LIQUID CRYSTALS Introduction What are Liquid crystals ? Its History & Discovery Any of various liquids in which molecules are regularly arrayed like a solid crystal along one or two dimensions‚ but are free in the other dimensions as with typical liquids. Liquid crystals often display unusual and often manipulable optical properties such as anisotropic scattering. They can be divided into two classes‚ Thermo tropic(nematic‚ chiral nematic‚ and smectic.) and Lyotropic. Transitions to thermotropic

Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction Ionic liquids (ILs) can be viewed as a new and remarkable class of solvent. They are also a type of materials that have a long and useful history‚ where the earliest material that meets the current definition of IL was observed in the mid-19th century when a separate liquid phase called the “red oil” was observed in Friedel-Crafts reaction [17]. Over the following years‚ there has been a rapid growing of interest in ILs due to the realization

lithium soaps and mineral oil. These calcium- and lithium-based greases are widely used. Many other metallic soaps are also useful‚ including those of aluminium‚ sodium‚ and mixtures of them. Such soaps are also used as thickeners to increase the viscosity of oils. In ancient times‚ lubricating greases were made by the addition of lime to olive oil.[3] |Contents | |1 Mechanism of cleansing soaps

packed closely together‚ but they are able to move around. Hence a fluid does not have a rigid shape‚ but adapts to the contours of the container that holds it. Like a liquid a gas has no fixed shape‚ but it has little resistance to compression because there is enough empty space for the molecules to move closer. Whereas a liquid placed in a container will form a puddle at the bottom of the container‚ a gas will expand to fill the container. Although the three categories seem very well defined

Your Marbles to Discover a Liquid’s Viscosity Which Liquid Has the Highest Viscosity? In this project we will determine the viscosities of 5 separate liquids. The liquids we will test are corn syrup‚ honey‚ vegetable oil‚ milk‚ and water. We will find their viscosities by dropping a marble into each of these liquids and measuring the time it takes for it to reach the bottom. Before we conduct the experiment‚ we must first understand what viscosity is. “Viscosity is the quantity that describes a

of solvent extraction‚ also known as liquid-liquid extraction‚ a method of separating two materials with different physical and/or chemical properties. Two methods of evaporation will be used to finally determine the concentration of impurity- one using an explosion-proof hot-plate‚ and one using a rotovap. III. Theory Fig. 1a+1b. Figure 1a shows how water and oil separate in the separatory funnel‚ while figure 1b shows the actual apparatus. Liquid-Liquid extraction is a versatile and dependable

Liquids & Solids Pre Lab Questions: 3pts 1. What are the learning goals of this lab? The learning goal of this experiment is to view and experience the melting point and boiling point of different substances. 2. Why is acetamide not allowed in contact with your skin? What precautions does one have to take to work with this chemical? Acetamide is a carcinogen‚ which can cause cancer. Therefore‚ it should not be allowed to come in contact with a person’s skin. Any person working with this chemical

Rate of Evaporation of Different Liquids Objective of the Project This project is of the rate of evaporation of different liquid‚ in which we also discuss the factors which affect the rate of liquid. Introduction When liquid is placed in an open vessel. It slowly escapes into gaseous phase ventually leaving the vessel empty. This phenomenon is known as vaporization or evaporation. Evaporation of liquids can be explained in the terms of kinetic molecular model although there

Calculating the Density of Liquids II. Purpose/Background: The purpose if this lab was to determine the density of water and an unknown liquid. Density is defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume. It is an intrinsive property of matter and is used to specifically characterize substances. III. Procedure: 1.We massed an empty 10mL graduated cylinder to the nearest .01g. 2.Then‚ we filled the graduated cylinder with 4.0-5.0 mL of distilled water‚ 3.massed it to the nearest 0.1

------------------------------------------------- Liquid–liquid extraction From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Liquid–liquid extraction also known as solvent extraction and partitioning‚ is a method to separate compounds based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids‚ usually water and an organic solvent. It is an extraction of a substance from one liquid into another liquid phase. Liquid–liquid extraction is a basic technique in chemical laboratories‚ where it is performed
