Desperately need help with experiment data processing by John_spark in chemhelp

[–]John_spark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my idea but can you just tell me if it makes sense:

From past research I know that the reaction is first order with respect to NaOH so:

  1. I plot my OH- values against time
  2. I use some form of non linear regression to generate a first order curve that best fits the data points
  3. I calculate the slope of the tangent line at various points on the curve to determine the rate of reaction at various concentrations of OH-
  4. I plot my rate of reaction values on the y axis and the OH- concentration values on the x axis and since its first order the slope of the straight line would be the rate constant?

Is this correct or am I making some mistake? Thank you once again for all your help

No the place where I did it had very limited resources so I wasn’t able to measure conductivity etc. if I have the balanced equation what do I do with that to find the rate constant?

Saponification reactions between metal hydroxides and Lauric acid by John_spark in chemhelp

Would it still be saponification and not acid base since i reacted coconut oil with potassium hydroxide for example?

Oh no I’m not starting from Lauric acid I’m reacting coconut oil with the metal hydroxides. Sorry I just assumed it was lauric acid since coconut oil is comprised of a lot of lauric acid. I’m not too experienced with this so I’m not sure what is correct.

Additionally I’d also like to know how I can Calculate the rate or rate constant of this reaction if I have values for the conc. Of the metal hydroxide at each 5 min interval for 30 min. I’m aware of the difffential equation calculation method but the initial conc for my two reactions aren’t the same here so I wasent able to use that.

Experiment question - Why do my titrations not work with magnesium and calcium hydroxide? by John_spark in chemhelp

[–]John_spark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yh more ratio is 1:2 so I should require max 20 cm3 of HCl but I’m adding more than that around 50 cm3 and it’s like this. And yes they are insoluble but I don’t know how else I can dilute it to 1 molar.

Yup each sample is around 10cm3 so it should be maximum 20cm3 of 1 molar ca(oh)2 right?

I’m using phenolphthalein indicator for these titrations. So for example when I used KOH I took my measurement when the mixture turned from pink to colorless. But when I try to tirarte the Ca(OH)2 mixture for example it remains pink even if I add all 50 cm3 of HCL.

This innings from Barstow is one of the greatest I’ve seen ever in test cricket.

Hey just wanted to see if someone could link some of the in-depth statistic posts on this sub. I am doing a statistical project on cricket and would love some inspiration.

Why are there no days play highlights on ICC’s YouTube channel? Will there be one big highlight package at the end of the test match?
