Written report discussing the purity of my aspirin sample I produced. When I carried out the experiment to produce an aspirin sample I had to take a few results I had gained from carrying out the experiment later used these to work out the experimental error and percentage % yield. The results I used where the published value of what temperature pure aspirin melts at‚ the temperature my aspirin sample melted at‚ the weight of pure aspirin and the weight of impure aspirin. Firstly I worked out the

Experiment 7a Name: Date: Title: Purity of Aspirin by Spectrophotometry Aim: i. To measure the absorbance of different volumes of sodium salicylate solutions and aspirin with iron chloride ii. To find the concentration of each standard solutions iii. To determine percentage purity of aspirin. Abstract: The mass of acetylsalicylic acid was determined using a analytical balance. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added to the acetylsalicylic acid and heated in order to hydrolyze acetylsalicylic

Paper Chromatography Chromatography comes from the Greek word khromatos (color) and graphein (to write); i.e. paper chromatography is literally color writing on paper. This method tests the purity of compounds and identifies substances. This analytical process‚ despite having been replaced by the success of thin layer chromatography‚ still stands as a valuable teaching tool‚ and is nevertheless very common. This method is very useful because not only is it a relatively quick process‚ but also

Analysis of Food Colorings by Paper Chromatography Introduction Paper Chromatography one method for testing the purity of compounds and identifying substances. This is a useful technique because it is relatively quick and requires small quantities of material. Separations in paper chromatography involve the same principles as those in thin layer chromatography. The substances are distributed between a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The stationary phase is usually

Chromatography Abstract Paper chromatography is one of the methods under chromatography‚ it can use in identifying unknown compounds using known compound and it can also use as a separation technique based on the differences in affinities of components of the mixture to a stationary phase and a mobile phase. In the experiment‚ the stationary phase was the filter paper onto which the dye samples were dropped onto while the mobile phase was the solvent mixture containing ethanol and water which

Paper chromatography Presented by – Miss. Shruti Vilas Kharat. SYBSc / FS13164 History- Paper Chromatography (PC) was first introduced by German scientist Christian Friedrich Schonbein (1865). PC is considered to be the simplest and most widely used of the chromatographic techniques because of its applicability to isolation‚ identification and quantitative determination of organic and inorganic compounds. Definition- Paper chromatography is an analytical method technique for separating and

EXPERIMENT 5: CHROMATOGRAPHY Abstract Paper Chromatography uses a chromatogram paper as its stationary phase and the solvent as the mobile phase. Retention factor is the ratio of the distance travelled by the sample to the distance travelled by the solvent. This experiment aims to separate organic compounds‚ to compute Rf values and to identify unknown compounds using Rf values. The ten samples underwent paper chromatography to determine the components of the unknown sample. The mobile phase allowed

PAPER and COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY REPORT 1. 2. The unknown code is an amino acid‚ Glycine. To justify the reason is because the retention factor is the same exact number as the Glycine. The data of the unknown shows everything to be exact with the data of the Glycine 3. The mobile phase is the more polar during the capillary action of the experiment. As soon as the paper touches the mobile phase‚ the solvent rises to the amino acids. This is where you can find polarity of the amino acids.
