Post Lab #4- Column Chromatography Organic Chem 3418-2 March 3‚ 2011 Theoretical Background- The fluorene and fluorenone mixture was separated by first dissolving the mixture in heptane. Since “like dissolves like”‚ fluorene dissolves with the non-polar heptane and the polar fluorenone dissolves in the polar ethyl acetate solvent. This phenomenon was illustrated in class before the experiment‚ when it was pointed out why water will not dissolve fluorene‚ fluorenone‚ or transstilbene

Lab 4: Photosynthesis and Chromatography of Spinach Leaves Discussion: The chromatography of the spinach leaves was taken to establish what pigments were present in the chloroplasts of the leaves. The solvent carried and separated the different pigments up the cellulose paper. The solvent moved up the paper because of capillary action because of adhesion of the solvent molecules and the paper. The pigments dissolved in the solvent also were carried up the paper and were separated because

Introduction Flash-Column Chromatography is another useful technique used to separate and purify complex mixtures of compounds. In this experiment‚ TLC is used to determine the best solvent system for the column. Due to Flash-Column Chromatography1 being an inexpensive technique‚ many scientist use this process for drug and natural product purification. Method By using the information from Experiment 6B‚ the TLC solvent system used was 30% EtOAc: 70% Hex. Experiment 7 was broken into two parts‚

Organic Chem II Lab 2/15/15 Friedel-Crafts Acylation of Ferrocene and Column Chromatography Introduction: The intention of this lab is to analyze the formation of acetylferrocene using column chromatography. The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction created acetylferrocene and diacetylferrocene‚ using phosphoric acid as a catalyst for the reaction between acetic anhydride and ferrocene (once applying heat). During column chromatography‚ a solution is passed through a filtration system of silica‚ sand‚

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-

Organic Chemistry Laboratory I Experiment #6 - Column and Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) of a Spinach Extract Pre-Lab Assignment (1) List 5 ways that TLC can be used in an organic chemistry lab experiment. To identify an unknown‚ to monitor the course of a reaction and assess the purity of its product‚ to determine the best solvent for a column chromatography separation‚ to determine the somposition of each fraction from a column chromatography separation‚ and to determine whether a substance

Chromatography – Analyzing Analgesics by TLC and Isolation of β-Carotene by Column Chromatography Introduction/Background: Flavonoids are an important group of additives that can be defined as pure substances either natural‚ extracted from raw materials or synthetic. Chromatography is the separation of two or more compounds or ions caused by their molecular interactions with two phases – one moving and one stationary (Weldegirma 2012). Three types of chromatography are used

Chromatography (Greek for ‘colour writing’) is used to describe various methods applied to separate mixtures (referred to as the sample of the experiment) with great accuracy to analyze them. By using chromatography we can manipulate these to move at different speeds through the system‚ thus separating them. Chromatography is necessary in chemical industries‚ as well as bio processing companies. Chromatography can be: 1. analytical: used to measure ratios of analytes(substance in simpler forms)
