Abstract Surface tension is defined as the energy or work required to increase the surface area of a liquid due to intermolecular forces. Measuring the surface tension is useful in identifying unknown liquids and to check for its purity. By capillary method‚ the surface tension of a given unknown liquid was obtained. Water was used as reference liquid and both liquids were subjected to capillary method at 20‚ 30 and 40℃. The surface tension of water was used to calculate the radius of the capillary

To begin the experiment‚ the unknown needs to be determined as an acid or a base by using litmus paper or a pH strip. For the rest of the experiment‚ if the substance is being handled‚ gloves and goggles must be worn. Use a clean and dry Erlenmeyer flask and weigh it. Then‚ some of the unknown will be measured and poured into the flask. Also way the flask and the unknown. Add distilled water and phenol saline to the flask. Set that aside to prepare the biuret.

The purpose of this lab is to investigate the composition of a compound suspected to be Panacetin‚ a type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen‚ but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen‚ either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as extraction‚ evaporation‚ and filtration‚ the three components will be isolated based on their solubilities and acid-base

Enumeration of Bacterial Contamination in Hamburger Meat from Unknown Sources C March 6‚ 2012 The importance of bacterial enumeration has become even more apparent in recent years due to the increasing numbers of harmful bacteria found in meat products. This process is the key to understanding the populations of microorganisms that contaminate the food supply. Much of the bacteria in meat has been shown to be resistant to multiple drugs; so disease-causing microbes

of iron in an unknown sample will be determined by using a redox titration and then compared to a different method. A primary standard which in this case is ferrous ammonium sulfate will be used to standardize potassium dichromate. The standardized potassium dichromate will then be used to titrate the unknown iron sample using the indicator p-diphenylamine sulfonate. The standardized potassium dichromate which has a concentration around 0.017 M is then titrated into the unknown iron sample which

Introduction The purpose of the experiment was to oxidize and identify an unknown alcohol using hypochlorite‚ or household bleach. During the experiment‚ the bleach oxidized the secondary unknown alcohol into a liquid ketone which was distilled or boiled to find the boiling point and then identified using a chart of unknown identities and boiling points. The oxidation of the unknown alcohol was done through the mixing of the unknown alcohol‚ glacial acetic acid‚ and bleach. Through the procedure of oxidation

Macromolecules BCM261/BCM262 Anonymous Student #2 Aim The purpose of this lab was to use the scientific method to identify an unknown solution‚ based on the reactions (i.e. color changes) of known solutions with indicator solutions. These known solutions contained different types of macromolecules. Each type of micromolecule reacted with at least one indicator solution in a unique way‚ which allowed us to identify the macromolecule based upon the presence or
