Organic Lab 1: Fractional Distillation Discussion: With the purpose of the experiment being to identify the 30 mL of unknown liquid‚ the theoretical basis of simple and fractional distillation must be deconstructed and applied to the data obtained describing the liquid in question. Simple distillation is a separation technique which can be used to separate and purify distillates from a liquid mixture which ideally contains one volatile and one non-volatile compound. If such ideal conditions are

The study of urinary chemistry on stone forming minerals will provide a good indication of risk of stone formation. Urinary supersaturation with respect to stone-forming constituents is generally considered to be one of the causative factors in calculogenesis. Though supersaturation of stone forming salts in urine is essential‚ abundance of these salts by itself will not always result in stone formation. Various substances in the body have an effect on one or more of the stone forming processes (nucleation

Identifying Organic Compounds Problem: Based on the color of the indicator‚ which type of organic compound will be found in each type of food? Hypothesis: If Benedict solution is added to honey‚ then it will turn. If Biuret solution is added to egg whites‚ then it will turn. If Benedict solution is added to corn oil‚ then it will turn. If Benedict solution is added to glucose‚ then it will turn. If Benedict solution is added to gelatin‚ then it will turn. If Benedict solution is added to butter

took my first chemistry class I became mesmerized with the field of chemistry. The idea that I could start with one molecule and change it into a completely different compound both fascinated and thrilled me. I was at a predicament‚ on one hand I wanted to study medicine to help people‚ but I was far more interested in and passionate about the chemical processes and reactions. This changed when I took my first organic chemistry class. I want to make a career by applying chemistry to medicine and

(Ba(OH)2). Through the conductivity‚ the equivalence point can be determined; from there‚ the concentration of the Ba(OH)2 solution can be found. The final product of the reaction between sulfuric acid and barium hydroxide is insoluble. According to the lab manual‚ during the reaction‚ the total number of dissociated ions in solution is greatly reduced as a precipitate is formed. With the Conductivity Probe‚ the changes in conductivity of the solution will be analyzed. The collection of Ba(OH)2 precipitate

Organic Chemistry II Laboratory (ABCT357) Although studying fundamental theories of chemistry in the class is important to understand the concept of chemistry‚ carrying out experiments to corroborate the theories is also important. It is very important for students to get used to experiments in order to speed up their experiments. Expt.1. Acetylation of α-D-glucopyranose Add slowly 2.5 g (0.014 mol) of powdered D-glucose in small portions (roughly in 7-10 portions and 5 min for each addition)

How It Is Synthesized Methamphetamine was first synthesized from ephedrine in Japan in 1893 by chemist Nagai Nagayoshi. In 1919‚ crystallized methamphetamine was synthesized by Akira Ogata via reduction of ephedrine using red phosphorus and iodine. Synthesis is relatively simple‚ but entails risk with flammable and corrosive chemicals‚ particularly the solvents used in extraction and purification; therefore‚ illicit production is often discovered by fires and explosions caused by the improper

Part 1. Hydrocarbon Nomenclature From International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) General Form of IUPAC Nomenclature [branching substituent(s)] Root [Suffix] Rules: 1. Identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. This chain determines the parent name (root) of the alkane. The parent suffix for alkanes is‚ not surprisingly‚ -ane. For chains of equal length‚ pick the one with the most substituents. (Note: I number all possibilities going from left to right

The lab was to include a purpose‚ procedure‚ data/observations‚ all reactions and side reactions written out with qualitative data beneath each product and reactant except H20‚ and a summary. The purpose of this experiment is to observe the qualitative aspects of a series of reactions involving copper. Procedure 1.Measure about 1g of solid copper. 2.Place Cu in Erlenmeyer flask and place flask under fume hood. 3.Add dropwise 15M HNO3 until solid copper is completely reacted. 4.Place flask
