Solid freeform fabrication

ethyl-4-aminobenzoate, and acetanilide, two of them were randomly given out, weighing 75 mg each. These mysterious substances were both placed in a 25-mL flask with 6 mL of diethyl ether. The substances with the diethyl ether were mixed together until the solids dissolved. The solution was cooled in an ice bath for a couple of minutes. Once the solution was cooled, 3 mL of 3M HCl was added and swirled into the solution. The top of the 25-mL flask was capped and the two liquid were mixed in a…

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…

Written Exercise Paragraph 1 1. Lattice symmetry of quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4: Quartz has a trigonal lattice structure with space group P3121 (group no. 152). At any temperature below 980K, Iron phosphate exists as α-FePO4, which has a trigonal lattice structure with space group P3121 (group no. 152) where iron, phosphate and oxygen occupy Wyckoff position 3a, 3b and 6c respectively. As the temperature rises up to and above 980K, α-FePO4 exhibits α-β transition and becomes β-FePO4 that shows…

PARAGRAPH 1 Comparing the crystal structure of α-FePO4 & β-FePO4 Firstly, the crystal structures of the alpha and beta Iron Phosphate can be identified from the paper. The lower temperature form, α-FePO4, has the space group P3121, while the higher temperature form β-FePO4, has the space group: P6422. These space groups translates to the lattice symmetry of trigonal and hexagonal respectively. The two space groups are chiral. α-FePO4 is the main form of Iron Phosphate in room temperature since…

Compare and contrast the crystal structures and crystal chemistry of quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4. The structural evolution of FePO4 arises due to the deviation in temperatures from 294K to 1073K via a process known as the neutron powder diffraction. This happens when the temperature of 980K is reached to result in the α to β transition. There are however certain observations of discontinuities in structural parameters during this transition. The stark contrast is that during the α phase, there…

The carbon supported PtFeS catalysts were prepared by a modified polyol method. In brief, 0.3 g carbon (Ketjen-black heat-treated at 2250 °C, SE = 160 m2 g-1) was dispersed in 135 g ethylene glycol. 5.993 g of 8 wt% H2PtCl6 (Umicore; Pt content, 39.8 wt%), 1.874 g of 8 wt% FeCl3. 6H2O (Sigma-Aldrich), and 0.352 g of 8 wt% (NH2)2SC (Sigma-Aldrich) previously mixed in ethylene glycol were added to the dispersion. The pH of the stirred reaction mixture was adjusted to ∼11 using 1 M NaOH dissolved…

Permafrost Remember Mood Rings? They were rings that change colors depending on your emotions. At least that’s what they wanted us to think. Mood Rings are really thermochroic liquid crystals that color changes based on the temperature of the finger. Something that seems so permanent like the color of a crystal is subject to change just by the mere change of the temperature of its environment. Some environments are also rigid and structured just like the crystals in Mood Rings, but yet, are also…

The topic for the experiment is how a cold pack can be improved. The problem statement is “Which chemicals would work best at lowering the temperature of water to improve a cold pack?”. The Independent variables are the are three chemicals, ammonium chloride, sodium chloride, and calcium chloride, that will be added to the water. The dependent variable is the temperature of the water in degrees Fahrenheit after the chemicals are added. The constants are the 50 mL of water in each cup, the…

Ice transforms at a point of degrees. This degree would be 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. It must be at this degree or lower to transform into ice. If it is higher than the freezing point of water, then it will be a form of water or ice melting into water. The different molecules, or also called the things that make up the ice or water, are more dense in cold water. They become dense and come to each other which makes them tight into an ice cube. When the ice gets warm, it moves the…
