    preforming a titration with the use of NaOH to convert HCO3- to CO2-3. • Calculate the composition of carbonate and bicarbonate in the solution. Introduction Acid-base titrations are common laboratory practices that are used to determine the concentration of either an acid or a base, by neutralizing the substance with a known concentration of an acid or base. Crude sodium carbonate, also called soda ash, is commonly used as a commercial neutralizing agent. In this experiment, we will determine the composition

    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. Acidosis is caused by an overproduction of acid in the blood, an excessive loss

    them where: what is the difference between an acid and a base; what is pH; what is equilibrium, what is Le Châtelier’s principle; and what is oxidation. Here are some of the things that I learned in lesson 07.01 (Acids and Bases) and lesson 07.02 (Acid-Base Reactions). An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions, H+ or hydrodium ionsH3O+ in solution. There are three “kinds of acids”: Arrhenius, BrØnsted-Lowry, and Lewis Acid. An Arrhenius acid is a substance the increases the concentration

    Acid-Base Balance Kelly Heffron Grand Canyon University NUR-614 September 16, 2015 Acid-Base Balance The acid base balance is a homeostatic process that aides the body in maintaining a pH in the arterial blood between 7.35-7.45 (Patient, 2015). The body works together through multi-systems to ensure that acidity or alkalinity never take over within the blood. The purpose of the following paper is define the classification of the acid-base balance, define the factors from the case study,

    a) In a patient with respiratory acidosis, the partial pressure of CO2 in the plasma (PCO2) rises above normal levels of 40 mmHg (1). Airway resistance due to asthma, respiratory depression due to drug use as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease all cause hypoventilation, lowering partial pressure of plasma oxygen (PO2) to below its normal value of approximately 100 mm Hg (1) and can lead to respiratory acidosis. The equation below describes the equation between CO2 and H2O with H+ and HCO3-

    Metabolic sacidosis occurs when the chemical sbalance of acids and sbases in a patient’s blood gets sthrown off. This can happen when a spatient’s body is making too much sacid, isn't getting rid of senough acid, or doesn't have senough base to offset a normal samount of acid. Metabolic sacidosis is defined as shaving an arterial blood pH less than s7.35 with plasma bicarbonate sless than 22 mmol/L. The patient in sthis case had a blood pH of 7.34 with sa plasma bicarbonate slevel of 14 mmol/L. Additionally

    Acidosis and Alkalosis are both conditions in which the levels of acids and bases are not controlled. The typical pH value for the body is between 7.35 and 7.45. If the pH is above 7.45, it’s called alkalosis, and if the pH is below 7.35 it’s called acidosis. Acidosis Acidosis is an increased acidity in the blood, kidneys, lungs, or other body tissues. There are two types of acidosis, respiratory and metabolic. Respiratory: Respiratory acidosis is a condition where too much carbon dioxide builds

    Extraction: Acid and Base Separation and Isolation Kaleigh Conway Chemistry 2270 Laboratory, Section 017 Instructor: Mudithangani Kolambage October 11, 2017 Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to investigate the method of extraction as a means of isolating pure compounds. In this experiment, the acid-base extraction method was used on a mixture composed of three separate components: an acid, a base, and a neutral component. The extraction solvent used was diethyl ether. Through sequential acid-base

    of the first part of the experiment is extraction. By using liquid-liquid extraction, the acid, base and neutral component of an unknown compound should be isolatable. The unknown compound was in a 1:1:1 ratio of acid, base and neutral components. By dissolving it in 20mL of ethyl acetate, then adding it to a separatory funnel with 20mL of HCl, the HCl would be expected to react with the unknown base in the separatory funnel. Since HCl and the unknown base would be soluble, it would be present in

    For this experiment, the liquid-liquid extraction and recrystallization technique were used to separate the three compounds: neutral, acid, and base. They were separated on their solubilities into both polar and nonpolar characteristics. The other technique, liquid-solid extraction is used when adding a solvent to a solid. Therefore, the proper technique for this lab that was used was the liquid-liquid extraction and recrystallization technique. The two solvents that were used was the original mixture
