COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Abstract Organic compunds were examined to a comparative investigation to differentiate the properties of each sample. The physical state at room temperature‚ odor and color of the sample were noted by simple observation. In terms of solubility in H2O‚ 5% NaOH solution and 5% HCl solution‚ the samples were classified as to miscible‚ slightly immiscible or immiscible for liquid; and very soluble‚ soluble‚ partially soluble or insolubse for solid. The

1) What is the purpose of ice or cold water? To cool down the gas so that it condenses and turns into a liquid. 2) when the gas collecting tube is upside down‚ give a property of this gas. It is less dense than air. 3) Why is a pencil used in drawing the origin line in chromatography? If pen was used‚ it will dissolve giving colours and so‚ the experiment won’t be accurate. Pencil doesn’t interfere with the results. 4) When using ethanol‚ give a better apparatus arrangement‚ and why? Cover

The Cyclohexanol Cycle and Nylon Synthesis Samantha Stuckey CHE 233L Section 302 Department of Chemistry‚ DePaul University‚ 1110 W. Belden Avenue‚ Chicago‚ IL 60614 smstuckey@comcast.net May 8th‚ 2013 Abstract The first three labs of this organic chemistry experiment involved carrying out the first three parts of the Cyclohexanol Cycle. The cyclohexanol was first converted to cyclohexene and water by simple distillation (product: 6.5395g‚ 79.75% recovery). The cyclohexene then underwent a bromination

Renewable Energy Promise of a Better Future Professor Brabson SCI 110 Lanette Campos October 28‚ 2012 Energy plays a central role in modern world and it would not be wrong to say that it drives our lives. Now‚ it can be easily noticed that due to industrial development‚ the demand for energy is increasing at an alarming rate and because of this increased requirement‚ the key sources of energy means; fossil fuels are being depleted in a rapid mode which reflects that we need to concentrate

9-fluorenone is reduced to and alcohol. The are two possible ways by which this reduction can occur. One is by a catalytic hydrogenation‚ this uses a catalyst such as palladium or nickel‚ hydrogen gas‚ and heat/pressure. This can reduced an alkane to alkene. This catalytic process is preferred in industrial practices because the cost is low in the long run and more importantly there is little to no waste expense. However‚ hydrogen gas is dangerous due to being very flammable/combustible. Therefore‚ a

Chromatography • • • Separation based on polarity of compounds Two potential phases for a compound to exist in: mobile and stationary Partitioning of compounds between mobile phase and stationary phase occurs: o Compounds that are less polar move more in the mobile phase‚ those that are more polar “stick” more on the stationary phase o These polarity differences cause compounds move at different rates and therefore can be separated 1. Mobile Phase: the phase the moves; can be gas or
