Experiment 2&3 Recrystallization and Melting Points Determinantion of Benzoic Acid Abstract In experiment 2‚ recrystallization was used to purify the crude benzoic acid extracted from a mixture during experiment 1. Then a percent recovery for this recrystallization process was calculated. In experiment 3‚ the melting point ranges of the crude and purified benzoic acid were both determined by using Melt Temp Apparatus. Introduction Recrystallization is a purification technique for non-volatile

DISTILLATION- SEPARATION OF A MIXTURE Ronald Ogbu‚ Alex 27th Aug. 2013 Purpose: To separate mixture of acetone and toluene using simple‚ packed and unpacked distillation columns. Results and Discussion: There were three distillation setups: simple‚ unpacked and pack fractional. All three procedures had different distillation apparatus but the unknown mixture was the same for all. The unknown liquid in a 50 ml round bottom flask was heated in a heating mantle such that a

PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY LAB I Experiment 2 Separation Of Mixtures INTRODUCTION A mixture can simply be defined as a substance that is made up or consists of two or more elements and/or compounds that are physically combined but that have not reacted chemically to form new substances. A mixture may be a solid‚ liquid‚ gas‚ or some combination of those states. Mixtures can be found almost every wher in our everyday lifes and some common examples are * sand and water * salt and water

The Separation of Mixtures This lab demonstrates the difficult task of separating mixtures using different types of methods. This study is performed because it helps you understand the concept of separation and certain characteristics of elements. Previous knowledge in which already exists in this lab would be the process of filtration‚ distillation‚ magnetism‚ and evaporation. The specific hypotheses of this experiment was that the iron would separate through magnetism‚ the salt would separate

conduct and taught based upon the primary instruction and introduction to mixtures. With this lab I was able to determine and execute the proper separation of a mixture of solids through various means‚ such as evaporation and filtration. Using these techniques presented the separation of different ingredients from a mixture was conducted based upon the usage of individual physical properties of each substance presented in the mixture. . Observations: Throughout this experiment I noted several things

Separating the components of a Ternary Mixture Introduction Mixtures are usually content of two or more substances. There are two kind of mixtures‚ Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. For Homogeneous mixture we cannot see the individual particles of the components‚ a good example of that will be air‚ cola drink‚ and rubbing alcohol. And for heterogeneous mixture we can see the individual particles of the components‚ a good example of that will be rocks and soil. There are a variety of methods

The 2-naphthol derived Mannich base 1-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)(phenyl)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol (MPN) was synthesized according to the general procedure described in the literatures [13‚ 14]. The 2-naphthol (4.33 g‚ 0.03 mol) was dissolved in 30ml of ethanol and it was mixed with N-methylpiperizine (3.0 mL‚ 0.03 mol) by continuous stirrer at room temperature until a clear solution was obtained. The benzaldehyde (3.0 mL‚ 0.03 mol) was added slowly to this mixture with constant stirring

Separation of Iron‚ Salt and Sand Separating a mixture is an example of a physical change. There are several ways to separate a mixture. The use of one’s hands in pulling the parts of a mixture apart is one example. Filtration is another way to separate mixtures. Filtration is the separation of a heterogeneous (not alike‚ different) mixtures‚ by adding a solvent and passing the resulting mixture through a fine mesh or filter. Evaporation of a homogeneous (alike‚ same) mixture will reveal

RECRYSTALLIZATION AND MELTING POINT DETERMINATION OF BENZOIC ACID ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. How does the use of fluted filter paper hasten filtration? Why is it advisable to place a small piece of wire between the funnel and the mouth of the flask during hot filtration? Fluted filter paper is effective in preventing crystal formation in the filter paper. It is also often used in filtering hot saturated solution used during crystallization. One major advantage of a fluted filter is that it increases
