  • Oxidation of 9-Fluorenol to 9-Fluorenone with Sodium Hypochlorite
    CHEM 2229 EXP 1: Oxidation of 9-Fluorenol to 9-Fluorenone with Sodium Hypochlorite Objective: In this experiment you will learn how to perform an oxidation reaction by oxidizing an alcohol (9- hydroxyfluorene) to a ketone (9-fluorenone) using sodium hypochlorite in an acidic environment; how to perform TLC to monitor a reaction; how to perform an extraction to isolate a product; and, how to verify purity of a product using TLC and melting point. * Chromatography is a useful method for separating components of a mixture of compounds based on their polarity. Thin layer chromatography is especially useful for determining the number of components in a mixture, the identity of the compounds, and the purity of a compound. **Solvent Extraction is also known as Liquid–liquid extraction (LLE) or partitioning. It is a method used to separate compounds based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids: usually the polar solvent water and a non-polar organic solvent. Immiscible means that the liquids do not mix and because of this form two distinct layers. ***The melting point (MP) is a physical property of a solid also used for the purpose of identification and purity determination.

Name: Ibukun Oluwoye Signature: Date: i ABSTRACT Fatty acid composition has a significant effect on the viscosities of fats and oils and in turn biodiesel fuels. The fatty acid composition of fats and oils are feedstock dependent and are also affected by factors such as climatic conditions, soil type, and plant health and maturity upon harvest. Due to the reasons mentioned, there is a need to determined major fuel properties locally for biodiesel samples. The viscosity of five biodiesel fuel in Northern Cyprus are measured up to temperature 140˚C; temperature just above the flash point of biodiesel fuel proposed by ASTM.

MiDDLETON, Associate Physicistj Division of Soil Chemistry and Physics, Soil Investigations^ Bureau of Chemistry and Soils ^ CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 Outline of method _ 14 Dispersion _ 3 General statement 14 Hydrogen peroxide treatment— 3 Preparation and dispersion of sample 15 Acid treatment—. 5 Separation into size classes 15 Washing 9 Calculation of results _.- 18 Dispersing agents 9 Apparatus _ 19 Electrodialysis--. 11 Summary 20 Shaking .-. 11 Literature cited 21 Separation into size classes 12 Size classes employed 12 Method of separation 13 Sedimentation velocity and particle size. 13 INTRODUCTION In all methods of mechanical soil analysis some separations are based on the well-known fact that the smaller particles in water suspensions fall more slowly than larger ones. In elutriation methods the smaller particles are borne upward by a rising water column while larger particles fall. In the early work of the Bureau of Soils the Osborne (20y beaker method was used to make silt and clay separations. Whitney (5) apparently was the first to use the centri- fuge to increase the settling velocities of soil particles. The centri- fuge method was then worked out independently by Hopkins (12) and Snyder (27), In 1904 the Bureau of Soils published its centri- fuge method (5)j which with modifications (9) has been used until recently. The centrifuge method was much more rapid than the beaker method and gave better dispersion than elutriation methods.

  • Lab Equipment Beaker
    Lab Equipment Beaker Beakers hold solids or liquids that will not release gases when reacted or are unlikely to splatter if stirred or heated. They come in a variety of sizes and the measurements on them are a guideline only. They are very inaccurate! Erlenmeyer Flask Erlenmeyer flasks hold solids or liquids that may release gases during a reaction or that are likely to splatter if stirred or heated. Volumetric Flask Volumetric Flasks are very accurate containers that are used to make solutions of a very precise concentration. They come in a wide variety of sizes. Solutions should never be stored in a volumetric flask, just prepared in them. Büchner Funnel A Büchner funnel is a piece of laboratory equipment which is used to filter or separate a solid from a liquid. It allows the solid to be dried faster than simply using a filter paper over a beaker as the vacuum aids in removing water. Graduated Cylinder A graduated cylinder is used to measure volumes of liquids. The are accurate to 1 decimal place. What’s the purpose of the yellow band at the top? Test Tubes 13 x 100 mm test tubes 10 x 75 mm test tubes Test Tube Holder A test tube holder is useful for holding a test tube which is too hot to handle. Test Tube Brushes Test tube brushes are used to clean test tubes and graduated cylinders. Forcing a large brush into a small test tube will often break the tube. Test Tube Racks Test tube racks are for holding and organizing test tubes on the laboratory counter.
