Aim: The aim of this experiment was to develop a technique to separate a mixture of sand‚ salt‚ iron filings‚ kerosene and water. Hypothesis: It was hypothesized that the heterogeneous mixture of salt‚ sand kerosene‚ iron fillings and water will be effectively separated. It is also predicted that there will be a decrease in each of the substances as a results of sources of error. Risk assessment: Risk | Control Measure | Glass- Fragile‚ lacerations could occur | Extra care

Post-Lab Report for Experiment 2: Cooperative Identification of an organic Solid October 6‚ 2013 Introduction: This experiment was focused on the cooperative identification of organic compound by its chemical properties such as: slow melting point‚ mixed melting point‚ Rf values in TLC experiment‚ IR spectrum analysis‚ and H NMR spectra. Such data can provide the the identity of functional groups and the identity of the compound itself. In this experiment

A safety audit for the gas-solid fluidization experiment was conducted. The following safety concerns were found when performing the audit: operating beyond the operating limits‚ spillage of the beads‚ risk of head injury from bending over to change the beads in the apparatus or from the low bar‚ and congestion of the workspace. One of the biggest safety concerns with this lab involved the small glass beads that acted as the solid in the experiment. If the gas flow rate goes below 50 standard cubic

In the experiment‚ 0.3 g of mixture was dissolved in 3 mL of t-butyl methyl ether in a centrifuge tube. Then‚ 2 mL of 0.5 M NaHCO3 was added‚ shaken for one minute‚ and allowed to sit for two minutes so the layers could separate. The lower water layer was removed with a Pasteur pipette and placed in a test tube labeled “Acid.” Next‚ 0.5 mL of distilled water was added to wash the ether layer in the centrifuge tube and then discarded. 2 mL of 0.5 M NaOH was added to the remaining layer‚ shaken for

CHAPTER 6 MECHANICAL-PHYSICAL SEPARATION PROCESSES Introduction Separation Processes Many chemical processes materials and biological substances occur as mixtures of different components in the gas‚ liquid‚ or solid phase. In order to separate or remove one or more of the component from its original mixture‚ it must be contacted with another phase. The two-phase pair can be gas-liquid‚ gas-solid‚ liquid‚ or liquid-solid. Absorption When the two contacting phases are a gas and a liquid

The Purity and Purification of Solids Melting Point Lab Introduction: The point of this lab was to determine the eutectic point for the naphthalene biphenyl mixture‚ as well as determining the melting point of an unknown substance by comparing it with two known samples. Melting point is a temperature in which a substance changes from solid state to liquid state. Melting points are used to determine whether the given substance is pure or not. Substances that melt sharply‚ less than 1-2°C indicates

Industrial Separation Research a) Identify a mixture that is separated industrially: Olive oil b) Identify which ‘sphere’ it is obtained from: Biosphere c) Identify the industrial separation processes used on this mixture: Crushing/grinding: The olive fruit is crushed and ground by a metal hammer in a mill to make a paste. Beating: The olive fruit paste is added to water is additionally beaten to extract more oil from the olive cells. Salt can be used to assist osmotic breakdown [of the cells]

Chemistry 207 (Lab # 1) 9/11/12 Experiment #1: Cooperative Identification of an Organic Solid A. What needs to be done: In this lab‚ one will identify the identity of a colorless organic solid by experimentally finding the physical properties of the solid. Such properties include melting point‚ mixed melting point‚ and IR spectrum. With these properties‚ one will be able to compare their results of the organic solid to see if any other classmates have the same unknown sample. B. Timeline:

Experiment1Separation of mixtures by filtration and crystallisationBackgroundThe separation of a mixture of two solids can often be achieved by filtration and crystallisation. To be successful‚ this requires that the components of the mixture have different solubilities in a particular solvent. AimThe purpose of this experiment is to separate sodium chloride/charcoal and sodium chloride/copper(II) chloride mixtures.
