ABSTRACT Melting points of different mixtures of naphthalene and biphenyl were examined in this lab. Samples of these various mixtures were collected and tested by different individuals in the lab in order to find the eutectic point of biphenyl. Unknown substances were then tested using the mixture melting point method in order to determine their identities. INTRODUCTION The melting point of a solid is the temperature where the substance changes from a solid to a liquid state. Using known substances

The Half-Life of a Radioisotope CHM 152 Abstract: The half-life of an unknown radioactive isotope was investigated. The activity of the samples through use of a Geiger-Muller counter. The activity was measured for approximately five minutes per sample‚ and a half-life was calculated by the unknown. The results were calculated to indicate a half-life of 6.65 days of the unknown radioisotope. Introduction: The half-life of a radioisotope is defined as the amount of time necessary for one-half

Name Lab‚ Week #1 BALANCE LAB Introduction Several instruments are used for determining the mass of a chemical; these instruments are called “balances.” However‚ different balances have different measurements‚ meaning that some balances are more accurate than others. Moreover‚ there are several techniques that are used or practiced in order to obtain an accurate measurement. The two techniques are direct weighing and weighing by difference. Direct weighing simply means to read the mass

Title: Determining which organic molecules are present in a series of unknown dietary supplements ● Introduction: Our main objective was to find out if the dietary supplements that claimed to be providing high levels of proteins contained fillers such as starch and sugar. We developed and carried out tests to determine which organic molecules were present in a series of unknown supplements. This is important because it is important to know what is in the food you eat for yourself and not always reply

Dumas Method Objectives: • To determine the molecular mass of an unknown volatile liquid using the Dumas method and the ideal gas law. Background: In the early 19th century‚ Jean-Baptiste Dumas‚ a distinguished French chemist‚ created a relatively simple method for determining the molecular mass of a volatile substance. In this experiment we will use a modified version of his technique to determine the molecular mass of an unknown volatile liquid. The density of a gas is given by the ideal-gas

Analysis of Oxygen bearing Organic compounds Abstract The Unknown sample in the experiment can be tested to yield results such as 1° (primary)‚ 2° (secondary)‚ 3° (tertiary) alcohols. Tests such as the dichromate test‚ Tollen’s test‚ Lucas test‚ DNPH test and iodoform test would be very useful in determining the type of alcohol that the unknown sample belongs to. In the experiment‚ the unknown sample underwent series of testing to identify what property of alcohol it belonged to and the result
