Dichloromethane Lab Report

This technique uses two solvents which are immiscible, for example an organic solvent such as dichloromethane can be used to extract an organic compound from an aqueous solution leaving water soluble impurities behind. A variation of this is acid - base extraction where acidic or basic compounds are extracted out of organic solutions using basic or acidic aqueous solutions.
A solvent will be chosen that does not mix with the compound in which the substance of interest is currently dissolved, so that, when left undisturbed, they will form two separate layers, as with oil and water. It is also important that the compound to be extracted should have greater solubility in the solvent that has been added, and that this should not dissolve any unwanted

    Hydrochloric Acid Lab Report

    This lab makes use of the reaction excess powdered calcium carbonate and different concentrations limiting hydrochloric acid in order to determine the effect of changing concentration on the rate of the reaction. Students will carry out 3 trials of 5 experiments each trial. The five different experiments are for the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 mol/L). First measure out approximately 2 grams of powdered calcium carbonate using a weighing boat and analytical balance. Then, measure out 30 mL of 0.2 M hydrochloric acid into a volumetric flask.…

    Transactional Distillation Lab Report

    According to PubChem, the boiling point of pure methanol at 1 atm is 64.7°C. Distillation is a liquid separation technique based on boiling points. The experiment performed at a lower pressure would cause a decrease in the boiling point of methanol. Boiling point is defined when the vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Thus, decreasing the atmospheric pressure will decrease the boiling point.…

    Pinacol Was Mixed With Sulfuric Acid

    In this experiment, pinacol was mixed with sulfuric acid, which protonated the pinacol, allowing it to form a better leaving group. Water is the leaving group off of the pinacol and the pinacol becomes a carbocation. The carbocation that is formed is a secondary carbocation so, rearrangement occurs. A methyl shift happens to form a tertiary carbocation, which is more stable than a secondary carbocation. Then, the remaining oxygen forms a double bond causing it to have a positive charge; allowing the carbon that had a positive charge to have a full octet and to be neutral.…

    Unknown Lab Report

    The focus of this lab was to identify an unknown organism based on its characteristics and the results from each of the tests. There will be various of test to choose from in order to identify the unknown organism, which will eliminate numerous possibilities and narrow it down to one. All the fundamental skills that we have learned and practiced in the lab will be used to perform on our unknown such as aseptic technique, microscopic examination, the use of differential media, and determining if it’s positive or negative. Performing aseptic techniques is the most crucial step that requires the utilizing of transferring, inoculating, and storing bacterial cultures and media. Aseptic technique is defined as procedures that prevent contamination…

    Separation Of Toluene And Cyclohexane

    Fractional distillation is a common method for separating components of a mixture by utilizing their boiling points to aid in the separation. As a mixture is heated, the component with the lower boiling point in the mixture vaporize, while the higher boiling point component will remain in solution. These vapors will rise to a cooler area where they will condense and this liquid will then be collected; this is known as the distillate. Eventually, the lower boiling component will boil off, and the higher boiling point component will begin to travel up into the condenser as the temperature reaches the boiling point of the second component. As the second distillate is collected, it will mostly contain the higher-boiling component.…

    Analysis Of Acetone And Toluene

    After starting with 30 mL of an unknown mixture of two solvents, fractional distillation and gas chromatography were used to identify the unknowns as acetone and toluene in a 1 to 2.04 ratio of acetone to toluene. Fractional distillation was first used to separate the unknown mixture into its components based on boiling point. Distillation refers to the method of separating components of a mixture through heating and cooling. Simple distillation, which is especially useful in the separation of less-volatile substances from volatile substances, such as sugar from water, can be used to separate a liquid-liquid mixture if the boiling points of the component liquids differ by more than 40-50°C. A plot of temperature versus volume for a simple…

    In this lab, the main objective is to identify the identity of an unknown compound via the methods of extraction, recrystallization, and melting point determination (University of Windsor, 2015). An important factor in this experiment is solubility. Solubility is the affinity for one solvent over the other. Liquids, or aqueous solutions, that may dissolve the same compound are commonly found to be miscible. By using liquid – liquid extraction a compound can transform into an ionic form, soluble in polar solvents (water), through acid-base reactions.…

    MDMA Synthesis

    MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), commonly referred to as ecstasy, and methamphetamine are central nervous system stimulants, which can produce euphoria, enhanced mental and emotional clarity, sensations of lightness and floating, and other hallucinations. (Chandra et al. 2015) Due to their effects, MDMA and methamphetamine are used in Drug-Facilitated Crimes (DFC), intended to impair behaviour, perceptions, or decision-making capacity to take advantage of an impaired person without their consent. In fact, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) proved that young women under the influence of MDMA were more likely to have sex with men they had not intended to, as amphetamines increase sexual desire and lower inhibitions.

    Cyclohexane Extraction

    Extraction involves dissolving a compound or compounds either from a solid into a solvent or from a solution into another solvent. In extractions it is important to mix the layers very well to get a clear visual of the two solvents in the solutions. We use the solvent extraction techniques to effectively separate an organic, Base, Acid and neutral compounds. Within each of these layers the experiment is modified to fit each of the different situations. So when looking at the solids, carboxylic acid, the amine and the ketone you can clearly see they are all soluble in diethyl ether.…

    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.…

    Purpose: We already knew that the chemical properties of each pure substance are not are not changed after separation in a mixture. The key to find a physical property that one part of the mixture does have but the parts of the mixture doesn’t. In magnetism a magnetically susceptible material is extracted from a mixture depending on a magnetic force. Filtration is separation of an insoluble solid and a liquid. Filtration depends on solubility, the filtrate is the one want to keep (liquid) and the residue on the filter paper is the solid (we may or may not want to keep depending on the experiment).…
