ANALYSIS OF MOUTHWASH Background Information: Commercial mouthwashes are mixtures of water‚ alcohol‚ dyes‚ flavorings‚ and other compounds. In this experiment‚ you will use gas chromatography to determine the alcohol content of the mouthwash. Since the volumes of alcohol and water are not additive when mixed‚ a calibration curve must be used. It will provide the correction factor needed for alcohol-water mixtures. The calibration curve will be prepared by placing a known amount of alcohol

Chromatography refers to a set of laboratory methods used in separating as well as purifying biomolecules. A variety of chromatography techniques exist‚ and all depend on the interaction between a stationary and a mobile state. Two types of chromatography methods were examined in this investigation. First‚ ion-exchange chromatography was used. This method separates ions and polar molecules based on their affinity to the ion exchanger [2]. Specifically‚ cation-exchange chromatography was performed

RADICAL HALOGENATION AND GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY Abstract In radical halogenations lab 1-chlorobutane and 5% sodium hypochlorite solution was mixed in a vial and put through tests to give a product that can then be analyzed using gas chromatography. This experiment was performed to show how a radical hydrogenation reaction works with alkanes. Four isomers were attained and then relative reactivity rate was calculated. 1‚1-dichlorobutane had 2.5% per Hydrogen; 1‚2-dichlorobutane had 10%; 1‚3-dichlorobutane
