A total of 30 g of seaweed Sargassum sp. washed and dried. The dried seaweed soaked in a solution of 0.4% formalin for 6 hours and 1% HCl solution for 1 hour and then washed with distilled water to pH neutral. Furthermore, seaweed cut added a solution of Na2CO32% with a ratio of 1:30 (w/v). Subsequently extracted by Microwave at power level 70 for 16 minutes and then filtered. The filtrate obtained, was added 10% HCl (until pH 2-3). Then do the bleaching with NaOCl diluted with water 1: 1 to white. Then converted to sodium alginate by adding 20 g of Na2CO3 and stirred in a mixer. The resulting solution is then etched with ethanol to form sodium alginate fibers. Then filtering and pasta produced technical soaked in ethanol and dried in the sun for 12 hours until the moisture content of 12%. Furthermore, ground to a flour obtained sodium alginate. …show more content…

Power level optimization done on level 70, 80, 90 and 100. As time optimization of extraction is done at 15, 16, 17 and 18 minutes. Characterization of Alginate Characterization of sodium alginate was conducted to determine the physical and chemical properties of sodium alginate extraction results. Analysis of Water Content Analysis of water content is done by gravimetric methods AOAC (1990), by drying the sample at 105 oC alginate. The water content is determined based on the dry weight alginate that is a percentage of the dry weight of the initial weight. Ash Content Ash content analysis performed by gravimetric methods AOAC (1990), by burning the sample at 600 oC. Alginate ash content expressed as a percentage by weight of ash to the dry sample weight. Analysis of Pb and Hg Determination of Pb and Hg performed according to the method James (1995), using the tool Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The

Chem 51LB Report Ngoc Tran - Student ID # 72048507 The purpose of this lab is to examine the composition of three components of gas products of elimination reaction under acidic condition by conducting the dehydration of primary and secondary alcohol, and under basic condition by conducting the base-induced dehydrobromination of 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane. Then gas chromatography is used to analyze the composition of the product mixtures. Gas chromatography (mobile phase) is used to analyze the composition of three components of the gas products. A syringe needle with gas product is injected into the machine, and the component is eluted and the composition is related to the column or the peaks.

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to identify given Unknown White Compound by conducting various test and learning how to use lab techniques. Tests that are used during this experiment were a flame test, ion test, pH test, and conductivity test. The results drawn from these tests confirmed the identity of the Unknown White Compound to be sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) because there were no presence of ions and sodium has a strong persistent orange color. The compound then will be synthesized with the compounds Na2CO3 and HC2H3O2 to find percent yield.

It is also relatively easy to make, because it usually requires only three simple ingredients: flour, water, and salt. To make it, one must mix flour, water, and salt in a bowl and mix it until it turns into dough. Then, he or she rolls it out and cuts it into individual pieces. Finally, he or she bakes the pieces of hardtack for thirty minutes, flips them over, and bakes them for another thirty minutes. This simple recipe allowed the Union and Confederate armies to make trays upon trays of these biscuits, enough to supply each soldier with nine to ten of them per day (Colleary).

In this lab we used two processes called Diffusion and Osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Diffusion is a process that requires no energy and involves smaller non-polar molecules. In Figure 1 you can see the molecules spreading throughout the glass from the area of high concentration, so that the areas with low concentration are filled evenly as well. The other process was osmosis.

Purpose This experiment is to determine the concentration of the solute copper sulfate pentahydrate, and the unknown solution, by passing different wavelengths of light through each solution. Procedure Weigh out approximately 5g of copper sulfate pentahydrate. Record the mass and place the solute into a 50 mL volumetric flask. Fill half of the flask with distilled water, add the stopper for the flask, and lightly shake the flask, until the copper sulfate pentahydrate fully dissolved.

Leaves containing water-soluble elements were boiled and turned from the solid phase into the liquid phase, boiling water. The calcium carbonate was added to form insoluble calcium salts with the tannins and gallic acid so that after vacuum filtration they would be removed. The sodium chloride salt was added after the vacuum filtration in order to raise the polarity of the water, making less amount of molecules soluble in it. This is because the salt takes the part of the space in water and many compounds become insoluble and are pushed out by the salt.

This liquid is mixed using large paddles to mix air into the mixture and oxidize it. When the indoxyl is oxidized, it turns into indigotin. Indigotin is denser than the rest of the liquid, so it settles to the bottom of the vat. This pigment is then sent to the third and lowest vat. To prevent the pigment from fermenting, it is heated in the vat.
