this recrystallization lab in order to achieve the desired results‚ which included heating the solvent‚ completing a hot filtration‚ completing a vacuum filtration of a chilled solution‚ as well as drying and calculating the weight and melting point of the final version of the sample. I began the lab with 1.5 grams of the impure acetanilide solute and ended the lab with 0.05 grams of pure acetanilide crystals. The percentage of pure acetanilide I recovered during this lab was 3.33%‚ which is lower

Pre-Lab Work Sheet Which type of compound usually has higher melting points: ionic compounds or covalent compounds? What is the reason for this difference in melting points? (3 points) Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than covalent compounds. The electrostatic attraction in an ionic bond is very strong hence a lot of heat energy is required to break it down‚ ionic bonds have high melting and boiling points. In covalent bonds‚ the intermolecular forces are very weak and

Abstract The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in a whole and diced wedges by with The enzyme catalase was observed. The catalase was able to break down the hydrogen peroxide In the diced banana wedge better than the whole banana because after the banana was diced that Increases the surface area allowing the breakdown to flow. The effects of temperature on enzyme In a liver sample were observed under iced‚ boiling‚ 37 degrees‚ and room temperature Conditions. The enzymes became completely

AP Lab #5 Plant Pigments/Photosynthesis I. Identifying the Effects of Different Variables of Light and Carbon Dioxide on the Rate of Photosynthesis and Observing the Separation of Pigments Through Chromatography II. Introduction Plants have a variety of pigments‚ all of which absorb a different color of light. The three main pigments are chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b and carotenoids. Chlorophyll a is the primary plant pigment that absorbs red and blue light‚ which ultimately appears green to the human eye

Flame Lab Objective: How an electron absorbs energy and re-emits it as light and why different elements have different spectra. Also to learn how to use flame tests to determine the identity of unknown mixtures. Hypothesis: We know that certain compounds will burn certain flame colors because they emit different wave lengths. Introduction: Neils Bohr made the “Bohr’s Model” in 1922‚ he found that electron travel in specified fields – which‚ when excited‚ will jump to different rings

Lab Report: Stoichiometry Lab Oct. 27‚ 2011 Claire Elizabeth Lab Partners: Hannah Signature:___________________ Introduction- Baking soda and vinegar are two common materials found in almost every household. That‚ plus the fact that all the starting and finishing materials are non hazardous and safe‚ is why this is one of the first chemical reactions that many people are exposed to The purpose of this experiment tests which of the two reactants (vinegar and baking soda) is the limited

Mirror Lab One air inhalation hazard I observed during the Mirror Lab tour was for rhodite 906. In a large open room and workspace‚ the mirror lab utilized rhodite frequently to polish large new mirrors. This is concerning because this is a hazardous dust particle with its particle size at about 1.5 micrometers. The movement of these particles are heighted by water mist placed above the mirror to keep the rhodite from solidifying. The employees also sprayed down the mirror frequently which further

Purpose=The purpose of this lab was to combine reactants‚ which we would pick ourself‚ to make 2 grams of Copper Phosphate and another product. Background: Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. Chemistry has to do with many things we use today. For example‚ fireworks are made by the chemical combining magnesium‚ titanium‚ copper‚ aluminum‚ strontium‚ or other periodical elements. Things also like making plastic‚ jewelry

This lab report will be detailing the steps taken and the results discovered when using spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny and the thicknes of the copper layer on the copper-clad penny. After 1982‚ copper coating has been used in the creation of the penny because the cost of pure copper has increase to the point that the amount needed t omake a penny cost far more than the actual value of the penny. This lab allowed us to see just how much copper coating
