Title of the Experiment: determination of densities Introduction The density of a sample of matter represents the mass contained within a unit volume of space in the sample. For most samples‚ a unit volume means 1.0 ml. The units of density‚ therefore‚ are quoted in terms of grams per milliliter (g/ml) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) for most solid and liquid samples of matter. Density is often used as a point of identification in the determination of an unknown substance. The density

Objective: The objective of the lab is to separate the caffeine samples we are using‚ using thin layer chromatography. The solvent we are using for the separation is 3:1 mixture of Chloroform and Acetone. Principle: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is an important technique that is useful for separating organic compounds. TLC is often used to monitor the progress of organic reactions and to check the purity of products. Separations in Thin layer chromatography involve distributing a mixture of

Introduction Polymers are large macromolecules composed of many small repeating subunits (monomers) connected via covalent bonds. Both natural and synthetic polymers are created via polymerization of these small molecules (Chemistry 144 Writing Assignment information sheet). The chosen polymer‚ polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in the form of Teflon®‚ is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (Wikipedia‚ 2015)‚ and is one of the most well-known brand names for PTFE based formulas‚ owned by

Title: Observation of Macroscopic Chemical Changes‚ Alice Kimbrell‚ Chemistry 101-DS01:74589‚ 5/31/2013. Purpose: In this lab‚ I will observe macroscopic changes that occur when mixing together certain chemicals and household cleaners. The mixing of the chemicals provided with each other and with acid/base indicators demonstrates how matter can change‚ and how chemistry can be seen with the naked eye. By mixing household cleaners with an acid/base indicator I hope to demonstrate how these

These compostable materials are able to break down‚ unlike styrofoam‚ providing a greener environment (3). The seventh principle of green chemistry regarding the use of renewable feedstocks largely focuses on reducing the production of hazardous waste and moving away from petroleum dependence to make products (4). Therefore‚ the environment benefits from replacing synthetic products with mushroom-based

Separating Substances: Identifying Food Dyes with TLC Background The color of food is an integral part of our culture and enjoyment of life. Who would deny the mouth-watering appeal of a deep-pink strawberry ice cream on a hot summer’s day or a golden Thanksgiving turkey garnished with fresh green parsley? Even early civilizations such as the Romans recognized that people "eat with their eyes" as well as their palates. Saffron and other spices were often used to provide a rich yellow color

Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants that consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. They can either launch a reaction or speed it up. Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The catalase used in this experiment will come from five different sources: Spinacia
