AP Chemistry Lab 2: Analysis of Alum Lab Objective: In this lab we will analyze alum by two techniques in order to verify its identity. The melting point and the mole ratio of hydrated water to anhydrous aluminum potassium sulfate will be determined. Lab Procedure: 1. Use a mortar and pestle to crush alum. 2. Pack the alum in capillary tube‚ and then fasten it to the thermometer. 3. Fasten the thermometer to the ring stand. 4. Immerse the bottom of the

Analysis of Alum‚ AlK(SO4)2・12 H2O Partner: Cindy Date: Sep 15‚ 2011 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to verify the identity of the alum by finding the properties of the substance; melting point and mole ratio of the water to the anhydrous. Every substance has unique characteristics which help to determine the identity of it. The actual values of the properties can be compared to the experimental values. In real life‚ this can be used to determine the unknown medicines. Hypothesis:

Emission Spectroscopy Lab Introduction: According to the Bohr atomic model‚ electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths with specific energies. Each path is therefore often referred to as an “energy level”. Electrons possessing the lowest energy are found in the levels closest to the nucleus. Electrons of higher energy are located in progressively more distant energy levels. If an electron absorbs sufficient energy to bridge the “gap” between energy levels‚ the electron may jump to a higher

Analysis of Alum The objective of this lab is to run tests on a compound and analyze the substance itself‚ and then determine whether or not the compound is actually alum. Jill Cline Period 3 November 19‚ 2013 Laurel Hergenroeder and Sarinah Martelli Introduction/Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to run various tests on the substance called alum.

Analysis of Alum AlK(SO4 )2 . 12H2O AP Chemistry Lab # 5 INTRODUCTION Every compound has a unique set of chemical and physical properties. To identify a compound with certainty‚ experiments have to be conducted in order to verify these properties. Such kind of analysis is usually performed when a compound is synthesized‚ and whether the compound is indeed the compound desired needs to be ascertained. The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze alum‚ AlK( SO4

Alum Lab Conclusion The purpose of this laboratory was to use two different techniques to attempt to identify the melting point and the mole ratio of hydrated water to anhydrous aluminum‚ potassium‚ and sulfate of AlKSO4. The hypotheses were: if the alum was put in a capillary tube the melting point of alum will be able to be determined; and the water of hydration in alum crystals will be possible to determine if the alum is heated with a Bunsen burner.
