The purpose of this lab is to determine a weak acid and its acid dissociation constant (Ka) through a process of an acid-base titration. A sample of the unknown weak acid was made into a 100 mL solution, where 20 mL was take out for titration; phenolphthalein was added in as the indicator. NaOH, as the titrant, is dripped into the weak acid solution until a slight change in coloration (from clear to pink) was noted. At this point in time, the titrated solution is diluted with 20 mL more of the weak

changes in acid-base status of a patient can arise and the mechanisms available in the body to rectify these. In the body, blood has many different roles. However, one of its main functions is to maintain the balance between acidity and alkalinity. Blood acidity increases when the level of acidic compounds in the body rise, or when the level of alkaline compounds in the body fall. The bodies balance between acidity and alkalinity is known as the ‘acid-base balance’. The blood's acid-base balance is

What is an Acid-Base Neutralization Reaction? Acid-base neutralization reactions are ubiquitous, yet they play an immense role in various contexts of life. For instance, they help maintain homeostasis in the biological systems and regulate the conditions of soil in agriculture. In general, neutralization reactions required two reactants: an acid and a base, which combine to form water and a salt. A neutralization reaction is a “reaction between an acid and a base” (Burdge 365). In this case, the

Chrysochoou (201647422) CL218 Laboratory 4: Acids and Bases Introduction Concrete is a unique and extensive conducive construction material by virtue of its excellent compressive strength. Structures and structural elements made of concrete must therefore also be able to withstand chemically attacking substances, which are constantly acting on them because this affects the concrete strength. This laboratory examines the effects of acids and bases on the strength of the concrete. Methodology Six

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 molecule that can release a hydrogen. (Grossman, Port, 2014). Acids and bases exist as a buffer system. For example, a mixture of a weak acid can reversibly become base or a mixture of

molarity of a concentration and the acid-base titration. In part A of this experiment, the molarity of an assigned concentration which was 0.040, was found using formulas that represent molarity. Part B of this experiment, which was titration of an acid and base, was found by a series of steps that involved dropping Sodium Hydroxide from a buret into vinegar, until the perfect shade of pale pink occurred. With the Phenolphthalein, too much acid causes the base to turn a dark pink. The molarity was then

Mariam Sy May 8, 2014 Acid- Base Titration Lab Write-up Introduction: Titration is the process of adding measured volumes of a base or acid with a known concentration to an acid or base with an unknown concentration in order to determine the unknown concentration. Volume measurements play an important role in titration. It involves measuring the exact volume of a solution with a known concentration that will react with a measured volume of a solution that has an unknown concentration. The

Potter was a well known base jumper who has lost his life in because of the sport that he loves. He pushed the limits, and just made one mistake that ended it all for him while jumping at Yosemite National Park (Paulson). According to a 2002 study, the estimated fatality rate was one in sixty participants (Paulson). This fatality rate being so high can make people shy away from the sport, but people will still push themselves towards something no matter the dangers. Base-jumping is a dangerous sport

Beau Renegar May 3rd, 2017 Acid-Base Titration Lab Report The purpose of this lab was to determine the molarity of a sulfuric acid solution. The materials used include a buret, a pipet, two 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks, water, phenophthalein, potassium hydroxide, and sulfuric acid. Safety concerns included working with potentially dangerous substances like sulfuric acid. Procedure and Observations Procedure Data and Observations 1. Pipet 10.00 mL of the sulfuric acid solution into each of the 250-mL
