Abstract
In this paper CuO-NH-NH2 nanoparticle was synthesized and used to remove anionic dyes from single and binary systems. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the nanoparticle. Direct Red 80 (DR80) and Direct Green 6 (DG6) were used as anionic dyes. The effect of adsorbent dosage, dye concentration and pH on dye removal was evaluated. Kinetic of dye adsorption followed pseudo-second order for single and binary system. The results showed that the experimental data were correlated reasonably well by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm in single and binary system, respectively. The maximum dye adsorption capacity (Q0) was 217.3913 and 250 mg/g for DR80 and DG6, respectively.

Synthesis of CuO and CuO-NH-NH2
Synthesis of CuO: 1 g of CuSO4.5H2O and 1 g of NaOH were dissolved under stirring in 90 mL of distilled water. The mixed solution was sealed in a glass bottle and kept static at 120 °C for 24 h, and then cooled to room temperature naturally. The final precipitate was washed with distilled water several times to remove the possible residues and then dried at 120 °c for 12 hr.
Synthesis of CuO-NH-NH2: 1 g of CuO and 1.5 mL of ? were poured into toluene and refluxed for 24 h at 250 °C. The precipitate was filtered, washed with toluene and deionized water and dried.

Procedure: To conduct our experiment 10 milliliters of CuCL2 and 8 milliliters NaPO4 was added to its own 50 milliliter beaker. These solutions were then combined in a 150 milliliter beaker and mixed for 1 minute. The PH of the mixed solution was checked to see if it was accurate enough to go on with the experiment. The solution was then filtered using the vacuum filtration technique.…

    Ethyl vinyl ether was used to protect –OH on glycidol based on a literature reported protocal.59 In a typical procedure, 0.675 mol glycidol and 200 mL ethyl vinyl ether were loaded in a round-bottom flask, to which 1.25 g TsOH was then added. The reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature (RT) for 3h. The resulting mixture was then purified by washing with 100 ml saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 for 3 times. The organic layer obtained was dried by MgSO4. After filtration of MgSO4, the excess ethyl vinyl ether was removed by rotary evaporation.…

    Hazardous waste is dangerous to the environment and human health when not disposed properly, meaning cautions need to be taken seriously as chemistry students while working in lab. The objective of the Unknown White Compound experiment was to identify the compound by examining its chemical and physical properties. Identifying the unknown white compound to be potassium nitrate was achieved by completing the solubility test, flame test, pH paper test, ion test, pH probe test, conductivity probe test, and synthesizing silver nitrate and potassium chloride to form potassium nitrate. Uncertainty can be due to small contaminations from glassware not properly cleaned, molarity of chemicals not being exact, and not properly collecting the precipitate…

    Introduction An experiment was generated in the lab to enhance the understanding on taking the percent composition and formulating the empirical formula of a hydrate. In chemistry, hydrates are compounds which absorb water molecules and incorporate them as part of a structure. The hydrate in this experiment was an inorganic hydrate, meaning the bonds between water molecules were inadequate (What is a hydrate? (n.d.)).…

    Given an unknown compound in container 3, solubility tests, cation tests, anion tests, and conductivity tests can be used to determine the various properties of the unknown to then make a positive identification of the unknown. These results will not only show chemical and physical properties but also what the unknown compound might react with to form other compounds. After performing the four anion tests, a positive identification was able to be made showing that the unknown compound contained a chloride ion since a white precipitate was formed from the reaction (Table 1). The sulfate, nitrate, and carbonate tests all yielded negative results when no precipitate was formed. The reaction of the chloride anion is as follows: Cl-…

    From here, the scientist utilized the colorimeter to find the absorbance of this solution in collusion with the absorbance plot for Copper (II) Nitrate solutions of various molarities. From the linear fit of the Beer’s Law plot, calculations for the determination of the molarity and percent mass of copper were executed. Because the absorbance and concentration variables have a direct relationship in the Beer’s Law Equation, the linear fit was an accurate method for calculating the unknown. From the graph, it was observed that as the concentration (or molarity) of the Copper (II) Nitrate solution increased, the absorbance of the solution increased. The scientist was able to relate this finding back to her conclusions from the previous activity to realize that the dark the shade of blue, the less color variance that was reflected and the higher the absorbance.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to see how single-replacement reactions change the physical matter of the original reactants. Hypothetically, the use of 2.120g of CuCl2 should react with the iron nails forming exactly 1 gram of copper. Upon starting the lab process, there was a displacement of 2.120 grams of CuCl2 into the plastic cup containing 50 ml DI water before joining the two iron nails. After the solution sat overnight, the iron nails became black in exterior color, orange copper settlement collected at the bottom with the solution orange in color. Through decanting, the separation of the solution left the sediment of copper prior to the nails had been collected from forceps.…

    The dye molecule is mostly deprotonated and converted on the process to a reddish colored species that have the potential to bind to other proteins. Once this red colored species bind to a protein the bound dye molecule transforms to blue species, and this color change is the one measure by the spectrophotometrical. The assay is a spectroscopy analytical technique based upon the absorbance maximum for an acidic solution of Coomassie Brilliant Blue. From the assay is observed the maximum absorbance for an acidic solution of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 mostly shifts from 465 to 595 nm upon binding to protein studied occurs. Both ionic interaction and hydrophobic are used to stabilize the anionic form of the dye, which experience a visible change in the color (Stoscheck).…

    Background One of my project this semester was to improve the Cresyl Violet (CV) staining protocol used in the laboratory. Cresyl Violet is a dye used to stain brain tissues and it is commonly used in histological sectioning. The dye is basic and therefore it binds to ribosomes that are RNA rich and nuclei of cells, which are acidic. Also, the dye leaves a purple color on the stained neuronal tissues. For the purpose of most of our studies, Cresyl Violet staining is used to analyze the lesion size and location in the brain of mice.…

    To investigate which food dye color were present in the low-calorie Gatorade, a small sample of the Gatorade was inserted into a UV-Vis spectrometer to examine which color was being absorbed and reflected. There were two peaks, where the two colors were being the most absorbed. Once the absorbance was figured out, the food dyes that is needed in the Gatorade was present by using the color spectrum and the wavelength. These colors were green (514 nm) and orange (629.6 nm). Then the emitting colors can be solved.…

    A similar experiment such as the reaction of Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid includes the “Yellow Snowstorm” reaction – a reaction between Copper (II) and Thiosulfate. Copper (II) sulfate [CuSO4·5H2O] dissolves to give cupric ion (Cu2+); in the context of a redox reaction with thiosulfate, the cupric ion acts as an oxidizing agent. Reactions within the temperature on Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid occur as the result of molecules interacting with each other to create new substances. When Hydrochloric Acid is in an aqueous solution, it immediately provides a proton (H+) which is always attracted to any negative ions present – which is balanced overtime. The sodium ion (Na+) from Sodium Thiosulfate performs alike as the ion…
