The effectiveness of commercial antacids to neutralize acid Introduction The human stomach contains gastric juices with a pH between 1.5 and 3.5 when these highly acidic juices rise into the less acidic lower esophagus pain and discomfort can occur (Exploring Biology in the Laboratory). There are many commercial antacids on the market that claim to relieve the pain more effectively than their competitors.

sates that the environment in which the subject is in affects their characteristics far more than any deep-seated traits.

or slightly soluble in water but soluble in non-polar organic solvents. Lipids can be classified into four groups which are -fats, oils, and waxes, -compound lipids, -steroids, and -derived lipids. Various experiments are done on lipids. Some tests are for saturation, presence of certain compounds, or for the different chemical reactions that lipids undergo. Lipids may be composed of esters, amides, alcohols, cyclic, acyclic, or polycyclic

of Ions in Solutions Using Acid/Base Chemistry: A Quality Control Test Objective: This lab focuses on the detection of ions using titration as an analysis tool. You will standardize NaOH and HCl solutions so that you know the exact concentration and then prepare samples of common household items in order to determine the amount of calcium in Tang®, Mg(OH)2 in Milk of Magnesia, etc. You will learn to prepare samples of a specified concentration, learn about acids and bases through the use of
