An acid (from the Latin acidus meaning sour) is traditionally considered any chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a hydrogen ion activity greater than in pure water, i.e. a pH less than 7.0. That approximates the modern definition of Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and Martin Lowry, who independently defined an acid as a compound which donates a hydrogen ion (H) to another compound (called a base). Common examples include acetic acid (in vinegar) and sulfuric acid (used in car batteries). Acid/base systems are different from redox reactions in that there is no change in oxidation state. Acids can occur in solid, liquid or gaseous form, depending on the temperature. They can exist as pure substances or in solution.

Chemicals or substances having the property of an acid are said to be acidic (adjective).

When titrating acids and bases, why do you rinse the pipette with acid solution before titration?
Q. Before you but the acid that you are using for the titration, you first rinse with water for obvious reasons, then you rinse with an acid acid solution (or the same acid solution that you are using? I don't know). So why would you do this?? I had to do this for an experiment I conducted in class, the instructions said to do this. I am not sure of the reasoning behind it.
Asked by Islander - Sat May 30 00:45:26 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You usually rinse the BURETTE. But in either case, it is to make sure no water is left in the apparatus which wd dilute your titration, giving you an erroneous result. If the pipet is wet, rinse it with the sample being tested. If the burette is wet, rinse it with the titrant. That will result in only sample being titrated with the only titrant, both at full strength.

How long does it take for acid reflux in babies to go away?
Q. My 2 month old baby has acid reflux. He is on Prevacid and Mylanta. I burp him and hold him upright for 30 mins after each meal. Question for all parents whose babies have had acid reflux: How long did it take for your babies to get rid off their acid reflux ?
Asked by Neel's mommy - Sun Mar 16 16:43:36 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. My son has acid reflux... He also has tracheomalacia (weakened trachea) He was on hypoallergenic formula... I didnt put him on zantac or prevacid or anything like that... the dr did suggest putting some cereal in the bottles, but I didnt want to do that either.. He is 6 months old now and is pretty much done with the whole acid reflux thing... He spits up sometimes, but not like he used to. We switched him back over to milk based formula when he started solids (around 5 months) and he has been good ever since. I think it is really a baby by baby thing... each baby just has to grow out of it on their own. Good luck.

What is the difference between the acid fat hydrolysis test and the petroleum ether extract test?
Q. Typically, foods are tested for fat levels but different testing methods can give very different results. For example, I saw the results for fat that were tested by acid hydrolysis and petroleum ether extract and noticed about a 10 fold difference. The acid hydrolysis test showed a fat level of about 10%. Where the petroluem ether extract test showed a level of about 1%. Does this have something to do with testing for total fat versus free fat? Thanks for the help!
Asked by zipman - Wed May 21 12:53:37 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hydrolysis will detect only esters, triglycerides and phospholipids. Extraction will only pick up free fat.
