A range of production processes frequently employ acid mixtures comprised of two or three acids; for example, nitric acids, sulfuric acids and hydrochloric acids. In order to use these acids safely ...

THE structure of polyadenylic acid can be expected to have some influence on the availability of polar groups, such as the primary amino-group of the adenine base, for binding of hydrogen ions.

THE chemical determination of ascorbic acid is based upon the high reducing capacity shown by this substance with different organic compounds. One of the best known methods based upon this property is ...

I’m sure many of you reading this can remember your first acid-base titrations in chemistry class—the thrill of watching the pH indicator change color, and the fear of opening the stopper too much and ...

This lab includes a demonstration of the proper use of a burette system for titrations; including a detailed description, instructional video, and opportunity for students to collect data to ...

An acid-base indicator is a substance that changes color as the pH of the solution changes. Indicators work because they are weak acids which when in solution, exist in equilibrium with their ...

The acid dissociation constant, K a, and its negative decadic log, pK a, are key life sciences parameters that describe molecular acidity. Specifically, these values indicate the protonation state of ...

Many chemicals can be classified as being acidic, neutral or alkaline by using indicators. The pH scale is used to measure acidity and alkalinity. When an acid is neutralised, it forms a salt. Making ...
