the nineteenth century‚ the time in which Romanticism had a significant influence upon literature. The literary genre of romanticism has six main components: the individual‚ imagination‚ personal and social intuition‚ nature‚ emotion‚ and the unknown. The unknown is typically portrayed as death as throughout the time period in which Romanticism was prominent as death was a mystery. While humans can understand the events that occur whilst they live‚ they know nothing of what happens during death or after

a known quantity of solid dissolved in solution. It may also be used to calculate the molar mass of an unknown acid or base. Purpose: I. Prepare a standard solution of sodium hydroxide II. Standardize a sodium hydroxide solution by using potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) III. When given whether the acid is monoprotic‚ diprotic‚ or triprotic ‚ determine the molar mass of the unknown organic acid. IV. Calculate the Molarity of the Soft drink. Materials: * 50 mL Buret

In the unknown identification labs‚ we have identified our unknown as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is Gram negative and rod shaped that we found to be motile in the lab. Our strain of P. aeruginosa formed colonies that were round in shape and had scalloped margins on nutrient agar. On our agar slant‚ the P. aeruginosa colonies had a filiform appearance on the edges. I think we correctly identified our unknown as P. aeruginosa because we performed several different tests‚ eleven

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

I believe that the Unknown Soldier deserves just as much appreciation. The Wreath Ceremony would be an amazing honor to participate in and honor the Unknown Soldier and all this Soldier has given to protect us. This is truly an honor for whoever is chosen‚ I personally want to participate in the Wreath Ceremony because

The unknown carboxylic acid’s melting point was 108°C according to the Mel-Temp machine. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid precipitate changes into its liquid form upon heating. The melting point of benzoic acid‚ the aromatic carboxylic acid was 122°C. Thus‚ the product contained impurities which caused the solid to melt at a lower temperature than the actual temperature. Pure solids typically melt at higher temperatures while impure solids melt at lower temperatures. This is

Purpose: The purpose of this was to determine the concentration of sodium carbonate in an unknown sample by titration. The solution of hydrochloric acid was prepared and standardized using Na2CO3. Observations: Week 1: Standardizing hydrochloric acid using sodium carbonate with bromocresol green indicator Table 1: Titration of sodium carbonate using hydrochloric acid Trial | Mass of Na2CO3 (g) | Burette Reading (mL) | Final Volume of HCl (mL) | | | Initial | Final | | 1

Goals The main goal of this project is to learn how to identify the properties of an unknown ionic compound. In order to do this successfully the group has to use a variety of methods and run several tests on the unknown compound. By doing this the group will be able to identify the different chemical and physical properties of the compound that will help obtain the identity of the specific compound given. The group will devise two syntheses of the compound‚ and compare them for cost effectiveness
