Lab Report
Introduction: A popular technique in separating components of a mixture is paper chromatography. We use paper chromatography to separate mixtures and isolate there components to collect them individually. In this experiment, we will use acid- base indicators to help determine the unknown mixture. Acid- base indicators will change in color when the presence of pHs rise and fall when acids or bases are added to a solution. After setting strips of paper into a flask with the eluding solvent and waiting 45-60 minutes, we will set the strips over Ammonium hydroxide. Ammonium hydroxide serves as a developer for the components and brings out there color at a high pH. We will measure

    Chm 130 Lab 12

    In this experiment the student will need a Bunsen burner, ring stand, wire gauze, pH meter, red cabbage, about seven small beakers (clean), seven test tubes, universal pH paper, both red and blue litmus paper, methyl red and several solutions provided by the instructor. First the student will prepare the red cabbage by filling a beaker with 50 mL of distilled water and placing about 1 gram of finely chopped red cabbage and boil for 10 minuets. Let the beaker cool and decant the solution from the cabbage. While the cabbage is boiling the student should continue with the rest of the experiment, pour about 2 mL into the beaker and test the pH with the pH meter, litmus papers, and universal pH paper and record. Pour half of the solution into a test tube and set aside. With the sample in the beaker add 2 drops of methyl red and record. With the solution in the test tube add a dropper full of the cabbage indicator and record. The student must do these steps with all of the solution provided for in this experiment.…

    Mystery Mixtures Lab Report

    After examining seven additional substances, there were many pieces of evidence that help conclude that the mystery mixture ( number 8) is composed of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate the same as mixture six . At first when just observing the dry mixtures, it was hard to determine which ones were identical to the mystery mixture. In order to figure out which substances combined to make the mystery mixture, another process we followed was adding water to the substances and observing the reaction. Adding water to the mixtures resulted in a chemical reaction. The materials fizzed and bubbled due to the reaction.…

    An unknown sample, # 12-Green, was separated into its individual variable components, iron, ammonium chloride, silicon dioxide, and sodium chloride. The techniques used to separate the components of unknown # 12-Green, magnetism, sublimation, extraction, and filtration, were chosen based on the unique properties of each component. Using these separation techniques, each substance was extracted and the composition of unknown # 12-Green was 16% Fe, 15% NH4Cl, 59% SiO2, and 9% NaCl with a 1% uncertainty due to the loss of 0.0369g of the initial mass.…

    Separating the Components of Panacetin

    Most natural products and many commercial preparations are mixtures containing a number of different substances. To obtain a pure compound from such a mixture, you must separate the desired compound from the other components of the mixture by taking advantage of differences in their physical and chemical properties. Acidic or basic substances are often converted to water-soluble salts, which can then be separated from the water-insoluble components of a mixture. In this experiment, we separated the components of a simulated pharmaceutical preparation, making use of their acid-base properties. The Panacetin was weighed at 3.00grams. The filter paper weight was .218 grams. The sucrose weight was 1.389grams. We mixed 25 ml of NaHCO3 with filtrate (Panacetin and Dichloromethane) in a flask. The substance was a cloudy mixture. Next we titrated the filtrate to the separatory funnel. The Dichloromethane was a yellowish color, and the NaHCO3 was a clear residue.…

    Mystery Mixture Lab Report

    During our chemistry unit, we had to identify different types of compounds in a mystery mixture. I have identified 2 compounds in the mystery mixture. From the physical appearance of the mystery mixture, it seems that there are only 2 types of compounds. You could see that there were only 2 because 1 of the compounds was very fine and powdery, while the other one was sandy and crystallized. I have determined the compounds in the mystery mixture to be citric acid and sodium bicarbonate because they have the same chemical reaction and the same physical appearance.…

    Acid Lab

    In this lab the testing of whether or not a substance was an acid or a base occurred. Each substance was tested with the indicators red litmus paper, blue litmus paper, pH paper, phenolthalein, bromthymol blue, and phenol red. While the substances were tested the group noticed that the substances tested with the red and blue litmus paper, the phenolthatein, bronthmol blue were the easiest to interpret. The color changes that occurred when this indicator was put into a substance made it really obvious whether or not the substance was an acid or a base. Especially, the magenta color that the phenolthalein turned in the presence of a base really made the substance easy to interpret.…

    Ph Indicator Experiment

    Our results showed the clear color change as pH increased, transitioning from pink to purple to green to yellow. This develops a basic scale for us to base observations on, as a benchmark was developed. The pH of the substances in part C were unknown, and as such color changes were observed, allowing us to estimate the pH of the substances (see discussion). However, based on the scale, it is agreeable that the pinker substances in Part C were acidic, the greener substances were alkaline and the purple substances were neutral.…
