Filtration

acetic anhydride. The mixture in the test tube was stirred for five minutes and allowed to cool to room temperature. Then, the test tube was placed into an ice bath for fifteen minutes. The precipitate formed was then filtered using vacuum filtration. Once the filtration process was completed, we measured the powdery solid using constant weighing to obtain the dry yield of the product formed. The acetaminophen synthesized was used to perform cerium and universal indicator tests. These tests…

Production of soaps and detergents for oil spill cleanup With another catastrophic oil spill hitting the coast in the last 50 years an environmental group has volunteered to help clean up the spill, specifically to use on affected birds. With environmental concerns in mind, tasked was to create an environmental friendly soap or detergent sufficient enough to clean up the mess left behind. In addition to the creation of soap for the purpose of cleaning, needed was a soap or detergent that would…

main mixture which is the salt, sand, chalk, and water mixture can’t be separated using only one separation technique; it should be separated by parts. First, a filter paper was used to separate the salt and water from the chalk and sand. is the filtration process, a separation technique using a filter paper to separate solid particles in a liquid. Second, acid dissolution, using HCl (Hydrochloric acid) that will react with calcium carbonate to produce CO2 , thus creating a chemical reaction.…

Benefits of Using APEX Countertop Mineralized Alkaline Water Filter The Benefits of Good Water Quality Bad water is bad for you, but safe water is key to life — and good for you! Water and health are linked. According to the CDC, the top causes of disease outbreaks related to drinking water are Giardia intestinalis, hepatitis A, norovirus, andShigella. Bad as that sounds, it’s far from a complete list. Still, water is essential. The human body is, after all, 70% water, and although a human being…

different compounds, the melting point and solubility test had to be done. Maleic acid was prepped from dissolving maleic acid anhydride in deionized water, cooled, then filtered, and fumaric acid was prepped from refluxing the filtrate from the vacuum filtration, cooled and then filtered. Because fumaric acid did not dissolve in water or melt after being heated 3-5 minutes, it is safe to say that it is a completely different compound from maleic acid. Because we lost our maleic acid compound…

environmental pollution is a worldwide pollution. But there are others that strongly disagree. Water pollution is the cause of many health problems in the poor countries which rely on their contaminated water source every day, however in the U.S. water filtration happens every day leading to less health issues and problems compared to the lower poor countries, For example “ Water Pollution is the contamination of natural water bodies…

industrial waste and marine dumping, oil leakages, fossil fuel burning, fertilizers, pesticides, and outdated and unkept water distribution systems. This example is a major one because the majority of our nation’s water is treated in plants or in private filtration systems, but as the water travels through these obsolete pipes, rust and other pollutants enter the water supply which in turn pollutes the water. However, the main cause of contamination is human related. Because we are so unaware of…

it will then be molded into a round or square shape with concrete and lead. after the concrete and lead harden you will make a hole to enter the shelter. once the hole is made you will recover it with dirt and grassy stuff. add a door and air filtration. add some furniture and you are done! Through the ages, bomb shelters have used many different materials to protect its inhabitants. However, a modern bomb shelter requires many materials for possible protection. As you could imagine, shielding…

absorptivity and concentration values of each of the diluted samples of the Porcion Red MX-5B were graphed and evaluated in comparison to the measured absorptivity of the dye extracted from samples of magnetic bentonite clay and of charcoal through filtration. From the data collected in this experiment, it was found that charcoal was a more effective alternative to use as an absorbing agent in rivers to clear the water of harmful PAHs. INTRODUCTION…

all the ice cubes had melted the precipitate was isolated using vacuum filtration. The product was dissolved in warm methanol and dissolved because of solubility rules. Once the methanol had cooled, 5mL of water was added drop wise to the solution causing the myristic acid to crash out of the solution. The solution was cooled in an ice bath and once recrystallization was complete the crystals were collected by vacuum filtration and were allowed to dry over a week so accurate melting points…
