Experiment: Determining pH of identical strong and weak solutions Date: 31/10/03 Aim: Plan and perform a first-hand investigation to measure the pH of identical concentrations of strong and weak acids. Equipment: ?é?À Deionised water H2O ?é?À Tartaric Acid C4H6O6 ?é?À Citric Acid C6H8O7 ?é?À Sulfuric Acid H2SO4 ?é?À Acetic Acid CH3COOH ?é?À Hydrochloric Acid HCl ?é?À Ammonium Chloride NH4Cl ?é?À Tap Water H2O ?é?À Nitric Acid HNO3 ?é?À Probe ?é?À Ferric chloride FeCl3 ?é?À Wash bottle ?é?À Sodium Chloride in tap water NaCl ?é?À Beakers ?é?À Sodium Chloride in deionised water NaCl ?é?À Data logger Method: 1 Make sure there...
to be washed thoroughly after each substance was tested or else some residue might be left behind altering the pH of the next substance. Also it was necessary to keep the electrical items used in the experiment away from the solutions so nothing is spilt onto the electrical items.
to be washed thoroughly after each substance was tested or else some residue might be left behind altering the pH of the next substance. Also it was necessary to keep the electrical items used in the experiment away from the solutions so nothing is spilt onto the electrical items.
Risk Assessment: Care must be taken when handling the substances, as some can be harmful. Especially those substances with a low pH level, because if spilt on the skin, irritation may occur or burning.
Conclusion: The pH of identical strong and weak substances was determined by performing a first-hand investigation.

Background An example of a gas would be hydrogen. A chemical property is how a substance changes its identity. An example of this would be being able to support flammability. A physical property distinguises one type of matter from another and can be observed without changing its identity. An example...

LSD is a hallucinogen. In fact, it is the most potent hallucinogen known to man. LSD is 100 times more potent than psilocybin or psylicin and is 4000 times more potent than mescaline. It was synthesized in 1938 by a chemist who worked in Switzerland. There were no benefits for...

Niels Bohr"s model of the hydrogen atom, was the primary reason for the understanding of energy levels.Bohr was able to explain the bright line spectrum of hydrogen. Sparked by the recent discovery of the diffraction patterns, scientists believed electrons could be described as waves. Bohr hypothesized that energy is being...

Chemical reactions are the heart of chemistry. People have always known that they exist. The Ancient Greeks were the firsts to speculate on the composition of matter. They thought that it was possible that individual particles made up matter. Later, in the Seventeenth Century, a German chemist named Georg Ernst...
