can be used. Fractional distillation uses a column that allows many small distillations to occur as the vapor ascends the fractional distillation column. Purpose: In this experiment we aim to demonstrate that we can separate two volatile compounds from a mixture due to the different chemical properties of each compound. We will accomplish this by a separation procedure known as distillation‚ which relies on each compound having a distinct and separate boiling point. Our pure products will be analyzed

Introduction When extracting lipids or fats from foods‚ both the method as well as the solvents chosen to perform a complete‚ or close to complete extraction are important. If these two elements are not taken into consideration‚ the extraction may not be complete‚ or the extract may contain a large quantity of undesired impurities. The natural fats and oil are mixtures of glycerides of fatty acids. Fats and oils are naturally occurring organic compounds which belong to a large group of water insoluble

Research Question: What are the percent concentrations of Fe3+ ions by mass in fresh parsley and spinach leaves? Scientific Concept Colorimeter measures the absorbance of light by the chemical substances at a certain wavelength. By measuring the absorbance‚ the concentration of a chemical substance can be determined. For the calibration of the colorimeter‚ different concentrations of a standard solution and a control (distilled water) are prepared in cuvettes. These cuvettes are put into the colorimeter

Leonida‚ Renee Theresa ABSTRACT This activity observes the DNA present in onion (Allium cepa) and human cheek cells by extracting it with the addition of lysis buffer and chilled ethanol. The lysis buffer is prepared from squeezed onion mixed with salt and Pantene Pro-V Shampoo. The buffer degrades the

1.0 TITLE Extraction of Phenol and Flavanoid compound of the edible brown seaweed species (Eucheuma Cottonii). 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 An overview of Seaweed Macro-algae or “seaweeds” are multicellular plants growing in salt or fresh water. They belong to the lower plants‚ meaning that they do not have roots‚ stems and leaves. Instead they are composed of a thallus (leaf-like) and sometimes a stem and a foot (holdfast). Some species have gas-filled structures to provide buoyancy. They are often

carrageenans are extracted from red seaweed and assume a gelatinous structure. [pic] Figure 1.Different types of carrageenan. They differ in structure‚ properties and uses. Production of carrageenan‚ particularly κ-carrageenan can be done in either of two ways. The first method‚ which is considered as the original one‚ involves the extraction of carrageenan into an aqueous solution‚ filtration to remove the seaweed residue and finally‚ the recovery of the carrageenan from the solution. Hence‚

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Jaybee Balilea‚ Sharmaine Baysic‚ and Maria Anjelette Patricia Belen 3BIO7‚ Department of Biology‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Extraction is a technique for isolating and purifying organic substances. In this technique‚ a solution is combined thoroughly with a second solvent that is immiscible with the first solvent. The solute is extracted from one solvent into the other because it is more soluble in the second solvent

Bioinformatics Leigh Ann Santana DNA Extraction Lab DNA extraction is an important process because the DNA first needs to be purified away from proteins and other cellular contaminants. Cell are needed‚ because that is where the DNA is located. Inside almost every cell in our bodies is a nucleus‚ and inside each nucleus is about two meters of DNA. The following steps are needed to purify DNA from a cheek swab. Collect cheek cells‚ Burst cells open to release DNA‚ separate DNA from proteins and debris‚ and

Biodegradable Plastic from Gabi Leaves By: Mickaela Olan 9-Apple PLASTIC • A plastic material is any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable. Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass‚ but they often contain other substances. They are usually synthetic‚ most commonly derived from petrochemicals‚ but many are partially natural. ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC: • Advantages of plastic are light in weight. • They can be easily moulded and have

Discussion: Extraction and crystallization- The purpose of this lab was to extract and crystallize compounds in a mixture using acids and bases. 1 gram of the unknown was dissolved into 30 mL of ethyl acetate. The mixture was then transferred to a separatory funnel. Using aqueous solutions of different pH we were able to separate organic acids‚ bases and neutral compounds from each other. Using three 10 mL portions of HCl‚ we reacted the HCl with the base in solution. This made it possible to
