Distillation Objective: To illustrate the use of distillation for separating a mixture of two volatile liquids with different boiling points. Background: Distillation consists of heating a liquid until it vaporizes‚ and then condensing the vapor and collecting it in a separate container. Distillation is used to separate mixtures of liquids that either have different boiling points‚ or that have one component that does not distill. There are many types of distillation‚ each of which has a distinct

Potentiometric Titration of Sodium Carbonate Otieno O. Victor University of Detroit Mercy Quantitative Analysis Lab CHM 3880 Fall 2011 Partner: Edwin Gay Abstract The PH at each point during the titration of sodium carbonate unknown sample was determined. An Unknown sample of Na2CO3 was titrated with a standard HCL solution. In addition to titration‚ the pH at each point of titration was measured using PH meter. The % of the unknown Na2CO3 was 25.83% Introduction1 The purpose of this experiment

In 1860‚ the first instrumental analysis was performed by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchoff who used flames tests that led to the discovery of the elements rubidium (Rb) and caesium (Cs). After this‚ this method was used everywhere to find the chemical make ups of many substances. For example‚ in 2007 there was a huge problem where tainted pet food would cause many pets to become ill. Qualitative analysis was used and it was discovered that Melamine was found in the pet food which altered the results

Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to find the identity of the unknown compound #12. This was done both qualitatively and quantitatively. The qualitative observations were used to determine the functional group that was in the unknown‚ the quantitative results were used to determine the molar mass through Duma’s method. The types of compounds that were used in testing were all functional groups‚ Aldehyde‚ Ketone‚ Alcohol and‚ Ester. Functional groups are a portion of a molecule that

Qualitative Analysis Lab Report Organic Chemistry Laboratory II ABSTRACT: The purpose of this lab was to separate and purify two unknown compounds‚ one solid and one liquid‚ from an ethereal solution using the techniques of chemically active extraction‚ vacuum filtration‚ simple distillation‚ and recrystallization. Then identifying information was compiled about these unknowns by obtaining experimental melting/boiling point ranges‚ and analyzing IR and proton/carbon NMR spectrums It was determined

Qualitative Analysis of Cations Short Overview The most common cations have been placed into five groups based upon solubility in aqueous solutions when different reagents are added. The reactions which occur are useful in identifying the presence of these cations in unknown samples. The process of identifying the cations is called qualitative analysis. The purpose of this experiment is to identify which cations are present in unknown solutions. A data sheet was not prepared for this experiment

In the lab‚ the purpose was to standardize a KMnO4 solution than using it to evaluate how close a H2O2’s concentration was to its labeled concentration. In this lab‚ it was decided to compare the concentration of new Publix brand hydrogen peroxide to an old sample of the same solution. From the data collected in the first part by titrating a solution of FeSO4*7H2O with the KMnO4 solution‚ it was determined that the concentration was .028M MnO4-. This was able to be done because a known amount of

Abstract Chemically active extraction was used to separate two unknown compounds from each other and to determine what compound class each compound belongs. The solid unknown was purified by recrystallization and its melting point range was determined to be 109-111°C. The liquid unknown was purified by simple distillation and its boiling point was determined to be 95°C. An IR spectrum was collected for each of the purified compounds; the solid was determined to be 3-toluic acid and the liquid was
