Polymer Chemistry Course‚ KTE 080‚ 2014 Patric Jannasch ———————————————————————————————— Laboratory procedures in polymer chemistry Polymer & Materials Chemistry 1. Free Radical Bulk Polymerization of Styrene This protocol describes the bulk polymerization of styrene at 60 oC using 2‚2´azobisisobutyronitril (AIBN) as an initiator. The monomer styrene first has to be purified before it can be used. The purification is performed in order to remove inhibitors and impurities‚ which can

Viscosity of Liquids Part I: Low Viscosities Mona Kanj Harakeh 1 Objectives • To measure and analyze the viscosities of ideal (Toluene/p-Xylene) and nonideal (Methanol/Water) binary solutions and their components. • To determine the Activation Energy to viscous flow. • The effect of temperature change on the viscosity will be studied. Method: The viscosities of liquids are determined by measuring the flow time for various liquids in an Ostwald viscometer. 2 Ostwald viscometer 3

Experiment 9 Thin Layer Chromatography Experiment: 9 Title: Thin Layer Chromatography Introduction: Chemical analysis is conducted on specific analytes (specific substance of interest in a mixture)‚ however it is often found that these analytes must be separated for the chemical analysis to conduct their analysis. Chromatography is a set up of laboratory a technique that is used to separate a chemical mixture. This technique is very useful as it allows us to follow the course of

Gravimetric Analysis of a Chloride Salt CHEM 1001 Purpose: To illustrate typical techniques used in gravimetric analysis by determining quantitatively the chloride content in an unknown soluble salt. Theory: AgCl(s) is a very insoluble solid‚ yet still does have some solubility. Because of these traits‚ the following reaction is able to occur: Ag+(aq) + Cl−(aq) → AgCl(s) . This reaction is able to occur in both directions. When a soluble silver salt such as AgNO3 is added to a solution containing

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the maximum absorbance of fast green‚ and the chlorophylls‚ also in the case of fast green create a concentration curve to determine an unknown substance. Each test will use the spectrophotometer. Spectroscopy is the study of light. A spectrophotometer is a machine used to determine the absorbance of light at any given wavelength. It does this by using a source of white light through a prism‚ which gives multiple wavelengths that

Date Published: 18th Jan 2014 Abstract: This is free radical reaction and reduction of benzophenone occurred by UV irradiation. Free radical on benzophenone due to photo excitation abstract hydrogen from isopropanol and gives benzopinacol and acetone. Chemically benzophenone is 1‚1‚2‚2‚ tetraphenyl 1‚ 2 ethylenediol. Benzopinacol can easily isolate from reaction mixture by suction pump and characterized by using common analytical techniques like UV‚ IR etc. Keywords: Photochemistry‚ benzophenone

is then added as a mordant to form the crystal violet and iodine complex so that the dye cannot be removed easily. This step is usually called fixing the dye. However‚ the next treatment with a decolorizer‚ which is a mixed solvent of ethanol and acetone‚ dissolves the lipid layer from the gram negative cells. The removal of the lipid layer increases the discharge of the primary stain from the cells into the surrounding solvent. On the other hand‚ the solvent dries out the thicker Grampositive cell
