Qualitative Analysis Lab Report Organic Chemistry Laboratory II ABSTRACT: The purpose of this lab was to separate and purify two unknown compounds, one solid and one liquid, from an ethereal solution using the techniques of chemically active extraction, vacuum filtration, simple distillation, and recrystallization. Then identifying information was compiled about these unknowns by obtaining experimental melting/boiling point ranges, and analyzing IR and proton/carbon NMR spectrums It was determined that the unknown solid’s identity was m-nitrobenzoic acid and the unknown liquid’s identity was 4,4-dimethyl-2-pentanone. The calculated percent recovery for the purified crystals was 20.75% INTRODUCTION: 2 The goal of this lab was to isolate†¦show more content†¦Vacuum filtration is able to separate the solid from the liquid. For a diagram of the set up of vacuum filtration see the figure below: Figure #2: The set up for a vacuum filtration apparatus.5 The liquid unknown can be purified through the technique of simple distillation. Simple distillation is used to purify a compound that is almost pure already. It takes advantage of the fact that liquids have varying boiling points, and in this lab can be used to evaporate off the organic solvent (which has a very low boiling point) that was still in the organic layer with the neutral component, leaving the neutral component by itself. In simple distillation vapor rises from the distillation flask and comes into contact with a thermometer that records its temperature and gives a starting point for the liquids boiling point range. The vapor passes through a condenser, which turns it back into a liquid and it is collected in the receiving flask. To see a diagram of a simple distillation apparatus set up see the figure below: Figure #3: The set up for a simple distillation apparatus.3 The next techniques in this lab were identification tactics to determine the identities of these purified, unknown compounds. One was already mentioned, which is recording the boiling point range of the unknown liquid. This range can be compared with literature values to confirm the identity of the unknowns once otherShow MoreRelatedHeat Treatment and Qualitative Metallographic Analysis Lab3255 Words   |  14 PagesHeat Treatment and Qualitative Metallographic Analysis Lab ME 3228: Mechanics Materials Laboratory Summary Comparing a materials initial treatment and the microstructures that are formed from different processes, an engineer can accurately understand why certain treated materials of the same family can be stronger than another.

INTRODUCTION An unknown material can be determined by using simple chemical tests and separations which is called as inorganic qualitative analysis. The separation of cations depends on the difference in their propensity to form precipitates. Separation scheme is used to classify cation into five groups on the basis of their physical and chemical behavior opposedRead MoreMatter And Chemical Characteristics Of The Unknown Powders826 Words   |  4 PagesSeptember 23rd, 2014 Matter Qualitative Lab Report Purpose:- The purpose of the lab is to perform series of tests to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of several unknown powders, and then use that information to classify the unknown powders. Hypothesis:- I believe that by testing substances with various chemicals, for example, vinegar, iodine and that will help to find out what the substance is and what is it quality. Materials:- In order to perform this lab, you need:- †¢ LitmusRead MoreIdentifying Inorganic Compounds Using Qualitative And Chemical Tests1288 Words   |  6 PagesIdentifying inorganic compounds using qualitative analyses and chemical tests Jessica Vithayathil U84363206 CHM 2045L Section: 033 Aaron Clark October 13, 2016 Introduction Due to climate change during the turn of the 21st century and overall population growth, scientists have noticed greater amounts of negative impact on water sources (Barber, 2011). Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) have been identified as one of the root causes of stress for these water sources (Barber).Read MoreLab Report On The Chemical Parts Of A Substance1478 Words   |  6 PagesIntroductory Chemistry 1110 Qualitative Analysis Using Precipitation Reactions Lab reports are due week of September 29 – October 3, 2014.

This lab uses six different carbohydrates. Those carbohydrates are glucose, fructose, ribose, lactose, sucrose, and starch. Glucose, ribose, and fructose are all monosaccharides but fructose is a ketose rather than an aldose. Lactose and sucrose are disaccharides; however, lactose is formed by glucose and galactose, both aldoses, while sucrose is formed by glucose and fructose, an aldose and ketose. Starch is an oligosaccharide. This lab uses six different tests that canRead MoreQuantitative And Qualitative Research Methods871 Words   |  4 Pagesdistinction is often made in sociology between quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative methods intend to measure social phenomena by using mathematical methods and statistical analysis. On the other hand, qualitative methods mean to collect rich, detailed data, allowing for an in-depth understanding of an individual. â€Å"It is often assumed that quantitative approaches draw on positivist ontologies whereas qualitative approaches are more associated with interpretive and critical paradigmsRead MoreThe Challenges Of Educational Technology In K-12 Phystems796 Words   |  4 Pagesuse and adoption, a qualitative approach and multi-case study design will be employed. Qualitative and quantitative research approaches are two of the most commonly known and widely used research approaches employed in many social and scientific disciplines. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are often viewed as polar opposites or dichotomies with rigid distinctions between the two (Creswell 2013). However, John Creswell (2013) describes the relationship between qualitative and quantitative approachesRead MoreThe Properties of Chemical Reactions1587 Words   |  7 Pagesto making bread to leaves changing colour in the fall. A  chemical reaction  is the process that occurs when two or more substances combine to produce a chemical change. When a chemical reaction takes place, the change is indicated by one or more qualitative properties. The colour or odor could change, gas could be produced, a precipitate – a solid substance in a solution - could be formed, or energy could be absorbed or released. The substances initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactantsRead MoreAnalysis Of Anne Beaufort s Words, A Better, Product1599 Words   |  7 PagesWriting Intensive courses in the majors and beyond.
