called extraction. Extraction is a systematic process of separating mixtures of compounds‚ taking advantage of the affinity differences of compounds to separate them (Padias 128-37). This technique recognizes the principle that “like dissolves in like‚” that is‚ polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. Through extension of this principle‚ one can use extraction to separate compounds of a mixture. There are three different methods of extraction; solid-liquid

SOP: Solid phase extraction of cylindrospermopsin in filtered water samples Document identifier: SOP_TOXIC_UDU_05F Prepared by: James S. Metcalf and Geoffrey A. Codd‚ UDU Date: 7 July 2005 1 Introduction In order to determine the concentration of cylindrospermopsin in the extracellular fraction of filtered environmental waters‚ solid phase extraction (SPE) is necessary to concentrate the toxin to concentrations capable of being detected by HPLC. 2 Experimental 2.1 Materials

A. Comparison of Volatility by Rate of Evaporation Volatility describes how easily a substance will vaporize (turn into a gas or vapor). A volatile substance can be defined as (1) a substance that evaporates readily at normal temperatures and/or (2) one that has a measurable vapor pressure. The vapor pressure of a substance is the pressure at which its gaseous (vapor) phase is in equilibrium with its liquid or solid phase. It is a measure of the tendency of molecules and atoms to escape from a liquid

Discussion: Impure caffeine was extracted from the instant coffee by separation and evaporation. The amount of impure caffeine in 4.0045g of instant coffee was found to be 64.5mg with a yield of 1.6%. The yield is higher than the overall class average yield. This shows that there is a source of error. With the yield being higher‚ it is possible that the product did not have applicable time to dry and could still have been wet‚ which would make it heavier. Through a new technique called sublimation

Research question/Aim Extract copper from copper oxide by reduction using butane gas Hypothesis The butane gas will reduce the copper oxide and leave behind pure copper. This will allow us to find the empirical formula of the copper oxide as well as the masses of oxygen and copper Variables Dependant variable The dependant variable will be the reduction of the copper oxide which will be calculated at different temperatures. Independent variable The independent variable here

Introduction DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) is a nucleic acid that has many names‚ each representing the phases that it undergoes (chromosomes‚ chromatin‚ genes/alleles); it resides in the nucleus (bound by 2 *phospholipid bilayers) of almost every cell in the body (red blood cells being an exception). DNA (your genotype) is double stranded and is responsible for replicating (from 46 to 92) during Interphase‚ so that mitosis can make new cells‚ repairing and allowing for growth in the body. It is

Introduction: The theory behind the extraction of a solution containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange involves many components pertaining to the fundamental ideas of solubility and polarity. Using the concepts of like dissolving like and acid base reactions‚ a solution of organic acid (benzoic acid)‚ a water soluble compound cellulose‚ and an organic soluble compound methyl orange‚ can be separated and benzoic acid can be isolated by a method of extraction. At the fundamental level

EXTRACTION OF TRIMYRISTIN FROM NUTMEG: Paul I. PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment was to illustrate the extraction of a solid natural product from its natural source by partition with the aid of an organic solvent. Extraction is the process by which a compound or mixtures of‚ is transferred by separation from one phase into another. In this case‚ the major triglyceride contains a single fatty acid identified as myristic acid. It is a substituent

Date Submitted: Sept. 2‚ 2014 EXPERIMENT NO. 1 EXTRACTION AND ISOLATION OF PROTEINS Background of the experiment Pure proteins are not readily available for study or use. There are certain methods that should be done in order to obtain proteins from its sources. The objective of this experiment is to isolate casein from milk and albumin from egg and to identify and explain the principles behind the methods employed for protein extraction. Results and Discussion There are many possible sources
