Mains gas is most likely to be piped natural gas. The most serious risk to human health is via a leak‚ however small‚ in the piping system that transports the gas inside the building. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons‚ including methane. It is colourless and odourless‚ which makes a leak difficult to notice. Exposure to high levels of natural gas quickly causes unconsciousness and even death. Exposure to low levels can cause dizziness‚ nausea or heart palpitations. It has this affect because

Making TLC Plates from Bulk TLC Silica Gels Many TLC users prefer to use pre-coated TLC plates‚ but others because of their special needs‚ or because they need special additives or a special thickness‚ coat their own TLC plates. This paper is a quick review of what is needed for the process. Initial instructions for plate coating: If reproducible plates are needed‚ then the user should invest in a coating device from Camag or Desaga (addresses below). The devices consist of a tray that holds

Mechanism of Nitrile Oxide and Alkene Cycloaddition 1. Purpose: to clarify the mechanism for the cycloaddition reaction between benzonitrile oxide and an alkene‚ and to test the regiochemistry of the reaction between benzonitrile oxide and styrene. 2. Plan: Each student in a group of three will work to create a reaction with the Benzonitrile Oxide with‚ cis-stilbene‚ trans-stilbene‚ or styrene in an Erlenmyer flask. With this Reaction solution thin layer chromatography will be performed using each

Ion Exchange Chromatography Week 10 TAG Question 1: Chapter 6-4 of your technique book provides a detailed description of how to run a ion- exchange column. Assume you have a cation-exchange column already prepared and ready to use. Create an outline of no more than 10 steps describing how you will regenerate the column‚ load your sample and collect the hydronium ion released. 1. Open the stopcock at the bottom of the column and allow solution to drain out until the solution level in the

Column and Thin Layer Chromatography Beverly Abstract: Plant pigments were separated and concentrated from a crude spinach extract through the use of column chromatography and an eluatropic series of hexanes‚ hexane/acetone‚ and methanol. The pigments were analyzed using thin layer chromatography with a 30% ethyl acetate/hexane developing solvent. Introduction: Chromatography is a technique used to separate a mixture of two or more components based on

Gas laws have an impact on several aspects of our lives. The S.T.E.M I decided to explore deals a great deal in thermodynamics in the gas law I chose chemistry. First off I have to explain what is the broad practice of chemistry. Chemistry‚ a branch of physical science‚ is the study of the composition‚ properties and behavior of matter. Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms‚ and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds. Chemistry is also concerned with

Review the behavior of the gas phase vs. the liquid phase. Solution: a) The volume of the liquid remains constant‚ but the volume of the gas increases to the volume of the larger container. b) The volume of the container holding the gas sample increases when heated‚ but the volume of the container holding the liquid sample remains essentially constant when heated. c) The volume of the liquid remains essentially constant‚ but the volume of the gas is reduced. The particles in a gas are further apart than

Suggest and justify the most suitable & efficient separation technique to be employed for an analysis. 2 What is supercritical fluid? 3 Critical temperature (Tc) for any substance is a temperature above which it can no longer exist as a liquid‚ no matter how much pressure is applied. Critical pressure (Pc) is a pressure above which the substance can no longer exist as a gas no matter how high the temperature is raised. A supercritical fluid is any substance that is above its
