The unknown carboxylic acid’s melting point was 108°C according to the Mel-Temp machine. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid precipitate changes into its liquid form upon heating. The melting point of benzoic acid‚ the aromatic carboxylic acid was 122°C. Thus‚ the product contained impurities which caused the solid to melt at a lower temperature than the actual temperature. Pure solids typically melt at higher temperatures while impure solids melt at lower temperatures. This is

of this lab is to identify the physical and chemical properties of four liquids: acetone‚ vinegar‚ hydrogen peroxide‚ and oil. By using our knowledge about the four liquids we needed to identify the components of an unknown mixture. Theoretical Background The liquids commonly found around the house such as acetone‚ vinegar‚ hydrogen peroxide‚ and oil was tested to identify the physical and chemical properties of these liquids. Acetone usually used as nail polish remover dissolves plastic. Vinegar

The Native Hawaiians Right to Self Determination Monikalynn Hawkins ANT 101 Introduction to Cultural Anthropology Dr. Ronald K. Bolender October 22‚ 2009 Ancient Hawaiian genealogy suggests settlement of the islands by Tahitian navigators sometime between A.D. 300 and A.D. 800. (Trask‚ 1993‚ p.4) Before the coming of colonizers‚ the native society was organized as a familial society‚ consisting of tribes and chiefdoms‚ which provided

Discussion In this experiment‚ the molar mass of two volatile liquids – methanol and an unknown liquid – were calculated for through the Dumas Method. Initially‚ the sets of Erlenmeyer flasks with aluminum foil and rubber bands were weighed. Next‚ volatile liquids were placed in 125mL Erlenmeyer flasks and covered with aluminum foil‚ but small holes were made into the foil. The flask was then heated in a water bath until all of the liquid evaporated. The flask was then removed‚ and weighed again after

Identification of Unknown Organic Compound by Melting Point (M.P)‚ Boiling Point (B.P) and Infrared Spectroscopy Methods and Background The main objective of this lab is to identify the given unknown organic compounds with various methods. Identification of an unknown compound is important to perform through the process of melting point (M.P)‚ boiling point (B.P) and Infrared spectroscopy (I.R). Index of Hydrogen deficiency (IHD) and elemental analysis makes an experiment more efficient in

identify a metal‚ each with varying amounts of accuracy. In order to test some of these methods‚ thermal expansion‚ density‚ and specific heat were used to identify two small metal rods. The overall purpose of this experiment was to identify an unknown metal using the three previously stated properties. This means that the percent error should be relatively low‚ meaning that there would be little difference between the values measured in our experiment and the true values of the metal. Density

Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures

Surface Tension Properties of Liquids Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to measure and record the surface tension of water and other aqueous solutions using capillary rise method techniques and practicing lab safety. In this laboratory the surface tension of water depends on the concentration of the following solutes; NaCl‚ acetone‚ and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Intermolecular interactions as well as other phases (solid‚ or air) make a liquid exist. The data collected will show
