The solution was created by mixing potassium hydroxide pellets (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO), deionized water, and fumed silica (Cab-o-sil, Cabot Corp., Boston, MA) in a stainless steel Bain Marie using a magnetic stir plate and polytetrafluoroethane magnetic stir bar. After fully dissolving the potassium hydroxide pellets in the deionized water, the fumed silica was slowly added to ensure full dissolution. The solution was allowed to mix covered for 24 h, after which any water content that was lost due to the exothermic reaction of the water and potassium hydroxide or evaporation was replaced to maintain the proper chemical composition. Potassium geopolymer of chemical composition K2O.Al2O3.4SiO2.11H2O was produced by mixing potassium
8.5 mL of acetic acid and 5.0 g (6.2 mL) of isopently alcohol were measured out and added into a 50-mL round bottomed flask. A few boiling stones were added to the flask and then 1.2 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added to the mixture under the fume hood. The reflux apparatus was set up- a condenser mounted vertically onto the reaction flask and two hoses attached to it. The water was to flow into the condenser through the bottom inlet and out throught the top outlet. A heating mantle was placed under the reaction flusk and the mixture was let to heat to boiling and reflux for sixty minutes. After the reflux period, the reaction flask was let to cool down and its contents were then transferred to a separatory funnel. 10 mL of water was added to the mixture, funnel was closed with a stopper and carefully shook while venting to wash out the mixture. The equous (lower) layer was drained off,
The round-bottom flask was removed from the heat and cooled to room temperature. Once the solution had cooled to room temperature, The solution was then neutralized with drops of NaHCO3 (GLR) until its pH was 7. After the solution was neutralized, the flask was put on ice so the crystals would precipitate. The crystals were then collected using vacuum filtration, rinsing with cold ethanol. The crystals were placed in a glass vial and allowed to dry for 24 hours.
The mixture was cooled down to room temperature and transferred to a separatory funnel where it was washed with four portions of 50 mL of water.
This was done for 15 minutes until there were no visible vapors coming from the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was then poured into a 50-mL beaker containing 5g of ice. The reaction flask was rinsed three times with 2 mL of dichloromethane. The rinsing was also added to the ice mixture.
We then created an ice bath using a 250mL Erlenmeyer beaker. The 50 mL Erlenmeyer beaker was then labeled as “Acid Extract”, and was placed in the
This process was then repeated two more times with subsequent additions of 10 mL of the 0.5M aqueous NaHCO3 and the aqueous layers drained off into the above mention labeled 100-mL beaker. Finally 5 mL of deionized water was placed into the funnel and mixed. The water was then drained off into the beaker containing the aqueous solution extracts. The solution was then saved until need later in the experiment.
We made a solution of deionized water, Hydrochloric acid, and Methyl Orange. We then determined the concentration of the Methyl Orange that was used to make this solution in particular. Five separate solutions
Evaporating is the procedure of a substance in a fluid state changing to a vaporous state because of an increase in temperature or potentially pressure. Evaporation is particularly successful while isolating solvent blends. (Contrasted with filtration, where in spite of the fact that it can at present separate dissolvable blends, its essential and most advantageous utilize is to isolate insoluble blends.) Not at all like filtration, had evaporation fully disposed of the solvent, abandoning no filtrate. Take, for example, a salty water blend. Whenever evaporated, heat is connected, influencing the dissolvable to evaporate, and the solute crystalized. For our assessment the technique of evaporation is done by evaporating the diverse fluids. Juices
This paper is on our seventh grade science project about which liquid evaporate the quickest. We are researching and testing which liquids evaporate the fastest. Liquids are used to keep you hydrated, and can cause different climate in different areas. It depends on if you live close or if you’re far away from large bodies of water.. Precipitation and evaporation, are the two main parts of the project and it is what this project is based off of because when liquids evaporate from the ocean and the particles rise and are caught into the clouds and are saved until heavy enough to fall and turn into rain, sleet, snow, or hail which is decided on temperature.
When it rains, puddles of water are often left behind, but it starts to disappear after just a few hours. What is happening? This is called evaporation. Evaporation is a very common natural process that occurs all around the world, where a liquid changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state. Evaporation occurs when enough heat energy is absorbed by the molecules in a liquid state to the point where it starts to vaporize. Do other liquids react in the same way? The answer is yes, but in this experiment, a heat source will be used to evaporate different liquids. The results will show if certain liquids do, in fact, evaporate faster or slower than others depending on their ingredients.
Into a conical flask put 15cm3 of distilled water and add 2cm3 of [X]moldm-3 potassium iodide (KI) solution and 1cm3 of 2moldm-3 sulphuric acid. Then add to this 2.5cm3 of 5vol (0.42moldm-3) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). For the second part of my investigation, the KI solution will remain a constant 0.3moldm-3 and the H2O2 solution will vary.
All halophiles must maintain their cytoplasm isoosmotic with their surrounding medium. Salt tolerance requires that compatible solutes accumulate in the cytosol and organelles where these function in osmotic adjustment and osmoprotection (Rhodes and Hanson, 1993). Some compatible osmolytes are essential elemental ions, such as K+, but the majority are organic solutesBiological membranes are permeable to water, and active energy dependent inward transport of water to compensate for water lost by osmotic processes is energetically not feasible. Moreover, cells that keep a turgor need even to maintain their intracellular osmotic pressure higher than that of their environment.
The solution will be sonicated to have an acceptable particle size (~80-100 nm) and sterile-filtered into bottles and stored at 4°C until time use.
Refluxing with anhydrous copper sulphate, alumina, aluminum chloride, P2O5 etc., and distilling under reduced pressure many times and collecting the proper fraction usually remove this. Vacuum lines are employed during purification, storage and dehydrating agent such as anhydrous alumina is added as an internal addition [44].
Starting the experiment, 1.0184 g of aluminum pieces were weighed out on an analytical balance. The aluminum was then placed in a 250 mL beaker containing 50.1 mL of 1.4M potassium hydroxide. The solution was then heated on a hot plate set at 80ºC for approximately 35 minutes with a spin of 240 RPM. At the end of the 35 minutes, the solution has become black in color and many of the pieces have broken down. The beaker was rinsed with 10 mL of distilled water after the mixture was poured through the Büchner funnel of the aspirator.
