The purpose of the pH determination laboratory experiment is to identify the acidity of the
solution. There will be unknown samples of liquid solutions to be given and the pH of which will
be measured physically using a litmus paper, quantitatively using a pH meter, and
computatively by solving the H+ (hydronium ion) and/or OH- (hydroxide ion) concentrations.
 The pH level of a substance tells you whether it is acidic, alkaline, or neutral. The pH scale
goes from 1-14. 1 to 6 measure how acidic a substance is, 1 being very acidic and 6 being
not very. 7 is nuetral, like water, and 8-14 is alkaline, 8 being not very alkaline and 14 being
very alkaline. By knowing the pH you know whether it is an acid or an alkaline.

Sorry if you knew all that already, just wanted to help!

pH tells you the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. Substances that are acidic have a surplus of ionized
hydrogen in them, while substances that are basic (alkalines) have a surplus of ionized hydroxide in
them. The pH of a substance is equal to the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of ionized
hydrogens (that is, the number of H+ per mole of substance). This means that acidic substances will have
a low pH, while basic substances will have a high pH. Water, which is neutral, has a pH of 7. In general, 0
and 14 are considered the limits of the scale.

The role of free fatty acids (FFAs) as a source of energy and their functions in energy transport
within the body are well established. Equally important is a role that FFAs play in oxidative
stress following cell membrane depolarization. FFAs are physiologically active, not only as
nutritional components, but also as molecules involved in cell signaling and stabilization of
membranes via palmitoylation and myristoylation. Protein palmitoylation is involved in
numerous cellular processes, including apoptosis, and neuronal transmission. Besides nuclear
peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors that mediate the biological effects of FFAs, G
protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by FFA, have been recently identified.
Those multiple FFA receptors (FFARs), which function on the cell surface as activated FFAs,
play significant roles in the regulation of energy metabolism and mediate a wide range of
important metabolic processes. FFARs have been targeted in drug development for the
treatment of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. FFAs upregulate transcription of
uncoupling proteins, increasing their expression in brain, cardiac, and skeletal muscle that
may be protective or cytotoxic, depending on the cellular energy state. Recently, FFA effects
on the endothelial function and dysfunction are being recognized. FFAs play a key role in
endothelium-dependent nitric oxide production. A disturbance of endothelial function, due to
an imbalance in production and release of relaxing and constricting factors, has implications
in the development of cardiovascular problems, such as hypertension, as well as neurotoxicity
following loss of blood-brain barrier integrity. This review presents information on broad range
of FFAs actions of prime importance for physiological processes. Understanding of FFA
functions in the body is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies against several
metabolic disorders.
