Identification And Synthesis Of An Unknown Ionic Compound...

Introduction The first part of the Identification and Synthesis of an Unknown Ionic Compound (Project 3 Week 1) experiment was to determine the unknown compound #202 that is given to the experimenter. The second part to the experiment (Project 3 Week 2) was to discover different tests the experimenter can conduct in order to prove that they have the specific ionic compound that they discovered in part one. Some of the ways that the experimenter can determine the unknown compound #202 they have includes, preliminary tests, physical state tests, solubility testing, analysis of anions, analysis of cations and flame tests (Dealing with Unknown Compound). There are many ways an experimenter can determine the ionic compound that they have, including pH tests, flammability tests (liquids and solids), solubility tests and heavy metal tests, just to name a few (Identifying Unknown Chemicals in Science Labs). Experimental Details The materials needed for this experiment included test tubes, a test tube holder, the unknown compound #202, 35mL beakers, gloves, safety goggles, ethanol (to clean equipment), stirrer (to mix solutions), the 15 possible compounds that are provided, pH strips, distilled water, wooden splints, spatula to get out unknown compound #202, waste bucket, Bunsen burner, graduated cylinder, 500mL beaker for the waste, plastic dishes to measure out compound and the scale.

The compound was identified as calcium nitrate by a variety of tests. When the compound was received, it was already known to be one of twelve possible ionic compounds. The flame test identified the presence of the calcium anion in the compound. The compound tested positive for the nitrate cation using the iron sulfate test. At this point it was hypothesized that the compound was calcium nitrateRead MoreChemical Compounds And The Compounds2276 Words   |  10 PagesThe unknown compound was solid at room temperature and was white. It was soluble in water, as indicated by Table 1. Of the list of possible known compounds, the unknown could not be CaCO3 or MgCO3 because neither one of those compounds are soluble in water, but it could hav e been any salt as the compound is ionic. From there, a conductivity test proved that the unknown compound conducted 1.1 volts of electricity, meaning the compound contained both positively and negatively charged ions that moveRead MoreOrganometallic Reactions : Identification Of An Unknown Bromide1317 Words   |  6 PagesREACTIONS: IDENTIFICATION OF AN UNKNOWN BROMIDE (Preparative) Introduction The first purpose of the lab was to prepare an unknown organomagnesium bromide, an organometallic reagent, reacting an unknown aryl bromide with magnesium in anhydrous ether. The unknown was chosen from a predetermined list of benzoic acid derivatives with varying molecular weights and melting points (see Supplement C).

It is applied to the production of mundane objects that include: plastics, polymers, soaps, detergents and drugs. Such compounds of organic chemistry involve the identification, modelling, chemical reactions and synthesis – it initiates the concept of design implemented in organic compounds (Helmenstine A, 2014). An example of an organic compound is the product of organic drugs in which are manipulated behi nd the chemistry of its design.

Elemental radionuclides are combined with other elements to form chemical compounds to form radiopharmaceuticals (or RPs). In NM imaging, RPs are taken internally and, then, external detectors capture and form images from the emitted radiation by the RPs. There are several techniques of diagnosis: scintigraphy (for 2D images), SPECTRead MoreThe Extraction of Pectin from Orange Peels13647 Words   |  55 Pages | In addition to the Germany and Great Britain, pectin is produced in France, South Africa and many other countries. International considerations are often important in the establishment of pectin production. The situation in U.S.S.R is unknown but at least temporary production of pectin from sugar beet residues and cranberries has been reported. The price of pectin is usually governed by its grade although other considerations such as convenience of application could also be of importants
