    Physically, the unknown compound was composed of white, grainy, crystal-like structures. The unknown was also odorless. From these observations, various physical and chemical testing was performed to determine properties of the unidentified compound. A series of solubility tests were performed, as shown in Table 2, and revealed that the unknown compound was soluble in water, but not in Acetone or Toluene. Because the compound dissolved in water, it is known that the compound is either polar or ionic3

And there is some pre-lab information that found in the internet. By Experiment 3: Identification of a Substance by Physical Properties “Every substance has a unique set of properties that allow us to differentiate one from another. These properties can be classified as either physical properties or chemical

  • Explain Why Pure Substances Are Not Either In The Form Of Compounds

    1256 Words  | 6 Pages

    Final Essay Questions Pure substances are either in the form of compounds or elements. A compound can be decomposed by ordinary chemical means and are made up of two or more elements. An example of a compound is water, which is H2O. Elements, on the other hand, are pure substances that cannot be broken down because they are in their purest form and an example of this would be gold, which is Au. In contrast, mixtures can be made up of homogenous or heterogeneous mixtures that can be separated. In

    691 Words  | 3 Pages

    A new oral pharmaceutical drug for type- two diabetes had been approved for clinical use, it was called Compound 17392. Marketing companies instantly wanted to have prescribers adopt and sell the product and researchers wanted to further investigate previous reports of liver toxicity in patients. Now since paying patients to try new pharmaceutical drugs was an issue due to it appearing to interfere with clinical judgement and upholding the duty to do what is best for the patient, a new idea of

    857 Words  | 4 Pages

    Analyses - Let America Be America Again Langston Hughes uses a varied meter in “Let America Be America Again”. In the first line and title of his poem he starts with the first syllable [let] stressed, followed by a unstressed syllable [a]. This trochaic dimeter is used just for the first four syllables, following a iambic tetrameter starting with [ca] unstressed and [be] stressed. The second line starts with a trochee, but this time with eight syllables, therefore a tetrameter. The last syllable

    It is “foolish men” who fail to see that acute insightfulness is a vehicle for precise thinking. Nevertheless, the speaker shuns drawing conclusions about whether the creation of art contributes to, or ease madness, by attributing her speculations to theories others have proposed. In the final lines of the poem, however, she endorses the decision to explore dark corners of the mind and expand the limitations of the self by drawing attention to the affective dimension of the work, the beneficent effect

    In this lab, three unknown compounds were separated from a mixture and identified by melting point. Unknown mixture #124 has components of acid, base and neutral compound. The compounds were identified by melting point and matched up with the known melting points from a given list. In order to identify the compound it was important to separate by dissolving the mixture in an organic solvent which was not soluble in water, and then extracting the solution first with HCl, and then dilute sodium hydroxide

    The poem “A Fit of Rhyme against Rhyme” is a response to Samuel Daniel’s prose essay A Defence of Rhyme, in which Daniel describes rhyme as an “antidote to endless motion, to confusion, to mere sensation, to the sway of the passions” (Reading the Early Modern Passions: Essays in the Cultural History of Emotion, 146); while Jonson’s response describes rhyme as a “rack of finest wits, that expresseth but by fits true conceit” (1072, 1-3). Jonson’s poem ironically uses rhyme to ridicule rhyme in a

  • Ionic Compound Essay

    529 Words  | 3 Pages

    In science, an ionic compound is a concoction compound made out of particles held together by electrostatic powers named ionic holding. The compound is unbiased by and large, yet comprises of emphatically charged particles called cations and adversely charged particles called anions. These can be basic particles, for example, the sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) in sodium chloride, or polyatomic species, for example, the ammonium (NH+ 4) and carbonate (CO2− 3) particles in ammonium carbonate. Singular

  • Separate Neutral Compounds

    In this experiment, extraction was used as a separation technique to separate the acid, base, and neutral compounds. In extraction, two immiscible solvents with different polarities are used to dissolve and separate different solute components, so they form two distinct liquid layers. In this experiment, ethyl acetate, an organic solvent, and an aqueous solution, were used as the two immiscible solvents. The extraction solvent must be capable of dissolving one of the mixture components, without irreversibly

  • Unknown White Compound

    objective of the Unknown White Compound experiment was to investigate the compound’s physical and chemical properties to correctly identify and then synthesize the compound. The first step was to test the compounds solubility and create a solution with distilled water. Next, a pH test was conducted by testing the unknown compound using pH paper. Following, the flame test was used to determine the cation and the ion test was used to determine the anion, which concluded the compound to mostly be potassium
