OBJECTIVE The main objective of this experiment is to carry out qualitative analysis to identify metal cations in unknown solution 1. INTRODUCTION An unknown material can be determined by using simple chemical tests and separations which is called as inorganic qualitative analysis. The separation of cations depends on the difference in their propensity to form precipitates. Separation scheme is used to classify cation into five groups on the basis of their physical and chemical behavior opposed

Ocean County College Department of Chemistry Identification of Metallic Ions Purpose: The purpose of this lab exercise was to perform and observe the flame tests of some alkali and alkaline earth metal ions. When electrons in metallic ions are grounded‚ their configuration is stable. In other words‚ the loosely bound electrons in the valence shell of the atom are satisfied at their “low” energy state. They do not require to be balanced by emitting any type of radiation or receiving any

Christy Chan (5) BIOLOGY LAB REPORT Investigation of the effect of metal ions on enzyme activity Objective To study the effect of two heavy metal ions‚ lead (II) ions and silver ions on the enzyme activity of invertase. Introduction Hypothesis: The rate of enzyme reaction of invertase decreases and the reaction eventually stops as the heavy metal ions inhibit the enzyme reactions. Biological principle: Heavy metal ions are non-competitive inhibitors. They do not compete with the substrates

Experiments with Metals and Ions of Metals Introduction Metals are similar in their physical properties in general‚ but they are not identical. Most of the metals are solids; few of them are liquids‚ such as mercury and cesium. Density of metals is not similar also. For example‚ sodium has density of 0.97g/cm3 while lead has density of 11.4g/cm3. Melting point of sodium is 98.0oC while for lead it is 327.6oC. Metals have the capability to lose electrons when they react with non-metals such as

EXPERIMENT 1 IDENTIFICATION OF UNKNOWN COMPOUNDS Date of experiment : 7th August 2012 Venue: ME204 INTRODUCTION Chemical reactions are regularly categorized into 3 types: oxidation-reduction (redox reaction)‚ precipitation (double displacement) and acid-base reaction (double displacement) Type 1: Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Oxidation-reduction processes include the movements of electrons form oxidants to reductants‚ which lead to increases in oxidation

ability to identify metals is an extremely important one. With this ability‚ we can correctly assign different traits‚ and use the metal in its most suitable environment. This is important to many industries‚ where metals play an increasingly large role. Determining the identity of the metal is paramount to determining what conditions to use the metal under. This seemly simple task is‚ however‚ can be quite complex‚ as there are many ways by which one can identify a metal‚ each with varying amounts

spectrometry. We will do this by making 2‚ 4 a DNPH derivative and checking the melting points. Theory: By Using specific methods of compounds detection‚ we can match an unknown compound with a known compound because similar compounds will display similar characteristics. In this experiment‚ identifications of the unknown ketone was accomplished using thin layer chromatography‚ melting point‚ and NMR spectrometry. Thin layer chromatography is very quick but sensitive way of determining the components

Objective: To successfully separate and identify all three unknown cations‚ found in a mixture and belonging to one of two specific groups (2 from one and 1 from the other). In order to do this we will be using various tests and reactions and observing the effect they had on our solution.
