to separate and purify two unknown compounds‚ one solid and one liquid‚ from an ethereal solution using the techniques of chemically active extraction‚ vacuum filtration‚ simple distillation‚ and recrystallization. Then identifying information was compiled about these unknowns by obtaining experimental melting/boiling point ranges‚ and analyzing IR and proton/carbon NMR spectrums It was determined that the unknown solid’s identity was m-nitrobenzoic acid and the unknown liquid’s identity was 4‚4-dimethyl-2-pentanone

emotion‚ and the unknown. The unknown is typically portrayed as death. While humans can understand the events that occur whilst they live‚ they know nothing of what happens during the act of death‚ or after death has occurred. Do human beings simply decay in the earth in which they are buried within? Or‚ perhaps‚ do we become spirits and live on eternally watching over the earth we have left? Hawthorne addresses these questions in his novels using both life and death

sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with hydrochloric acid (HCl). To start off the mass of two unknown substances (being the sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate) will be taken. We will need to construct balanced equations for both of the reactants with the HCl and use this to guide us to figure out how much HCl will be needed to react with each of the unknown substances. When this part is through we will then need to find the percent yield (actual yield/theoretical yield x

Purpose: a) Determine the melting points of two organic compounds known to have the same melting range when pure. b) Determine the mixture melting point of a mixture of the two pure compounds. c) Identify an unknown organic compound by determining its melting point and mixture melting point. Procedure and Observations: Using the procedure outlined in Appendix A of the Lab Manual‚ approximately equal samples of p-Nitrophenol and acetanilide‚ which are known to have the same melting range

investigated the boiling point of an unknown liquid to determine its identity. Chemical Responsibility: 1. Make sure to use glycerine (lubricant) and a towel to safely insert the thermometer into the rubber stopper. 2. Carefully operate the Bunsen burner and make sure to use rubber gloves when handling the boiling water of beaker 3. Always wear goggles at all times and avoid contact with the unknown liquids 4. After the lab is done‚ pour the unknown liquid into a container labeled “Waster

identify unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests‚ and my unknown bacteria is #17. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential tests used to identify the unknown cultures

DENSITY AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY Materials and Methods Part 1: Density of an Unknown Solid 1. We first were asked from our laboratory instructor to attain an unknown solid and were asked to note down the number of the solid. 2. Determine the mass of the unknown solid to the nearest 0.001 g and record it in the data table in the back of the laboratory workbook. 3. Then we determined the volume of the unknown solid by water displacement. We first filled a 100mL graduated cylinder about

Abstract Surface tension is defined as the energy or work required to increase the surface area of a liquid due to intermolecular forces. Measuring the surface tension is useful in identifying unknown liquids and to check for its purity. By capillary method‚ the surface tension of a given unknown liquid was obtained. Water was used as reference liquid and both liquids were subjected to capillary method at 20‚ 30 and 40℃. The surface tension of water was used to calculate the radius of the capillary

Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to find the identity of the unknown compound #12. This was done both qualitatively and quantitatively. The qualitative observations were used to determine the functional group that was in the unknown‚ the quantitative results were used to determine the molar mass through Duma’s method. The types of compounds that were used in testing were all functional groups‚ Aldehyde‚ Ketone‚ Alcohol and‚ Ester. Functional groups are a portion of a molecule that

IDENTIFICATION OF UNKNOWN SOLUTIONS USING TLC CHROMATOGRAPHY Purpose: To become familiar with the principles and terminology of TLC chromatography to identify an unknown molecule based on comparisons with known laboratory standards and Rf factors. Background Thin Layer Chromatography: Chromatography is a sophisticated method of separating and identifying mixtures of two or more compounds. The separation is accomplished by the distribution of the mixture between two phases: one that
