Post Lab Report Experiment 3 - Chromatography – Analyzing Analgesics by TLC and Isolation of β–Carotene by Column Chromatography Chemicals 1. Acetaminophen (C8H9NO2) 2. Aspirin (C9H8O4) 3. Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) 4. Ibuprofen (C13hH18O2) Introduction In this experiment‚ several analgesics were analyzed by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and the composition of an unknown tablet was identified. We define chromatography as the separation of two or more compounds or ions by

Kalacas*‚ Hanna Mae Laluces‚ Ina Bianca Lanuza Department of Chemistry‚ College of Science *Corresponding author; e-mail: knight_BeNcH66@yahoo.com Abstract Chromatography is a powerful technique for separating and/or identifying the components in a mixture. There are different types of chromatography and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. In this experiment‚ pigments of the

Introduction: This experiment involves an extraction of a natural product using the techniques of steam distillation. The principle component of oil of cloves is an aromatic compound‚ which is identified by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Eugenol is widely used in dentistry‚ due to its analgesic‚ antiseptic balsamic qualities. It is ideal for curative for pulp hyperemia (the soft‚ sensitive substance underneath the enamel and dentine of a tooth) and pulp its. In dentistry eugenol is also used to

Separating Substances: Identifying Food Dyes with TLC Background The color of food is an integral part of our culture and enjoyment of life. Who would deny the mouth-watering appeal of a deep-pink strawberry ice cream on a hot summer’s day or a golden Thanksgiving turkey garnished with fresh green parsley? Even early civilizations such as the Romans recognized that people "eat with their eyes" as well as their palates. Saffron and other spices were often used to provide a rich yellow color

Abstract In order to experiment with distinct components of a mixture‚ they must be first separated so they can be observed individually. This is accomplished in this lab by the technique called thin layer chromatography (TLC). TLC involves a stationary phase‚ which the TLC plates as well as a mobile phase‚ which could be one of two solvents used: ethanol-acetone for TLC. Dyes in a sample separate consequently because of their unique polarities. As a result‚ nonpolar substances travel further

Stereochemistry of Dihydroxylation Reactions Question: Can the stereochemical outcome of dihydroxylation reactions be determined by thin layer chromatography? Overview: In this experiment‚ you will perform two reactions that transform alkenes into diols. While similar in functional group transformation‚ these reactions may lead to stereochemically different products. The two possible products are diastereomers of one another‚ and therefore have different physical chracteristics. After

Chemical Separation Introduction: The objective of this experiment was to extract the pigments from spinach leaves‚ perform Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) on the spinach leaf extract‚ and then determine the best solvent mixture to use to separate the pigments in the extract. The pigments are located inside the chloroplast walls in the cells of the spinach leaves. In order to obtain the pigments the cell walls must be broken down thus exposing the pigment containing chloroplasts. Upon

(Author’s name) (Professor’s name) (Course details) (Date Abstract The aim of the lab was to separate and analyse analgesic drugs in a drug tablet. The method used to separate the components was Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) with silica adsorbent as the stationary phase and 0.5% glacial acetic as the mobile phase. In one plate‚ five known samples were used as the reference‚ that is: Aspirin; Caffeine; Ibuprofen; and Salicylamide. Aspirin and Salicylamide were the only samples that fluoresced

To: Wesley Clark From: Lizzie Heath Date: March 4‚ 2013 Subject: Thin-Layer Chromatographic Analysis of Drug Components (Experiment #15) The purpose of this experiment is to determine the components of an unknown drug and identify it as one of six (6) commercial drugs by using thin-layer chromatography. I added approximately a quarter of a tablet of acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ caffeine‚ ibuprofen‚ salicylamide‚ and the unknown (#19) to separate test tubes containing 2.5mL of dichloromethane
