Weak acid

can we differentiate acids and bases? How do we know if a substance is an acid or a base? There are different methods to discover whether a substance is an acid or a base. One of the methods is by using an acid-base indicator or by identifying hydrogen or hydroxide ions in a substance’s chemical formula. Certain materials such as a plastic template, red litmus paper, blue litmus paper, phenolphthalein, universal indicator, and a pH chart can be used to help us distinguish acids and bases.…

and therefore, this prevents histamine binding and receptor activation [1]. LOR is a drug belonging to a class II in the biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS), which it has low solubility in water and high permeability [2]. Moreover, LOR is a weak base with a pKa of 5.0 and its solubility is affected by pH media [3]. Accordingly, LOR has the lowest solubility at pH 7.5 and the highest at pH 1.2 [2]. It is known that a drug with either poor solubility in water or low permeability often…

Acid rain results in many ecological effects, with the most severe of these affects being its impact on lakes, streams, and aquatic environments in general. It negatively affects marine life, because acid rain makes waters acidic, causing the absorption of Aluminum; which is a combination that threatens some aquatic animals. As the acidity of water increases, the number of fish and marine animals in general decline. Although, there are some species that are able to survive in acidic water,…

Pure Copper Iodide were synthesised and the mass percentage of Copper in purified Copper (I) Iodide sample were determined by applying Beer’s Law in UV-Vis spectroscopy. Absorbance value of Cu-cuprizone solution was measured. Using the absorbance value of 0.3576 , the concentration of the Cu-cuprizone solution were obtained at 0.001389g/L with reference to the graph of the standard solution A to D. The graph of absorbance against concentration of the standard solution A to D shows a linear…

constant variable is the acid which is in the flask. When the solid acid dissolves to form ions, 1 mole of H+ ions are produced for every mole of acid being used. Molarity is used to calculate moles per liter of solution. The most dangerous part of this lab is the risk of getting…

Lowry independently expanded the Arrhenius acid definition into one of his own. The Bronsted-Lowry acid is a molecule or ion that is a proton donor. Lewis's definition emphasizes the role of electron pairs in acid-base reactions. A Lewis acid is an atom, ion or molecule that accepts an electron pair to form a covalent that accepts an electron pair to form a covalent bond. Each theory agrees that an acid is a substance that is dissolved in water and is separated. Although…

Lab 14/ Test 6: Determination of Acid Dissociation Constants through Titration Sabrina Tom I.Abstract The two unknown solutions A and E were titrated with NaOH solutions. For each solution, one fast and three slow titrations were done to see where the pH rose exponentially. The unknown solutions A and E were determined to be Pyridinium ion acid and oxalic acid, respectively. II.Theories One significant concept throughout this lab is titrations. A titration is a lab method analyzes a…

Key concepts Chemistry Chemical reaction Acids Bases Water Introduction Have you ever had a refreshing bath with bubbles or bath salts? What if you could use chemistry to create a bath-time treat that incorporated both fizzing bubbles and soothing salts? Such a combination does exist, and it's called a bath bomb. If you have never experienced one, these "bombs" become fizzy when they touch the water. Why? It is due to a chemical reaction taking place between different ingredients within the…

this lab was to separate unknown compound 204, composed of an amine, a carboxylic acid, and a neutral component, into each of its three respective states. The unknown compound was separated using microscale separation of acidic, basic, and neutral components by liquid/liquid extraction. Liquid/liquid extraction is a very common method often used in work-ups and allows for isolation of neutral components using acid/base chemistry; this method is extremely helpful in separating reactants and…

One of the most basic currency we use has a lot of interesting properties but we never pay attention to them. This paper will be talking about those special things.everyday people have problems with dirty pennies, people with O.C.D and germaphobic relations. So it would be very useful if people knew the best way to clean them. Pennies are made up of many things, some of which react with other things that make them have special properties. The properties that make pennies dirty are “...2.5%…
