Perform the following with three 0.05g samples of unknown and the following solvents: methanol, water and toluene

Solutions of 6M H2SO4, 6M NH3, 6M HCl, 6M NaOH, and 1.0 M of NaCl, 1M Fe(NO3)3, 1M NiSO4, 1M AgNO3, 1M KSCN, 1M Ba(NO3)2, and 1M Cu(NO3)2 were given in separate test tubes. The color of possible precipitates, ions, acid-base behaviour, odor and solubility rules were conducted and were reported in Table 1. The key information about a mixture of two solutions was

After they acquire the 10 ml of 4 x resolving gel buffer, in a separated clean beaker, they proceed to add the 10 ml of resolving agent plus the deionize water, the Acrylamide/ bis solution, APS, and TEMED in this specific order leaving APS and TEMED last. When the solution was prepare, they assemble the gel caster to add the 15% gel mix to the gel caster. The 15% gel mix was only added to a little more than half of the gel caster. They added on top of the 15% resolving gel solution, 1-butanol saturated with H2O, this will avoid the mixing of trace water with the gel and further its evaporation leading to

In this communications, PEDOT: PPS electrode is employed as a counter electrode in a dye-sensitized solar cell for low-cost photosensor applications. TiO2 nanomaterial is used as photoanode. The structure of the PEDOT: PPS film was investigated by atomic force microscope. This DSSC behaves like Schottky diode at the dark condition. The photovoltaic behavior was studied in the light intensity range 5 - 130 mW/cm-2. This cell has a stable fill factor of about 0.5 for all the studied illumination intensity range. The linear photo-response of the current suggests that new designed DSSC with the polymeric counter electrode is a promising device for the low-cost photosensor. The cell shows capacitance inversion from positive to

The main objective in crystallization is to produce a pure substance. A chemist is able to achieve this by isolating the pure form from the impure form, using methods of dissolving, cooling/crystallizing, and filtration. It is also important to select the best solvent to crystallize the material; the best solvent shows the desired solubility behavior (Pavia et al 26).

In the last run where I successfully produced a powder, 0.58 g (2.8 mmol) BTC and 1.2 g (5.1 mmol) Cu(NO3) · 3 H2O were mixed together at room temperature in 4.5 mL of DMSO. The solids are not easily dissolved so it takes mild heating and about 30 minutes of stirring. I raised the temperature up to 100°C and allowed to remain as constant as possible while the solvent evaporated. The entire time it was impossible to see any precipitate because the solution was green. The only way I was able to tell the MOF precipitated out was when the stir bar slowed down and the solution got darker. The solid formed was clumpy. I broke it up with a spatula and filtered it with ethanol several times.

In the first part of this experiment we will learn to crystalize an organic compound then later on recrystallize it with the use of an appropriate solvent. The molecules of this compound are able to return to its previous solid form due to the solvents inability to hold on to its molecules and they start to move freely out in the solution and begin to form solid crystals. The reaction of the product being studied is shown below. The product of this reaction can be analyzed using NMR and IR spectrums.

One relatively new approach is testing different nanostructure metal oxide sorbents. The goal for this research is to find a sorbent that has a combination of high affinity, selectivity, adsorption capacity, minimal cost, and last a long time. Some of the metal oxides that have been used in the research include hydrated titanium oxides, iron oxides, and magnesium oxides. These metal oxides were picked because of their favorable characteristics which include a high surface area, varying particle sizes, high capacity for adsorption, simple preparation, and the ability to be reused without losing activity. Figure 1 shows some of these solid metal oxides used in the experiments with varying particle sizes. These are represented with a different unit length scale shown clearly in each bottom right corner of the four different

Different techniques can be used to determine the solubility of a solution, such as filtration through paper cloth or evaporation by heat. In this experiment, the solubility was obtained through evaporation of the solvent by heat. Potassium sulfate and sodium chloride will used in solutions to test the solubilities at room temperature and approximately 40℃. Potassium sulfate will also be used in a solution to test the uncertainty of the experiment.

It is also possible that this monolayer will already be present on gel even before it contacts an aqueous solution. On the other hand, alcohol due to its vertical orientation can lead to random distribution of vertical stacks on isolated silanol groups. The gaps between these stacks present ideal location of solute anchorage on silica. In case of esterification (resulting from small amount of water in alcohol) we believe that small size of ethoxy group will permit solute to find some anchorage points on silica.

(2012) - This paper content the study of LLE for 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol or 2-butanol + sodium sulfite + water ATPSs, and the experimental binodal and tie-line data at T = 298.15 K were reported. The effect of different alcohols and different anions on the phase-formation ability of the studied systems was discussed considering the intermolecular interactions. Also, to study the effect of temperature on the phase separation ability of the studied systems the cloud point data as a function of alcohol mole fractions at T = 293.15–323.15 K with 5 K intervals was measured. Also, the use of the Setschenow-type equations to study the slating-out effect of the mentioned ATPSs along with some previously studied alcohol + salt + water systems was discussed. The generalized electrolyte-NRTL model to the mixed solvent electrolyte systems (e-NRTL) was satisfactorily used for the correlation of the tie-line

Thus, numbers of articles devoted to ZnO photoelectrode with the aim of enhancing efficiency by reducing the charge recombination, and improving electrical/optical performance [9-12]. In this regard, doping is the most advantageous approach to modify ZnO structure. Different kind of metals such as lanthanum [13] aluminum [14], tin [15], magnesium [16], titanium [17] has been widely investigated in ZnO photoelectrode for improving the performance. Moreover, earlier reports on the DSSC have proven that the active area is directly proportional to the power conversion efficiency [18]. Therefore, we attempted to incorporate indium to improve above cited aspects with an idea working area (0.25cm2) of prototype DSSC. Indium (In3+) chosen as dopant, because it has a noteworthy contribution in transparent conducting oxide materials and much work devoted in indium doped ZnO as a transparent conducting oxide film [19-20]. Owing to their remarkable properties such as high electronegativity, minute native lattice distortion with preferable chemical stability make indium as suitable donor than other elements for finding high quality ZnO based transparent conducting oxide with excellent conductivity in DSSCs [21]. Rama Krishna Chava et al. reports the trivalent indium substitution in zinc oxide nanoparticles enhance the carrier concentration

These are considered as the major advantage of the SERS compared to normal RS. Furthermore, small sample volume, rapid analysis, non-destructivity, free of fluorescence, exact inference about the adsorption mechanism are other outstanding features of SERS. Despite all these unique features, some usual drawbacks and challenging issues of SERS include complicated synthesis process and high cost associated with highly effective and stable SERS substrates, low affinity of some molecules with substrate particularly in complex fluid containing multiple chemical species, low repeatability and reproducibility of SERS spectra and its high dependency on substrate size and morphology need to be
