Purpose: In this lab‚ a mixture of naphthalene (C10H8)‚ common table salt (NaCl)‚ and sea sand (SiO2) will be separated using the separation techniques in order to demonstrate the properties of mixtures and their ability to be separated by physical means. INTRODUCTION: This lab was based on the separation of the components of a mixture. A mixture can be defined as a physical combination of two or more pure substances. Separation techniques are used to separate components that are not chemically

ALCOHOLS Alcohols are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by an -OH group. For the purposes of UK A level‚ we will only look at compounds containing one -OH group. For example: Primary alcohols In a primary (1°) alcohol‚ the carbon which carries the -OH group is only attached to one alkyl group Some examples of primary alcohols include: Secondary alcohols In a secondary (2°) alcohol‚ the carbon with the -OH group attached is joined directly to

Exercise 5 INTRODUCTION TO STEREOCHEMISTRY I. Introduction Stereochemistry is concerned with the shapes of molecules and how the differences in shapes can effect the properties and reactions of compounds. Subtle differences in molecular shape have far – reaching consequences and it is probably the field of molecular biology that a full awareness of molecular shapes has emerged. A knowledge of the molecular shapes of such vital compounds as sugars‚ amino acids‚ and proteins is essential

Majed Al Dhwaihi Chem 151 Lab Prelab Assignment for week 3 Chemical Separation Procedure: Separating the sample: First place a small amount of the spinach provided in the mortar‚ just enough to cover its bottom; combined with the sand provided to break down the call walls. A 1:1 mixture of hexane and acetone was determined to best solvent for this extraction. Knowing this add one mL of the pure hexane and one mL of the pure acetone to the mortar. Grind the contents until the cell walls

Sunny Patel Chem 101 10-13-09 Introduction The objective of this lab was to show how stoichiometry is applied to a specific chemical reaction. Stoichiometry is pretty much the math behind chemistry. Doing stoichiometry can calculate masses‚ moles‚ and percents with a chemical equation. The use of stoichiometry is how we were able to find the limiting reagent in this lab. A limiting reagent is the chemical that will be used up first. Many calculations had to be made throughout this lab

Introduction Methyl Salicylate has been used for a long time for its pleasant odour and flavour. The objective of this experiment was to carry an organic synthesis; the preparation of salicylic acid from methyl salicylate. To do an organic synthesis‚ it is needed to chemically modify the molecules of another compound to end up with the desire compound. Methyl salicylate is the major constituent of wintergreen oil‚ which is why it was used in this experiment as the starting material. The new technique
