EXTRACTION OF A KNOWN MIXTURE Separation of mixture of Acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) and naphthalene Experiment # 6 Introduction A technique called extraction will be demonstrated in this experiment. Extraction relies on the solubility of substances into solvents and the insolubility of the solvents into each other. In this experiment, three organic compounds (aspirin and naphthalene) will be separated from each other. The two compounds are all soluble in ethyl ether (an organic solvent). By…

The concrete is the second most used product world-wide after water. The construction industry is one of the vital sectors in the nation’s economy. The concrete mainly contains ordinary Portland cement as a primary binder and production of ordinary Portland cement causes 7% of the total greenhouse gases in to the earth’s atmosphere (Malhotra 2002) and production of the ordinary Portland cement produces carbon-di-oxide in mainly two ways , they are burning of fossil fuels and the other is…

Introduction Acid rain is a rain that contains a high concentration of pollutants, chiefly sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal or oil .It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure, when the sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, react with the water . The chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues.…

Si are therefore leached from the mafic rocks into the water. These elements are then precipitated as Fe- Mn oxides and hydroxides (such as goethite, hematite, magnetite and manganite), and carbonates during magmatic lull. Iron-manganese precipitation in the shallow depositional environment in the Venarch area has formed the bands of manganese, hematite, silica, and calcium carbonates. The Mn mineralization in Veanrch deposit has occurred as bands, laminates, and manganese layers concurrent…

100% oxygen and the test had been in progress fourteen days at the time of the fire. The odor removal system used activated charcoal and the Carbon Dioxide Removal System had an aluminum cover and consisted of a mixture of 80% calcium hydroxide and 20% barium hydroxide. A review of one unmanned and four manned experiments in which there were fires was undetermined. They were believed to be electrical in nature. The only fatalities occurred in the two accidents in which there was a flash…

Before the invention of modern antacids, people would chew chalk (calcium carbonate) to relieve the burning felt by too much acid in the stomach. But most currently used antacids are a combination of aluminum and magnesium hydroxide, often containing sodium bicarbonate as well. The antacids counteract stomach acid by neutralizing the acid, because antacids are formed of bases. Stomach acid, or gastric…

Fast Food: Is it worth it? Fast food is the most convenient food for Americans to have access to. When driving down the highway, a driver always has the option of numerous fast food chains at a lot of different exits. Fast food chains are not only convenient, but they are also cheap. Although the temptation of fast food is prominent, people need to check into what is going on at these restaurants. Reasons to avoid fast food restaurants include false advertisement of food, effects on the human…

Introduction The contamination of large bodies of water is becoming a greater problem across the world due to our rapidly increasing population. People commonly pollute these areas with their release of waste products and trash, and these contaminants can spread from small streams or lakes to oceans and complete ecosystems. The pollutants that are released into the water sources are often inorganic substances, and the dissolved forms of these compounds can become ionic cations and anions. An…

Heartburn is a common ailment across the globe that is unpleasant, and, if it is not treated, could potentially have severe negative effects on the body. The stomach is filled with a highly acidic fluid that assists in the breakdown of foods. The stomach is able to contain this acid because it has a special lining preventing the tissue from being burned by the low pH. The esophagus, a tube that connects the throat to the stomach, does not have that lining, and therefore is in danger of being…

CaSO4 CaSO4 has the largest oxygen carrying capacity among all the currently proposed carriers. The oxygen ratio is 0.4706 for CaSO4-calcium sulphide (CaS), much higher than that of many other metal oxides such as CuO-Cu2O, NiO-Ni, and Fe2O3- Fe3O4. Calcium sulphate is a relatively stable material. It is a widespread natural resource and therefore the cost would be quite low even if the demand is high. Through the thermodynamic analysis, it seemed that CaSO4 can be used as a promising oxygen…
