Jennifer Laney Chris Xue November 18, 2015 CHEM 106A Section 001 Project 6 Proposal Pigment Synthesis Equation: CaCl2(aq) + K2CO3 (aq)  CaCO3(s) +2KCl(aq) Procedure to Synthesis and Isolate Pigment: 1) Mix, 3.0g of K2CO3 and 4.0mL of water to create K2CO3 (aq) (liquid). 2) Mix, 2.5g of CaCl2 and 5.0mL of water to create CaCl2(aq) (liquid). 3) Mix, CaCl2(aq) and K2CO3 (aq) in a beaker and stir. The precipitate (CaCO3) will form. 4) Utilize suction filtration for the separation of the precipitate from water. 5) Heat the precipitate on a hot plate in a beaker to evaporate any excess water. 6) Place precipitate to the side for later Necessary Materials: • Water • Solid K2CO3 • Solid CaCl2 • Buchner Funnel • Suction Filter Flask • Vacuum Hose • …show more content…

Drying times will vary based on the amount of solvent used. To make the paint, 0.25 grams of pigment will be added to 5 grams of talcum and 1mL of vegetable oil. This will be repeated to make four equal solutions. Next, each of the solution will receive different amounts of the solvent NaOH. Needed Materials: • CaCO3 • NaOH • Talcum Powder • Vegetable Oil • 4 10 mL beakers • 10 mL graduated cylinder • Scale • Disposable Pipette •
