Determination of an Unknown Concentration of Potassium Manganate using Colorimetry Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to conclude the concentration of an unknown solution using colorimetry to plot a calibration curve. Colorimetry measures the absorption of light at wavelengths within the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It can be used to identify the unknown concentration of a solution in reference to a solution of a known concentration. When a solution appears

Spectrophotometric determination of Ascorbic acid Concentration in an Unknown Solution Introduction: The naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties is Ascorbic acid shortly referred as (AA). Normally the color of Ascorbic acid is white‚ but in some cases of impure samples it appears yellow in color. Ascorbic acid is solid in state. In water it dissolves well to give mildly acidic solutions. Ascorbic acid is one form ("vitamer") of vitamin C [1]. So‚ Ascorbic Acid (AA)

1. Obtain 1 gram of an impure‚ unknown substance solid. Make sure to stir the mixture before measuring the sample; record the mixture’s code in the data section. 2. Add approx. 25-50 mL of water and several boiling chips to a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask and heat the water to a gentle boil using a hotplate. 3. On a second hotplate‚ place a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing the one gram of unknown solid along with a boiling chip. 4. Using a ring clamp‚ slowly pour approx. 5-10 mL of boiling water into

Lab: Flame Test Purpose: to determine the ID of 2 unknown substances Background Information: Every atom consists of a nucleus with tiny electrons whizzing around it. The further away from the nucleus they are‚ the more energy the electrons have. If a metal atom is heated‚ the electrons get enough energy to jump higher away from the nucleus‚ they become “excited”. When they fall back closer to the nucleus (back to their ground state)‚ they give off this extra energy as light. Why is the

Abstract Three tests were performed to determine the identity of unknown number 34‚ a gram stain‚ citrate utilization test‚ and a urease detection test. These tests are explained in detail‚ and the method of performing the tests is described. The tests showed that the bacterium was gram-negative bacilli that did not utilize citrate‚ and the ability to hydrolyze urea using urease. These results indicate that the identity of unknown number 34 is Proteus mirabilis. Introduction Proteus mirabilis is

A Report of Experiment 1 Purification and Identification of An Unknown Mixture Aim To separate a mixture of a neutral (ester‚ alcohol‚ ketone‚ aldehyde or ether) and an acidic compound (phenol or carboxylic acid) or a neutral and a basic compound (amine)‚ and to identify the unknown mixture by physical (M.P. or B.P.) and spectroscopic methods (NMR‚ IR and MS). Method The mixture (sample number: 27) was dissolved in 200 mL of CH2Cl2 and then extracted with 10% NaOH. The acid was removed
