Introduction to Laboratory Techniques Sean Pence Jackie Butler September 6‚ 2012 September 13‚ 2012 Abstract: This lab contains four different experiments. All four experiments focus on proper laboratory techniques. The reasoning behind this lab was to become familiar with lab equipment‚ the proper usage of lab equipment‚ and how to correctly take data and notes. The first experiment of this lab was to determine the volume of water in various types of equipment. The second experiment was to measure the

Liquids & Solids Pre Lab Questions: 3pts 1. What are the learning goals of this lab? The learning goal of this experiment is to view and experience the melting point and boiling point of different substances. 2. Why is acetamide not allowed in contact with your skin? What precautions does one have to take to work with this chemical? Acetamide is a carcinogen‚ which can cause cancer. Therefore‚ it should not be allowed to come in contact with a person’s skin. Any person working with this chemical

Sample Lab Report for CHM 152 Name Lab Partner(s) Abstract: The physical properties‚ including the boiling point‚ density‚ and refractive index were measured for unknown liquid #16. The infrared (IR) spectrum of the compound was also taken. Based on the data collected‚ it was determined that the compound was likely to be salicylaldehyde. Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to determine the identity of an unknown organic liquid by measuring some of its physical

Lab# 3 – Simple and Fractional Distillation Written by: Theressa Payne Partner: Jennifer Jantzi Performed: February 4‚2013 for CHEM 7005 John Birtwell February 6‚ 2013 Lab # 3 – Simple and Fractional Distillation Introduction: One of the most important tasks in chemistry is the separation of organic compounds which are not usually found in pure form naturally or as products of chemical synthesis. Distillation is a common method for purifying liquids based upon their boiling

acidified to re-extract eugenol from it. And the organic layer can be dried and concentrated to yield acetyleugenol The principle of steam distillation is based on the fact that two immiscible liquids will boil at a lower temperature than the boiling points of either pure component‚ because the total vapor pressure of the heterogeneous mixture is simply the sum of the vapor pressures of the individual components (i. e. PT = PoA + PoB‚ where Po is the vapor pressure of the pure liquids). This leads

in boiling point in which each pure substance is at least greater than 40-50 °C. A liquid has a specific boiling temperature at standard pressure conditions. If there are two liquids in a solution‚ the liquid with the lowest boiling point can be boiled out of the solution without removing a significant amount of the other liquid. By vaporizing the liquid and condensing it in another container‚ one can obtain a pure sample of the liquid. Any impurities and liquids with higher boiling points remain

Fractional Semi-microscale Distillation Separation of Hexane and Toluene. Objective: The main goal of this lab is to learn how separation of binary liquid mixtures is performed. Especially when the two liquids have boiling points varying by about 30° C. Hexane can be separated from toluene in this experiment because of the difference in their boiling points. Since toluene has a higher boiling point‚ it will left at the bottom while the hexane starts to boil out and collect in the Hickman still. GC measurements

3.2 and 3.4 was to determine whether the melting/freezing or boiling point is a characteristic of the property of the substance. A characteristic property is a certain property (physical or chemical) that can determine or identify the substance. For example‚ density and magnetism are two characteristic properties that can distinguish objects from one another. In this case‚ we are figuring out whether the melting/freezing or boiling point of a substance will help us find out what the substance is.

Alkenes from Alcohols: Analysis of a Mixture by Gas Chromatography Aim: To analyze a mixture of alkenes by gas chromatography. Introduction: In this lab‚ we specifically used elimination reaction; however we only used the E1 reaction. In the presence of strong acids‚ alcohols protonate to form a good leaving group‚ namely water. Upon loss of a proton to a good leaving group‚ an introduction of unsaturation (a double bond) can be preformed. According to Wikipedia‚ an E2 reaction is typically

purpose of this lab is comparing the efficiency of two distillation methods with the mixture of ethanol and 1-butanol. in theory the fractional distillation should be more efficient because of the steel sponge. The sponge acted as surface area for gas to condense on. This prevented some of the 1-butanol from condensing into the vial during fraction A because it would condense onto the sponge and drip back down into the flask. The boiling point of 1-butanol is higher than the boiling point of ethanol‚
