Microscale Crystallization-Craig Tube
Microscale Crystallization – Craig Tube For this experiment, we had to find the percent recovery and melting point of pure sulfanilamide from impure sulfanilamide using the crystallization technique. To start, .1004 grams of impure sulfanilamide was put into a Craig tube with enough ethyl alcohol to barely pass the top of the sulfanilamide. The Craig tube was put into a stone block until boil, then check to see if the solid material had dissolve. With the addition of two more drops from a supply of 2.7 mL of ethyl alcohol the Craig tube was put back into the boiling stone and the process was repeated four more times until the solid was completely dissolved. The Craig tube then transferred into a 100mL beaker to let cool down to room temperature. As the solution cooled down to room temperature crystals started to form. After reaching room temperature the Craig tube was then transferred into an ice bath until their no more crystallization. We then had to centrifuge the solution to separate the mother liquor and crystal. We then took the crystals out to try on a pre weigh watch glass (52.0994g) to dry. After drying the watch glass with crystal was weigh 52.1602g. It was found that the pure sulfanilamide recovery was .0608 with a percent recovery of .3944. Using the melting machine it was found that impure sulfanilamide had a melting point of 172 C and pure sulfanilamide had a melting point of 165.1 C. When comparing the boiling point of sulfanilamide to the actual boiling point (165-166 C) the experiment was right on. Comparing the boiling point of impure and pure sulfanilamide the impure had more substances in it so the boiling point was higher than the pure.

    The purpose of this experiment is to determine the boiling point of a liquid and the melting point of a solid. It is useful to know the melting point and boiling point of a substance to identify whether it is pure or not. I could learn how to determine the melting and boiling point of a substance through its temperature when the acetamide turned into a liquid and bubbles emerged from the capillary tube in the Isopropyl alcohol.…

    Erythro-Dibromide Lab Report

    In the lab, Bromide was combined with trans-cinnamic acid in order to see if the resulting product at the end of the experiment would yield either an erythro- or threo-dibromide. Based on how well this experiment was done there is a possible product that would have a melting point around 95°C, threo-, 205°C, erythro-, or somewhere in the middle which would be a combination of the two. The process of refluxing was used to purify the mixture followed by crystallization. In the end, the product that was yielded had a melting range of 188.4°C-190.1°C, which shows that the product was mainly comprised of erythro-dibromide.…

    The solution then gets foggy/cloudy and white snowlike precipitate is floating within the solution. Heat is added along with a stir bar. The stir bar starts stirring at minute 7. It begins to dissolve the white powder as it spins. At minute 26 the solution becomes clear with barely any flakes left. Sulfuric acid is then added and white flakes are formed. More acid is added until the pH paper turns red. The round bottom is filled with white precipitate. The precipitate is put onto a hirsh funnel that uses vacuum filtration to isolate the precipitate. The product is then added to a beaker with D.I water and heated. It’s put through the hirsh funnel . 3.68 grams of salicylic acid is recovered. The melting point is tested to compare to a perfect sample. The melting point is 146C0. The product is dried and added to a beaker with D.I. water and 10mL of acetic anhydride and 20 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid. This product is chilled to produce crystals. Its then filtered using a hirsh filter using vacuum filtration. Recrystallized and filtered one last time. The product is now acetylsalicylic acid…

    -The final product was a pasty, weight powder. Even after it was dry, it was still difficult to get a sample into the capillary tube because the product kept sticking to the sides of the tube. This may not be a property of the compound though it’s possible it could be a result of incomplete drying. The melting point range of the product was 246-249 C.…

    2 mL of dichloromethane was added to the test tube and then stirred for two minutes. The test tube was then centrifuged for 30 seconds making sure that another test tube equal in volume was placed across from it. A micro pipet removed the liquid above the solid after the test tube was done being centrifuged. The decantate was dispensed into the previously weighed watch glass. The previous steps were then repeated two more times. The watch glass with the decantate was placed to the back of the mini hood so the solvent could evaporate. After half of the solvent was evaporated, the watch glass was then moved to the drying oven. Once the solvent was completely evaporated and cooled, it was weighed and recorded.…

    We concluded if this experiment had gone the way expected we would have a melting point of 131-132 C. We believe this error was due to excessive amount of DCM prior to filtering when we tried to get all of the solution out of the reaction tube. We believe we had too small of a volume to attain crystals. We may have also disturbed the crystals too much, and they could not form…

    Simple Distillation Lab Report

    Distillation is the most common technique, it is a process wherein the liquid is separated from the solution by boiling the liquid solution and condensing the vapor in order to get the distillate. There are four kind of distillation: simple distillation, fractional distillation, vacuum distillation and steam distillation. Simple distillation is the process wherein the pure liquid is separated from the solution with different boiling points. 20mL of Vokda (Antonov) was placed in a pear-shaped distilling flask for heating until the solution boils, the maximum boiling point of it was 100°C. The pure liquid turned into a vapor and left the distilling flask. The vapor then was condensed in the condenser and turned into a distillate. The distillate was collected in a calibrated and numbered test tubes and the temperature was recorded as well. The group was able to acquire 22.50% of ethanol in the compound and got 22.50% of error in the simple distillation experiment.…

    (2013). Wettability of the powder sample was measured according to method reported by Jinapong et al. (2008). One hundred ml of distilled water at 30±2 °C was poured into a 250 ml beaker. A glass funnel held on a ring stand was set on the beaker with the height between the bottom of the funnel and the water surface of 10 cm. A glass rod was placed inside the funnel to block the lower opening of the funnel. The powder sample (1 g) was placed around the glass rod and then the glass rod was lifted while the stop watch was started at the same time. Finally, the time was recorded for the powder to become completely…
