Abstract Chemically active extraction was used to separate two unknown compounds from each other and to determine what compound class each compound belongs. The solid unknown was purified by recrystallization and its melting point range was determined to be 109-111°C. The liquid unknown was purified by simple distillation and its boiling point was determined to be 95°C. An IR spectrum was collected for each of the purified compounds; the solid was determined to be 3-toluic acid and the liquid was

Experiment # 8 Qualitative Analysis of Cations Objectives Part I: Separate a mixture of known cations: Pb2+‚ Fe3+‚ Al3+‚ Cu2+‚ and Ca2+ into individual ions. Perform a series of tests to become familiar with reactions characteristic of each cation. Part II: Separate and identify individual cations in an unknown solution containing a mixture of up to five cations. Use information gathered in part I to identify the cations. Introduction Qualitative analysis is a general name for the process
