Recommended: Type of intermolecular force

The chemicals studied in this experiment was methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and heptane. The similar ties of these chemicals are solubility of alcohols and the difference is the ability of a substance to dissolve. The chemical substances are different from one another because of intermolecular forces. Butanol has dipole-dipole interactions but also has a London dispersion forces, propanol has dipole-dipole interactions but because it is smaller there is weaker London Dispersion forces. Liquids that mix in all proportions, such as acetone and water are miscible and those that do not dissolve in one another are immiscible. Relationship between Vapor Pressure and Molecular Weight in Part A was liquids such as methanol, ethanol, propanol,

    It was learned that changing the volume of the same substance will never change the boiling point of the substance. However having two different substances with the same volume will result in two different boiling points. The purpose of this lab was to determine if changing the volume of a substance will change the boiling point. This is useful to know in real life because if someone wanted to boil water to make pasta and did not know how much water to

  • Separation Of A Liquid Mixture Of Ethyl Acetate And Toluene

    159 Words  | 1 Pages

    The objective of this experiment is to separate a liquid mixture of Ethyl Acetate and Toluene through the process of Fractional Distillation. It is also to determine the mixture composition and the physical properties of the two liquids. Fractional Distillation “is used to separate (purify) the different liquid components of a mixture.”1 This type of distillation differs from Simple Distillation in which the mixture being used “is composed largely of a single liquid component.”1 Both processes use the liquids boiling point for the purification. If a liquid is gathering and the temperature corresponds to the theoretical boiling point of the liquid, then that liquid is what is being collected. The theoretical plate is “Each section of the

    In this lab, lab 4.3 Comparing the Concentrations of Saturated Solutions, we set out to find and compare the solubilities of two solids in water. In addition, we tested if solubility is a characteristic property of a solid in a given liquid. This lab allowed us to test and use a reliable way to measure the solubility of a solid. This lab can be replicated for any solid with the same procedure, thus it gives us a method to calculate solubility. The two solids we tested in this experiment were NaCl (Sodium Chloride) and NaNO3 (Sodium Nitrate).

    Fig. 2(A) shows the phase diagrams of IPM, water, and surfactant mixtures at the ratios of 60:40, 65:35, and 70:30 (v/v), respectively. Fig. 2(B) shows the phase diagrams of ethyl oleate, water, and surfactant mixtures at ratios of 90:10, 95:5 and 100:0, respectively. Filled circles mean self-emulsifying points, and black areas represent the self-emulsifying regions. In other area, the compositions showed inverted emulsion, gel-like form, or phase-separation. In general, when the oil content in the oil and surfactant mixtures is ≤30%, the condition of the mixtures changed from water-in-oil emulsion to a clear gel-like form and then to microemulsion. Otherwise, the dispersions showed phase separation, this result was similar to the results previously studied by Guo et al. [16]. Our finding showed that IPM + surfactant mixture (65:35, v/v) and ethyl oleate + surfactant mixture (90:10, v/v) showed the most self-emulsifying regions (Fig. 2). Overall, in contrast to IPM + surfactant mixture (65:35, v/v), ethyl oleate + surfactant mixture (90:10, v/v) showed finer emulsion in larger self-emulsifying range. These results indicate that ethyl oleate and Tween 80:Carbitol (90:10, v/v) were identified as the optimal oil

  • Volume When Water And Isopropyl Alcohol Are Mixed Together

    Previously, the prediction was that the volume would be additive of all 3 of the mixtures. This theory has been disproven by the multiple tests done in this experiment. When adding together the substances of water & isopropyl alcohol, the results bore a denser mixture than either of the two alone. This result points to a conclusion that the properties of volume for this mixture are subtractive by an average of a nearly 4% reduction, while the other two remain additive.

    Molecules attract one another’s opposite partial pole due to London dispersion and Coulomb force. Substances in a mixture are not chemically bonded. There are four types of intermolecular bonds with ethanol which are London dispersion, dipole-dipole, covalent, and hydrogen. Ethanol will interact with water and bond producing a tightly bonded mixture, where as vegetable oil does not mix with water molecules. Theses structures are depicted in the figure below:

  • Unknown Liquid Lab Report

    The purpose of this lab was to determine the density of water and an unknown liquid, along with a rectangular solid and an irregular shaped solid. In this lab, the relative density was calculated and then used to make an educated guess on the substance. Density is the relationship between the mass of a substance and the amount of space taken up. This measurement is influenced by the mass of atoms, the size, and how they are arranged. The density of the four objects was determined by using the mass (g) and volume (mL or c3). Mass is the property of matter that measures its resistance to acceleration. In addition, volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies. Finally, the mass (g) was divided by the volume (mL or c3) to find the final density (g/mL or c3).

    This implies that the vapor pressure of both benzoic acid and camphor are significantly greater than the vapor pressure of tert-butanol. In trial 4 there were less moles of camphor present than in either trial of benzoic acid, yet it had a similar effect on the freezing point of tert-butanol (Figure 3). This supports that camphor has a much higher vapor pressure than both tert-butanol and Benzoic acid. When benzoic acid was added to the solution in trial 3 in greater amount than trial 2, the temperature change was greater, further supporting that benzoic acid has a higher vapor pressure than tert-butanol. This is supported by the data, the experimental groups all reached greater temperatures, and remained liquids at lower temperatures (Figure 3). The accuracy of that recorded data may have been impacted by human error. The actual freezing points of the solutions were difficult to determine accurately due to the equipment used, although the trends overall trends of the experiment were still visible. The method of temperature measurement may have affected the outcome of the experiment. The temperature attachment for the Lab Quest 2 system was held in the test tube by hand, and likely came into contact with the test tube the solution was in. The test tube likely

In this final sub-section of the Characterization of Aspirin, the values of absorbance were recorded. Initially, 0.0566 grams and 0.0590 grams of pure and crude Aspirin respectively were obtained and each individually placed into beakers (400 milliliter) and had 250.0 milliliters of distilled water added to them. From each beaker, a tiny amount of the just dissolved solutions was transferred to a cuvette, one cuvette for each type of aspirin. Each cuvette was placed into the ultraviolent spectroscopy mechanism which was connected to a computer and absorbance spectrum values were obtained at 298 nm (Figure 5) (0.1987 pure aspirin, and 0.9549 crude aspirin).

  • Correlation Between Methylene Blue And Potassium Permanganate

    2337 Words  | 5 Pages

    All things, living or nonliving, consist of atoms and molecules. These particles are constantly in motion, and this continuous motion allows for the disbursement of molecules, or diffusion. The overall net movement of these molecules will go from areas of higher concentration, to areas of lower concentration. Therefore, following a concentration gradient (Martini). The rate of diffusion of these molecules, in accordance with Fick’s law of diffusion, is directly proportional to the concentration gradient present. However, the concentration gradient is not static and will change over time and with distance, therefore changing the rate of diffusion. It is hypothesized that the two solutions being tested, Methylene Blue and Potassium Permanganate, will begin their initial diffusion in the agar gel at a quick rate, and then progressively regress over the allotted time of 1 hour. Another factors other that will have an effect on rate of diffusion is molecular size. There is a substantial difference in molecular weight between Methylene Blue (320 g/mol) and Potassium Permanganate (158 g/mol). The combined molecules present in Potassium Permanganate are lighter than those in Methylene Blue, and therefore should allow it to diffuse more rapidly.

    The last part of experiment 5, was learning about specific gravity and temperature. Specific gravity does not have any units, it is unitless. When measuring for the temperature, we used a thermometer to calculate the Celsius of the water, 10% sodium chloride, and isopropyl alcohol. The specific gravity uses a hydrometer to measure the gravity of the liquids. Using the hydrometer, to figure out the measurements we have to look at it from top to bottom. The water for specific gravity was .998 while the temperature of it was 24
