Separation Lab Procedure

1646 Words7 Pages

(1) The purpose of the separation lab procedure was to help my group members and I successfully formulate our own plan before completing the experiment, handling multiple materials and substances, etc. It acted as a step-by-step plan that guided us throughout the experiment and ensured that we were well prepared ahead of time (ie. knowing what kind of materials were necessary and gathering the correct measurements of each substance); this made the experiment day much less hectic for all of us. It made reaching our goals (achieving > 85% recovery for each substance) more realistic and convenient. (2)We predicted that we would be able to easily separate each substance from the mixture through the use of our designed procedure. By using a bar magnet, we predicted that all the iron (and only the iron) would attract and quickly maneuver its way through the beaker and into the …show more content…

This was mostly likely due the fact that the distillation method occurred last in the procedure, while the filtration occurred first. The water and sodium chloride had time to sit with one another while the rest of the experiment was being conducted, meaning that some of the sodium chloride had time to completely dissolved within the water. By the time it was placed into the evaporating dish and over the bunsen burner, it was too dissolved to be recovered. If the water was added to the mixture/filtration occurred right before distillation occurred, the sodium chloride would have been able to be removed from the water due to the fact that less of it would have been dissolved in that shorter period of time. Additionally, the sodium chloride stuck to the sides of the evaporating dish and made it more difficult to scrape it off using a scoopula. If more time was devoted to using the scoopula to remove the sodium chloride from the corners and sides of the dish, more of it would have been

The purpose of this experiment was to identify the two components of an unknown mixture through diverse experimental techniques such as recrystallization, extraction, melting point, and acid-base reactions. From this, the group to which these two compounds belong to had to be determined. These groups are: Carboxylic Acids, phenols, and neutrals. By determining the melting points of the two unknown compounds, these values were compared to the values of melting points in the chart and the proper compound was selected. For the case of this experiment, the unknown mixture contained, 4-methylbenzoic acid.

This aqueous solution was then heated until all the dichloromethane evaporated off. An error could have occurred at this point in the experiment if the hot plate was too hot. If the hot plate was set above the boiling point of the ketone, the ketone could have evaporated of along with the dichloromethane. This would result in a lower percent yield of the ketone. To prevent this from happening, the hot plate should not exceed 130˚C, so no matter what ketone was isolated, it would not evaporated off.

Tyler White CHEM151LL 32658 04/01/2018 Different Types Chemical Reaction Types and Equations Purpose: The purpose of this lab experiment is to examine different types of chemical reactions such as Decomposition reaction, Synthesis reactions, Combustion reactions, and different Chemical equations. The experiments were conducted online using Late Nite Labs. Materials: Because the experiments were conducted online there wasn’t any physical use of materials, only digital ones, for these labs to be performed. Only the registration for the website was needed to perform these online labs, as well as a desktop computer.

Next, I had to test the different amount of sodium chloride in the water as I took four 250 ml beakers and labeled them A, B, C and D. Then added 100 ml solution containing 0, 1, 3, and 5, M sodium chloride in the each beaker. After I had set up the tripod and non-asbestos pad over a bunsen burner, I placed the solution from the beakers to the cylinder on the tripod and began to boil each solution one at a time and record the temperatures with the thermometer. The data that I collected is in the chart

An Independent Variable would be health conditions. For example, if one has asthma or not, this will affect the number of breaths that one makes. Thus, those health conditions cause the number of breaths to change. A Dependent Variable would the size of the bag. The Controlled Variables would be time intervals, number of people in a group, etc.

Abstract In this experiment the separation of a copper (II) chloride and sodium chloride mixiture was attempted. The main aim was to separate the compounds from eachother while receiving as much of the original mass of both substances as possible - in perfect conditions the original mass will be received after seperation. Many techniques were considered but dissolution, filtration and evaporation proved to be easiest and most reliable in a school environment with school equipment. The copper (II) chloride and sodium chloride mixture was dissolved in a methanol solution and filtered out leaving the sodium chloride behind.

Leah Romero 10/30/2017 Conclusion Lab 3 Chem 102L In lab 3, fundamentals of chromatography, the purpose was to examine how components of mixtures can be separated by taking advantage of different in physical properties. A huge process in this lab was paper chromatography, which was used to isolate food dyes that are found in different drink mixes. The different chromatograms of FD&C dyes were compared to identify which dyes are present in each of the mixes.

However, it is now known that that is not the fact, and that adding salt will do the opposite and make the water boil more slowly instead.

Abstract In this experiment, the isolation, characterization, and determination of concentration and purity of deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA from Allium Cepa or onion was performed. DNA was isolated through the use of a homogenizing solution. The absorbance ratio was 1.5, which indicates protein contamination. Moreover, the characterization of its components was conducted through the use of different chemical tests.
