Sodium alginate (SA) is a natural anionic polysaccharide obtained from sea weeds. It contains β-D-mannuronate (M) and α-L-glucuronate (G) residues linked by (1-4)- glycosidic linkages (Fig. 7.1) and arranged in homopolymeric blocks of each type and in heteropolymeric blocks [1]. It is a water soluble polysaccharide and has pKa values of 3.38 for the ‘M’ and 3.65 for ‘G’ units [2]. It can form complexes with positively charged polymers due to its anionic character. It is utilized as emulsifier,…

In this unit of my 9th grade Physical Science, we are learning and experiencing with labs. In this week's experiment, my class did the paper towel lab. Here, we tested the quality of three different paper towel brands, Viva, Up&Up, and Bounty. Each lab group was testing for a certain quality of each brand, such as strength and absorbency. Through different experiments, each lab group came to the conclusion that one paper towel brand had more strength or better absorbency than the other two. My…

reaction of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride dihydrate (the dihydrate must be included with the molar mass calculation)? Predictions: Predict the mass of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride dihydrate that will be required to produce 1.90 grams of calcium carbonate: Therefore, the predicted mass of sodium carbonate is 2.0 grams and the predicted mass of calcium chloride dihydrate is 2.8 grams. Materials: 2 Beakers (150 mL) Calcium chloride Sodium carbonate…

chart of the colors that each burn, lit the unknown on fire with a bunsen burner and compared the flame color with the colors in the chart. In order to identify the anion, we needed to perform four anion reactions: chloride, sulfate, nitrate, and carbonate. To identify a chloride, equal amounts of the unknown solution, 6M HNO3, and AgNO3 are mixed together and if a white precipitate is formed, the test is positive. To identify a sulfate, equal amounts of the unknown, 6M HCl, and BaCl2 are…

This lab used techniques in steam distillation to extract crude oil from cloves. The cloves were boiled in a round bottom flask and using a hydrodistillation apparatus, the crude oil was separated from the cloves and sent into a clean flask. This step was used to separate the essential oils from the cloves (Setzer, W., 2008). The distillate was poured into a separatory funnel and extracted three times with dichloromethane to extract the water. After being extracted three times, a fifth of the…

blends like chaat masala. Health Benefits of Rock Salt Rock salt has many minerals in very small amounts. Even so, its nutritional value is essentially the same as ordinary table salt and sea salt. All three consist almost entirely of sodium chloride. Sodium is important for health in that it has benefits such as helping your muscles and nerves to function properly. As with table salt, it is important to limit your consumption of rock salt. Diets that are high in sodium are…

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…

In our experiment we evaluated which liquid yeast would produce gas the fastest by measuring how long it took for certain liquids to inflate a balloon. We hypothesized that if the yeast and sugar were placed in a warm,sugary environment like apple juice, then the yeast will produce more CO2 and cause the balloon to inflate faster. The control was the room temperature Throughout the experiment the type of balloons, size of the erlenmeyer flasks, amount of yeast, volume of each liquid, and the…

Red Dye 1 Red dye 1 is most likely a polar covalent molecule since we have found that it dissolves into water but does not break apart into ions. Just because it dissolves in water does not make it solely polar covalent, but since it has a relatively low conductivity, 534 mS/cm in the 0-20000 range, then it most likely is polar covalent. This is further confirmed with the fact that it does not react with NaOH, NaCl, or AgNO3, all ionic substances. The red dye does not react with NaOH since…

worked and caffeine was isolated we used thin layer chromatography (TLC) to compare the extracted material to a standard solution of pure caffeine. We dissolved the sublimed caffeine in 3 mL of methylene chloride in a clean vial and then swirl the residue in the flask with 3 mL of methylene chloride. A pure caffeine solution sample was obtained. On a chromatographic plate, two lines were drawn 0.5 cm away from the short ends. Then place one drop of the caffeine solution on the line and next…
