A cid rain is formed when certain gases dissolve in rainwater to form acids. Acid rain by definition in the Chemistry book states: "Rainwater that has become excessively acidic because of absorption of pollutant oxides, notably SO3, produced by human activities"(1). There are airborne pol...
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to learn and use the techniques of titration which would then determine the amount of acid in an unknown. Introduction: One of the most common reactions in chemistry is the reaction of an acid with a base. This reaction is called neutralization. In ...
Enzyme Kinetics Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the factors that influence enzyme reaction rates. Amylase enzyme activity was measured through its absorption rate in spectrophotometer, using light with a wavelength of 560 nm. We compared the absorbance rates by varyin...
Review the effect of acid rain on the local distributions of fish and aquatic invertebrates. What are the biological reasons for the disappearance of these animals as pH falls? Humans produce about 160% of the natural emissions of sulphur. This is compared with about 5-10% in the case of carbon...
A chemistry investigation to look at the rates of reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid. Task My task is to measure the rate of reaction between marble chips (CaCO3) and Hydrochloric acid (2Hcl). Diagram Plan The equipment I will be usi...
