    I. Introduction

    When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base

    properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of thebase to form water. 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 commontable salt, NaCl

    Combustion of any organic acid consist of C, H, and O will produce :

    CxHyOz + O2 CO2 + H2O

    II. Theory or Fundamental Principles

    Gastritis

    Gastritis is an inflammation, irritation, or erosion of the lining of the stomach. It can

    occur suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic). It is caused by many factors such as :

    1. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori): A bacteria that lives in the mucous lining of the

    stomach. Without treatment the infection can lead to ulcers, and in some people

    would be stomach cancer

    2. Pernicious anemia: A form of anemia that occurs when the stomach lacks a

    naturally occurring substance needed to properly absorb and digest vitamin B12.3. Bile reflux: A backflow of bile into the stomach from the bile tract (that connects

    to the liver and gallbladder).

    4. Infections caused by bacteria and viruses.

    Such disease could be detected by many symptom such as vomiting, nausea, abdominal

    disease, headache and many more. There are also some methods on detecting gastritis in some

    ways :

    1. Upper endoscopy. An endoscope, a thin tube containing a tiny camera, is

    inserted through your mouth and down into your stomach to look at the stomachlining. The doctor will check for inflammation and may perform a biopsy, a

    procedure in which a tiny sample of tissue is removed and then sent to a

    laboratory for analysis.

    2. Blood tests. The doctor may perform various blood tests such as checking your

    red blood cell count to determine whether you have anemia, which means that you

    do not have enough red blood cells. He or she can also screen for H. pylori

    infection and pernicious anemia with blood tests.

    3. Fecal occult blood test (stool test). This test checks for the presence of blood in

    your stool, a possible sign of gastritis.

    pH of Stomach

    Your stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, but the pH of your stomach isn't necessarily the

    same as the pH of the acid! The pH of your stomach varies, from 1-2 up to 4-5. When you eat,the stomach releases proteases and hydrochloric acid to aid in digestion. By itself, the aciddoesn't really do much for digestion, but the proteases that cleave proteins work best in an acidic

    environment or low pH, so after a high-protein meal, your stomach pH may drop to as low as 1

    or 2. However, buffers quickly raise the pH back to 3 or 4. After the meal has been digested,your stomach pH returns to a resting level of about 4 or 5. Your stomach secretes acid in

    response to food, so first thing in the morning you can expect a slightly acidic stomach pH, but

    not an acidic level representative of pure hydrochloric acid.

    Antacid

    Antacids are a type of medication that can control the acid levels in your stomach.

    They are available over the counter from pharmacies and are commonly used to treat the

    symptoms ofheartburn and indigestion. It works by neutralizing the acid in the stomach to aid

    digestion. Some antacids also coat the surface of the oesophagus (gullet) with a protective

    barrier against stomach acid or produce a gel on the stomachs surface which helps stop acid

    leaking into the oesophagus.

    There are some types of antacids that are sold commercially in drug store :

    Acid-Bases Reaction and Properties

    Substances have long been classified as acids orbases according to some general

    properties which are summarized below. Theirreactions with each other produce salts

    Acid-bases reactions combine could neutralize either acid or bases. In case of strong acid,

    it should be reacted with the strong bases and vice versa. So, the reaction called as a

    neutralization reaction.

    Acid Properties:

    When dissolved in water, acids

    1. Conduct electricity2. Change blue litmus to red3. Have a sour taste4. React with bases to neutralizetheir properties

    5. React with active metals to

    liberate hydrogen.

    Besides, acid is a compound that dissolve in water water to produce solutions containing

    hydronium ions, H3O+

    (aq), and bases dissolve in water to produce hydroxide ions, HO-

    (aq). When an acidic solution and a basic solution are mixed, hydroxide ions react with

    hydronium ions to produce water molecules:

    H3O+

    (aq) + HO-(aq)

    2 H2O

    or H+

    (aq) + HO(aq) H2O

    Abbreviating the hydronium ion as H+

    (aq) makes it easier to count the water molecules

    produced. Below are the reaction between Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide :

    But, neutralization sometimes could left some residue which is known as salts. Ingeneral, the term salt refers to any ionic compound that could be produced by a neutralization

    reaction. Salts contain metal cations, and anions that may be monatomic (like chloride) or

    polyatomic anions derived from oxyacids. The formula of a salt can be predicted from theknown charges of the cation and anion as we have seen previously for binary ionic

    compounds. Sodium sulfate, for example, has the formula Na2SO4. When a formula includes

    more than one polyatomic ion, it is enclosed in parentheses with a subscript to indicate the

    relative number of ions. Magnesium nitrate is Mg(NO3)2. There are two nitrate ions (charge 1-

    each) for every Mg

    2+

    ion. When necessary, we include the charge on the cation as part of thename. Mercury(II) acetate is Hg(C2H3O2)2.

    Some salts form crystalline solids which include some water molecules as part of the

    structure. Such salts are called hydrates, and we include the water molecules in the formula

    using a dot and a coefficient. For example, copper(II) sulfate forms blue crystals with five watermolecules per formula unit, so the formula is CuSO4

    .5H2O. Hydrates can be dried by strong

    heating, which drives the water molecules out of the crystal. Below is the example of equation :

    HCl (g) H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)

    NaOH (s)Na

    +(aq) + OH

    HBr + NaOH NaBr + H2O ( salt : NaBr)

    HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O ( salt : NaCl)

    Strong Acid

    Using the formula above, it is very easy to calculate the pH of a strong acid. Virtuallybecause 100% is ionized with the solution, each mole of the strong acids reacts with the solution.

    For example 0.1 M of Hydrochloric Acid will be dissolved in water. HCl reacts with water togive 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of chloride ions. Which means, if the concentration of

    acid is 0.1 M then the concentration of hydrogen ions is also 0.1 M. Therefore,

    log [0.1] = -1

    pH HCl = -log [0.1]

    -(-1) = 1Then, the pH of the acid is 1.

    Examples of Strong Acids:

    HCl - hydrochloric acid

    HNO3 - nitric acid

    H2SO4 - sulfuric acid

    HBr - hydrobromic acid

    HI - hydroiodic acid

    HClO4 - perchloric acid

    Weak Acid

    A weak acid is an acid which doesn't ionize fully with the solution. For example ethanoicacid is an example of weak acid. It reacts with water to produce hydroxonium ions and ethanoate

    ions, but the reverse reaction is more successful than the forward one.

    At times, only 1% of the ethanoic acid molecules have converted into ions and the rest of

    it will remain as ethanoic acid. To calculate the pH of a weak acids, is to calculate the

    dissociation of an acid in the reaction and could be expressed as the equilibrium constant, Ka.For example,

    The Ka of this reaction is as follows,

    Here are the list of Ka of some basic acids. Note that the smaller the Ka, the weaker the acid.

    And he higher the Ka the acid will be stronger.

    acid Ka (mol dm- )hydrofluoric acid 5.6 x 10- methanoic acid 1.6 x 10- ethanoic acid 1.7 x 10- hydrogen sulphide 8.9 x 10-

    After finding the Ka of the solution, we are ought to find the pKa of the solution. Andunlike Ka who has units (mol dm

    -3), pKa doesn't. pKa bears exactly the same relationship to Ka

    as pH with Hydrogen ion, it's formula is :

    pKa = -log [Ka]

    Acid Ka (mol dm- ) pKahydrofluoric acid 5.6 x 10- 3.3methanoic acid 1.6 x 10- 3.8ethanoic acid 1.7 x 10- 4.8hydrogen sulphide 8.9 x 10- 7.1

    By calculating the pKa of the Ka given above, we can see the trends of the pKa. As the

    pKa get lower, the acid will be stronger, and if the pKa gets higher, the acid will be weaker.

    Below are some examples of weak acids :

    Organic Acid

    Organic acid is an organic compound with acidic properties and the most commonorganic acid is carboxylic acids which is associated with their carboxyl group -COOH. Sulfonic

    acids containing the group SO2OH which is relatively a stronger acid. A few common examples

    of organic acids are lactic acid, acetic acid, formic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, and uric acid. Ingeneral, organic acids are weak acids and do not ionize completely in a solution unlike strongacids do. On the other hand, organic acids are very soluble in organic solvents. Here are the

    molecular structure of organic acid :

    Combustion Analysis

    The combustion includes a sample of unknown substance which is burn in a large excess

    of oxygen gas. The combustion products will be trapped separately from each other and the

    weight of each combustion product will be determined. From this, you will be able to calculate

    the empirical formula of the substance. This technique has been most often applied to organic

    compounds.

  • 7/27/2019 Acid-Bases and Combustion

    9/16

    Here are some points to make combustion analysis :

    1) The elements making up the unknown substance almost always include carbon and hydrogen.Oxygen is often involved and nitrogen is involved sometimes. Other elements can be involved,

    but problems with C and H tend to predominate followed by C, H and O and then by C, H, O andN.

    2) We must know the mass of the unknown substance before burning it.

    3) All the carbon in the sample winds up as CO2 and all the hydrogen in the sample winds up as

    H2O.

    4) If oxygen is part of the unknown compound, then its oxygen winds up incorporated into the

    oxides. The mass of oxygen in the sample will almost always be determined by subtraction.

    5) Often the N is determined via a second experiment and this introduces a bit of complexity tothe problem. Nitrogen dioxide is the usual product when nitrogen is involved. Sometimes thenitrogen product is N2, sometimes NH3.

    This is the example of explaining the example of combustion analysis :

    Dianabol is one of the anabolic steroids that has been used by some athletes to

    increase the size and strength of their muscles. It is similar to the male hormone

    testosterone. Some studies indicate that the desired effects of the drug are minimal, and

    the side effects, which include sterility and increased risk of liver cancer and heart

    disease, keep most people from using it. The molecular formula of Dianabol, which

    consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, can be determined using the data from two

    different experiments. In the first experiment, 14.765 g of Dianabol is burned, and

    43.257 g CO2 and 12.395 g H2O are formed. In the second experiment, the molecular

    mass of Dianabol is found to be 300.44. What is the molecular formula for Dianabol?

    SOLUTION

    Oxalic Acid

    Oxalic acid is an organic acid. Despite its toxic nature, oxalic acid enjoys a variety of

    uses in industry, primarily as a purifying agent in the pharmaceutical industry, a precipitatingagent in rare-earth metal processing, a bleaching agent in various industries, a grinding agent and

    a rust-removal chemical. It is found mostly in the rhubarbs area of the plants or in the dark greenleaves that is harmless.

    Its structure formula is C2H2O4 and at the ends of the structure has a COOH bonds.

    Because it has 2 carboxylic bonds, so it could be defined that the oxalic acid is one of the

    strongest organic acid. Below is the diagram of C2H2O4 structure :

  • 7/27/2019 Acid-Bases and Combustion

    11/16

    Physically, Oxalic acid is a white and crystalline substance. For every molecule

    of oxalic acid, two more molecules of water are present in the crystal lattice. Solid oxalic

    acid melts at 101-102 degrees Celsius and boils at 149-160 degrees Celsius. It is 1.6 - 1.7

    times as dense as water at room temperature and highly water-soluble; roughly 1 gram

    can dissolve in 7 mL of water.

    Although it is very pure and white physically, but chemically oxalic acid is highly known

    as dangerous and strong acid. Oxalic acid in solution is highly corrosive. The oxalate ions, when

    divested of their hydrogen ions, can act as what are called bidentate ligands, meaning they bindto a metal ion in two places, so they can form complexes with metal ions. Many of the salts they

    form with metals are insoluble. Kidney stones, for example, are often composed of calcium

    oxalate. Oxalic acid can react violently with strong oxidizing agents and silver compounds, so itshould not be used in conjunction with these chemicals.

    III. Questions

    1. If you are Sari and Dini, what information will you get about this matter?

    They will find out that gastritis symptoms are causing nausea and abdominal pain for the

    sufferer and antacid is one of the cure for gastritis usually packed in a tablet and sold

    commercially in the drug store. The antacid cure gastritis by neutralizing the enzyme,Hydrochloric acid, inside the stomach which causing infection. Gastritis would be occurred

    also from too much medication using pain killer. At this case, Sari, who had gotten motor

    accident, using the pain killer three times a day to cure her pain ankle and cold be indicatedto trigger the gastritis disease.

    2. Do you know about the pH condition of a stomach?

    Normally, the pH condition of a stomach should be between 3-5 but some people says

    around 2 too. It is affected by the amount of food go through the digestion system. Whenmore food store inside, the stomach will automatically set the best environment to help the

    digestion system to its optimum work rate.

    3. How antacids could help gastritis sufferer?

  • 7/27/2019 Acid-Bases and Combustion

    12/16

    As it has been stated above, the antacids will neutralize too acid environment inside the

    stomach which is caused by Hydrochloric acid. So, the substance inside the antacids are

    bases in many types such as Aluminium and Potassium which bond with Hydroxide. Beloware some reaction between the antacids and Hydrochloric acid :

    Al(OH)3(s) + 3 HCl(aq) -----> AlCl3(aq) + 3 H2O(l)Mg(OH)2(s) + 2 HCl(aq) -----> MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

    4. You read from the label on the bottle of mylanta, it contains Aluminum hydroxide 1000

    mg and Magnesium hydroxide 1000 mg for each 5 ml solutions. Can you make a

    prediction of what chemical reactions occur in Sari's stomach?

    Reaction of Magnesium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid:Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + 2H2O

    Reaction of Aluminum hydroxide with hydrochloric acid:Al(OH)2 + 2HCl -> AlCl2 + 2H2O

    5. You have HCl and CH3COOH 0.05 M and 50 ml each mixed with KOH 0.1 M 20 ml.

    Calculate the reaction and its pH.

    HCl (aq) + KOH (aq) KCl (s) + H2O (l) (1)

    CH3COOH (aq) + KOH (aq) KCH3COO (s) + H2O (l) (2)

    For (1), it is a neutralizing reaction because HCl is a strong acid and KOH also a strong

    bases. So, the pH of KCl should be around 7 ( neutral condition)

    For (2), we will find out that Ka of KCH3COO is 1.8 x 10-5

    and therefore lets count out

    with limiting reaction

    CH3COOH (aq) + KOH (aq) KCH3COO (s) + H2O (l)

    2.5 mmol 2 mmol - -

    2 mmol 2 mmol 2 mmol 2 mmol0.5 mmol - 2 mmol 2 mmol

    Then by using the formula (CH3COOH is a base salt) we would find the pOH

    OH- = Ka x CH3COOH/ CH3COOH

    = 1.8 x 10-5

    x 0.25

    = 4.5 x 10-6

    So pOH = 6log 4.5

    And the pH would be 8 + log 4.5 or around 8.653

    13/16

    6. How do you explain the differences between weak acids and strong acids?

    And how to calculate it's pH?

    Strong acid is an acid whose atoms ionized completely into the solution, while weak acid

    doesn't ionize completely. The lower the pH of an acid will show that the acid is stronger and

    the higher the pH it will become weaker and weaker.

    To calculate the pH of a strong acid, we can use this formula:

    And to calculate the pH of a weak acid, we could calculate the pKa of the acid by the acidconstant (Ka) which should be already known. We can find the pKa by using:

    pKa = -log [Ka]

    We can identify that the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid, and vice versa.

    7. Do you think Sari could calculate the minimum of sodium carbonate she could spill toneutralize the sulfuric acid?

    Sodium bicarbonate = NaHCO3Sulfuric acid = H2SO4 50ml 0.5M =0.025 mol

    group attached to one atom. Carboxyl groups frequently ionized, releasing Hydrogen atom

    from the carboxyl groups as a free proton and the proton will switch back and forth on both

    negatively charged oxygen atom.

    10.Properties of oxalic acid and the reaction

    Physically, Oxalic acid is a white and crystalline substance. For every molecule of oxalicacid, two more molecules of water are present in the crystal lattice. Solid oxalic acid melts at

    101-102 degrees Celsius and boils at 149-160 degrees Celsius. It is 1.6 - 1.7 times as dense aswater at room temperature and highly water-soluble; roughly 1 gram can dissolve in 7 mL of

    water.
