is the effect of acid rain have on the growth of radish seeds? Hypothesis: The seeds that are not in acid rain will germinate more because the acid rain will cause most of the seeds to not germinate because the acid will burn the chemical the seed needs to germinate Materials Diluted Sulfuric Acid (Acid Rain) Normal Rain 60 Radish Seed Glass marking pencil Masking tape 2 petri dishes Sponges (2) Graduated cylinder Procedure: Label the petri dishes with “regular” and “acid”. Place a

After examining the acid-base gas levels, the patient is diagnosed with metabolic alkalosis with partial compensation because of the increase of base components due to baking soda consumption and the decrease of acid components by excessive vomiting. The patient’s pH level is 7.48, which is above the normal range of 7.35-7.45 labeling it a base. A base lowers the amount of free hydrogen ions in solution and although a weak base, it can prevent major changes in the body fluid pH. An example of a weak

concentration of acetic acid in a sample of vinegar was calculated. The sample used for the experiment was sample 4, created on 2/22/2017. The concentration was calculated by titrating the vinegar with NaOH. Unfortunately, NaOH does not form a pure solution so its concentration also had to be calculated. This was done by using it to titrate a solution of KHP, which does form a pure solution. Once the concentration of NaOH was known, it could be used to calculate the mols of acetic acid in a known volume

Maintenance of acid and based balance in the body is essential for normal function of biological processes, mainly because of the dependence of pH level for enzyme function. The body concentration of acids and bases is controlled so that the pH of extracellular body fluids is maintained within the range of 7.35 to 7.45. The body maintain this balance by a mechanism that generate buffer and eliminate acids and bases. A base is an ion or molecule that can accept or combine with a hydrogen ion and an acid is a

Mohammad Rezwan Ferdous AUENV 120 Dr Dee Patriquin September 15, 2017 Acid Rain and its Effects on the Environment in Western Canada Environmental Issue Sulphuric acid and nitric acid are the main acidic components of acid rain. Any sort of precipitation such as rain, snow, fog with these acidic components is called acid rain. Acid rain is an issue that has recently become intensified due to the increased burning of fossil fuels. Gaseous emission from vehicles and power plants are also responsible

Acid Rain: its Effect Acid rain refers to precipitation that is more acidic (having lower pH levels) than average. In more detail, acid rain is a type of precipitation that has mixtures of wet and dry materials coming from the atmosphere, which includes more nitric and sulphuric acids (Conserve Energy Future: Acid Rain). Acid rain can also be written as “Acid Deposition” because the acid rain could come down as other precipitation, for instance, snow. This became a worldwide problem due to the

To define and understand the key terms. ~acid ~buffer system ~base ~acidosis ~pH ~alkalosis ~pH scale ~hypoventilation ~pH indicators ~hyperventilation b. To determine the acidic or base nature and actual pH of various substances. c. To discuss the formation of the carbonic acid/bicarbonate ion

Abstract: In this experiment, it was attempted to purify acid phosphatase from wheat germ in its native confirmation with retention of enzymatic activity. The fraction that would contain the purified acid phosphatase (Supernatant IV), had 4.0mg of total protein, but no enzymatic activity and 0% recovery. The experiment was not successful. Acid phosphatase was not purified in its native confirmation with retention of enzymatic activity. In part 2c of the experiment, an error was made in the amount

compromise the acid-base balance processes. Acid-Base Balances and Fluids and Electrolytes This is the most common challenge to acid-base balance develops when the respiratory system can't eliminate all the CO2 generated by the peripheral tissues. CO2 is the single biggest influence on acid-base balance in the body, because it is generated as a metabolic waste product 24/7 by virtually every body cell. Primary symptom is

Background: Acids are known to chemistry as the chemical substances that are below seven on the pH scale and they cause litmus paper to turn red. They are also known to have a sour taste but not all acids should be tasted due to some of them being extremely dangerous and should not be in contact with human body parts. In this lab, we worked with an acid known Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). HCl is a clear liquid that visibly looks no different from water. HCl is known to be very dangerous when in contact
