Purpose:
The main purpose behind this experiment is to know the how the strength of the intermolecular forces changes with the molecular size and structures. Based on the examination of the evaporation of different liquids and by determining the vapor pressure of different alcohols at a different temperature.

Producer:
There will be two parts in this experiment to know the strength of the intermolecular forces of different liquids, to conclude the role of the molecular size and structure of the intermolecular forces.
Part A:
In the first part of the experiment, the temperature changes will by measuring by the liquids evaporation, and since it is an endothermic reaction, the temperature will decrease. The temperature probes will be connected, and the computer will prepare to collect the data, as a first step. Two

As a first step, four water baths will be prepared based on different temperature ranges, in a 600 ml beaker. After that, the probes will be connected to the channels. A rubber stopper assembly will be inserted into 125 ml Erlenmeyer flask, and the plastic tubing will be attached to the pressure sensor, and it will keep open. While it is open, the value of the atmospheric pressure will be recorded using the computer. Then, the temperature probes and the Erlenmeyer flask will be placed in a room temperature water bath, and the valve will be opened at that time. And after 1 minutes the valve will be closed, and 3 mL of methanol will be drawn up into the syringe. After this step, the methanol will be squirt into the Erlenmeyer flask. The pressure and the temperature data will be collected after that step. When the data is collected, the white valve will be opened to retune the flask to the atmospheric pressure. At that step, the methanol will be evaporated from the Erlenmeyer flask. At the end, the same procedure will be repeated but with ethanol instead of

    Zach Verlander was the recorder for this lab. Greg and Kyle tag teamed to calibrate the flow rate of the water using a graduated cylinder to measure the volume and a stopwatch for the time. Zach was in charge of controlling the computer system and recording the data it displayed. After calibrating the flow rate, Kyle was in charge of one pressure sensor, while I moved the other pressure sensor from spot to spot. Having two people manage the pressure sensor decreased the chance of mixing up the two sensors.…

    In this experiment, unknown B was a solid mixture containing two compounds of interests, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and neutral benzoic acid. These compounds were separated by extraction and washing, and liquid-liquid extraction was specifically performed. Extraction is the process by which a compound of interest is selectively removed from impurities, and washing is the process by which unwanted products or impurities are selectively removed from the desired product. In liquid-liquid extraction, unknown B was dissolved sequentially into two immiscible liquids via a separatory funnel.…

    DISTILLATION The purpose of experiment 1, fractional distillation and gas chromatography, was to separate an unknown organic mixture into two liquids. The primary process of separation was fractional distillation, which utilizes the physical properties of the two unknown volatile liquids. Once the unknown mixture was successfully fractioned, gas chromatography was used to help determine the identity of the two unknown liquids. Fractional distillation and simple distillation both take advantage of two major physical properties to separate liquids.…

    INTRODUCTION The trends in physical properties of organic compounds such as boiling points and melting points can be deducted from their structures, including size (molecular weight, surface area), shape and functional groups. These factors significantly influence the strength of the intermolecular forces of attraction present; and the nature and strength of intermolecular forces determine the variations in boilingpoints of organic compounds. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the external or atmospheric pressure. At this temperature, every molecules of the liquid acquire enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces attracting them to the other molecules.…

    We notice that no change occur in appearance of oil even it being heat until 1900C. From the result obtained, we notice that the boiling temperature raise when salt and sugar is added but no changes occur when cornmeal and gelatin is added. Boiling point increase due to decrease of vapor pressure. Water does not vaporize easily because the surface area for water to escape to the surrounding is decreasing when solute like salt and sugar are added to it. More energy are required to increase the vapor pressure of sugar solution or salt solution to exceed the atmospheric pressure so that…

    If too much of the sample liquid entered the capillary tube, some was removed by lightly tapping the tube on a paper towel. In each of the capillary tubes the sample liquid was moved to the middle of the tube by lightly tapping it; once the liquid was in the middle both ends of the tube were sealed by plugging both ends with some Vaseline. The capillary tubes were then arranged in sequence along the tube holder with a space between the 3 groups. The alcohol bath was then prepared by placing dry ice into it in order to lower the temperature to around -15°C. Gloves or paper towels were used to handle the dry ice.…
