    Introduction: In this experiment acid base indicators will be tested, using a red cabbage mixture. Substances can be classified as acidic or alkalinic depending on the concentration of hydrogen or hydroxide ions. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions the lower the pH this means it will be an acid and the higher the concentration of hydroxide ions the higher the pH this means it will be an base(science prof online). A pH indicator is a solution or mixture that changes colour in the presence

    therefore making it a good indicator for determining the presence of metal cations. Specifically, in the lab Mg2+ cations reacted with with the EDTA to form EDTA complexes. This then resulted in a change of color for the indicator. Similarly Erio-Black T is also a good substance to use for testing the water samples in this experiment because it works as an indicator and changes from red then to purple and finally to blue around the pH range of 7-11. In addition, we used a pH 10 buffer to ensure that

    pledge that the data represented in this report was my own collected during lab or provided to me by my TA. Introduction Bromothymol blue is an indicator used in titration-based experiments and transitions color as the ratio of protonation, and ultimately pH, of a given solution changes. This ratio is commonly illustrated by the Henderson-Hasselback equation (pH=pKa+log⁡[A^-/HA]), where A^- represents the concentration of conjugate base and HA is the concentration of acid in the observed sample. The

    Pigments from the red cabbage help determine the pH of a solution. The pH scale is used to measure how acidic or basic a solution is. The scale used ranges from 0-14; a pH of 7 is neutral, less than 7 would be acidic and greater than 7 would be basic [1]. A pH indicator is used as a chemical detector for hydroxide and hydrogen molecules [2]. In the experiment, the red cabbage pigment called Anthocyanin was used as a pH indicator. Anthocyanin is a water-soluble pigment that is classified as flavonoids

    purchased over the counter and don’t require trained physician to take. Antacids decrease the amount of pH acid produced by the stomach. It is usually a chemical salt of an alkaline ion and a counter ion. The pH scale runs from 0-14, with 0 being a strong acid(substance with hydrogen ions H+),7 neutral, and 14 a strong base(substance containing hydroxide ions OH-). The stomach has an average pH of around 1.5-3.5.

    Many indicators can be used in order to carry out this titration a few of these include litmus paper, methyl red and bromophenel blue which one is used in order to carry out the titration depends on the pH range of the acid and base used. Using the correct indicator makes it easier to achieve accurate results. The end result of this titration is determined by the colour in which the solution

    calculated using the M 1 V 1 = M 2 V 2 relationship. It was then gradually added to the vinegar solution until the acid-base reaction was completely neutralized. To regulate the reaction, phenolphthalein, an acid-base indicator, was added beforehand to the vinegar (analyte). The indicator will change its color, signaling that the end point is obtained and the volume of NaOH used can now be

  • Unknown Acid Molarity

    Introduction: The unknown acid molarity will be determining by titration method. Titration is a process depends on concentration of known solution to another solution until the solute in the another solution completely react. Standard solution is the solution of known concentration that used in titration. In this experiment, NaOH was the titrant (base) however, the two analyte which used were HCl and H2SO4. The chemical reaction equations are molecular and ionic molecular equation for (NaOH) and

    Procedure Before conducting any experiment, it is important to wear safety goggles to ensure protection for the eyes. With the objective of differentiating the two unknown substances, the ideal method to determine which substance is an acid or base was utilizing litmus paper. After a few drops of the first substance, on one half of the litmus paper, no colour change was observed. It was concluded that the second solution would be the acid or base. To determine whether it was an acid or base, a few

    To determine the amount of iron in the iron tablets I carried out a titration, however the titration I carried out in a school lab is different to how titrations are carried out in industry. For example in schools, titrations are carried out by hand using a burette and measurements carried out by us, whereas in industry there are machines that are automated to carry out titrations by themselves. In schools when the titration is carried out by hand it means that it will take longer, and be less accurate
