Analysis of Alum The objective of this lab is to run tests on a compound and analyze the substance itself‚ and then determine whether or not the compound is actually alum. Jill Cline Period 3 November 19‚ 2013 Laurel Hergenroeder and Sarinah Martelli Introduction/Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to run various tests on the substance called alum. (AlK(SO4)2 ∙ 12H2O). These tests like the process of filtration heating the solution will reveal things

Proteins are arguably the most important things that people know the least about. As OpenStax CNX puts it‚ “Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules”. Proteins are “Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen”(Miller‚ Kenneth R.‚ and Joseph S. Levine 48). Macromolecules are exceedingly large molecules that can be made up of several lesser molecules called proteins.

objective of this experiment was to carry an organic synthesis; the preparation of salicylic acid from methyl salicylate. To do an organic synthesis‚ it is needed to chemically modify the molecules of another compound to end up with the desire compound. Methyl salicylate is the major constituent of wintergreen oil‚ which is why it was used in this experiment as the starting material. The new technique used in this experiment is heating under reflux. Many organic compounds‚ when heated become volatile and

impurities have on the melting point of an organic compound? Soluble impurities affect the melting point of a solid in the following manner. a. The presence of an impurity in the molten compound reduces its vapor pressure thus lowering the melting point of the compound. b. Broaden the melting point range. 2. For what tow purpose are melting points routinely used a. To determine the identity of an organic solid. b. To determine the purity of an organic solid. 3. What effects on the measured melting

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

Silveira Date of Submission: September 25‚ 2013 Lab Section: CHE110L*Z Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to use two common laboratory methods to see how mixtures can be separated based on physical properties. Paper chromatography will be used to separate the dye colors from M&M candy to see which colors contain yellow #5. Gravimetric separation will be used to separate salt and sand from a mixture. Procedure The procedure for this lab can be found on pages 16 – 30 in “General Chemistry

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
