Comparing Propanol And Isopropyl Alcohol

Improved Essays
According to the average density and the boiling point of the experiment, the probable identify liquid of M4C is Propanol (Isopropyl alcohol), with the density value is (0.788 g/mL) and boiling point is (82.67 *C) compare with the literature value of density (0.785 g/mL) and the boiling point (82.4 *C), which Propanol (Isopropyl alcohol) should be the liquid of M4C. The Propanol (Isopropyl alcohol) has no color.
The key of identify the unknown is the boiling point and the density, because if depend on the density, we might have multiple liquid and it not very accurate, but since we can determine the boiling point, the number of boiling point and density will help us to find out the most precise unknown liquid.
The most precise is the pipette,

    Unknown: Calcium Chloride

    The hypothesis was that unknown was calcium chloride. This conclusion came from a couple of sources of reasoning. First, a number of compounds were present in the lab, and one of those had to be the unknown. Second, the unknown was white and spherical in shape, and so these characteristics were examined for in the possible compounds. Compounds that were sand-like in texture or liquid in their present physical state were passed over since none of those compounds could be the unknown.…

    The various experiments, we did the Halide test for Ions, ammonium tests, flame tests and solubility tests. According to the results in table 1.1, the unknown substance passed the halide test forming white precipitate, proving the presence of Cl- ions in it. While t failed the ammonium and sulfate test, demonstrating that NH4+ ions SO4 ions were not present in the compound. In general when the flame test is done, bright colors may appear, but this compound showed no color. We performed experiments and associated the volume of water of MgCl2 melted with that of our unknown and MgSO4 to figure out if they have the same ability to melt ice.…

    Diethylamine Vs Pentane

    • 399 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Pentane and Diethylamine have many similarities, but they also have their differences. Pentane comes from the Greek word pente meaning “five” as the atom is comprised of five carbon atoms as shown in the formula C5H12. Some characteristics of the molecule is that it gives off a gasoline-like odor, generally does not have a color, and is a liquid. Pentane is commonly used in fuels, building construction materials, explosive materials, food packaging, paint, liquid chromatography, and toys just to name a few. Diethylamine is comprised of the formula C4H11N. Some characteristics of Diethylamine include an ammonia-like odor, and similar to Pentane, Diethylamine is a colorless liquid.…

    However, this temperature was lower than the boiling point of acetone, the most volatile solvent possibly present in the unknown solution, pointing to a source of error in the measurement of the temperature. This could have been due to an inaccurate thermometer or to an error in placing the thermometer too high. Because the boiling point was so low, the more volatile solvent was estimated to be acetone, which has a boiling point of 56.5°C. After fraction A was collected, the temperature of the stillpot was increased and should have produced a steady increase in a plot of the temperature versus total volume distilled while fraction B (a mixture of the two components) was collected, until a second plateau at the boiling point of the less volatile component. The temperature of the stillpot needed to be increased after collecting fraction A because the liquid left in the stillpot was then composed of a higher percentage of the less volatile component, with a correspondingly higher vapor pressure, meaning that it would boil at a higher temperature.…

    Introduction: Limonene is a terpene that can be isolated from orange peels almost 100% in the (R)-(+)-limonene form. The essential oil from the orange peel belongs to terpenes, which are compounds that are made up of two or more five carbon units, named isoprene.1 The limonene is a monoterpene, which means it is made up of two isoprene units. Natural products are related compounds formally derived from isoprene units are terpenoids.3…

    I can infer the liquid unknown was Lithium because they both reacted very similar (bright pink-red), and the solid unknown was sodium becasue they both had an emediate bright orange, opaque flame. This test should be used for identifying unknown elements becasue when the substnace is introduced to heat, the atoms in he element gets excited. When they get excited, the electrons from the atom jump to a higher orbitals, then fall back down to the lower levels where they started. When they fall, they release energy in the form of light. When the light energy is given off, it is given off as a spectrum of lines, but they are not visable.…
