Data and Conclusions: The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to use distillation and gas chromatography to separate and identify different compounds from a given mixture. There are several kinds of distillation methods. However‚ the method that we used in this experiment was fractional distillation. This method is used when trying to separate two different volatile compounds whose boiling points differ by 40-50°C or more. If the boiling points are too close‚ this method

Ink Chromatography Lab Background Information Paper chromatography is an analytical method that is used for separating and identifying mixtures of substances into their smaller parts. Paper chromatography works because the ink used contains several dyes (pigments) that when place on porous paper are dissolved in a solvent by capillary action. When the pigments (solutes) are dissolved in the solvent (water & alcohol mixture) they move through the paper at different rates depending on their

Analysis of Food Dyes in Beverages Samantha Sequito and Anna Steenland Lab Performed: December 3‚ 2013 Lab Due: December 13‚ 2013 Introduction: Different amounts of FD&C Blue I were diluted with water to make eight differently concentrated 10 mL solutions. Samples were placed in the spectrophotometer to determine the percent transmittance of FD&C Blue 1. All of the data was summarized in graphs to predict the concentration of FD&C Blue I in a sample of Gatorade.

Chromatography: How can we separate a mixture? Purpose The chromatography lab is to understand how molecules with similar molecular properties can be separated with paper chromatography. These differences will be interpreted to see the distinction of separate chemical substances. Pre Lab Questions 1. Explain capillary action as it pertains to water and paper. Capillary action makes water draw up the paper. As paper absorbs water mixes with the solutions in the paper. 2. What is the

Problem How can you tell pigment separation by using Chromatography? Objective To prepare a chromatogram‚ separate pigments in a leaf and interpret the chromatogram. Hypothesis If I am to put a chromatography paper into a solvent‚ then it would separate the pigments depending on their Rf value. I think the pigments will separate in this order: Chlorophyll A‚ Chlorophyll B‚ Carotene‚ and Xanthophyll. Introduction Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy

The purpose of this lab was to synthesize indigo and an azo dye and to determine how effective each dye was to dye different types of fabrics. 0.168g of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde was dissolved into acetone along with 25 drops of distilled water and NaOH to synthesize indigo. The solution was filtered‚ and the solid indigo was placed into the filter flask to reduce indigo to leucoindigo with 10mL of 3M NaOH. The flask was heated along with sodium dithionite and distilled water added to the flask. Afiber

In this Laboratory experiment‚ my lab partner Alexander and I were able to understand thoroughly the physical and chemical properties of salt (NaCl) and sand (SiO2). Followed by the right procedure we were able to design and test out the components of both NaCl and SiO2 in order to separate the unknown mixture that we were able to find out about. We were also given the task to provide the percent composition of the mixtures. Therefore‚ the separation of components among this experiment allowed us

When the actual FD&C dyes in the green Kool-Aid were revealed‚ it was discovered that the initial assumption that Yellow 5 and Blue 1 are in the Kool-Aid was correct. However‚ solely based upon the Rf values‚ the dyes in the green Kool-Aid are Red 40 and Yellow 6 as those are closet Rf value to the numeric data collected and calculated from the Kool-Aid chromatogram. However‚ the chromatography paper in both trials display that the dyes in Kool-Aid are a form of yellow and a form of blue because
