Chemistry 266 Dominick Armstrong 10/10/2012 Acid-Base Titration Introduction Acid and bases are two important classes of compounds that react to form a salt and water. When mixing acids and bases a precise amount of the base must be added in order to reach the equivalence point. At this point‚ one reactant has been exactly consumed by the addition of the other reactant. When performing chemical reactions chemist use a process called titration to determine the equivalence point of the

Is Higher Education Worth the Price? The question of whether or not higher education is actually “worth it” is an entirely subjective on. To objectively determine if higher education will give a high return on investment‚ one needs to first understand what they are hoping to gain out of the entire experience. Higher education does worth the price because it helps students to build their self-fulfillment‚ provide more monetary opportunities and reach their final goal . In the United States‚ for

Experiment 3: Isolation of Chlorophyll from Spinach and Chromatography Performed February 14th and 16th By Kyle Herzog Organic Chemistry 344 Section 807 Spring 2012 Objective: The purpose of the experiment is to extract pigments from spinach leaves and separate them by column and thin layer chromatography‚ determining Rf values for the pigments. Equations: Rf= Distance travelled by a given compound/Distance travelled by a solvent solution 1. Crude- 4.25/5.5= 0.773 2. Carotene-

Alkaline Phosphatase was isolated using various techniques. BCIP spot test was performed after the anion exchange chromatography was done and the fractions were collected. The picture of BCIP spot test of the 20 fractions can be seen in figure 1. The intensity of each spot was different from each other. The more intense color the spot was‚ the more concentrate the AP was. The fractions were chosen to combine together based on the intensity‚ which made the stage 4 enzyme. Different volumes in each

Bleach Oxidation of 9-Hydroxyfluorene The purpose of this experiment was to oxidize an alcohol (9-hydroxyfluorene) to a ketone (9-fluorenone) using aqueous sodium hypochlorite (bleach) as the oxidizing agent‚ while introducing techniques used in microscale experiments. Reaction: Results 1. Recrystallized Product Yield Product yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100% 3mL 9-hydroxyfluorene x (1mL/1000mL) x (0.09 mol/L) = 2.7 x 10-4 moles 0.05g 9-fluorenone / (180.20g/mol) = 2.77 x 10-4

Experiment 1: TLC Analysis of Analgesic Drugs 1/23/2011 Purpose: The goal of this experiment is to test our knowledge and understanding of TLC analysis by having us do a TLC analysis of analgesics to figure out their main chemical components. Calculations: 1.) Rf = Distance spot traveled/ distance solvent traveled Results: Table 1: TLC Analysis Analgesic Drugs | Rf Value | Acetaminophen | 0.323 | Aspirin | 0.597 | Caffeine | 0.081 | Unknown 154 (Plate 1) | 0.081‚ 0.306‚ 0.597

3.6. Conclusion Various solvent extracts from mahua flower and fruits showed varying degrees of antioxidant activity in different test systems in a dose-dependent manner. The antioxidant activity was correlated with the amount of total phenolics present in the respective extracts in each assay. 50% acetone proved to be the most efficient solvent for extraction of antioxidants from mahua as the related extract contained the highest amount of phenolic compounds and also exhibited the strongest antioxidant

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

Abstract: The optical and photocatalytic properties of Nb2O5 sculptured thin films (STF) are investigated. Films are synthesized via sol- gel route using spin coating technique. The sol is prepared from niobium ethoxide. The films are prepared at different rpm to tailor the thickness. The structures of the films are investigated through XRD measurements. Refractive index‚ extinction coefficient and thickness of the films are determined from Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometery. The absorbance
