Air Force Base

the US Air Force. On the August 20th 1963 we left Connellsville for Lackland Airforce Base in Antonio TX for basic training. He and I ended up spending some of the hottest months of the year in Texas. I can still remember getting off the airplane in San Antonio at 3 AM and being shocked at the heat and humidity (~85 degrees). After our twelve weeks of basic training at Lackland we graduated and John and I went our separate ways. He headed to aircraft electronics school at Keesler Air Force base…

Determining Value for Money of Different Brands of Vinegar Aim – To compare the amount of acetic acid found in two different brands of vinegar to see which is the most cost effective. Materials – • Apron • Safety Glasses • Hair Tie (If appropriate) • 50mL burette • 250mL conical flask • 2 x Beaker • Measuring Cylinder • Labels • Pencil • Standard solution of Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH(aq) • Two different brands of vinegar • Phenolphthalein Indicator • A clean white tile • Distilled water • Retort…

Introduction: Acids and bases are often described using the Bronsted-Lowry theory which states that acids are proton donors, while bases are proton acceptors (Thorne, 78). This means that an acid has additional H+ ion(s) that can be given, whereas a base lacks these ions and will accept them. Acids and bases can further classified as strong or weak. A weak acid, such as HF, will not ionize completely, meaning that only some of the H+ ions will be lost. A strong acid will however, will release…

on Schiff base ligand L and its metal(II) complexes were studied. The results showed that the optimal solvent for Schiff base ligand L, Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were CH3CN at λemi =320, 310, 316 and 330 nm, while the optimal solvent for Mn(II) complex was DMF λemi = 312 nm, as shown in Figure 7. The effect pH on the fluorescence intensity of Schiff base ligand L and its metal(II) complexes were investigated between the pH range of 2.010.0. The influence of pH on Schiff base ligand L,…

standards of continuity in some plants makes it possible that most of the sulphur dioxide produced is transformed to sulphuric acid and recuperated, but small fumes of sulphur dioxide are always released into the atmosphere putting in danger the ambient air quality and hence must be checked intermittently This check involve constant monitoring of the production process and emission. For the monitoring of sulphur dioxide, emission monitoring equipment should be installed, monitoring reports…

ways. It is important and useful to know all the different types of reactions because they often refer the reactions as being of one type or another. The first reaction is Acid-base (Neutralization) Reaction. A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and base are mixed together. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt. The combination of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide produces common table salt. An example is…

Introduction: Kidney stones are an extremely basic urinary issue. Also known as renal calculi, kidney stones are characterized by their high occurrence and a high repeat rate. This issue results from the arrangement of insoluble salt stores in the urinary tract and inside the kidney. The rate of this issue has expanded in the course of recent years for reasons that are not entirely known, but have caught the consideration of numerous scientists. There are different types of kidney stones, each…

water, which is made of hydrogen and oxygen, the hydrogen in the water can make a solution into an acid or a base. How do you tell if something is an acid or a base? You use a chemical called an indicator, which changes in color when it goes from an acidic to basic. There are many different types of indicators, some are liquids and some are concentrated…

Project 3 Identification and Synthesis of an Unknown Ionic Compound Mitchell Morgan CEM-161-007 Josh Ward 28th October 2015 Abstract The chief objective of this experiment was to identify the unknown compound. The following tests were conducted to eventually establish the identity of the compounded: qualitative solubility tests, anion and cation tests, flame test, and the formation of a precipitate. The physical properties of the unknown ionic compound found that it has no smell and was…
