  • Sulfur Dioxide
    Corn Sugar (crude & refined) Analysis F-54-1 SULFUR DIOXIDE PRINCIPLE Sulfur dioxide is released by boiling an acidic sample solution, and it is removed by sweeping with a stream of nitrogen. The gas stream is passed through dilute hydrogen peroxide solution where sulfur dioxide is oxidized to sulfuric acid. The acid is titrated with standard alkali. (Note 1) SCOPE The method applies to crude and refined sugars (Note 2) and, with minor modification, to most liquid and solid samples even in the presence of other volatile compounds. SPECIAL APPARATUS 1. The FDA modified "Monier-Williams" apparatus (Figure 1) is available from Fisher Scientific, 91/92 Cat. No. K513800 (Kontes 513800), Pittsburgh, PA, and affiliates worldwide. It or some of its parts are also available from other laboratory supply houses. (Note 3) 2. Heating mantle, for a 1000 mL boiling flask, controlled by a variable transformer. 3.

  • Chemistry Lab Course
    Chemistry Lab Course Kantonsschule Zürich Nord Tilmann Geldbach 2015/2016 Chemistry Lab 2 Preface The aim of this lab course is that you learn how to conduct simple chemical experiments and how to document these experiments. You should learn to carefully observe and – based on these observations – come up with explanations and hypotheses about what you have seen. During the course you will learn basic lab techniques, the proper use of standard equipment as well as how to handle harmful chemicals. Organisation It is expected that you have studied the lab instructions of the current experiment before the lesson has started. Remaining questions can be clarified before the lab session starts. In most cases you will be working in pairs. You should always take notes on what you are doing and on what can be observed. There is a work sheet for most of the experiments. You should return this work sheet at the end of the lab session or unasked in the next theory lesson at the latest. These work sheets will be graded with bonus points. The lab should be fun! Therefore make an effort to create an atmosphere that is pleasant both to you and your classmates. You should help each other both during the experiments and during clean-up. Not all substances that are used in the lab are harmless. Pay attention to the safety instructions below and on the sheets of the respective experiment. Safety There are essentially three ways in which a chemical substance may enter your body: by oral uptake, by inhalation or by absorption through the skin.
