Naming Chemical Compounds General Information: Scientists all around the globe use a standard method for naming chemical compounds. The standards were set up by an international committee sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Having this standard makes life easier for people who use these compounds everyday. It would be tough to set up any experiment if scientists everywhere used different names for the same compound. It would also make the lab a

There are thousands of compounds which have been discovered‚ and are yet to be discovered‚ with all these possible combinations it is necessary to provide order through a systematic naming system. This naming system‚ aside from organization also provides the reader with information about the given element. There are different kinds of compounds‚ ionic‚ covalent‚ and acidic and over all of this the atoms making up the compounds are either binary or polyatomic. The simplest compounds to name are binary

Recrystallization is used for the purification of solid compounds. The recrystallization process relies on the fact that majority of compounds are more soluble in hot solvent than in cold. The hot saturated solution containing the compound will have unwanted impurities and will be filtered out and cooled to produce the pure crystal constituents of the compound. Thin layer chromatography can be used as a physical method to segregate compounds from natural sources. E.g. Spinach leaves are visibly

Chemical Reaction of copper compounds Introduction: In this experiment‚ the objective was to conduct a series of chemical reactions that contain copper or copper compounds. That is to say that the products of each chemical reaction were used in the next reaction. The process starts with a solid copper wire dissolved in nitric acid and the end product is copper powder. The product which was used from the previous reaction is the limiting. In the initial step‚ the solid copper is the limiting reactant
