Week 2 started by determining the pH of 8 water sources. The pH of the various water sources are displayed in Table 2 as follows: rain water at 5.58, water with atmospheric levels of CO2 at 6.40, the Jordan river at 6.60, the Clear creek at 7.20, Lake Monroe at 7.74, water saturated with CaCO3 at 9.45, and water saturated with CO2 at 4.10.

Identification of Unknown Amino Acid & Measurements of Buffer Capacity Student #: 998493250 Authors: Young, Lee & Melissa Abstract The titration curve of the unknown exhibited many characteristics, such as equivalence points, pKa of ionizable groups, isoelectric point, and buffer regions, that are particularly distinct to lysine. For unclear reasons, the pH during the titration did not reach the pH for pure 0.2 M NaOH nor 0.2 M HCl and normal equivalence points expected at two extreme

Abstract Buffer solutions were prepared and their pH measured to determine their buffering capacity. Three buffer solutions were utilized; an undiluted buffer, a diluted buffer solution with 10ml water and a diluted buffer solution with 18ml water. In the undiluted buffer solution there was minimal pH change with a high of 6.78 and a low of 6.47. In the buffer solution in which 10ml of water was added there was minimal pH change with a high of 6.78 and a low of 6.23. In the buffer solution in which
have the disastrous ability to alter pH from a neutral to an acidic or basic environment?” This question needed to be answered by testing different biological materials, as well as tap water, in order to find out what allows modern day organisms to survive such hazardous conditions. A hypothesis that was formulated before experimenting was, “If type of substance is Tap Water, then the changes in pH will be more drastic because water, considered neutral on the pH scale, doesn’t contain a component that
INTRODUCTION This assignment is going to be discussing and understanding Buffer solutions. The basic principles will be looked at in order to go into more depth to understand the biological importance of buffer solutions and how these solutions are produced as well as how the body is affected by this and the adjustments made. This extended research task is being conducted to fully understand the use and main reasons that buffers exist, not just for environmental reasons but also for biochemical reasons
lab is to determine if liver and potato cells contain natural buffers that resist large change in pH as 1. NaCl or 1. NaOH are added to the solution. Hypothesis: If adding an acid or a base to liver and Potato cells then the solutions will become buffers.

tested the dissociation constant. Acetic acid is mixed with sodium acetate. Part three of the experiment consists of adding acid or bases into the buffer solution and observing the changes that occur. The independent variable in this experiment is the titration of acetic acid being titrated with sodium hydroxide. While the dependent variable is the pH calculated for the acetic acid as sodium hydroxide is being added to the solution. Acetic acid is commonly used in vinegar. “We use vinegar for so

A buffer solution is “a solution that undergoes a limited change in pH upon addition of a small amount of acid or base.” (Smith et al. 2014) A buffer has the ability to neutralise
