4.4.4 Markin Bean ChemSketch® Simulation Studies Marvin Bean ChemSketch® is usually employed to study the pKa of drugs and chemical compounds to determine the ionizable functional group within the compound (Uemera et al., 2009; Manchester et al., 2010). In this study, the Marvin Bean ChemSketch® software was applied for the first time to study the microspecies distribution of TSPP, acetate and citrate at pH range 0-14. As mentioned earlier, the observed optical changes were most likely due to conformational changes in the porphyrin macrocycle which resulted from the protonation and deprotonation processes. The TSPP porphyrin can be easily protonated and deprotonated with the presence of ions when the medium pH was close to its pKa. By studying …show more content…
This implied that the amount of TSPP with a charge of 2 in the solution was decreased, while the amount of TSPP with a charge of –4 was increased. Hence, it can be inferred that upon the addition of acetate or citrate ion, the pH of the TSPP solution was increased. Consequently, the –2 charged TSPP was converted to one with a charge of –4 which resulted in the blue shift and the decrease of the Soret band. This inference was well supported by the acetate and citrate ions microspecies distributions predicted by Marvin Bean ChemSketch®. Figure 4.22 showed the predicted microspecies distribution of acetate at pH 0-14. The pKa value of acetate ion calculated by Marvin Bean ChemSketch® is 4.75. In the pH 4 TSPP solution, the negatively charged citrate ion was dominant. This –1 charged species reacts with the free H+ ions in the pH 4 TSPP solution to form CH3COOH (aq) (Equation 4.1). When more the acetate was added into the solution, the free H+ ions consumption correspondingly increased. The decrease of H+ ions increased the pH of the solution which consequently led to the deprotonation of TSPP. Eventually, the changes
5. Question 5: a) As mentioned in the manual, we have the ratio (K/H+ ), if H+ was lower than K then the equivalent point will be achieved and it will change color. And if H+ was more than K then the solution we are titrating will be the same, the equivalent point won’t be achieved, and it will be acidic solution. And to find the value of H+ is by having the value of pH, therefore the pH has changed from 7 to 9, which is by shifting from 10-7 to 10 -8 by adding the 0.01 of the base, and it will shift again from 10 -8 to 10 -9 by adding another 0.01 of the base to the solution , the different that’s added between the two shifting are close to each other which indicates that the
Hypothesis: If one-day pinto bean seedlings are soaked in a water solution, 1% NaCl solution, and 3% NaCl solution, the seedlings exposed to higher sodium concentrations will have decreased cellular respiration rates. Treatments: This experiment involved three treatments and a control. The goal of the experiment was to see how different levels of NaCl affect the rates of cellular respiration in day-old pinto bean seedlings.
In the first part of the experiment, Part A, the standard solutions were prepared. As a whole, the experiment was conducted by four people, however, for Part A, the group was split in two to prepare the two different solutions. Calibrations curves were created for the standard solutions of both Red 40 and Blue 1. Each solution was treated with a serial 2-fold dilution to gain different concentrations of each solution.

Only until something dramatic occurs do we remain forever changed. Psychological studies show that it takes significant misfortunes like a major tragedy in one's life to change personalities. PsycNet says, “The individual is likely to meet his world in terms of the personality structure which is already formed. This does not imply that changes do not occur, but they are more likely to occur at times when the individual is faced with conflicts, since stresses often necessitate the development of new modes of behavior in meeting one's environment.” The creation says, “ I am malicious because I am miserable” (104).

Light, Fragile, and Easily Influenced A young college student’s mind is easily influenced, partially due to a lack of resistance toward outside forces. In the poem “Snapping Beans” by Lisa Parker, the same can be said for the hickory leaf when influenced by the wind. The leaf is the most prevalent symbol in the story. It is an integral piece to the theme of change as one transitions from childhood to the responsibilities of being an adult.
Change is something that everyone and everything goes through. Changes could be good, or they could be bad. It all depends on how you view the world, and the people you surround yourself with. Scrooge, a character in the story: A Christmas Carol, goes through a change throughout the story, it takes a while, but by the end of the story, Scrooge goes from a miser, to the most cheerful, charitable, and generous person the town has ever known and it all happened in one night.
Andy Warhol once said, “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself”. Change is affected by time and by people in different ways. A negative change can ultimately have a positive outcome. Change is not always bad, but in order for it to be good you need to make it good. Change occurs all the time, and it happens to everyone at one point in his or her life.
Strong acids and strong bases are strong electrolytes and are assumed to ionize completely in the presence of water. Weak acids however, only ionize to a limited extend in water. Any weak or strong acids when in contact with any weak or strong alkali will start to undergo neutralization regardless of their volume. When an indicator which is present in the acid-base mixture and have experienced colour change, it indicates that the mixture is in right proportions to neutralize each other and is also known as the equivalence point.
