AND PARACETAMOLPRACTICAL REPORT ON THE ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF CODEINE AND PARACETAMOL AIM: To extract codeine and paracetamol from its tablet by solvent extraction and tentatively identify in comparison to standards using Thin Layer Chromatography. INTRODUCTION: Codeine or methyl morphine‚ an alkaloid‚ was first isolated in 1832 from raw opium. It concentration ranges from 0.2% to 0.8%. Mostly used for its analgesic‚ anti-tussive and anti-diarrheal capabilities (Tremlett‚ Anderson

Stereochemistry of Dihydroxylation Reactions Question: Can the stereochemical outcome of dihydroxylation reactions be determined by thin layer chromatography? Overview: In this experiment‚ you will perform two reactions that transform alkenes into diols. While similar in functional group transformation‚ these reactions may lead to stereochemically different products. The two possible products are diastereomers of one another‚ and therefore have different physical chracteristics. After

investigation. Clearly explain the separation technique of paper chromatography in terms of partition. Calculate the Rf value of one of the constituent pigments and compare it to the book value. A paper chromatography was used to separate the pigments that make up chlorophyll to analyse‚ identify‚ and quantify the components‚ using paper (stationary phase – the part of the apparatus that does not move with the sample) and chromatography solvent that was 90% petroleum ether and 10% propanol (mobile

crystal constituents of the compound. Thin layer chromatography can be used as a physical method to segregate compounds from natural sources. E.g. Spinach leaves are visibly green‚ but consist of a variety of components that have more colour than others. This experimental procedure uses compounds from spinach leaves that are exposed to chromatography‚ TLC plate to indicate the different pigments within the spinach extract. ‘Column chromatography in chemistry is a method used to purify individual

Separation of Amino Acids by Paper Chromatography Chromatography is a common technique for separating chemical substances. The prefix “chroma‚” which suggests “color‚” comes from the fact that some of the earliest applications of chromatography were to separate components of the green pigment‚ chlorophyll. You may have already used this method to separate the colored components in ink. In this experiment you will use chromatography to separate and identify amino acids‚ the building blocks of proteins

Yuri Anthony D. Sucgang BMLS-IA Electrophoresis Machine Gel Electrophoresis Apparatus(Aragose Gel) Electrophoresis is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field. Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory procedure used to separate biological molecules with an electrical current. In this lesson‚ we’ll review how agarose gel electrophoresis works and introduce the equipment necessary to perform an electrophoresis experiment.

distillation and gas chromatography based on their difference in boiling points. The boiling point of hexane is 69 degrees Celsius and the boiling point of toluene is 110 degrees Celsius. Three fractions were collected for both simple and fractional distillation. The first fraction was hexane since it had the lower boiling point. The second fraction was a mixture of toluene and hexane. The third fraction was toluene since it had the high boiling point of 110 degrees Celsius. Gas chromatography was also preformed
