minutes with a pH probe (as lipase breaks down into fatty acids) to test the strength of the acid produced. This will show how well the enzyme has worked and a pattern should emerge in my results relating the temperature to the strength of the acid. The stronger the acid, the better the enzyme has worked. This will be shown in my results as the more under a pH of 7 the final pH is, the better the enzyme has worked during the reaction at a certain temperature. For example, a final pH of 6.1 and

If there is mould present, mycotoxins could form. pH end point should be greater than or equal to 2.5. Overfermentation can cause acetic acid to increase to hazardous levels. No more than 4oz. per day should be consumed. 8(b) Option B): Package for retail sale Biological Hazard: Spoilage with yeasts
as phenolphthalein, or a pH meter (Nelson & Cox, 2008 pg58). In this practical, a pH meter was used and this allows for the acidity or alkalinity of a solution to be measured, and this was more accurate than using an indicator dye. The use of the pH meter in titration is generally preferred more over the visual indicator because the equivalence point can be measured
properties of buffer solutions 1. To prepare two buffer solutions of pH values of 5.2 and 8.8 2. To check the pH and buffer action of the prepared buffers 3. To examine the effect of dilution of the prepared buffers on their pH and buffering capacity Introduction ------------ A buffer is a physical area or object protecting something. A chemical "buffer" is a mixture of two compounds that protects the pH of a solution from undergoing large changes when small amounts of acid (in
being eat and drink have different pH levels, which is why it is so important for humans to be knowledgeable on the difference between acids and bases to be able to balance the pH levels in their bodies to remain healthy. For one to determine whether or not a substance is an acid or a base, they first must know the types of ions the substance contains. Due to how wide the range is from a very acidic solution to a very basic solution scientists created a scale, the pH scale, to measure how acidic or
are planted in spring and harvested in the autumn. This plant changes colour according to the pH level of the soil; the plant contains a pigment flavin (anthocyanins). If the soil is acidic, the plant leaves will be reddish; an alkaline soil will make the plant leaves a green-yellow colour and a neutral soil will make the plant leaves purple. The juice of the purple cabbage can be used as a home-made pH indicator. Acidic solutions have more hydrogen (H+) ions therefore they can donate more H+ ions;
the column sequentially, is composed of a stationary and mobile phase. The stationary phase is usually a viscous liquid with a high boiling point that coats the inside of the column and the mobile phase is generally a gas. In this experiment a 30 meter long capillary GC column was used and the mobile phase gas was Helium. The different parts of the sample are separated based on their affinities for the mobile and stationary phase. A sample that has a high affinity for the stationary phase and also
dichloroethanoic acid. Procedure: ========== 1. The pH meter is calibrated, using a buffer solution of accurately known pH. 2. 20.0cm3 of 0.10M ethanoic acid was pipetted into a conical flask. 3. 0.10M sodium hydroxide solution was titrated using phenolphthalein as indicator, until the solution was just turned pink. 4. A further 20.0cm3 of the same ethanoic acid solution was added to the flask and was mixed thoroughly. 5. The pH of the resulting solution was determined. Result:
three purposes. Firstly, to introduce some important types of electrodes in electrochemical and environmental studies. Secondly, to show how to use glass electrodes in the determination of ionization constants of weak poly acid through titration of pH. Then, to study the reaction of hydrolysis using glass electrodes. For this experiment, there were two parts which were determination of ionization constants of phosphoric acid in part A and determination of degree and constant of hydrolysis of aniline
“Comparative pH titrations of strong and weak acids” Experiment #6 – The aim of the experiment is to titrate a strong acid and a weak acid with a primary standard solution NaOH and finding its pH. The titrant NaOH which is 1M is filled in the burette. Below the titrant, a 250-ml beaker is positioned is such a way that while titrating the NaOH is poured down the beaker which is filled with a solution of 75-ml of DI water and 25-ml of HCL. In order to begin titration, the electrode is

The discussion of equipment, results, and experimental procedure will be discussed in the following paper entitled "Liquid-Liquid Extraction.” Even though the process had not been used in several years, everything worked very well. The flow meter used to measure the water flow rate had a small leak which was easily remedied using a bucket. One of the storage tanks still had approximately 400 liters of kerosene with a benzoic acid concentration of 0.00208 (gm/mL). Using this as a feed for the
Analysing the Ethanoic Acid Concentration in Different Types of Vinegars Vinegar is a mixture of various acids, ethanoic acid being the most abundant. Most vinegars are made from a sugary liquid, this liquid is fermented to produce ethanol and then oxidised to form ethanoic acid. Different vinegars use different sugary liquids and this could lead to variation between the vinegars. My aim in this investigation is to discover whether the concentration of ethanoic acid varies between vinegars

case we had a base as our unknown (analyte). The use of a certain amount of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid will be used to titrate the unknown solution that is given. This is the tirant. We used hydrochloric acid as our titrant. We achieved a pH of 5.56 at an end point of 10 milliliters. The unknown’s concentration was around 0.098 M at pka(s) of 6 and 7. The sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid are called titrant and it is contained in a container called burette. The unknown solution is
What is Ocean Acidification? is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere What could happen if pH lowers in the world’s oceans? First, the pH of seawater water gets lower as it becomes more acidic. Second, this process binds up carbonate ions and makes them less abundant Cruise Plan and Map: Where is the Davis Strait? the strait is in Sisimiut, Greenland, it separates the depths of Baffin Bay (north) from those of
Identifying Five Unknown Chemicals I was given 5 unknown samples, which are sodium chloride, sodium thiosulfate, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium nitrate and these samples are all white and solid. However, I don’t know which substance is which sample and I was only given some information about the physical and chemical properties of these substances. In order to identify the 5 unknown samples, knowing which sample is which substance, I have to carry out this experiment,

Reducing power is the method that to determine the reducing ability in antioxidant. 3. Scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals (DPPH) is the method that to determine the antioxidant ability to remove the DPPH which is a kind of free radical. 2.2
Determination of An Unknown Amino Acid From Titration Abstract Experiment 11 used a titration curve to determine the identity of an unknown amino acid. The initial pH of the solution was 1.96, and the pKa’s found experimentally were 2.0, 4.0, and 9.85. The accepted pKa values were found to be 2.10, 4.07, and 9.47. The molecular weight was calculated to be 176.3 while the accepted value was found to be 183.5. The identity of the unknown amino acid was established to be glutamic acid, hydrochloride
Neutralisation - How much acid is required to neutralise a base Introduction ============ Neutralisation is the reaction of a base with an acid to form a neutral solution; which contains salt and water. Acid + Base Salt + Water --------------------------- In my experiment I am trying to find out how much acid it takes to neutralise a base to form a neutral solution. I will use one molar of Nitric Acid as the acid and one molar of Ammonium Hydroxide as the base. So this will be a 1:1 ratio. (Molarity
