This lab includes a theoretical explanation of how buffers work and how they are made, including a derivation of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Students will use what they have learned to ...

Acids are chemical compounds that will ionize in water having a hydrogen ion (H+) active greater than that of water. Acids can give up a proton and they are of two types, it is strong acids and weak ...

Acid is a water-soluble compounds having a sour taste and capable of turning litmus red and reacting with a base to form a salt. A corrosive liquid with a pH less than 7; a solution of in water of a ...

Water molecules can break down into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. \(H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq)+OH^{-}(aq)\) This is a reversible reaction. A small proportion of water molecules break up ...

THE oxycarboxylic acids are very strong complex-forming agents, and both the carboxylic and the alcoholic hydroxyl groups take part in such formation. For calculation of complex stability constants it ...
