In this experiment the objective is to separate dyes in washable markers to see how many different dyes are combined to create one color. The technique used to separate the dyes in this experiment is called chromatography. The materials used consisted of – 3 pieces of chromatography paper‚ a tall clear glass‚ water‚ table salt‚ 1 tsp. measuring spoon‚ an 8 oz. measuring cup‚ pencil‚ ruler‚ 6 washable markers‚ and paper towels. The markers used in this experiment have to be water soluble therefore

The kermes dye was considered to be native to the old world‚ “Used by the Aztecs for dyeing and painting” (Douma‚ 2008)‚ and the Incas‚ who loved their reds. Throughout this time‚ various native american groups throughout Mesoamerica and South America used as dyestuff. It wasn’t until the 16th Century‚ that the Spanish conquest pushed the kermes dye into the hands of the Europeans. In fact‚ “When Spanish explorers discovered [the dye] and Conquistadors invaded Central and South America in the late

FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION October 29‚ 2012 CHEM 210 ME01 INTRODUCTION The process of separating the components of a mixture by distillation into relatively pure fractions is referred to as fractional distillation. Simple distillation‚ a process with similar goals‚ is noted for being a satisfactory attempt at separating two components in an ideal mixture‚ but not as accurate as fractional distillation. To explore these statements further‚ there needs to be an in depth look at the theory that

plants. In this experiment‚ the essential oil eugenol was isolated from ground cloves using steam distillation techniques. Eugenol had a high boiling point‚ but it was isolated at a lower temperature by performing a co-distillation with water‚ a process known as steam distillation. This technique allowed the desired material to be distilled at a lower temperature than 100℃. The point of the steam distillation was to use an azeotrope to isolate the organic compound from a solid. The azeotrope was the

think of when you think of tie dye? I know I automatically think of hippie’s in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Today‚ many of us who wear tie dye feel some connection with that peace loving hippie spirit! Ironically‚ did you know that the first tie dye was worn by Japanese warriors as early as the fifth century (www.peaceloveandtiedye.com)? Tie dye is something that has actually been around for centuries. There have been many changes in tie dye through out the centuries. Now tie dye has evolved into being part

All about Distillation Distillation is a process that is used to purify a lot of substances on a domestic as well as commercial basis. It is very interesting to know about the process in detail as it is a natural process. The story begins when a liquid or solid state of mater responds to the heat in environment. The heat makes the liquid state or solid state of matter to convert into gas state. Liquid Gas (Vaporization) Solids

The process of distillation is commonly used to purify liquids. The process of distillation allows separation of distillates based on the temperatures at which they boil. Liquids with higher volatility boil at lower rates than liquids that are less volatile. Because of this when a mixture of two substances is created there will be a spike in the boiling point. At the spike the more volatile substance has vaporized and condense out of the mixture leaving the less volatile liquid. Thus the temperature

Introduction The membrane of a living cell plays a vital role in regulating what goes into and out of the cell. Some characteristics of cell membranes are discovered in this exercise. Background The following information is key for the interpretation of the results of this experiment 1. Neutral red is a vital stain. It stains cells without quickly killing them. Many biological stains kill living cells. 2. Neutral red goes through an obvious color change‚ from red at about pH 6.8 to yellow

Food Dyes Foods and drinks are identified by two major concepts: shape and color. When individuals want to buy fruit‚ shape and color help determine ripeness and the quantity. These qualities help people spend money efficiently by buying the best fruit‚ or any food for that matter. All foods have preconceived looks‚ and if a food were to not be the same color or a different shape‚ an abnormality is noticed. The Lab Manual provides information that there are nine different FDA approved dyes and food
