like the pH scale to detect if a substance is a acid or a base. Since, acids and bases surround us, it is important know information about them and how to detect them. Before we start measuring acid we have to…
system, and ionic character of solute. Ionic character and pH were manipulated to increase solubility favorability of the compound in extraction solvent. In essence, pH is the easiest factor to manipulate because it merely involves using an aqueous acid or base as an extraction solvent that simultaneously abides by the four solvent requirements of extraction. In regard to recrystallization, an impure compound is allowed to dissolved into a solvent and then allowed to reform as a pure solid…
ABSTRACT: Acid mine drainage has a prominent and damaging effect on the environment. This paper outlines the environmental impact, the chemistry behind the acid generation, and methods of treatment. The objective of this paper is to educate the reader about acid mine drainage, and what can be done to reduce this pollutant. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: Acid mine drainage (AMD) often occurs at abandoned mining sites. Acid generation is the result of combining certain minerals, water, and an oxidant.…
Investigation was carried out to assess the effect of salt concentration on quality of sauerkraut prepared from mature cabbage head. Cabbage sample were chopped in small pieces and mixed with different salt concentrations ie., 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 % and allowed to ferment for preparation of sauerkraut at ambient condition. Acidity of sauerkraut increased with increase in fermentation period and it reached maximum on 21 days after fermentation and thereafter it decreased in all the salt…
chemistry lab, the chemicals sodium chloride, in both chip and powdered form, and hydrochloric acid. Michael decides to mix the two substances by pouring the hydrochloric acid on the sodium hydroxide in both states chip and powder form. Michael does not have an aim or reason for doing this so his intentions are unknown. Michael gives a possible outcome or hypothesis that as soon as the hydrochloric acid is added the chips of sodium chloride would react instantaneously and quick because of its…
Amine synthesis is a three-step organic reaction that converts an alkyl halide to a primary amine. The advantage offered by Gabriel Amine synthesis is that it avoids poly-alkylation. Step 1: acid-base reaction. The acidic phthalimide molecule gets deprotonated by a strong base. The strength of an acid depends on the stability of the conjugate base. The negative charge on the conjugate base of phthalimide is delocalised over three highly electronegative oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The combined…
Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, limiting equivalent conductance (Λ0), ion association, activation energy and thermodynamic functions. Introduction: The measurement of electrical conductivities of dilute solutions of salts or complexes is considered to be one of the important methods for studying the ion-pair or multiple- ion association not only in aqueous solutions but also in non-aqueous or mixed ones 1-4. Also, conductivity measurements were used to evaluate the hydration free energy of some…
is a method used to determine the mass or concentration of a substance by measuring a change in mass. To determine the concentration of the sulfate, the precipitation of Barium sulfate is done first by adding the sulfate solution with hydrochloric acid, then heating while stirring it. Next is the washing and filtration of the Barium Sulfate precipitate, using a vacuum pump and a crucible. Lastly, is the drying and weighing of the precipitate by heating the crucible in the oven and cooling it in…
