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 determined in the experiment that the unknown was

9 October 16‚ 2012 Identifying Organic Compounds Objective: To use indicators to test for the presence of organic compounds in certain substances. Theory: Major types of organic compounds in some common foods are Lipids‚ Carbohydrates‚ and Proteins. An indicator is a chemical compound that changes color and structure when exposed to certain conditions and is therefore useful for chemical tests. The purpose of using distilled water as one of the substances in the test is that it’s the control;

Flame Test Lab Introduction/Purpose: When a certain amount of energy is supplied within an atom‚ the electrons of that atom begin to move up the levels of electron configuration. This level of energy is called a quantum. The object of this experiment was to examine the movement of electrons up and down energy levels through the use of given elemental substances. With heat supplying a large amount of energy‚ the properties of the elements caused them to give off a certain color or tone of

Flame Tests By: Jordan Anthony‚ Zack Balog‚ and Evan Degraw Regents Chemistry class‚ Union Springs High School‚ 4th period January 19/2015 The purpose of this lab was to see what colors are characteristic of particular metallic ions in a flame test and use their characteristic color to identify other elements. Another purpose is to understand how fireworks work. This experiment will help one understand how a flame test is performed and that every metal has a unique bright

Livana Partners : Rachel Gideon‚ Joy Boake‚ Hannah Harper Various Color of Light as the Effect of Electron Emission Objective Observe the characteristic colors produced by certain metallic ions when vaporized in a flame. Identify the unknown metallic ions by means of its flame tests. Background When atoms absorb energy‚ electrons move into higher energy levels‚ and these electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels. Energy levels are fixed energies that electrons

I. Abstract The common organic compounds provide us with nutrients are sugars and starches‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and lipids. In this lab‚ qualitative tests are performed to identify the presence of organic compounds in food using indicators‚ chemical substances that react in a certain way when a particular substance is present. We put one indicator into the each test tube containing different solutions at a time to see what organic compound is present. The color change in the indicator tells

ACTIVITY FLAME TEST Summary The purpose of this lab was to see how different compounds can change color while in a flame and with this color‚ I can identify the compound. The test involve putting sample element and see what color appears. Also Thermal excited electron goes from low to high energy level which raises the color but when the excitation ends electron gets to lower level which makes the color back to normal. In order to determine the identity of several unknowns‚ I will perform flame tests

A metal is a solid material which is either an element‚ a compound or an alloy. Metals share some common properties like being typically hard and shiny‚ and that metals are good electrical and thermal conductors. They are generally malleable‚ fusible and ductile. In a periodic table of elements‚ there are six groups of metals and two of them are the most common. It is the Alkali Metals and the Alkaline Earth Metals. Alkali metals comprise the group 1 elements. They are similarly shiny‚ soft
