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‚ so you must record your observations in the lab notebook as you do the experiment

Alyssa Caparelli Organic Chemistry 12A Professor Alston October 28‚ 2014 Isolation of Chlorophyll and Carotenoid Pigments from Spinach Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to isolate ß-carotene‚ chlorophyll-A‚ and chlorophyll-B from spinach using column chromatography. Spinach was dehydrated using ethanol‚ and the pigments were extracted with dichloromethane. The spinach extracts were dried using CaCl2. Then‚ the solid pigments were run through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane
Free Solvent Acetic acid Ethanol
Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to observe what happens when two ionic compounds are combined in a small area and to be able to record the type of precipitate that is formed. Background: An ionic compound is formed when ions “transfer‚” or lose or gain electrons. The ions in an ionic compound are held together by ionic bonds in a lattice shaped structured. They are packed tightly together to maximize the attraction between the ions. When two compounds are mixed together‚ they form a precipitate

Science of Biology Mrs. Farrow Lab 3 – Slime Time Submitted by Chase Kenemer 22 February 2015 Abstract Polar solvents dissolve‚ or pick-up‚ polar substances and non-polar solvents dissolve‚ or pick-up‚ non-polar substances. In the conducted experiment‚ the polarity of molecules and their properties are explored. The results of using two solvents on both polar and non-polar inks‚ further verify this to be true. The student conducted the experiment given‚ using safe lab practices‚ that found the

In the Stoichiometry Challenge Lab we compared the theoretical results of the reaction between sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with the actual data we found. I hypothesised that If the mole ratio between Na2SO4 and H2SO4 is 1:1 then when I react 0.5 grams of Na2SO4 (reactant with H2SO4) I should get 0.669 grams of Na2SO4. The actual reaction between .05 grams of Na2CO3 and 5 mL of of H2SO4 produced 0.79g of Na2SO4. When I were testing the reaction‚ I measured out the reactants

iLab‚ Week #2 CATIONS AND ANION LAB Introduction In this experiment we will be mixing two ionic compounds: potassium chromate and lead nitrate; both are soluble in water. This will be demonstrating a double-replacement reaction/reactions between cations and anions. If a reaction does occur it will form a precipitate due to one of the newly formed compounds not being soluble in water. Once the experiment was completed there was what appears to be a “solid” substance remaining in the

Experiment 3: Separating and Determining the Mass of Calcium Ion in a Calcium-Enriched Tablet In this lab‚ we dissolved a calcium-enriched tablet and participate the calcium ion as calcium carbonate. Our purpose is to determine the masses of calcium carbonate and calcium ion‚ to determine the mass percent of calcium ion in the tablet and to compare the masses and the percent with the listed tablet ingredients. This time we used a 150mL beaker‚ analytical balance‚ forceps‚ a 50mL graduated cylinder

Water Testing Lab Conclusion In this lab‚ chemical tests were used to check for the presence of calcium‚ chloride‚ and sulfate ions in water samples. To do this‚ the testers started with five samples: a reference‚ a sample of only the chemical being tested for‚ a control‚ distilled water‚ two home water samples‚ and a school water sample. To test for the ions in the water‚ a chemical that would react with the ion and create a precipitate was added. If the precipitate was not easily visible‚ a

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to study the specific characteristics of cations and anions‚ and ultimately to be able to identify an unknown substance based on our studies and tests using the logic trees developed through the experiment. A logic tree is a graphical display of the findings from this lab which‚ through a series of yes/no questions‚ elimination tests‚ will help us to identify and unknown sample. This lab will result in 2 logic trees

Raquel Johnson October 19‚ 2014 Solids: Recrystallization and Melting Points Organic Chemistry 2423 Lab Report: Recrystallization Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to purify an unknown compound by recrystallization. Taking an unknown compound and identifying it by purifying it from its impurities through the use of hot gravity filtration. Then to determine the unknown you were to take the melting point. An unknown compound was recrystallized from hot water to produce 0.99 grams (67% recovery)
