RECRYSTALLIZATION AND MELTING POINT DETERMINATION OF BENZOIC ACID ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. How does the use of fluted filter paper hasten filtration? Why is it advisable to place a small piece of wire between the funnel and the mouth of the flask during hot filtration? Fluted filter paper is effective in preventing crystal formation in the filter paper. It is also often used in filtering hot saturated solution used during crystallization. One major advantage of a fluted filter is that it increases

Catalase Experiment Research Question: How does the weight of a piece of liver (0.4g‚ 0.8g‚ 1.2g and 1.6g in this case) affect the amount of gas created after 2 minutes when combined with hydrogen peroxide? Aim: To see find out how the amount of catalase correlates with the amount of gas created when in combination with hydrogen peroxide. Materials: 15g of liver 25 ml of hydrogen peroxide 1 scale 1 bucket 1 100ml graduated cylinder 1 250ml flask with bung 1 50cm tube (able to fix onto top of flask)

tablets. In the experiment they first tested how long an Alka-Seltzer tablet would dissolve in cold water ( 9 degrees) then repeated it two more times in order to calculate a mean. Then using a hot plate to heat the water‚ they tested another tablet in the hot water (51 degrees) to see how long it would take to dissolve and again did it two more times to calculate a mean. Finally they tested another tablet in water left on the hot plate for thirty-seconds (81 degrees)‚ preformed the experiment for two more

Abstract: This experiment will determine if jumping beans are alive. We tested two groups. Group A and B. We put them in two different areas. Three beans were put in a lit area and three were put in a shaded area. It was found that if the depending on how lit the area is the more movement we saw from the jumping bean. Therefore it can be said that jumping beans are alive and respond to stimuli. Introduction: This Experiment “ Mexican Jumping Beans” focuses on how jumping beans respond to different

called the Non-inverting input ( + ) which preserves the phase‚ and an output terminal. Figure below shows the standard symbol of an op-amp: There are many types of op-amp but its either operate as positive feedback or negative feedback. In this experiment‚ negative feedback op-amp is used at which there is a portion of the output that is fed back to the inverting terminal to establish the fixed gain for the amplifier. Any differential voltage across the input terminals of the op-amp is multiplied

For this experiment‚ we started off by taking tubes numbered 1-4 and started adding one scoop of our enzyme catalyst‚ in this case‚ the yeast. We then proceeded to measure and add 1 mL of distilled water to test tubes A-D. To get a more accurate measure of 1 mL of distilled water‚ we used the dropper labeled “W” to drop distilled water into the 5 mL graduated cylinder until we saw that the bottom of the water line reached closely to 1 mL. Next‚ we took the four tubes with the scoop of yeast and

Microbiology Sec 147848 November 18‚ 2013 Title of the Experiment: Enterobacteriaceae Identification: The Enterotube II System Learning Objectives: After completing this exercise we were able to inoculate an unknown bacterium that belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae by using technology effectively with a Enterotube II. An Enterotube II is a miniaturized multi-test system for rapid identification of enterbacteriaceae. We then evaluated the test results and generated a five-digit code for the unknown

Abstract The objective of this experiment was to observe multi-step purification of benzoic acid after performing the extraction from a mixture containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange. Recrystallization was done to remove impurities from the sample. The amount of BA recovered during recrystallization is much less than the extracted amount of BA. The difference between the pure and impure samples was observed by comparison of melting points. It was found that impure samples will have

Recrystallization and Melting Point Determination W. H. Bunnelle‚ L. A. Meyer‚ R. E. Glaser (Version 3) Introduction Consider what happens when a solid material is placed in a solvent in which it has a low solubility. Not much! A small fraction of the solid will dissolve‚ but the rest will just sit there. (Actually‚ it doesn’t just ’sit there’ since an equilibrium is in effect‚ with solid molecules going into solution‚ and an equivalent number of dissolved molecules reforming solid‚ but we
