Crystallization

This could be due to the crystallization of the higher melting fractions followed by the lower melting fractions or crystallization of a certain polymorphic form followed by its isothermal crystallization to a more stable form.…

1) Important solubility characteristics for a solvent to be used in the crystallization of an organic solid that’s contaminated with impurities is that the organic solid should have low solubility at low temperatures in the solvent, but highly soluble at high temperatures. Also, the solvent should allow the impurities to be either completely soluble or completely insoluble at all temperatures. 2) One way to improve our percent recovery is by making a second crop of crystals by removing the…

Abstract The Purpose of experiment is to introduce the technique of crystallization, by following methods to purify the antibiotic sulfanilamide away from acetanilide. From the laboratory experiment, 0.51 g of impure sulfanilamide was at first measured and experienced in the crystallization procedure. Because of different steps of the experiment, the last mass of the crystal was 0.22g. This demonstrates the procedure decreased the underlying mass by 0.28g which mean the 43.13% recovery using…

rock candy? Ever wonder if you could try to find a way to make the crystal bigger? I am testing different forms of sugar in different temperatures of water to see if it will form a bigger crystal. Sugar dissolves due to its molecules separating from one another, crystallization is a chain reaction where the melted sugar starts to re-form, and different types of sugar crystalize differently due to the overall elements and shapes of the molecule. In the early 16th-century sugar cane…

Gas Hydrates are a crystalline solid formed of water and gas, the gas is mostly methane. It looks and acts much like ice. It is important to study gas hydrate because it is a potential source of energy for human survival in the future as there is a critical need for a cleaner and viable source of energy (Sun et al., 2011). .It was earlier speculated that gas hydrate is only found in space but later research showed that it can be found on almost every continent on the earth (Mongillo, 2011). Gas…

During the experiment, we removed the water from the hydrates using heat. A hydrate is a compound in which water molecules are chemically bonded to another element or compound. The removal of the water from a hydrate leaves the anhydrate. To find the amount of water in the hydrate, the hydrate’s mass can be measured. Then the water can be removed from the hydrate and the substance can be measured again. Finally, the subtraction of the mass of the substance after heating from the mass of the…

Freezing and crystallization are linked in that both processes involve initial nucleation followed by crystallization. Sonication is thought to enhance both the nucleation rate and rate of crystal growth in a saturated or supercooled medium by producing a large number of nucleation sites in the medium throughout the ultrasonic exposure. Two main theories which explained the mechanism of nucleation are Hickling theory and molecular segregation theory. Among two theories Hickling is most commonly…

However, Trg does not incorporate the other aspect of GFA,[39] which is the thermal stability of glass. The second parameter used to calculate the glass forming ability was ΔTx=Tx−Tg which expresses the width of the supercooled liquid region SCL, the temperature difference observed during heating between the onset crystallization temperature, Tx and the glass transition temperature, Tg. Usually, unstable glasses show a crystallization peak close to the glass transition temperature. Therefore,…

4. Using a hot plate, fill the beaker with water half way, place both the 2.00 and 2,50 gram samples in the water, and bring the water to a boil. 5. While this is happening, start to heat the test tube containing the 3.50 grams sample with an alcohol burner. Continuously stir until the solute has completely dissolved. Make sure that the contents in the test tube do not start to boil. 6. Place the thermometer into the solution, allow the contents to cool down while stirring. 7. When the first…

Once it was heated and left to cool to room temperature the crystallization process began. It did took about several minutes to see some crystallization but once it did a bunch of crystals began to appear. To speed up the process we stirred the solution. When we separated the aspirin from the mixture while using vacuum filtration some of our product was lost during the transfer. In the purification section, we used 20 mL of ethanol and 40 mL of water to reduce the likelihood of hydrolysis.…
