EXPERIMENT 13: Extraction: Extraction with acid and alkali Objective 1. To recover the benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene from its mixture from its mixture by using acid-alkali extraction. 2. To determine the percentage recovery and melting point of the recovered benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene. Introduction Acid-base extraction is a process which purifying the acids and bases from mixtures based on their chemical properties. Acid-base extraction is performed to isolate the compounds and natural

members of that species available to reproduce. Question #10 When comparing a ban on trans-fat to a ban on cocaine the difference rests in the supply and enforcement of the two. Trans fat is produced and supplied in a regulated and controlled market where as illicit drugs are regulated by a cartel. The two different markets would explain which ban would be easier to enforce. Considering the fact that trans-fat is not produced or sold on the

Benzoic Acid and Benzoates in Food‚ Drinks and Medicines Benzoic acid and benzoates are common additives to food‚ drinks‚ medicines and cosmetics‚ and they also occur naturally in many plants. They are useful chemicals in manufactured products because they kill or inhibit both bacteria and fungi and can act as preservatives. Benzoic acid and benzoates are considered to be safe chemicals for humans when they’re used in small quantities‚ but there are at least two situations in which even small

ACID / BASE BUFFER SYSTEMS Abstract A buffer solution is a solution that contains both an acid and a salt containing the conjugate base / acid in sufficient concentrations so as to maintain a relatively constant pH when either acid or base is added. In this experiment a selection of buffer solutions (Bicarbonate/carbonic acid)‚ Lake water and distilled water were obtained to compare their buffering behaviours when mixed both with an acid and a base. The results showed buffering capacities for

Trans-Atlantic slavery in the 15th century was sparked by the growing hunger for money and power‚ and was discouraged during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. The ideologies of Charles Darwin and Karl Marx help us understand and explain the reason for the rise and fall of this type of slavery. These ideologies also allow one to determine if this slavery was inevitable or not. Great Britain’s capitalistic society‚ strengthened their drive to form colonies leading to the exploitation of

Acid Rain Introduction: Titrations are often recorded on graphs called titration curves‚ which generally contain the volume of the titrant as the independent variable and the pH of the solution as the dependent variable (because it changes depending on the composition of the two solutions). The equivalence point on the graph is where all of the starting solution (usually an acid) has been neutralized by the titrant (usually a base). One can easily find the pKa of the monoprotic acid by finding

The causes of acid rain are because of the emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere. This is a result of pollution; sulphur dioxide primarily the result of industrialisation and coal fired power stations‚ and nitrogen oxides produced mainly due to car exhaust fumes. These either form wet or dry deposition‚ and the effects we can see today. It could be argued that once that the human race has used up all of the planets coal reserves‚ the problem of acid rain would disappear

Equilibrium and Acid Base Test Review: May 2012 Things to know: 1. Explain DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM. Why does a reaction at equilibrium look like it is NOT reacting? 2. Are all reactions equilibrium reactions? What assumptions do we make when we say that a reaction does NOT take place or that it is UNIDIRECTIONAL and goes 100% to completion 3. Be able to sketch a graph of the following (assuming that you start with all reactants and no products) : a. A reaction that really doesn’t do anything

Sodium thiosulfate is safe to handle and store‚ but if it is mixed with an acid‚ a reaction happens. When dilute sodium thiosulfate is mixed with an acid‚ solid sulphur is made‚ which makes the solution appear cloudy. The reaction also makes small amounts of toxic sulphur dioxide gas. You will choose one factor and investigate this factor’s effect on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulfate and dilute hydrochloric acid. A colorimeter is a device used in colorimetry that generally refers to

has already a wide amplitude of ions‚ where the addition of sodium chloride just increases the overall ions in the solution‚ hence more conductivity; since electrons are moved through ions. What I found through three attempts of finding the average conductivity of HCL is 4978.66666667 µS/cm. Which comparably to the 2 different solvents I chose‚ is the most conductive. This is because once again‚ HCL has a wide amplitude of ions and is a strong acid. Where comparing to the conductivity of distilled
