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…
results gathered from the first extraction experiment, though there has been an error. Originally, 0.170 g of caffeine was the starting amount that was made into a solution. However, 0.196 g of caffeine was determined to be found in the methylene chloride layer. A possible error that had occurred…
ability to digest and absorb nutrients. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a gene mutation action that encodes CFTR protein or the trans-membrane conductance regulator protein. The resulting chloride build up in the cells is what causes high production of mucous. This protein creates channels in the cell surface that allow Chloride ions to leave the cells, causing protein deformation and faulty…
Nowadays, we buy lots of products and things and most of those products we buy might have negative impacts on us humans, the environment and animals. Many of these products enter our homes and the one that is frequently used are cleaning products. Cleaning products mainly consist of toxic chemicals that can have a great impact on our health and the environment. Why would you risk your health? Cleanliness is an important thing and we all want our homes to be clean and free of germs, but what…
Kevlar Kevlar (poly para-phenylene terephthalamide) is a registered trademark for para-aromatic polyamide synthetic fiber that contains polymer (multiple chain bonds) which makes it extremely strong. It is flexible, light, and thermal stability allowing this unique synthetic fiber to be used in advanced technology applications such as bulletproof materials. Invention The invention of Kevlar® was developed in 1965 by a chemist, Stephanie Kwolek. Kwolek made the breakthrough while working at…
Firstly we need to recognize what hard water is, hard water is a water that has high mineral substance. Hard water happens when groundwater grabs minerals as it moves through rock and soil. It most normally grabs salts like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride. At the point when hard water is utilized to wash your dishes, it might turn out looking more regrettable than when they went in. Hard water leaves your dishes spotted and can even keep your dishes from getting as perfect as they should…
Witek-Krowiak et al., (2010) researched on the use of peanut shell to remove heavy metals from water solution. Cu (II) and Cr (III) ions were the heavy metals in this research, using Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich–Peterson and Sips models to examine data gotten from the tests. The preparation of the bio sorbent material (peanut shell) was prepared by washing with pipe and refined water for about 1-2hrs to remove dirt and colour, the washed peanut shells were dried in an oven for a day then mashed…
exprssion is higher in tissues with a higher cholride ion concentration (Kalin N et al, 1999). Mechanistic Consequences: The CFTR protein act as a channel that transports ions through the apical cell membrane of epithelial cells. These ions include chloride and bicorbonate ions, it also helps to regulate the balance of fluids in the epithelial tissues in the lungs, intestines, sweat glands and the pancreas (CFTR science, 2015). A mutation in the CFTR protein leads to a reduction or total loss…
