The tragic accident, when a restaurant manager in Massachusetts died, was the result of a simple chemical reaction called neutralization. That's when an acid and a base are combined. Unfortunately in ...

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 ...

Two types of acid-base titration stand out: alkalimetry and acidimetry. Each method provides a precise means to measure compounds based on their acid or basic content, depending on the type of the ...

A chemical reaction is when one or more substances change and produce one or more new chemical substances. The substances that are involved in a chemical reaction and that are changed by it are called ...

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 ...

An acid and alkali will neutralise each other and produce a salt and water. This is called a neutralisation reaction. The name of the salt produced can be worked out from the names of the acid and the ...
