Introduction Water is necessary to life but it can be unhealthy too. In general‚ the water quality is poor in developing countries like Kenya. Water is a vector of diseases like yellow fever‚ diarrhea… Water purification is very important in these countries but people don’t have a lot of time to spare‚ they work or they are in the field and in general women must spend a significant amount of time walking to collect water. So we need to find a quick‚ easy‚ and economic solution that is as simple

Paper chromatography is an important separation technique that depends upon differences in how strongly the dyes are adsorbed onto the paper (stationary phase) and how soluble the dyes are in the developing solvent (mobile phase). In paper chromatography‚ a small amount of the mixture to be separated is placed close to the edge of a piece of paper. The edge of the paper is then immersed in a developing solution. As the developing solution ascends up the paper by capillary action‚ the. components

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this experiment was to extract plant leaf pigments and determining them by using the Rf values obtained from the paper chromatography technique. The hypothesis of the experiment was that all of the five listed pigments would be present in the extracted plant leaf according to the Rf values. PROCEDURE/APPARATUS: The equipments used were a 18 x 150 mm test tube with stopper‚ graduated cylinders‚ Erlenmeyer flask‚ mortar and pestle‚ metric ruler‚ tall jar‚ acetone‚ tiny

Title:The Chromatography Process of Expo Markers Abstract:This experiment is to uncover whether or not the Expo Markers are homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures. The experiment will conduct filter paper being slightly submerged in a container of water and inspected for pigmentation changes. In the experiment the pigments will rise up the filter paper once exposed to the water (solvent). After the experiment‚ it concludes that the mixture is a homogeneous mixture due to the chemical

activity‚ total amount of protein‚ and percent yield and an increasing trend for specific activity and fold purification. These trends come about naturally when performing multiple purification steps. To determine the success of each purification step‚ the more important factors to look at are the total activity units‚ total protein amount‚ and percent yield. Looking at our purification table (table 7) our purifications were not very successful. While our total protein followed the normal decreasing

“Solar Treated Purification” Intorduction: A. Background of the study: In our world today‚ purified water is the one that most of the people drink everyday especially those who live in cities. Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals‚ biological contaminants‚ suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water)‚ but water purification may also be designed

Purification of solids Aim: To separate a mixture of carboxylic acid and a neutral substance by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide and purifying the carboxylic acid‚ measuring the melting points of the neutral and the acid components. METHOD: A mixture of( 5g) Carboxylic acid and neutral compound were separated by adding 2 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide (25cm3) to the mixture‚ which separated the water soluble sodium from the water insoluble neutral component‚ by filtration. The solid at the

Protein SCI/241 Protein A protein are organic compounds that made up of amino acids and are the building blocks of the cells in the body. Every cell in the body requires proteins to grow and repair themselves so these proteins are necessary for a healthy body and survival. Having so much protein can hurt your body so when you consume so much can get you sick and the right size of protein can keep you from getting sick. They’re five types of protein in everything that we eat. The largest class
