    Acid Base Gas Case Study

    • 424 Words
    • 2 Pages

    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

    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

    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

    The purpose of the lab is to determine the molar concentration of acidic acid in vinegar by titrating it with a solution of NaOH. The sodium hydroxide is a basic solution. When adding it to a acetic acid, a neutralization occurs. An indicator is added to the solution. The indicator is a dark pink color. When the NaOH is added, it makes the solution more basic and causes the solution to turn light pink. The experiment is successfully completed when the right amount of indicator is added, and It turns

    Acid-Base Extraction Lab Experimental: Three grams of a mixture containing Benzoic Acid and Naphthalene was obtained and placed in 100 ml beaker and added 30 ml of ethyl acetate for dissolving the mixture. A small amount (1-2 drops) of this mixture was separated into a test tube. This test tube was covered and labelled as “M” (mixture). This was set to the side and used the following week for the second part of lab. The content in the beaker was then transferred into separatory funnel. 10 ml of

    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

    By definition, acids are substances that donate protons in chemical reactions, and therefore increase the concentration of hydrogen ions when reacting with water. Within the category of acids, there exists two sub-categories: weak acids and strong acids. Although there are a few, strong acids dissociate completely with water, while weak acids only slightly dissociate with water. Moreover, within the weak acids, there exists monoprotic acids, diprotic acids, and polyprotic acids. As each prefix indicates
