    laboratory techniques inside the lab to get one oriented to the basic methods of procedure that can be used for later experiments. This experiment involves the separation of benzoic acid from a more crude form, consisting of benzoic acid, methyl orange, a common acid/base indicator, and cellulose, a natural polymer of glucose (Huston, and Liu 17-24). The technique that is used to perform this separation is called extraction. Extraction is a systematic process of separating mixtures of compounds, taking advantage

    The purpose of Chapter 4: The Separation of Mixtures was to determine methods of separating mixtures of solids, liquids, and gases using their characteristic properties. Prior knowledge that help provide background for this chapter can be found in chapters 3 and 4, which both contain information about characteristic properties. Chapter 3 focused on density, boing point, and freezing point, and the importance of characteristic properties, and Chapter 4 concentrated on the characteristic property of

    experiment is to separate a mixture of hexane and toluene by collecting fractions through simple and fractional distillation. Because hexane’s boiling point is about 68°C and the boiling point of toluene is 111°C, the two compounds distill at different times. Pure products will be analyzed with gas chromatography to determine the success of the distillation. For easy separations, a simple distillation apparatus probably will suffice, but for more difficult separations, a fractional distillation apparatus

    Extraction: Acid and Base Separation and Isolation Kaleigh Conway Chemistry 2270 Laboratory, Section 017 Instructor: Mudithangani Kolambage October 11, 2017 Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to investigate the method of extraction as a means of isolating pure compounds. In this experiment, the acid-base extraction method was used on a mixture composed of three separate components: an acid, a base, and a neutral component. The extraction solvent used was diethyl ether. Through sequential acid-base

    Some lab techniques learned in this lab are decanting, using a pistol grip when transferring beakers to one place to another and during decanting, and using a piece of partially submerged aluminum wire in the copper sample, shaking the wire around, and dislodging any particle of copper precipitate forming on the aluminum wire. Decanting is a lab method used to separate mixtures of solutions and solids by allowing the solid to rest at the bottom of the solution and slowly pouring the liquid out of

    Jessie Nalley 24 October 2017 Sailajah Gukathasan Fractional Distillation of Hexane and Toluene Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to separate and purify the liquid components of a mixture with a known composition using a technique called fractional distillation. In order to do so, a liquid mixture is separated into three fractions in the first distillation; then, one of the fractions produced is redistilled to increase the purity of the liquid. Since two rounds of distillation occur, the

    When performing the separation of a mixture, it is important to note the different physical and chemical properties of the individual substances in the mixture, such as polarity (polar and nonpolar) and solubility. Also important to take into consideration is the elemental composition and chemical makeup of the substances being manipulated. In this experiment, water and ethyl acetate are the two solvents given to be used to dissolve in the mixture. The water, being polar, will dissolve in other polar

    Morgan Anderson Kamryn Johnson Payton Johnson Sydney Roy 6th period 9/21/17 Separation of Mixtures Purpose A mixture is a blend of at least two types of matter. The two types of mixtures are heterogeneous and homogeneous. A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that does not appear the same throughout. A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that is identical everywhere. A mixture could be composed of elements and compounds; both are pure substances. A compound is when multiple elements are put together
