Lab 5 Column Chromatography: Isolation of Lycopene from Tomato Paste Reading: Zubrick‚ pages 79-82‚ 127-130‚ 138-139‚ 141-143‚ and 235-240 Pre-lab: look up the structure of lycopene. Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and‚ as an antioxidant‚ helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from

acid-catalyzed dehydration of 1-butanol and 2-butanol using sulfuric acid and a dehydrobromination under basic conditions using potassium tert-butoxide of 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane. The products of all four reactions will be analyzed with gas chromatography‚ which separates organic compounds to see how each reaction’s product are formed under the constraints of stereochemistry and regiochemistry. In a general elimination reaction‚ an atom or group of atoms is removed from a carbon‚ along with an

the retention time of polar molecules is shorter because they pass through the column faster. Reversed phase HPLC is the most commonly used form of HPLC which separate solutes based on non-polar differences. In this experiment‚ reverse phase chromatography was used. The more polar antioxidant is expected to elute first due to the weak attraction to the non-polar column. Figure 2 below shows the structures of the two antioxidants. Both antioxidants contain a benzene ring and a hydroxyl group. However

the sample for gas chromatography. Introduction: Distillation has been used since antiquity to separate the components of mixtures. This method has been used to manufacture different organic chemicals but the most recent application is the refining of petroleum in order to produce fuels‚ lubricants and petrochemicals. In this experiments‚ the separation of 2 distilates were carried out using the differences in boiling points and the data was used for a gas chromatography test. Objectives:

of this lab is to determine which pigments in a plant support or effect photosynthesis‚ based on starch production‚ which wavelengths of light are involved in photosynthesis‚ and identify plant pigments found in a plant leaf by means of paper chromatography. Life on Earth is dependent entirely on the energy from the Sun‚ not only to keep the planet at a suitable temperature but also to provide the energy required to sustain life. The energy of the Sun‚ in the form of photons‚ is actively captured

Mario Renteria Mrs. Weathers Chem 04a 27 Jan‚ 2012 Lab Report Introduction: A popular technique in separating components of a mixture is paper chromatography. We use paper chromatography to separate mixtures and isolate there components to collect them individually. In this experiment‚ we will use acid- base indicators to help determine the unknown mixture. Acid- base indicators will change in color when the presence of pHs rise and fall when acids or bases are added to a solution. After setting
