    expressed in an equation: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2. P1 and V1 exemplify the pressure and volume before being change and P1 and V2 exemplify the pressure and volume after change. Boyle has contributed to the States of Matter quite a bit. The States of Matter Solids, Liquids, Gases, and Plasmas, or phases have different physical properties. According to chem4kids.com, “Elements and compounds can move from one phase to another when specific

    acetanilide containing two impurities. Recrystallization is a very common method that is used to purify solids. This process dissolves a crude solid with impurities in a mildly boiling solvent, and cooling down the mixture afterwards for crystals to reconstruct themselves in solution. This method allows impurities to separate and remain in solution as precipitate or remain uniform in solution. Solids are more soluble in hot solvents than in cold ones, allowing maximum dissolution for proper separation

    This experiment explored the multi-step synthesis of synthesis acetylsalicylic acid commonly known as aspirin. A common procedure used in organic chemistry labs is multi step synthesis. this procedure involves a cascade of reactions that ultimately lead to a desire product. The series of reactions begins with commonly found or readily available reagents which are synthesized into products which can be used for a secondary reaction, and so on and so forth until the final desired product is synthesized

    AP Chemistry 12/13/11 Round-Trip Copper Reactions Lab The purpose of this lab was to evaluate our skills of decanting a supernatant liquid without losing the solid and successful completion of a series of reactions. This was done through five chemical reactions involving copper. In this lab, elemental copper was put through five different chemical reactions in order to convert it into different compounds. By the end of the fifth reaction, the copper was back to its elemental state. In the

    either a  solid or a liquid- or perhaps even both? To begin with, discussing the essential knowledge of solids, liquids and even gases, clarifies any unknown concepts of these three states. Solids, Liquids, and Gases… What Are They? First of all, matter (mass, or anything that takes up space) stays in three state, which is solid, liquid, and gas; the fourth state is plasma (however this notion is more complex, and shall be learned later). Water follows the same theory as well.  A solid is considered

    product is the start of any experiment. Obtaining this information plays a key role in choosing solvents for processes such a recrystallization. Recrystallization is a procedure for purifying an impure compound in a solvent. It is used only to purify solids in large or small quantities. That is the purpose of this experiment. The product being used for this experiment is acetanilide (C6H5NH). The goal is to purify and recrystallize the organic compound in the appropriate solvent. Acetanilide was first

    properly to purify multiple organic solids. Recrystallization has become a fundamental technique in organic chemistry and the pharmaceutical industry, for separating and purifying organic compounds. Out of all the techniques used for purifying organic compounds, recrystallization is the most vital one. This is due to its effectiveness, convenience, and industrial applications. Recrystallization has to do with dissolving organic compounds to purify them. The solid acts as the solute as it dissolves

    The point of the experiment was to determine whether the chemical mixture will form a precipitate. The first step was to combine compound 1 and compound 2. After mixing them together, if a solid was created, a precipitate formed. Also for many of the chemical mixtures, the color changed. Silver Nitrate + Sodium Chloride created a precipitate. The precipitate was AgCl (Silver Chloride). The color of the precipitate was white. Copper Dichloride + Lead Dinitrate formed a precipitate. The precipitate

    the ability to fabricate and process nanomaterials and nanostructures is the first corner stone in nanotechnology. There exist a number of methods to synthesize the nanomaterials, which are categorized in two techniques “top down and bottom up”. Solid state route, ball milling comes in the category of top down approach, while wet chemical routes like sol-gel, co-precipitation, etc. come in the category of bottom up approach. Secondly, characterization of nanomaterials is necessary to analyze their

    Nerolin was prepared with a mixture of methanol, 2-naphthol, potassium hydroxide (KOH), and iodoethane using a reflux apparatus. A reaction mixture was obtained, and allowed to freeze. Nerolin crystals were obtained by way of gravity filtration and vacuum filtration in a successive manner. The nerolin crystals were further analyzed to show purity of the experimental product by examining the shape and size of the crystals, along with the melting point of the crystals. From this experiment, 6.44% of
