Freezing Point of Naphthalene
I. Purpose
To determine the freezing point of a known substance, naphthalene
II. Materials
ringstand gas source test tube test tube clamps thermometer naphthalene
Bunsen burner goggles hose stopwatch
III. Procedure
1. Assemble the Bunsen burner, attaching one end of the hose to the burner and the other to a gas source.
2. Assemble the ring stand so that a ring clamp is attached to the stand holding the test tube that will be used in the experiment.
3. Fill the test tube to approximately 1/8 capacity with naphthalene crystals.
4. Place the thermometer in the crystals so that it is surrounded by the naphthalene powder but not touching the sides or bottom of the test tube.
Use a clamp to hold the thermometer in place.
5. Ignite the Bunsen burner and using direct heat melt the naphthalene powder until it completely turns to a liquid. When the temperature reaches approximately 90o
Celsius, stop heating.
6. Observe the change in temperature from 90o to 70o Celsius, recording the temperature at regular intervals, preferably 15 seconds. This data will be used to make a chart later.
7. Once the temperature has fallen to 70o, melt the naphthalene which is now frozen to remove the thermometer. Properly dispose of the naphthalene liquid as instructed by the teacher.

VI. Calculations
Using 80.1 oC as the theoretical value for the freezing point of naphthalene, we can now determine percent error.
Percent Error = ((Theoretical - Experimental) / Theoretical) x 100
Percent Error = ((80.1 oC - 79.0 oC) / 80.1oC) x 100
Percent Error = 1.4%
VII. Conclusions
In this lab, we heated the known substance naphthalene in a test tube to approximately 100oC and observed its temperature while it cooled to approximately 70oC. Over a time period of 12 minutes and 30 seconds, we recorded the temperature at regular 15 second intervals, and, with this data, constructed a chart showing the general curve. Upon inspection of the graph and our data chart, we found the experimental freezing point of naphthalene to be around 79oC.
The procedure of the lab on day one was to get a ring stand and clamp, then put the substance in the test tube. Then put the test tube in the clamp and then get a Bunsen burner. After that put the Bunsen burner underneath the test tube to heat it. The procedure of the lab for day two was almost exactly the same, except the substances that were used were different. The
The purpose of the experiment was to use the method of simple distillation to separate hexane, heptane, and a mixture of the two compounds into three different samples. After separation, gas chromatography determined the proportions of the two volatile compounds in a given sample.

In Lamb to the Slaughter, Mary Maloney seems like the doting, adoring wife, cooking meals for her husband, preparing a drink for him, even to the extent of taking off his coat for him. She is the dream housewife of the 1950’s. Not even half-way through the narrative, the story takes a darker turn for the worse. Mary murders her husband in cold blood due to Patrick Maloney (the husband)’s bombshell of divorce. [Warren 5]. This returns in The Landlady, with a cheerful, elderly lady who gives the air of warmth and kindness. She offers a young, budding businessman a room in her bed-and-breakfast. This seems to be nice and generous, but slowly, the situation morphs into one of evil. At the end of the story, it is revealed that she murders and taxidermizing her victims. Secondly, the act of betrayal in Dahl’s narratives acts as a cautionary tale to the reader. The fact is that this could truthfully happen in our daily lives. It’s told in a horror-movie like fashion. It is a way to warn the reader to not trust strangers; it is a way to follow reputable sources only. Even though the betrayal of characters is a main theme in Dahl’s stories, the reversal of the stereotypical roles is a major theme as
The product given, Acetanilide, was an impure product from a chemical reaction. It was purified through the process of recrystallization, where by-products and impurities were removed from the solid. This process gives a purer compound than what was originally given. Recrystallization is able to be used due to the solubility of the impure compound. Ideally, the whole solvent would completely dissolve in the water when the proper boiling point was reached. In this lab, the Acetanilide was soluble thusly this process would work properly. The end product of creating a pure substance was purified crystals.
Ethylene Glycol was first discovered in 1859 by a French chemist named Charles Adolphe Wurtz. Ethylene Glycol original purposes were to use them as raw material that manufactured polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations. It's mainly used for industrial coolants for gas compressors, heating, ventilating, air conditioning systems, and ice skating rinks. Ethylene Glycol is an organic compound belonging to the diols family. The chemical properties are its melting point which is 8.78F, boiling point 387.1F, state at room temperature -12.9C, and its density 1.11g/cm3. The common name is Ethylene Glycol but also know has ethanediol, 1,2-Hydroxyethanal, and Monoethylene Glycol.
Butane seemed to be a very stable and almost boring molecule. The atoms were just sharing electrons with no real net charge causing the molecule to be non-polar. The second molecule seems to have much more happening. The dipole on the Oxygen atom makes it seem much more complex. The main difference between these to is the fact that acetone is a liquid and butane is a gas causing acetones density to be substantially higher than butane. Both of these substances would float on top of water. The only main difference between the two molecules’ molecular formula is that acetone has an oxygen atom. Besides the one oxygen atom, they are essentially very similar atoms, but that atom completely changes its properties. That one atom managed to completely
Ammonium nitrate was a key ingredient in a bomb that killed hundreds of people. It is an odorless crystal salt that can be either white or grey. It is created by a combination of ammonia and nitric acid. (ammonium Nitrate fact sheet). The primary uses for this chemical are fertilizers and cold packs, as well as military explosives (Mathews J, 2014). Not only is it an oxidizer but under enough heat and pressure, it can explode (ammonium Nitrate fact sheet). This explosive property leads to it being labeled a hazardous chemical in toxicology reports. In the past it has been a part of terrorism attacks such as the Oklahoma City bombing and accidental explosions in fertilizer factories. The Oklahoma City bombing is known as
In a 250ml beaker place 100mls of water, measure the temperature of the water and record this initial temperature onto a table. Set the timer and add one teaspoon of Ammonium Nitrate to the water, stir this continuously until the Ammonium Nitrate has dissolved. After 1 minute measure the temperature and record it, do this for a further 2 minutes (3 minutes in total). Repeat this process for a total of 10 teaspoons.
After evaluating the information provided in our assessment scenario, methanol poses the greatest risk of fire and explosion, at least in my opinion. I came to this conclusion because methanol has a higher vapor pressure when compared to toluene (96 mmHg verses 22 mmHg). “Liquids with low boiling points have comparatively higher vapor pressures, because they evaporate readily at room temperature, which unfortunately, can make them volatile. Consequently, liquids with higher boiling points result in lower vapor pressure since they evaporate slower” (Meyer, 2014, p. 53). Vapor pressure is defined as “the pressure exerted by the vapor in equilibrium with its liquid” (Meyer, 2014, p. 53).
Daisy loved Gatsby and almost called off her wedding for Gatsby, but when she meets him again Daisy has been with Tom and has formed feelings for Tom. “‘Oh you want too much!’[Daisy] cried to Gatsby. ‘I love you now - isn’t that enough? I can’t help what’s past.’ She began to sob helplessly. ‘I did love [Tom] once- but I loved you too’”(Fitzgerald 132). Daisy loved him but she struggled to live up to his unrealistic expectations. Daisy tried but, it was exhausting and impossible for her, which is one of the main reasons Daisy left
2. In the large beaker, put water and boil it completely. After that, remove the beaker from heat. 3. Sample tubes (A-D) should be labeled and capped tightly.
Methodology: A plastic cup was filled half way with crushed ice and mixed with four spoonfuls of 5 mL of sodium chloride. A thermometer was quickly placed inside the cup to take the temperature and the
Preservatives are a substance used to preserve foodstuffs, wood, or other materials against decay. Preservatives can be man- made or natural. There are many types of preservatives. There are sorbates(200-203), benzoates(210-218), sulphites(220-228), and propionates(280-283). Nitrates can be classified too as preservatives(249-250). The numbers are a way of simplifying and organizing different types of preservatives.The preservatives are labeled on the labeling sticker. Benzoates have two versions of itself. Potassium benzoate and sodium benzoate. “Potassium benzoate (E212), the potassium salt of benzoic acid, is a food preservative that inhibits the growth of mold, yeast and some bacteria.”(Wikipedia March 31, 2016). It is found in mostly acidic
We eat food for energy, the more food eaten, and the more energy intake which allows the body to use as much energy needed. Food is divided into two categories: Macronutrients the direct source of energy such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates and micronutrients that co-agents in a bioenergetics process; they do not provide energy themselves, but help with metabolic process. “Macronutrients make up the largest part of the food we eat and supply us with the energy we need for daily life and for physical exercise. (Temertzoglou 376)”. Humans need twenty amino acids and certain foods contain all twenty are meat, eggs, cheese and milk. “Micronutrients are found in small amounts of food. They include vitamins and minerals which help in energy transfer and tissue synthesis (Temertzoglou 380)”. Micronutrients supply fat soluble, water soluble, and minerals such as calcium, sulfur, potassium, and more. The balance between macronutrients and micronutrients are the focus point for competitive meals for athletes. Pre exercise meals are objective to minimize fatigue and supply enough energy. The meals are increased in carbohydrates and decreased in fat and protein. During exercise meals main target is to rehydrate to help prevent low blood glucose levels. The best during exercise meal is not a meal, but a liquid with carbohydrates to digest effetely. Post exercise meals need to be easy to digest to replace lost
