must you use lead pencil‚ instead of a pen‚ to mark your chromatography paper? A lead pencil should be used instead of a pen because the ink of the pen would dissolve in the eluting solution and separate. The components of the ink could mix with the other ink/ dyes that would be tested on the same chromatogram. Thus‚ a lead pencil should be used. 2. Why should you avoid touching the surface of the paper to be used for amino-acid chromatography? We should avoid touching the surface of the chromatogram

due to the structure of disperse red 9 being more symmetrical than that of disperse blue 3 and having more nonpolar bonds. Disperse blue 3 is more polar because it has a hydroxide bond and has a larger dipole. The principle behind using column chromatography is that it separates compounds based on polarity. The alumina serves to allow for a purer separation than TLC plates because it has a more polar surface than silica gel does. The less polar dye moves first because it is not as soluble in the stationary

The progress of the reaction was monitored in my case using two TLC plate. It first started off with the spotting of Standard benzoin and benzil which were provided in the lab and followed by the addition of the reaction mixture at once it starts changing colour/boiling‚ then at 10 and 20 mins into the reflux. Once all the necessary steps were spotted‚ the TLC plate was placed in in a beaker containing CH₂Cl₂(methylene chloride)‚ which was used as the developing solvent in this experiment. To check

by the strongest‚ or more visible spot on the plate. An error for this lab could have occurred at this point because the wrong spot was chosen. If the RF values were used to determined which spot to choose‚ results may yield a smaller presence of pure naphthyl ether and a larger presence of dichloromethane in the IR spectrum. The spot that is most visible on the TLC plate is the solution that needs to be chosen. For this lab‚ the forth sample was chosen because the spot showed up the most under the

Majed Al Dhwaihi Chem 151 Lab Prelab Assignment for week 3 Chemical Separation Procedure: Separating the sample: First place a small amount of the spinach provided in the mortar‚ just enough to cover its bottom; combined with the sand provided to break down the call walls. A 1:1 mixture of hexane and acetone was determined to best solvent for this extraction. Knowing this add one mL of the pure hexane and one mL of the pure acetone to the mortar. Grind the contents until the cell walls

TLC FULL LAB REPORT Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to identify compounds in a mixture by Rf values and to determine the best solvent to use. Also is the analysis of mixtures before‚ during and separation. Possible solvents: Hexane MW- 86.17 g/mol Hazards-flammable‚ harmful if swallowed Melting pt / boiling pt (degree Celsius) - 69 Density-.6548 g/ml [pic] Methanol MW-32.04 g/mol Hazards- flammable‚ eye irritant Melting pt / boiling pt- 65 Density-.7918 g/ml [pic]

The purpose of the lab “All in the Family” was to compare the reactivity of the halogens Chlorine‚ Bromine‚ and iodine by observing the reactions between their elemental forms and their ionic forms. To accomplish this experiment‚ we first added a squirt of pet ether to two test tubes. Then‚ we added the same amount of Cl2 to both of the tubes‚ shook the mixtures‚ and recorded the color that resided in each mixture as the initial color. After‚ a squirt of NaBr was added to one test tube‚ and a squirt

Discussion: My results show the following: The unknown component traveled at a distance similar to the spice time blue dye. However‚ there are a few limitations within this experiment. The accuracy of the length of the component was difficult to record. The ruler that we used was degraded and thick‚ making it hard to read the length. The dyes could also cause error to occur. Everything has an expiration date‚ depending on how old or how new the dye is‚ it could affect the outcome. 1. Why is it
