In chemistry‚ an alcohol is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom. In particular‚ this carbon center should be saturated‚ having single bonds to three other atoms.[1] An important class of alcohols are the simple acyclic alcohols‚ the general formula for which is CnH2n+1OH. Of those‚ ethanol (C2H5OH) is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages‚ and in common speech the word alcohol refers specifically to ethanol. Other alcohols are usually

Introduction Flash-Column Chromatography is another useful technique used to separate and purify complex mixtures of compounds. In this experiment‚ TLC is used to determine the best solvent system for the column. Due to Flash-Column Chromatography1 being an inexpensive technique‚ many scientist use this process for drug and natural product purification. Method By using the information from Experiment 6B‚ the TLC solvent system used was 30% EtOAc: 70% Hex. Experiment 7 was broken into two parts‚

1. Disposing of Waste - Teachers should be aware of the appropriate method of disposal for any chemical used in the school laboratory. When in doubt‚ refer to the MSDS‚ a disposal manual‚ or the source of the chemical. a. Classification of Hazardous Waste The Environmental Protection Agency classifies wastes as: Ignitable: has a flash point below 140°C‚ is an oxidizer‚ or is an ignitable compressed gas. Corrosive: has a pH equal to or below 2.0 or a pH equal to or greater than 12.5. Reactive:

BOILING POINTS AND MELTING POINTS PART 2 Name: Grethel Zegarra Date of Lab: October 26‚ 2010 Date lab is due: November 2‚ 2010 HYPOTHESIS The boiling point in degrees Celsius will increase as the number of carbon atoms increase. The melting point of the unknown will indicate its mixed substances. The boiling point will increase as a result of the different branching of the OH‚ the melting point will be affected by the different positioning of the OH on the benzene ring. PURPOSE To introduce

Chemical T ests for Unknowns Chemical tests have been developed as a means of identifying what functional groups are present in an unknown compound. Since IR and NMR spectroscopy has been developed‚ they are no longer critical to unknown analysis‚ but they can still be useful for confirming what you have determined by spectroscopy. Some of them look cool too! In order for a chemical reaction to work as a chemical test‚ it must 1) create a visible result (a color change‚ a precipitate‚ etc)
