  • Lab 7: What Is That White Powder? Goals: the Goal of This Lab Is to Identify All Five of the Unknown White Powders You Are Given
    Chemistry 108, Spring 2017 Lab 7: What is That White Powder? Goals: The goal of this lab is to identify all five of the unknown white powders you are given. Each of these powders can be superficially described as a “dry white powder”, but they have different chemical and physical properties. You will need to develop your own procedure for this lab by reading the material given in this hand out. You will show your procedure to an instructor and it must be accepted before you can begin the lab. The possibilities of the unknown solids are given in the table below. FORMULA NAME USE NaCl sodium chloride Table salt NaHCO3 sodium bicarbonate Baking soda C12H22O11 sucrose Table sugar C6H12O6 glucose/dextrose Sweetener CaSO4 calcium sulfate Plaster of Paris (C6H12O6)n cornstarch Thickener MgSO4·7H2O magnesium sulfate (hydrated) Epsom Salts Na2B4O7 sodium tetraborate Borax KHC4H4O6 potassium bitartrate Cream of Tartar CaCO3 calcium carbonate Chalks, antacids NaOH sodium hydroxide Lye, drain cleaner Na2CO3 sodium carbonate Washing soda Procedure: You will need to develop your own procedure for this lab by reading the material given in this hand out. You will show your procedure to an instructor and it must be accepted before you can begin the lab. NOTE: You do not have to carry out each test on each powder. Tests You Can Perform: I.

    Updated June 07, 2021 Bulk Drug Substances Nominated for Use in Compounding Under Section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Three categories of bulk drug substances: • Category 1: Bulk Drug Substances Under Evaluation • Category 2: Bulk Drug Substances that Raise Significant Safety Risks • Category 3: Bulk Drug Substances Nominated Without Adequate Support Updates to Categories of Substances Nominated for the 503B Bulk Drug Substances List1 • Add the following entry to category 2 due to serious safety concerns of mutagenicity, cytotoxicity, and possible carcinogenicity when quinacrine hydrochloride is used for intrauterine administration for non- surgical female sterilization: 2,3 o Quinacrine Hydrochloride for intrauterine administration • Revision to category 1 for clarity: o Modify the entry for “Quinacrine Hydrochloride” to “Quinacrine Hydrochloride (except for intrauterine administration).” • Revision to category 1 to correct a substance name error: o Correct the error in the substance name “DHEA (dehydroepiandosterone)” to “DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone).” 1 For the purposes of the substance names in the categories, hydrated forms of the substance are included in the scope of the substance name. 2 Quinacrine HCl was previously reviewed in 2016 as part of FDA’s consideration of this bulk drug substance for inclusion on the 503A Bulks List. As part of this review, the Division of Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Products (DBRUP), now the Division of Urology, Obstetrics and Gynecology (DUOG), evaluated the nomination of quinacrine for intrauterine administration for non-surgical female sterilization and recommended that quinacrine should not be included on the 503A Bulks List for this use. This recommendation was based on the lack of information on efficacy comparable to other available methods of female sterilization and serious safety concerns of mutagenicity, cytotoxicity and possible carcinogenicity in use of quinacrine for this indication and route of administration.

    9—Solubility of Potassium Bitartrate Name: ___________________________________________________ Date: _____________________________________________________ Section: _________________________________________________ Objectives • You will be able to explain how the presence of a common ion in a slightly soluble ionic compound affects the solubility and the solubility product of a slightly soluble substance. • You will gain additional understanding of ionic equilibria in aqueous solutions Pre-Laboratory Requirements • Read Chapter 19.3, pp 633-643, in Silberberg • Pre-Lab Questions (if required by your instructor) • Laboratory Notebook—prepared before lab (if required by your instructor) Safety Notes • Eye protection must be worn at all times Discussion Slightly soluble ionic solids exist in equilibrium between two phases. We call the solid phase a precipitate when it is in equilibrium with anions and cations from the ionic solid. Limestone is a common mineral in the Shenandoah Valley, and its chemical name is calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is a slightly soluble ionic solid and an important mineral in many regions of the earth because of the solubility properties of slightly soluble ionic solids. 2+ The solid form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, dissolves in neutral water forming calcium ions, Ca , and 2- carbonate ions, CO3 . In the presence of water an equilibrium exists between solid calcium carbonate molecules and soluble calcium ions and carbonate ions. The calcium carbonate equilibrium is: 2+ 2- CaCO3 (s) ⇄ Ca (aq) + CO3 (aq) The solubility of calcium carbonate in neutral water is 0.013 g/L. Although 0.013 g/L is a very small number, over millions of years water is capable of dissolving huge quantities of limestone, forming large canyons (i.e., the Grand Canyon), making sinkholes, and forming beautiful geologic formations called travertine.
