Unknown Weak Acid Lab Report

My unknown organism #6 is Morganella morganii, which is a gram-negative bacillus rods commonly found in the environment and also in the intestinal tracts of humans, mammals, and reptiles as a normal flora. (3, 5) This bacterium Morganella morganii, was first discovered in the 1906 by a British bacteriologist named H. de R. Morgan. (2) Despite its wide distribution, it is an uncommon cause of community-acquired infection and is most often encountered inpostoperative and other nosocomial settings. (2, 3) Morganella morganii infections respond well to appropriate antibiotic therapy; however, its

The human sense of touch is known as the somatic or somatosensory system. The skin is the biggest and most complex organ in the somatosensory system.The somatosensory system permits the human body to experience pressure, texture, temperature, and pain, and to see the position and development of the body's muscles and joints.The receptor cells in the skin can be separated into three useful classifications: mechanoreceptors that sense pressure and surface, thermoreceptors that sense temperature, and nociceptors that sense pain. Thermoreceptors distinguish changes in temperature utilizing two sorts of receptor cells: warm and cold. Thus, thermoreceptors on the skin detects the temperature signal using two specific receptors cell: warm and cold.

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the pKa, Ka, and molar mass of an unknown acid (#14). The pKa was found to be 3.88, the Ka was found to be 1.318 x 10 -4, and the molar mass was found to be 171.9 g/mol.

The outer membrane in the cyanobacterium cell (Phormidium uncinatum) is the structure that makes the cell gram negative. On the other hand, the characteristic that makes the cell gram positive is the thick peptidoglycan layer.

Ionic compounds are soluble in water to a certain point depending on the compound. The level of solubility changes among different compounds. Some ionic compounds can completely dissolve in water and appear to be a homogeneous mixture. Although, some ionic compounds dissolve very little, and could be considered insoluble, since it does not dissolve fully. Depending on the compound, the level of solubility can be high or low. However, ionic compounds could dissolve to a certain degree. If the solution appears to be a heterogeneous mixture, many may assume through visual representation that it may be insoluble. As stated previously, the smallest amount of solubility should be considered. To confirm whether or not the substance is soluble, observe the efficiency when conducting electricity. Due to practical reasons, the slightest solubility could be considered insoluble by people.

If Na undergoes a chemical reaction with Cl, and if K undergoes a chemical reaction with I, what can you say about all the elements that belong to these 2 different families (families from questions 3 and 4)?

Table 2: Consists of color extract taken from a red cabbage for a natural indicator. The pH reading that was measured by using the pH meter and the result of the pH reading to determine whether the solution was acidic or basic.

Chemistry 102 is the study of kinetics – equilibrium constant. When it comes to the study of acid-base, equilibrium constant plays an important role that tells how much of the H+ ion will be released into the solution. In this lab, the method of titrimetry was performed to determine the equivalent mass and dissociation constant of an unknown weak monoprotic acid. For a monoprotic acid, it is known that pH = pKa + log (Base/Acid). When a solution has the same amount of conjugate base and bronsted lowry acid, log (Base/Acid) = 0 and pH = pKa. By recording the pH value throughout the titration process and determining the pH at half- equivalence point, the value of Ka can be easily calculated. In this experiment, the standardized NaOH solution has a concentration of 0.09834 M. The satisfactory sample size of known B was 0.2117 g. The average equivalent mass of the unknown sample was found to be 85.01 g, pKa was found to be 4.69, which was also its pH at half-equivalence point and Ka was found to be 2.0439×〖10〗^(-5). The error was 1.255% for equivalent mass and 0.11% for Ka. In other word, the experiment was very precise and accurate; the identity of the unknown sample was determined to be trans-crotonic by the method of titrimetry.

Identifying Organism 6C Introduction: This report details the steps taken and processes used to discover the identity of the unknown organism given to me on Tuesday, November 28th, 2017. With all of the knowledge and skills gained over the semester, in class and in lab, I was able to positively identify my unknown organism. The objective of these labs being, that I successfully utilize the tests and procedures taught during the course to correctly identify my organism and to be able to explain the reasoning behind my tests and results.

It can be seen that the sharp cutting edge of an unused tool has been chamfered after 1 second of machining and has left a sheared surface at the wear land.

Mariah Pranger November 14, 2016 Environmental Unknown Environmental Unknown Section I. Identification of environmental unknown source Environmental unknown “A” was taken from a sink drain in the kitchen at my house. I would say that the kitchen sink does not get large amounts of human use compared to a public restroom sink, but it is the most used sink in the house. At the time of retrieval the sink was moist, and had no dishes. Environmental unknown “F” was taken from the shower floor of the main bathroom at my house. At the time of retrieval there was some amount of humidity in the air.

An unknown was given to our group from the professor. The unknown was in nutrient broth, the group received unknown number 3. And the task was to identify the unknown and try to make an educated guess, and identify the unknown #3.

Observe and measure a weak acid neutralization and determine the unknown identity of an unknown acid by titration.

Experiment 5 titled “Acids, Bases, Salt, and pH”. The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with some properties of salt, bases, and acids, measure acidity (pH), and correlate abnormal acidity of blood or urine. The activities for this lab is to measure the pH of some acid solutions and base solutions using pH paper/meter, and neutralize an acid solution by reacting with base solutions. To begin this experiment (Acid), there will be bottles of different acids (hydrochloric, nitric acid, sulfuric, and acetic acids) on top of the bench. Place one drop of each acid on a blue and red litmus paper and then place a drop of each liquid on (pH) paper. Record the observations. For the Base, place one drop of each liquid (sodium hydroxide, ammonium

Conducting this lab there was many parts that determined the results of each section. Beginning the lab we were provided a weak acid, which was labeled as the Glycine, which contained a pka of 9.5. A weak acid is recognized as an acid that ionized partially. With a weak acid it makes it similar to the weak base due to that also being only partially ionized rather than completely ionized. During the experiments we had Solium Glycaine as our weak base. With the use of our weak acid and our weak base we were able to develop an equal mixture of both solutions together to create our buffer. The buffer developed was both the Glycaine and the Sodium Glycaine equally mixed together. The use of a buffer is what is used to adjust the value of
