Candy Chromatography: What makes those colors? The point of doing this project is to use paper chromatography to see which dyes are used in the coatings of your favorite colored candies. Chromatography is a technique for separating mixtures. Chromatography can be used to separate specific components from a complex mixture‚ based on molecular size or other chemical properties. It can also be used to identify chemicals‚ for example crime scene samples like blood‚ drugs‚ or explosive residue. Highly

Chemistry and Society Jessica Yadira Lopez CHM/110 November 10‚ 2014 Jennifer Cruz Chemistry and Society Chemistry plays a huge and important role in society; Society depends on the accuracy and precision of measurements for products sold by the retail industry‚ such as a gallon of gasoline‚ a bushel of corn‚ or a liter of bottled water. These measurements have to be precise and accurate when it this relates to how farmers sell their products such as wheat‚ corn‚ milk‚ peanuts‚ and cotton‚ by

Chemistry and cosmetics Cosmetics have been around since almost the beginning of time. Egyptian women used kohl to darken their eyelids‚ Cleopatra was even said to have bathed in milk to achieve a soft smooth completion. In Greece‚ women used lead carbonate (a white powder) to obtain a pale complexion‚ which probably wasn’t worth it seeing how it cost them their lives! Anyway‚ cosmetics are no modern phenomenon! Today it is a big business‚ making about $12 billion

Chromatography Experiment of the Drosophila Eye Pigmentation Pathway Introduction: How can the use of chromatography help explain single gene mutations of the drosophila melanogaster bio-synthetic pigment pathway? This experiment was meant to help connect the mode of inheritance with different eye color mutations and pinpoint where they occur in the pigment pathway. The drosophila eye color is a result of two bio-synthetic eye color pathways‚ this is expressed as a trait or phenotype‚ a multigene

Thin Layer Chromatography Introduction Thin Layer Chromatography or TLC is a technique used as a separation and identification technique. There are many forms of chromatography‚ but one thing that remains constant throughout all of the types of chromatography is that there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. In the case of TLC the stationary phase is the silica gel on the TLC tray. Procedure Chromatograph method is a method of separating mixtures of two or more compounds. Two phases

Jashandeep Gill Gammellos Chemistry Density is one of the fundamental principles of physics. Density is the reason why a plank of wood floats on water while a piece of metal several times smaller will sink. Density of an object is measured in g/cm³ or g/cc. The equation is D=M/V‚ D being the density of the object‚ M being the mass of the object‚ and V being the volume of the object. Mass is the space an object takes up. It is the amount of matter present in an object. Mass is measured using

1. (a) I‚ III‚ and IV are correct. II is not correct. To explain III‚ de Broglie’s equation states l = h/(mv)‚ so nl = nh/(mv) = 2pi(r). Where: l = wavelength‚ v = velocity of electron‚ n = some positive integer‚ r = distance of electron from center‚ m = mass of electron. Solve‚ get mvr = L = nh/2pi. (b) The current wave mechanical model for the atom states that there are an integer number of wavelengths in every standing integer number (n). 2. (a) The first shell electrons in Lithium are

Use this packet and your book to answer the questions throughout this packet. Organic Nomenclature - Alkanes‚ Alkenes‚ Alkynes Naming organic compounds can be a challenge to any chemist at any level. Historically‚ chemists developed names for new compounds without any systematic guidelines. In this century‚ the need for standardization was recognized. For simple molecules‚ the nomenclature system worked out by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists (IUPAC) works well. For complex
