Strong base is added to three different buffers and water and the effect on pH is observed.

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-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 ...

Acid-base balance refers to the levels of acidity and alkalinity your blood needs in order to keep your body functioning. Too much acid in the blood is known as acidosis, while too much alkalinity is ...

Internal acid–base homeostasis is fundamental for maintaining life. Accurate and timely interpretation of an acid–base disorder can be lifesaving, but the establishment of a correct diagnosis may be ...

Blood is naturally slightly alkaline or basic. Here’s what that means. The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline — basic — something is. Your body works constantly to carefully control pH levels of ...
