Kate Kirby June 6‚ 2013 Title: Extraction of an Unknown Compound Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a mixture of two or more unknown compounds and identify them based on their melting point and reactivity with an acid or a base. Compound studied/Reactions: The organic solvent used in this experiment was methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE‚ 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane). The unknown that dissolved in the MTBE‚ but was insoluble in water. MBTE is very volatile and flammable. It was

Introduction Extraction is a purification technique used in organic chemistry to separate compounds from a mixture of two or more compounds. There are three different extraction techniques: liquid-liquid extraction‚ solid-liquid extraction and chemically active extraction. All three types of extraction follow the same principle. Organic molecules dissolve in organic solvents and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solvents. This phenomenon is observed because of the intermolecular forces between

conduct and taught based upon the primary instruction and introduction to mixtures. With this lab I was able to determine and execute the proper separation of a mixture of solids through various means‚ such as evaporation and filtration. Using these techniques presented the separation of different ingredients from a mixture was conducted based upon the usage of individual physical properties of each substance presented in the mixture. . Observations: Throughout this experiment I noted several things

The order that the liquids were in was blue‚ orange‚ green‚ yellow‚ and red. On our first trial‚ we only put in blue‚ green‚ red‚ and yellow mixtures inside the test tube. Before we even put in the orange solution‚ the yellow liquid started to mix in with the red solution. It meant that the yellow sugar water was more dense than the red sugar water. On our second trial‚ we tried to put the green mixture first to see what would happen. When we put the green mixture inside the test tube‚ we decided

Separation of Mixtures 9/11/11 * Introduction: A compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions. Unlike a compound‚ a mixture is a material system made up by two or more different substances which are mixed together but are not combined chemically. There are two kinds of mixtures‚ homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures have the same composition and appearance throughout

substances from one another using decantation‚ extraction‚ and sublimation techniques. Most materials in our surroundings are mixtures of two or more substances in which each substance retains its own chemical identity and therefore its own properties. Mixtures are either homogeneous or heterogeneous. Mixtures that don’t have the same composition‚ properties‚ and appearance throughout the mixture are called Heterogeneous. Mixture that are

Separation Lab Purpose: This lab was based on the separation of the components of a mixture. A mixture can be defined as a physical combination of two or more pure substances. Separation techniques are used to separate components that are not chemically combined. All of these techniques involve changes in the physical state of a chemical compound rather than chemical changes. Sea sand‚ table salt‚ and two other unknown substances will be separated using the separation techniques in order to demonstrate

Liquid Chromatography – Laboratory #18 Introduction: We are using liquid chromatography to separate the colored substances in grape-flavored drinks. We separate the component dyes‚ and then we separate the flavorings and citric acids. Background: Chromatography is a process that is used to separate a substance into its component parts. The separation occurs between the stationary and moving phase of the lab. The moving phase consists of a fluid and the stationary phase consists of a solid

Separation of a Carboxylic Acid from a Neutral Compound by Extraction Reference: Smith‚ Chapter 2 (Acids and Bases) Introduction Carboxylic acids and phenols are two families of organic compounds that contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ and also react with water to yield an excess of hydronium ions over hydroxide ions. Pure water has a pH of 7‚ which means it has a hydronium ion concentration‚ [H3O+] of 10-7 M (M = molarity‚ moles/Liter). The hydronium ions in pure water come from the self-ionization
