Abstract:
Sevelamer (polyallyamine resin)-supported sulfonic acid (S-SO3H) has been prepared from the reaction of sevelamer with chlorosulfonic acid and characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The catalytic activity of S-SO3H was investigated in the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives. All of the reactions were fast and gave excellent yields. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused for 5 runs without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

Strong Acid and Base Solutions
Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
