Identifying Organic Compounds Joe Harris 11/12/07 1. Background Organic compounds are‚ by definition‚ any chemical compound containing carbon. These compounds include carbohydrates‚ polysaccharides‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. Each one of these compounds has a different purpose. Carbohydrates give energy to cells when consumed. Lipids are basically the

Lab #1 Extraction and Thin Layer Chromatography Kaya Gaudet 6784928 January 9‚ 2013 Line Structure References BenzophenoneBiphenylBenzoic Acid Extraction: A process used to separate different compounds in a mixture based on their solubility in an immiscible substance. Usually an aqueous and organic phase are used. During extraction the desired compound moves one phase and leaves the unwanted substance behind. Extraction normally has to be done a few times to leave all of the impurities

Maggie Mitchell IB Chemistry Prd. 5 THE HALOGENS LAB Date: 9/11/13 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to observe and record the halogens’ (NaF‚ NaCl‚ NaBr‚ and KI) reactions with the chemicals Ca(NO3)2‚ AgNO3‚ and NH4OH and use these observations to identify an unknown halogen. Data: (see next page) TABLE 1: REACTIONS OF HALOGENS WITH CA(NO3)2‚ AGNO3‚ AND NH4OH REACTION NAF NACL NABR KI REACTION W/ CA(NO3)2 solution turns cloudy and precipitate forms clear precipitate

question in this experiment is‚ how can one extract DNA from a strawberry using limited household items. This was accomplished with the prior knowledge that the DNA is stored in the nucleus of the cell‚ and that is an extraction buffer would be needed to acquire the DNA. This experiment had no control group‚ however‚ if there was a control group it might be a group with no extraction buffer. The independent variable in this experiment is the extraction buffer. The dependent variable in this experiment

Rachel Smith Design Lab: Kinetics Lab Introduction: ! Background Information- Effervescent tablets reduce stomach acid and help treat upset stomachs. The familiar fizzing you hear when you drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a glass of water is the result of a chemical reaction. After dropping the tablet into the water‚ the reaction causes the solid tablet to become dissolved and releases tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide. This reduces the time it takes for the medicine to work as it does not need to dissolve

Date: May 22‚ 2012 Name: Cristhian Valor Organic Laboratory Pre-Lab 1. Main reaction sequence including side reaction products: 2. 3 Sentence Summary of the Experiment: The OH group on the benzene ring in salicyclic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. Thus the formation of acetylsalicyclic acid (aspirin) is referred to as an esterification reaction‚ which requires the presence of H+ (H2SO4 in our case). The technique used to purify the aspirin content

Extraction of DNA from Cheek Cells Gene Smith February 29th 2013 INTRODUCTION DNA‚ deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is the genetic material of every living organism and is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. DNA is often called the ‘blueprint for life’ because it contains the necessary information to carry out all the living processes of the cell (1).The purpose of this lab was to extract DNA from human cheek cells. The isolated DNA could be used inmapping or sequencing‚ PCR‚ crime scene investigation

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Introduction Caffeine is soluble in boiling water and as a result it is easily extracted from tea bags by steeping in hot water. This process leaves behind the water insoluble portions of the tea bag. However‚ water extracts more than just caffeine‚ so a final separation is done with an organic solvent that will dissolve primarily caffeine. The organic solvent used in this experiment is Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂). Dichloromethane is less polar than water

IB1 Chemistry Practical #8 ANALYSIS OF ASPIRIN TABLETS For a long time the bark of the willow tree (salix alba) was used as a traditional medicine to relieve the fever symptoms of malaria. In the 1860’s chemists showed that the active ingredient in willow bark is salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) and by 1870 salicylic acid was in wide use as a pain killer (analgesic) and fever depressant (antipyretic). However‚ because it is a relatively strong acid‚ salicylic acid has the undesirable side effect
