Experiment # 1

Title: Mixtures and their separation

Aim: To separate the dyes of screened methyl orange indicator by paper chromatography.

Apparatus:      Beaker, screened methyl orange, water, filter paper

Procedure:       Measure the depth of the beaker. Cut a filter paper into a rectangular strip to this measurement. Make the line with a pencil 1.5 cm across from the bottom. Place a drop of screened methyl orange indicator on the line. Suspend the filter paper in the beaker with water (depth of water should not exceed 1 cm). Allow the water to move up the filter paper to an appropriate level. Remove the filter paper and allow it to dry. Record all the measurements and observations. NB Attach chromatogram to lab book.

Discussion:    What is paper chromatography; list uses of chromatography, what is the purpose of the water, give reason for the separation, why one component moved faster/slower than the other, list one similarity/difference between the separated components.

Experipent # 11

Title:                   Saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons

Aim:                    To distinguish between a saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon

Apparatus:       cyclohaxane, cyclohexene, acidified potassium manganate (VII) solution, bromine solution, test tubes.

Procedure:       Place 2 cm3 of aqueous bromine and acidified potassium manganate (VII) into each of two test tubes. Label the test tubes A and B. Using a dropper, place a few drops of the alkane into each test tube. Shake and record your observations. Repeat for the alkene.

                              

Observations: Colour of the solutions before and after each addition.

INVESTAGATIVE WORK (1)

Different brands of vinegar on a supermarket shelf are labeled to contain 5% acid. Some consumers are not convinced that this is so. Plan and design an experiment to determine if different brands contain the same percentage of acid.

  Guideline:

1.   Cal # of mol in diluted volume used in titration (25cm3)?

2.  Cal. # of mol in total dil. volume (250 cm3)?  [Same as the undiluted volume, original volume].

3.  Cal mass in the original vol (25 cm3) [ # of mol at 2  * molar mass]

4.  Det. % by mass of Ethanoic acid (mass at 3 / mass of original sample{25 cm3}) * 100 [ nb use density to calculate the mass.
