Identifying Organic Compounds 2. Purpose/Problem: I am doing this experiment to find out what kind of organic compounds are in test tubes A‚ B‚ C and D. I am curious to know if substance D was the lipid because it seemed thin and had a slightly yellow tint of color to it. 3. Research: In my research I was informed about facts and appearances of lipids. First of all lipids are non-polar compounds‚ thus they won’t dissolve in water. This is also known as being hydrophobic. They are made with one

Lab 6: Organic Compound Analysis Isabella O’Toole CHY 116 Friday 1:15-4:00 Lab Conducted on 4-12-13 and 4-19-13 4-26-13 This lab was conducted in order to determine the chemical composition of an unknown organic acid. A known mass of acid was dissolved into 30mL of either water or methanol (depending on solubility) and titrated with standardized sodium hydroxide. Data from this allowed the molar

Physical properties can be seen‚ touched‚ or even measured without the identity of the substance changing. The identity of the substance can be its shape or color. Three physical forms of a substance are solid‚ liquid‚ and gas. Water for example can transform into all three physical forms without its identity changing. The characteristic of water as a shape can be used as an example of a physical property. Water can be frozen into ice‚ vaporized‚ or liquidized. The shape of water as a solid is

COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Abstract Organic compunds were examined to a comparative investigation to differentiate the properties of each sample. The physical state at room temperature‚ odor and color of the sample were noted by simple observation. In terms of solubility in H2O‚ 5% NaOH solution and 5% HCl solution‚ the samples were classified as to miscible‚ slightly immiscible or immiscible for liquid; and very soluble‚ soluble‚ partially soluble or insolubse for solid. The

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

The Separation and Purification of Organic Compounds Sunshine Marie Introduction Each year‚ many thousands of new or unknown organic compounds are prepared or extracted from natural sources such as plants‚ fungi and animals. In order to identify an unknown organic compound or the components of a mixture of organic compounds‚ it is necessary firstly to separate and purify the compounds. At any given temperature‚ a certain number of molecules of a substance in the liquid state have sufficient

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have become the greatest challenges to the preservation of the environment today. This group of chemicals is used in almost every sphere of life from industries‚ government institutions and domestically by both an ignorant and knowledgeable public. This paper aims to put to light examples of such compounds‚ look at the effect on the general populace and the environment and outline possible remedies to negative impacts. At the same time‚ it is important to look at

VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (10244818) Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemical compounds that have high enough vapor pressures under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter the atmosphere. According to EPA ’s Terms of the Environment‚ a volatile organic compound is "any organic compound that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions except those designated by EPA as having negligible photochemical reactivity." VOC can also stand for the term “volatile organic chemical”
