components of tissue exudates to form silver chloride (AgCl) and sodium sulfadiazine (NaSd). Sodium sulfadiazine thus formed being a structural analog and competitive antagonists of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), prevent normal bacterial utilization of PABA for the synthesis of folic acid (pteroylglutamic acid) which is required for the synthesis of various precursors of DNA and RNA like thymidine
"PH is the measure of h+ (hydrogen ions) and translates as the power of hydrogen" The term ph indicates the measure of hydrogen ions in a solution. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale that represents the acidity or alkalinity/basicity of a substance. As seen in figure 1 the Ph scale runs from 0.0 to 14.0 with 7.0 indicating neutral.

it wasn’t being changed by the pH. Therefore, we were truly able to see if adding a base, acid, or neutral solution has an affect on the population growth of yeast. Based on the background knowledge that yeasts thrive in acid and die in bases, I was able to make my hypothesis. If we add a neutral solution, weak acid, weak base, and nothing to a sugar and yeast solution, then the test tube with the weak acid will exhibit the highest population growth. This will be due to the fact that yeast usually
Determination of % by mass of NaCO3 in Alka-Seltzer Tablets Alka-Seltzer is an effervescent antacid typically used for pain relief and neutralizing stomach acid to alleviate indigestion. Alka-Seltzer tablets contain Aspirin, Citric Acid (CH3COOH), and Sodium Bicarbonate (NaCO3). When the tablet is placed in water it undergoes an acid-base reaction and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a byproduct that causes the notorious “Fizz”. The objective of the lab was to measure the % of NaCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer
Year 12 Chemistry ERT Pool Chemistry. Yaza George Raising and lowering pH Adding an acid to the pool water reduces the pH. If the Total alkalinity of the pool water is within the recommended parameters of 80 - 120ppm, pH reducer should be added according to the instructions on the container. The acid should usually be added to water and mixed before dosing the pool. The pump should be running when the acid is slowly distributed around the pool. Low pH in swimming pool water may cause one or more
the observation that the colour of some flowers depends on soil composition. Classify common substances as acidic, basic, or neutral An acid is a substance in solution which produces hydronium ions (H3O+) and is less than 7 on the pH scale. A base is a substance that produces the hydroxide ion (OH-) when in solution and is greater than 7 on the pH scale. Acids commonly have a sour taste, are corrosive, and conduct electricity in solution. Bases (or alkalis) have a soapy feel and a bitter taste,
My question is “Does the temperature of a substance effect it’s ph?.” I will be testing this by using ph indicator strips that change color when it comes in contact with an acid or a base and comparing it with a color chart. The substances I will be using are vinegar, orange juice , and lemon juice. These can all be found at a local grocery store. The ph paper and color chart can be found at Walmart. Besides my experiment there have been other experiments that have tested temperature’s
concentration of the unknown acid or base. In this case, the experiment uses a strong base to titrate the unknown acid. Once the titration is complete, the data is plotted to create a graph that shows the equivalence point as well as the change in pH with each volumetric addition of NaOH. The equivalence point in the graph is the point where the moles of acid equal the moles of base added, which can be expressed as the equation MaVa = MbVb. On any titration graph involving a monoprotic acid and a strong base
If your blood contains too much acid, the kidney will expel H+ and absorb HCO3-. Having your blood have too much base or not enough acids, the kidney will then excrete HCO3- and then hold on to the H+. The kidneys takes several days to control the blood pH, which is longer in comparison to the lungs, but it still works well and contributes
The unknown compound was solid at room temperature and was white. It was soluble in water, as indicated by Table 1. Of the list of possible known compounds, the unknown could not be CaCO3 or MgCO3 because neither one of those compounds are soluble in water, but it could have been any salt as the compound is ionic. From there, a conductivity test proved that the unknown compound conducted 1.1 volts of electricity, meaning the compound contained both positively and negatively charged ions that move
