Kate Kirby June 6‚ 2013 Title: Extraction of an Unknown Compound Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a mixture of two or more unknown compounds and identify them based on their melting point and reactivity with an acid or a base. Compound studied/Reactions: The organic solvent used in this experiment was methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE‚ 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane). The unknown that dissolved in the MTBE‚ but was insoluble in water. MBTE is very volatile and flammable. It was

Crude oil is a naturally occurring‚ unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits. It is a fossil fuel‚ meaning that it was made naturally from decaying plants and animals. Crude oils vary in color‚ from clear to tar-black‚ and in viscosity‚ from water to almost solid. Crude oil can be refined to produce usable products such as gasoline‚ diesel and various forms of petrochemicals and as such‚ are a useful starting point for many different substances. Crude oil is also a naturally

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves using Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) Abstract The extraction of caffeine (C8H10N402) was done in two parts. The first procedure used was solid-liquid extraction which was done by boiling the tea leaves in 100 ml. distilled water for 5-10 minutes. The filtrate was acquired and was extracted again by liquid-liquid extraction using dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The combined DCM (CH2Cl2) was washed and dried to yield crude caffeine. The crude caffeine was purified

Extraction is a method used for separating and isolating materials. A compound is pulled from solvent A to solvent B and in this case‚ both solvents are miscible. These two concepts are not capable of mixing together; when they are mixed together‚ they form a bilayer. This can be seen when mixing oil and water together. When thinking of extractions‚ one can picture how coffee gets extracted. The flavors‚ molecules‚ caffeine‚ etc. are extracted from the coffee beans. In this experiment‚ a solution

In experiment 5‚ distillation method was used to divide hexane and toluene from a mixture (50:50) of hexane and toluene. Hexane was separated from toluene and was observed from the gas chromatography‚ it showed that hexane increased from 0.0.873 to 0.886 moles. Once the mixture of toluene and hexane hit 70 degrees in the experiment‚ the distillate was used for the gas chromatography. Hexane was higher in the distillate stage. The first drop of condensation appeared at 79°C. The volume of the distillate

Theory: Distillation is the conversion of a mixture of substance into vapors which is afterwards condensed to the liquid form. It cans separation or purification of substances by taking advantage of differences in volatility. The purpose of this lab is comparing the efficiency of two distillation methods with the mixture of ethanol and 1-butanol. in theory the fractional distillation should be more efficient because of the steel sponge. The sponge acted as surface area for gas to condense on. This

JUICE EXTRACTION After weighing‚ sugarcane is loaded by hand or crane onto a moving table. The table carries the cane into one or two sets of revolving knives‚ which chop the cane into chips in order to expose the tissue and open the cell structure‚ thus readying the material for efficient extraction of the juice. Frequently‚ knives are followed by a shredder‚ which breaks the chips into shreds for finer cane preparation. The chipped (and shredded) cane then goes through the crusher‚ a set of roller
