Acid And Bases Lab Project 7

6-3: This process is used by cells to manufacture _biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products__

I will be doing this experiment to understand density of water compared to the volume of an object. D=m/v=mass/volume

At normal PCO2 and pH levels, what level of H+ was present in the urine?

weak bases). After ranking the pH of these solutions, you will then test your predictions in the laboratory.

Three grams of a mixture containing Benzoic Acid and Naphthalene was obtained and placed in 100 ml beaker and added 30 ml of ethyl acetate for dissolving the mixture. A small amount (1-2 drops) of this mixture was separated into a test tube. This test tube was covered and labelled as “M” (mixture). This was set to the side and used the following week for the second part of lab. The content in the beaker was then transferred into separatory funnel. 10 ml of 1 M NaOH added to the content and placed the stopper in the funnel. In the hood separatory funnel was gently shaken for approximately one minute and vent the air out for five seconds. We repeated the same process in the same manner one more time by adding 10ml of 1M NaOH.

When using different methods to measure pH levels there are some tools that can be useful. Some more than others but by putting into action the different methods it may determine which tools will work best and give the best results when testing the pH within a solution. The pH, which stands for the proportion of hydrogen ions in a solution, could be acidic (acidosis), neutral or basic (alkaline). The pH scale goes from numbers 1 through 14. A pH of 7 is neutral;

Ammonia, Drain Cleaner, Detergent, and Baking Soda are the basic household solutions. I can tell from their pH values because they’re greater than 7.

My science fair topic will be measuring the acidic levels in different companies of water bottles such as Aquafina, Dasani, Evian, Fiji, Miami Dade Tap Water, Penta, Publix Spring Water, Smart Water, Smart Water, Volvic, Voss, and Zephyrhills. Bottled water has been tested for its ppm (parts per million) to measure the amount of particles inside the water. The pH scale is a measurement of how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is. The pH scale has a range of 0-14; numbers less than 7 are considered acidic and numbers greater than 7 are considered basic. An acidic pH level means that the solution has more free hydrogen ions, and a basic pH level means that the solution has more free hydroxyl ions. pH is reported in logarithmic units and an increase or decrease of one on the pH scale has a 10-fold change. The negative logarithmic of the hydrogen ion concentration calculates the pH level of a solution. This is why pH stands for the potential of hydrogen and it calculate din

By using acid-base titration, we determined the suitability of phenolphthalein and methyl red as acid base indicators. We found that the equivalence point of the titration of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide was not within the ph range of phenolphthalein's color range. The titration of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide resulted in an equivalence point out of the range of methyl red. And the titration of ammonia with hydrochloric acid had an equivalence point that was also out of the range of phenolphthalein.. The methyl red indicator and the phenolphthalein indicator were unsuitable because their pH ranges for their color changes did not cover the equivalence points of the trials in which they were used. However, the

Acid-base balance in the body is important to maintain our normal functions. The regulation of hydrogen ions is essential for the body to perform normally and to achieve homeostasis. Our bodies maintain a pH level between a small margin of 7.35 to 7.45. If the pH level becomes too low, the body goes into a state called acidosis. On the contrary, if it elevates too far, the body enters into a state called alkalosis.

In the 1990s, the effect of chloride on the acid-base balance was thoroughly studied as a physiochemical approach, called the Stewart approach. With the Stewart approach, chloride is a key determinant of the strong ion difference (SID), one of the three independent variables to determine the acid-base status (the two other independent variables are the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and the total weak acid concentration).

The neutralization reaction of an acid and a base will always result in water and a salt. Bases have a slippery feel on fingers and taste bitter. They change litmus paper blue. Where as acids taste sour and create a stinging feeling on the mucous membranes. The difference between acids and bases are that acids are compounds that donate a hydrogen ion (H+) to another compound known as a base.

The pH of a solution is the measure of the concentration of charged Hydrogen ions in that given solution. A solution with a pH lower than seven is considered to be acidic. A solution with a higher pH is a base. It is very important for organisms to maintain a stable pH. Biological molecules such as proteins function only at a certain pH level and any changes in pH can result in them not functioning properly. To maintain these constant pH levels, buffer solutions are used. A buffer solution can resist change to small additions of acids or base’s. A good buffer will have components that act like a base, and components that act like an acid.

I predict that out of the 20 solutions that we are going to be testing, about 6 of them will be an acid, 3 will be neutral and 11 will be a base.
