The Effect of Varying Molecular Weights on the Rate of Diffusion of Substances August 22‚2012 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was verified by the 2 tests: the glass tube setup and the water agar-gel setup. In the glass tube setup‚ two cotton balls were soaked in the solutions of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) and were simultaneously placed on both ends of the tubing.NH4OH had a lighter molecular weight of 35 g/mole which diffused

Thermochemistry Laboratory Report Abstract The purposes of these three experiments are to determine the heat capacity of a calorimeter and with that data‚ confirm Hess’s Law and observe enthalpy changes within reactions. By measuring the change in temperature that occurs with the interaction of two different reactants‚ we were able to determine both the calorimeter constant and the change in enthalpy of a given reaction. The results were rather mixed‚ as some numbers more closely resembled the

Alkyl Halides Alkyl halides are a class of compounds where a halogen atom or atoms are bound to an sp3 orbital of an alkyl group. CHCl3 (Chloroform: organic solvent) CF2Cl2 (Freon-12: refrigerant CFC) CF3CHClBr (Halothane: anesthetic) Halogen atoms are more electronegative than carbon atoms‚ and so the C-Hal bond is polarized. H H μ C + C-l δ δ H The C-X bond is polarized in such a way that there is partial positive charge on the carbon and partial negative charge on the halogen. Dipole moment

The study is about distillation. Distillation is a process of converting a liquid to a vapor‚ and then‚ collecting the distillate in another container. This technique is used to separate components in a liquid mixture which have different boiling points‚ or to separate a component that is not volatile. It is one of the methods used when purifying liquids. For example‚ it is used to concentrate alcoholic beverages. The four distillation methods include simple distillation‚ fractional distillation

The purpose of our experiment was to synthesize aspirin from acetyl anhydride‚ salicylic acid‚ and sulfuric acid. And then determine the relative purity of the synthesized sample. The procedure performed in our experiment involved chemically reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in order to form acetyl

These differences are perhaps most highlighted in the medical field where stereochemistry of a molecule can be the difference between having a medically active‚ effective drug and a toxic‚ potentially

Formal paper number 1 Professor Tolentino Maria Oyervide EXPERIMENT #4 IONIC AND COVALENT COMPOUNDS Abstract: This experiment was divided in four steps to find the electrical conductivity of covalent and ionic solutions. There were four unknown solutes A‚ B and C. Each had a specific weight and was dissolved in a certain amount of solute to form either the covalent or ionic solution. Covalent compounds are made up of molecules which are electrically neutral. Ionic compounds are composed

BOILING POINTS Introduction: The boiling point of a compound is the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas. This is a physical property often used to identify substances or to check the purity of the compound. It is difficult‚ though‚ to find a boiling point. Usually‚ chemists can only obtain a boiling range of a 2 - 3oC accuracy. This is usually sufficient for most uses of the boiling point. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the boiling points of various

Title Page Density Formal Lab Report Name Professors Name Date Purpose/Objective: Determine density of a product for a plastic manufacturing facility. Provide quality control by making sure the physical properties are within design specifications. Density is defined as the ratio of an object’s mass to its volume‚ measured by dividing mass by volume (density = mass/volume). This was accomplished using two different experimental methods‚ displacement and floatation. The theory is that
