Green No. 3 Dye Lab Report

548 Words3 Pages

After analysis, we have determined Red No.3 dye is the most polar of the three dyes. This is due to the fact that this dye consistently had the lowest Rfvalues. Conversely, the most nonpolar of the solutes was Green No.3 as it had the greatest Rfvalues. This conclusion coincides with the theory that the most polar solute will have the lowest Rf values due to its attraction between the polar cellulose fibers. Further, the Green No.3 dye is the most nonpolar due to its high Rfvalues which were the result of its lack of attraction to the polar cellulose fibers. Overall, the objective of identifying the most polar and nonpolar solutes through the use of paper chromatography was attained. Through the course of this lab, we have assimilate into learning how paper chromatography can help us …show more content…

This can be of greater use when using this form of paper chromatography to separate mixtures, as we have grasped an understanding as to how this form of chromatography allows for us to identify the polarity of each constituent substance. Thus, during the examination of mixtures, we will be able to identify each component based on factors such as its Rfvalue and polarity. Potential errors in this lab could have occurred in many facets. One of our procedural errors involve our failure to mark the distance traveled by the solvent in the solutions which were of 0.02M. This failure inhibited our ability to compare the Rf factors and differences in the movement of the solute in the differing concentrations. Ergo, not allowing us to identify the effect that higher concentrations of the solvent have on the solvent during paper chromatography. This error could have been fixed in the case that we would have marked the final distance of the solvent. Furthermore, after making the solvents at 0.02 M, we failed to immediately place a stopper in the flask. This may have affected the amount traveled by

The purpose of this lab is to determine what color food dye were in a sample of purple low calorie gatorade. In order to recreate the color of the gatorade three food color dyes were given, blue, red and yellow at a certain concentration. The absorbance of the gatorade was found by measuring it in a UV-Vis spectroscopy to determine which two wavelengths having the most absorbance. The absorbance curved peaked at 514 nm and 629.6 nm. Which means the color green and orange were being the most absorbed.

This is supported by the absence of a white precipitate, which would indicate Cannizzaro products. Also, the use of a graduated pipette is important to ensure precise measurements of reagents. According to Calculations 2 and 3, the amount of moles of acetone and benzaldehyde are very similar, and this could make determining the limiting reagent difficult. However, precise values yield the lowest possibility for error.

The concept of absolute configuration refers to the spatial arrangement of the atoms. In a compound with chiral groups, the chemical composition is the same; however, the arrangement of each atoms in the chiral group can be varied, enantiomers for instance refers to compounds being the mirror image of each other. Using the CEC method, the absolute configuration of the analyte will be revealed. Both enantiomer of HBTM are used for comparative analysis. If the reaction with S-HBTM is faster, then the conclusion is that the configuration of the analyte is R. If the reaction with R-HBTM is much faster, then it can be conclude that the secondary alcohol is a S configuration.

We did the TLC to determine whether our predictions of our crystals were right by co-spotting with what we predicted each compound to contain. The TLC was successful in showing that we predicated each compound correctly because they co-spotted on the same horizontal line as the Excedrin component in them. Due to the different polarities of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine they travelled different lengths up the plate, as discussed before, and this allowed for the overall success of TLC. The Rf values varied from about .21 for the caffeine, .50 for the acetaminophen, and .71 for the aspirin meaning we were able to easily differentiation whether our crystals and extracts contained one of the compounds. Due to the variety of polarity leading to a clear distinction in the Rf values of the three components, we were able to successfully use TLC to identify the compounds in each of our crystals and extracts.

The impurities in the solution easily travel around the large chunks of alumina, whereas if the alumina was crushed, more of the impurities would be filtrated out of the solution. Another improvement that can be made is to use a longer column to filter the aspirin solution through. A longer column will allow for further filtration of the solution. One last improvement that can be added to this experiment is to use TLC chromatography, instead of column chromatography, in order to separate out the components in the drug mixtures. Due to the fact that this experiment involves over the counter drugs and pharmaceutically active ingredients, this procedure can be used in the making of medicine.

That was probably the most significant source of error in the experiment. Also, another source of error is that not all of the test tubes, beakers, flasks, and funnels could have not been thoroughly cleaned out, so there could have been some contamination issues with any of the results of any of the

The prediction was correct because ferrocene, seen as a yellow layer, was first to separate. The second layer that was separated is acetyl ferrocene, which appeared orange. A TLC was ran to determine the Rf value of the yellow and orange layers. The yellow layer had an Rf value of .98, while the orange layer had a Rf value of .93. From these values, it was determined the higher Rf value was probably a more nonpolar solute since the gel is polar.

Hence, Acetylsalicylic acid and acetaminophen were present in Anacin and Tylenol tablets respectively. Introduction Chromatography is the technique of separating of mixtures based on their intermolecular forces. It separates according to their adsorption differences. Intermolecular forces make molecules bind on the solid surfaces; this process is referred to as the absorption. A molecule undergoes desorption process when it moves from the solid surface into the solution.

Most of the systems vary to include ratios of chloroform, methanol and water. triethylamine, ethanol, hexane, and isopropanol are also common solvents in the mobile phase. Phospholipids migrate to the stationary phase a certain distance on the basis of the composition and affinity for the mobile phase. Identification is based on the delay (Rf), wherein the ratio of the distance moved by the analyte (i.e., the phospholipids) from the origin of the distance moved by the flowing solvent from the origin. Each of the analyte will have its own Rf value under certain circumstances.
