sciencebyjones.com/safety_rules.htm Thanks to the Flinn Scientific Safety Rules for much of the below. General Guidelines 1. Conduct yourself in a responsible manner at all times in the laboratory. 2. Be familiar with your lab assignment before you come to lab. Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully. If you do not understand a direction or part of a procedure‚ ask the teacher before proceeding. 3. Never work alone. No student may work in the laboratory without an instructor

soil from the site and then take several other samples from different points on the site. This ensures variety of soil to ensure that all the site is safe‚ not just a small area where you would have taken your first sample from. I will return to the lab with the samples of soil I have extracted from the site. Here I will make a solution from the samples in order to carry out the identification tests. In order to turn my soil samples

The experiment: Classification tests on Organic Compounds‚ allows the students to be familiarized with different classification tests used for identifying the different classes of organic compounds; examine unknown compounds using appropriate tests; and identify functional group of an organic compound based on the tests performed. Several organic compounds with different functional groups were tested to identify the functional groups present in the compound. n-heptane‚ pentene‚ benzene‚ heptanol

------------------------------------------------- MELTING POINT AND BOILING POINT OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT The melting point (MP) and the boiling point (BP) are probably the most widely used physical constant in the field of science. Determining the boiling point and the melting point of a compound helps you to characterize an unknown solid in a quick‚ easy and cheap way. The temperature at which a compound turns from a solid state to a liquid state is known to be the

The Physical Properties of Eleven Chemical Compounds Problem: Discover whether various chemical compounds are molecular or ionic and if they are acidic or basic. Hypothesis: If the compound is ionic‚ then it will be soluble because the energy given off water molecules compensates for the energy needed to break ionic bonds‚ also‚ if the compound is Ionic‚ it will be an electrolyte‚ because they mostly break up into ions when in water. If the compound is molecular‚ then it will be soluble‚ it cannot

Organic Chemistry I Simple and Fractional Distillation The Simple and Fractional distillation experiment was divided into two parts. We split up the procedure in this experiment. My group did the simple distillation and we received the Fractional distillation from another group in class. In this experiment‚ we examined the effectiveness of fractional and simple distillation to determine which is more successful at extracting a pure sample. This experiment was very successful. We are able to

Esterification Lab Introduction Esterification is an important part of organic chemistry that has many practical applications. Esterification can be used to make polymers. In most cases‚ esters are used for scents – they often smell fruity and sweet. In general‚ an esterification reaction results from a condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The carboxylic acid group loses an OH group‚ and the alcohol loses and H. For instance‚ the reaction between methanoic acid and methanol
