July 14‚ 2009 Experiment 6: Fractional Distillation. Separation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons Abstract: A mixture of cyclohexane and toluene were separate from one another by fractional distillation in order to measure the composition of each fraction and prepare the sample for gas chromatography. Introduction: Distillation has been used since antiquity to separate the components of mixtures. This method has been used to manufacture different organic chemicals but the most recent application

Experiment #4A- A Separation and purification Scheme Amena Alkeswani‚ PHCC Dhanlal Murally‚ PHCC September 27‚ 2012 Abstract: There are millions of different organic compounds. Most of them are found in mixtures and in order to achieve a pure form they need to be separated‚ isolated‚ and purified. However‚ there are endless numbers of possible mixtures‚ which make it impossible to have a pre-designed procedure for every mixture. So chemists often have to make their own procedures. The purpose

| Experiment 2 | Calorimetry | | Chemistry 1310 | 7/21/2013 | | This experiment is to calibrate a constant pressure calorimeter to experimentally determine a series of heats of reaction that will be used to predict the enthalpy of reaction for another reaction using Hess’ Law and to determine heats of dissolution for a number of ionic salts that will be used to predict lattice energy again by using Hess’ Law. Heat may increase during experiment and undergo exothermic reaction

Jarriette kenn D Patenio Jaymar patana Job madronal Do all ideal gases have the same molar volume? An ideal gas has the following equation of state (an equation which relates various thermodynamic properties for a substance‚ such as pressure‚ temperature and molar volume): Pv = RT P - pressure v - molar volume R - universal gas constant T - absolute temperature Clearly the molar volume depends on temperature and pressure‚ so if two gases are at different conditions then they

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals across a synapse‚ a structure that permits to pass electrical or chemical signal to another cell from one neuron to another. Neurotransmitters are synthesized from converting substances that are readily available to the body such as amino acids‚ which are available from food and only need some converting into transmitters. Neurotransmitters crucial to daily life and functions. Scientists are uncertain exactly how many Neurotransmitters there are

Research The Chemical name for Baking Soda: Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. The molecular formula of sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3. What Baking Powder contains: Baking powder is a raising agent that is commonly used in cake-making. It is made from an alkali- bicarbonate of soda‚ and an acid- cream of tartar‚ plus a filler like corn flour or rice flour which absorbs moisture. Baking powder is a mixture of leavening agents (baking soda‚ acid salts) and inert ingredients (cornstarch‚ calcium

EXPERIMENT 4B: THE MENDELEEV LAB OF 1869 Materials: 30 element cards‚ periodic table Aim: How can we identify elements based on their propeties? Background: Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited as being the first chemist to observe patterns emerge when the elements are arranged according to their properties. Mendeleev’s arrangement of the elements was unique because he left blank spaces for elements that he claimed were undiscovered as of 1869. Mendeleev was so confident
