Lab Techniques

Bilimsel araştırmalarda, bir deneyin tekrarlanabilirliği son derece önemlidir. Bu nedenle, uygun laboratuvar tekniklerinin yanı sıra ayrıntılı prosedür kayıtları içeren bir laboratuvar defteri tutmak, deneysel bulguların çoğaltılmasına yardımcı olur.
Örneğin, sıvı hacmi gibi basit ölçümler, doğruluğu sağlamak için uygun cam eşyalar kullanılarak yapılmalıdır. Hacmi her zaman hacimsel şişe, dereceli silindir veya hacimsel pipet gibi hacimsel cam eşyalar kullanarak ölçün. Hacim menisküsün alt kısmında ölçülür.
Beherler ve Erlenmeyer şişeleri üzerindeki hacim işaretleri doğru değildir ve yalnızca kılavuz görevi görür. Hacimsel cam eşyayı seçerken, ihtiyaç duyulan hacim için mümkün olan en küçük kabı seçin. Hacimsel cam eşyalar, teslim etmek veya içermek için kalibre edilir.
Teslim etmek için kalibre edilen kaplar, cam eşya boşaltıldıktan sonra içinde az miktarda sıvı kalacağı anlayışıyla belirtilen hacmi sağlayacak şekilde tasarlanmıştır. Bu durumda kalan sıvının çıkarılmasına gerek yoktur ya da istenilen hacimden fazlası boşaltılacaktır. İçerecek şekilde kalibre edilmiş cam eşyalar, belirtilen hacmi tutacak ve teslim edecektir, ancak kalan sıvının tam hacmin alınması için dökülmesini gerektirir.
Gerçek bir değer elde etmek için ölçüyoruz. Ancak, her zaman bir miktar belirsizlik ve hata olacaktır. Ölçülen değer, genellikle bizim için bilinmeyen gerçek değere ilişkin en iyi tahminimizdir. Hata, ölçülen ve gerçek değerler arasındaki farktır. Ölçüm belirsizliği, gerçek değerin olma olasılığının yüksek olduğunu düşündüğümüz aralığı tanımlar. Ölçümleri kaydederken, uygun sayıda anlamlı rakamın korunması önemlidir.
Anlamlı rakamlar, bir ölçümde anlam taşıyan rakamlardır. Kaydedilen son rakam belirsizlik seviyesini tanımlar. Baştaki ve sondaki sıfırlar dışındaki tüm sayılar anlamlıdır. Ve sondaki sıfırlar, önlerinde bir ondalık nokta olduğunda önemlidir.
Örneğin, bir cetvel kullanılarak yapılan bir uzunluk ölçümünde, uzunluğun en az bir inç olduğunu, ancak kesinlikle 2 inç olmadığını görüyoruz. Yani, ilk önemli rakam birdir. Bir sonraki onay işareti 0,1 inç'i temsil eder ve aynı zamanda önemlidir.
1,1 inçlik bir kaydın iki önemli basamağı vardır ve belirsizliğin onda biri olduğunu ima eder. Ancak, gerçek genişlik iki onay işareti arasındadır. Yani, uzunluk 1.15 inç olarak bildirildiği için belirsizlik burada yüzüncü sırada yatıyor.
Ölçülen değerleri kullanarak hesaplamalar yaparken, hesaplamaları orijinal ölçümden daha yüksek bir çözünürlükte yapmamayı unutmayın. Bu ek rakamlar önemli değildir ve dahil edilmemelidir. Örneğin, kenar uzunluğu 1.15 olan karenin alanını hesaplarken, uzunluğun üç önemli rakama sahip olduğunu görürüz. Bu nedenle, cevabın da üç önemli rakamı olmalıdır.
Hesaplanan 1.3225 inç karelik alan beş rakama sahiptir ve hesaplamaya orijinal ölçümde olmayan bir kesinlik getirir. Böylece, doğru alan 1.32 inç karedir.
Bu laboratuvarda, bir yumurtanın yoğunluğunu ölçerek ve hesaplamalarınızda ve kayıtlarınızda önemli rakamlar kullanarak uygun laboratuvar becerilerini uygulayacaksınız. Ek olarak, laboratuvar not defterinizde kayıt tutma pratiği yapacak ve hacimsel cam eşyalarla yapılan ölçümlerin doğruluğunu inceleyeceksiniz.

laboratuvar teknikleri

<h4>Ölçüm Doğruluğu</h4>
Bir deneyi tekrarlama ve aynı sonuçları elde etme yeteneği veya tekrarlanabilirlik, bilimsel araştırmalarda çok önemlidir. Ancak, nasıl yaptığınızı bilmiyorsanız bir deneyi tekrarlamak imkansızdır. Böylece bilim adamları, deneylerinin ayrıntılı kayıtlarını laboratuvar defterlerinde tutarlar. Bu kayıtlar, kullanılan her bir malzemenin miktarı ve prosedürün her adımının açıklamaları gibi önemli bilgileri içerir.
Teraziler ve hacimsel veya dereceli cam eşyalar gibi ekipmanlar, deneyler için katı ve sıvı bileşikleri ölçmek için kullanılır. Her ölçümün hassasiyeti, kullanılan ekipmanla sınırlıdır. Dijital okumalara sahip teraziler ve diğer ekipmanlar, değerleri destekleyebilecekleri maksimum hassasiyette otomatik olarak görüntüler. Dereceli cam eşyaların ve cetvellerin hassasiyeti, iki işaret arasındaki en küçük mesafenin temsil ettiği miktar olan artışa bağlıdır.
Çoğu sıvının yüzeyi, cam kaplarda kenarlarda yukarı doğru kıvrılır. Bu tip kavisli sıvı yüzeyine içbükey menisküs denir. Sıvının kenarları aşağı doğru kıvrıldığında buna dışbükey menisküs denir. Sıvı hacimlerini ölçerken, sıvının üst kısmı için referans noktası, içbükey bir menisküsün alt kısmı veya dışbükey bir menisküsün üst kısmıdır. Menisküsün konumunu doğru bir şekilde belirlemek için, sıvının yüzeyine yandan göz hizasında bakılarak sıvı hacimleri okunur. Sıvıya yukarıdan veya aşağıdan bakmak, sıvı yüzey seviyesinin gerçekte olduğundan daha yüksek veya daha düşük görünmesine neden olacaktır.
Menisküsün referans noktası, dereceli veya hacimsel cam eşya üzerindeki bir işarete dokunduğunda, cam eşya o işaret için tanımlanan hacmi tutar. Hacimsel cam eşyalar, belirli bir hacmi ölçmek için tasarlanmıştır, bu nedenle yalnızca bir işareti vardır. Dereceli cam eşyalar, bir dizi hacmi ölçmek için tasarlanmıştır, bu nedenle düzenli aralıklarla etiketlenmiş birçok işarete veya derecelendirmeye sahiptir. Hem dereceli hem de hacimsel cam eşyalar, hassasiyetleri hakkında üretici tarafından sağlanan ek bilgilere sahip olabilir.
<h4>Kalibrasyon ve Belirsizlik</h4>
Üreticiler, ölçümlerin belirli bir belirsizlik aralığında doğru olduğundan emin olmak için ekipmanı kalibre eder. Örneğin, yüksek hassasiyetli bir analitik terazi, ± 0,0001 g'lık bir belirsizlikle dört ondalık basamağa (0,0000 g) kadar okuma yapabilir. 0,0345 g'lık bir okuma, gerçek değerin 0,0344 g ile 0,0346 g arasında olduğunu gösterir.
Cam eşyalar tipik olarak üzerinde ölçüm belirsizliği yazılıdır. Hacim ölçümlerini doğru bir şekilde kaydetmek için hem artışı hem de belirsizliği göz önünde bulundurmalısınız. Örneğin, 1 mL'lik artışlarla ve ± 0.5 mL'lik bir belirsizlikle 100 mL dereceli bir silindirde hassas bir hacim ölçümü, onda birine (000.0 mL ± 0.5 mL) kaydedilecektir. Menisküsün referans noktası iki işaret arasında kalıyorsa, onda biri için bir değer tahmin etmelisiniz; aksi takdirde 0 olarak bırakın. Sıcaklık hacmi etkilediğinden, cam eşyanın kalibre edildiği sıcaklık üzerine basılacaktır.
Züccaciye ya içerecek (TC) ya da teslim edecek (TD) şekilde kalibre edilir. TC cam eşyalar, işarete kadar doldurulduğunda belirtilen hacimde sıvıyı tutar, ancak başka bir kaba döküldüğünde geride az miktarda sıvı kalacaktır. Çözeltiler genellikle TC cam eşyalarda hazırlanır, çünkü çözelti hacminin doğruluğu konsantrasyonun doğruluğunu etkiler. Hacimsel şişeler tipik olarak içerecek şekilde kalibre edilir.
TD cam eşya, işarete kadar doldurulduğunda belirtilen sıvı miktarından biraz daha fazlasını tutar, ancak yalnızca belirtilen hacmi dağıtır. Bu nedenle, sıvıları dağıtırken TD cam eşyalar tamamen boşaltılmamalıdır. Bu tür cam eşyalar, belirli bir hacimdeki sıvıyı başka bir kaba aktarmak için kullanışlıdır. Hem dereceli hem de hacimli pipetler tipik olarak teslim edilecek şekilde kalibre edilir.
Aksi belirtilmedikçe, bir sayının belirsizliğinin son basamağın ölçeğinde olduğu varsayılır. Bu nedenle, belirsizlik daha büyük bir ölçekteyse, bir ölçümün belirsizliğini raporlamak özellikle önemlidir. Bilinen bir belirsizliği olmayan cetveller ve dereceli cam eşyalar için belirsizlik, en küçük artışın yarısı olarak tahmin edilmektedir. Belirsiz rakam, menisküsün iki kene işareti arasında nereye düştüğüne bağlıdır.
<h4>Önemli Rakamlar</h4>
Anlamlı rakamlar, bir değerdeki anlamlı veya bu değeri uygun hassasiyetle ifade etmek için gerekli olan sayılardır. Baştaki sıfırlar (0,001), sondaki sıfırlar (1.000) veya bilimsel gösterim çarpanları (10x) dışındaki tüm sayılar her zaman anlamlıdır.
Baştaki sıfırlar hiçbir zaman önemli değildir, çünkü sayıyı bilimsel gösterimde veya bir SI birimi ise daha küçük birimlerde yeniden yazarak kaldırılabilirler. Örneğin, 0.00123 m değerinde sadece üç önemli rakam vardır, çünkü herhangi bir bilgi kaybı olmadan 1.23 × 10-3 m veya 1.23 mm olarak yeniden yazılabilir. Aynı SI biriminin farklı katları arasındaki ölçeklendirme faktörünün, anlamlı rakamların sayısını etkilemediğini unutmayın.
Sondaki sıfırlar, ondalık virgülden önce veya sonra olduklarında önemlidir. Örneğin, 100.110 mL ölçümünün altı anlamlı rakamı vardır ve 100.0 mL'nin dört rakamı vardır. Ondalık nokta olmadan yazılan bir sayının sonundaki sıfırların, aksi belirtilmedikçe önemsiz olduğu varsayılır. Bu durumlarda önemli sıfırları işaretlemek için birkaç farklı kural vardır, ancak belirsizliği önlemek için bu değerlerin bilimsel gösterimde yeniden yazılması tavsiye edilir. Ölçüm SI birimlerindeyse, daha büyük birimler kullanın.
Bir ölçümün kesinliği, ondan hesaplanan herhangi bir değerin kesinliğini sınırlar. Hesaplanan bir değer, hesaplamasında kullanılan en az hassas ölçüm veya değerle aynı sayıda anlamlı rakama sahiptir. Sonuçta çok fazla anlamlı rakam varsa, uygun hassasiyete yuvarlanır. Sonuçta çok az sayıda anlamlı rakam varsa, hassasiyeti korumak için sondaki önemli sıfırlarla genişletilir. Molar kütle, yoğunluk veya bazı birim dönüştürme faktörleri gibi deneysel olarak türetilmiş değerlerin önemli rakamları da hesaplamalarda kullanılırken dikkate alınmalıdır.
Hesaplanan bir değerdeki anlamlı rakamların sayısı, bir deneyde elde edilen veri noktalarının sayısı gibi formüllerdeki veya tam sayılardaki fiziksel veya matematiksel sabitlerle sınırlı değildir. Örneğin, bir kürenin hacmini hesaplama formülü V = 4/3πr3'tür. Hesaplanan hacimdeki anlamlı rakamların sayısı, yalnızca yarıçap ölçümü r'deki anlamlı rakamların sayısından etkilenir. 4/3 ve π sabitlerdir ve 3 basit bir matematiksel işlem için gösterimdir.
Tanımlanan dönüştürme faktörleri de sabit olarak kabul edilir. Örneğin, inç tam olarak 25.4 milimetre olarak tanımlanır; Bu nedenle, dönüştürülen değerin anlamlı rakamlarının sayısı yalnızca orijinal ölçüme bağlıdır. Birimler arasında dönüştürme yaparken her zaman dönüştürme faktörünün tam olarak tanımlanmış mı yoksa deneysel bir değer mi olduğunu kontrol edin.
Ölçümlerin basit bir şekilde toplanması ve çıkarılması için, anlamlı rakamların sayısını belirlemek için anlamlılık aritmetiğini kullanırız. Bu durumda, yanıt, anlamlı rakamların sayısından bağımsız olarak en az ondalık basamağa sahip ölçüm kadar ondalık basamağa sahiptir. Böylece, 15.643.7 mL + 0.613 mL = 15.644.3 mL.
Çözmek için daha küçük parçalara ayırdığınız çok adımlı hesaplamalar veya karmaşık denklemler için, ara değerlerde en az bir veya iki önemsiz rakam tutmalısınız. Örneğin, bir kesrin pay ve paydasının değerlerini bölmeden önce ayrı ayrı hesaplarsanız, pay ve paydanın önemsiz rakamlarını bölerken de saklamanız gerekir. Bu, formülün tamamını hesap makinenize bir kerede girmeniz durumunda elde edeceğiniz sayıdan farklı olan yuvarlama hatasını en aza indirir. Bu ara değerleri yazarsanız, hangi rakamların önemsiz olduğuna dikkat etmelisiniz.

measuring with accuracy in the lab

Measuring with accuracy in the lab starts with careful records, the right tools, and correct reading of data. Scientists use lab notebooks to record how an experiment was done. These notes include the amounts of materials used and each step of the procedure. Without that record, an experiment cannot be repeated in the same way.

Balances and glassware are used to measure solids and liquids for experiments. The precision of a measurement depends on the equipment used. Digital balances show the maximum precision they can support. For rulers and graduated glassware, precision depends on the increment, which is the smallest distance between two marks.

Liquid levels must also be read correctly. Most liquids curve upward at the edges in glass containers. This curved surface is called a concave meniscus. When the edges curve downward, it is called a convex meniscus. To measure volume, the reference point is the bottom of a concave meniscus or the top of a convex meniscus. The reading should be taken from the side at eye level. Looking from above or below can make the level seem higher or lower than it really is.

Graduated and volumetric glassware are designed for different jobs. Volumetric glassware measures one specific volume and has only one mark. Graduated glassware measures a range of volumes and has many marks, or graduations, at regular intervals. When the meniscus reference point touches the mark, the glassware is holding the volume defined by that mark. Both types may also include manufacturer information about precision.

Manufacturers calibrate equipment so measurements stay within a stated range of uncertainty. A high-precision analytical balance may read to four decimal places, such as 0.0000 g, with an uncertainty of ±0.0001 g. That means a reading of 0.0345 g could represent a true value between 0.0344 g and 0.0346 g. Glassware usually has its uncertainty printed on it. For a 100 mL graduated cylinder with 1 mL increments and an uncertainty of ±0.5 mL, the volume should be recorded to the tenths place.

Temperature also affects volume, so calibrated glassware lists the temperature it is made for. Glassware can be calibrated to contain, or TC, or to deliver, or TD. TC glassware holds the stated volume when filled to the mark, but some liquid remains after pouring. This is why volumetric flasks are usually TC and are often used to prepare solutions, since solution concentration depends on volume accuracy. TD glassware dispenses the stated volume and should not be emptied completely. Graduated and volumetric pipettes are typically TD and are useful for transferring an exact volume to another container.

Recording numbers correctly also requires understanding uncertainty and significant figures. Unless stated otherwise, uncertainty is assumed to be on the scale of the last digit. If a ruler or glassware has no known uncertainty, estimate it as half of the smallest increment. Significant figures are the digits that are meaningful for the precision of a value. Leading zeroes are not significant, while trailing zeroes are significant when they appear before or after a decimal point. A number written without a decimal point may need scientific notation to avoid ambiguity.

Calculated values must match the precision of the measurements used to find them. The result should have the same number of significant figures as the least precise value in the calculation. If the answer has too many significant figures, round it. If it has too few, add significant trailing zeroes to show the correct precision. Constants such as 4/3 and π in the sphere volume formula do not limit the number of significant figures, and exact conversion factors like 1 inch = 25.4 millimeters also do not. For addition and subtraction, the answer keeps the same number of decimal places as the least precise value. For multi-step problems, keep one or two extra digits during intermediate steps to reduce rounding error.

Graphs, Curve Fit, and Standard Deviation

Two-dimensional graphs help students compare an independent variable with a dependent variable in science data. In a chemistry example, temperature is the independent variable and volume is the dependent variable. After data are collected, the relationship between the two measurements must be quantified so it can be evaluated and compared with other relationships. A graph can also show when no relationship exists between the two variables. To make a two-dimensional graph, each data point needs...

stoichiometry, product yield, and limiting reactants

stoichiometry-product-yield-and-limiting-reactants

Balancing Equations and Reactant Limits

Chemical equations show how reactants change into products during a reaction. Stoichiometry is the study of the relative amounts of reactants and products. It is based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, which says matter is neither created nor destroyed. Because atoms are only rearranged, the number and identity of atoms must match on both sides of a reaction. That is why a chemical equation must be balanced. A balanced equation has the same number of atoms for each element in the reactants...

redox reactions

Oxidation States in Redox Reactions

Oxidation states help identify redox reactions. In a redox reaction, oxidation is the loss of one or more electrons, and reduction is the gain of one or more electrons. These reactions are often tracked by changes in oxidation state, also called oxidation number. Each atom in a molecule has an oxidation state. This number shows how oxidized an atom is compared with its free elemental form. It is written as the charge an atom would have if every bond were purely ionic. In that model, bonding...

ideal gas law

Gas Laws Behind the Ideal Gas Equation

The ideal gas equation brings together the main gas laws used in chemistry. Gases have molecules that are far apart, so their behavior is described with four measurable variables: pressure, volume, number of moles, and temperature. The ideal gas law links these variables with the gas constant, R, which equals 8.314 J·K−1 mol−1. Boyle’s law describes the link between pressure and volume. When temperature and the number of moles stay constant, pressure and volume change in opposite directions.

acid and base concentrations

Acids, Bases, and pH in Titration

Acids, bases, and pH explain how acidic or basic a solution is. An Arrhenius acid releases hydrogen ions when it dissolves in water, while an Arrhenius base releases hydroxide ions. These reactions also create conjugate partners: an acid forms a conjugate base after losing hydrogen, and a base forms a conjugate acid after losing hydroxyl. Every acid has a conjugate base, and every base has a conjugate acid. pH measures the amount of hydrogen ions in a solution. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14...

buffers

Buffer pH and the Common Ion Effect

Buffer solutions help keep pH steady when acids or bases are added. In water, an Arrhenius acid (HA) dissociates into hydrogen ions, H+, and a conjugate base, A-. More hydrogen ions make a solution more acidic and lower its pH. An Arrhenius base (BOH) dissociates into a conjugate acid, B+, and hydroxide ions, OH-. Strong acids and strong bases usually change pH a lot because they react completely in water and raise the amount of H+ or OH-. Buffers reduce those pH changes. A buffer usually...

enthalpy of reaction

Reaction Heat, Hess’s Law, and Calorimetry

Reaction heat is explained through enthalpy, Hess’s law, and calorimetry. These ideas show how heat moves during chemical reactions and how scientists measure it. Thermodynamics is the study of heat energy and other forms of energy, such as work. Its laws are used across science, from biology to physics. The first law says energy is conserved in an isolated system. Energy can change form, such as thermal energy becoming work, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The second law of...

solubility

Solubility in Water and Other Solvents

Solubility describes how much of a solute can dissolve in a specific solvent. It is usually reported as solute mass per solvent volume or as solute mass per solvent mass. For example, sodium chloride has a solubility of 36 g per 100 mL of water at room temperature. If solubility is given by solvent mass, that mass must be converted to volume for later calculations. Temperature changes solubility. Sodium carbonate dissolves at about 7 g per 100 mL of water at 0 °C, 22 g per 100 mL at room...

metal flame emission

Flame Test Metal Color Clues

Flame testing uses a metal sample and a flame to identify a substance by its color. Each element gives off a characteristic light emission in the flame, so the color can help distinguish one element from another. This same idea appears in fireworks, where different metal components create different colors. The color comes from energy absorbed by the metallic component. When a species absorbs energy, that energy can go into translation, vibration, rotation, or electron excitement. Electron...

balmer series

Hydrogen Emission Lines

Hydrogen emission lines show how electrons move between fixed energy levels in the Bohr model. Niels Bohr proposed this model for the hydrogen atom in 1913. In this model, an electron can only occupy certain orbits, and it cannot exist between them. These energy states are labeled with the quantum number n. The ground state is n = 1. Higher values, such as n = 2, 3, 4, and so on, are excited states. An electron changes state only by absorbing or emitting energy equal to the difference between...

beer's law

Absorbance Spectra and Beer-Lambert Analysis

Absorbance spectra and the Beer-Lambert Law show how light can be used to study molecules in solution. When light hits a substance, it may be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. A substance often interacts with a range of wavelengths, and each wavelength can affect the molecules or atoms in a different way. When a molecule absorbs light, that energy can be used for translation, vibration, rotation, or electron excitement. Electron excitement is especially important in spectroscopy because it...

concentration dependence

Reaction Order and Rate Constants

Chemical kinetics describes the speed of a chemical reaction. The rate depends on the reaction mechanism, the complexity of the reaction, and the number of reactants involved. Reactant concentration also affects how fast a reaction happens. The rate law is the experimental relationship that connects these factors to reaction rate. In the rate law, each reactant contributes through a reaction order. The general form is r = k[A]^m[B]^n for aA + bB + ... → cC. Here, r is the reaction rate, k is...

temperature dependence

Reaction Rate, Arrhenius, and Catalysts

Chemical kinetics explains how fast a reaction happens and why that speed changes. The reaction rate is the speed of a chemical reaction. It is defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product over time. Reaction speed depends on several factors, including the concentration of the reactants and the temperature of the reaction. Each reactant affects the rate in a specific way. That relationship is described by the rate law. The rate law is an equation that connects the...

galvanic cells

Battery Power from Redox Reactions

Electrochemistry studies how chemical change and electrical energy are linked. In this branch of chemistry, electrons move from one species to another. That movement can either produce current or be driven by an applied current. The main reaction in electrochemistry is the oxidation-reduction, or redox, reaction. A redox reaction has two half-reactions. Oxidation is the loss of electrons, and reduction is the gain of electrons. These changes also shift the oxidation state of each substance. The...

electrolytic cells

Electroplating with Electrolytic Cells

Electrochemistry links electrical energy with chemical change, and electrolytic cells show how electricity can drive a nonspontaneous reaction. In these reactions, electrons move from one species to another. The key chemistry is a redox reaction, or oxidation-reduction reaction, which happens in two half-reactions. Oxidation is the loss of electrons, and reduction is the gain of electrons. The substance that loses electrons is the reducing agent, and the substance that gains electrons is the...

proper lab notebook keeping

Recording a Reproducible Lab Experiment

Accurate lab notebook records are essential in science and organic chemistry labs. Without clear notes, descriptions, quantities, and observations, an experiment cannot be repeated or checked. Good record keeping supports reproducibility, which means other people can follow the same work and get similar results. A laboratory notebook is useful in school labs, research settings, and industry. It can also become a legal record when an idea, process, substance, or technique is patented and...

basic organic chemistry techniques

Organic Lab Glassware and Safe Handling

Organic chemistry labs use specific glassware, careful weighing steps, and controlled heating to keep reactions safe and accurate. Beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks are often used for mixing or holding solvents, but they are not meant for measuring volume unless only an approximate amount is needed. Volumetric glassware is used when a precise volume matters. This group includes graduated cylinders, volumetric pipettes, and volumetric flasks. A graduated cylinder is commonly used in the organic lab...

melting points

How Impurities Change Melting Points

Melting point helps identify an organic compound by showing the temperature where a solid turns into a liquid at 1 atmosphere of pressure. It is a physical property, like solubility, density, color, and electronegativity. Because the exact start of melting is hard to measure, the result is reported as a range. The lower end is when the first drops of liquid appear. The upper end is when the last solid has melted. Scientists compare this range with literature values to help identify a compound. <br...

boiling points

Boiling Point and Vapor Pressure

Boiling point and vapor pressure are key physical properties of a liquid. For a pure compound, the boiling point can help identify the substance. In experiments, the boiling point is usually recorded as a range because exact values are hard to measure and may differ by a few degrees from the literature value. Vapor pressure explains why a liquid boils. In a sealed container, some molecules at the liquid surface gain enough energy to escape into the gas phase. At the same time, some gas...

recrystallization

Purifying Crystals by Solubility

Purifying crystals by solubility is a key organic chemistry technique. Recrystallization uses differences in solubility to separate a desired solid product from starting materials, solvent, and impurities. It is one of the three standard purification methods, along with distillation and extraction. Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a fixed volume of solvent at a given temperature. Different solutes dissolve in different solvents, and their behavior can vary...

extraction

Separating Mixtures with Solvent Extraction

Solvent extraction is a common way to separate and isolate a target compound in organic chemistry. In this process, a solute moves from one phase to another so it can be separated from unreacted starting materials or impurities. Extraction is also useful when a product is dissolved in a reaction solvent that is hard to remove by evaporation, such as a solvent with a high boiling point. There are three main types of extraction. In solid-liquid extraction, the solute moves from a solid phase...

simple distillation

Separating Liquids by Boiling Point

Separating liquids by boiling point is the goal of distillation. A miscible mixture contains liquids that mix evenly, and it can be heated so that the more volatile liquid evaporates first. Volatility is a liquid’s tendency to vaporize, and boiling begins when bubbles form in the liquid phase. In a closed container, liquid and vapor can reach equilibrium, which means the rate of vaporization equals the rate of condensation. The pressure from the vapor above the liquid is called vapor pressure.

steam distillation

Steam Distillation and Low-Boiling Separation

Steam distillation is a separation method for temperature-sensitive organic compounds. It works best when the organic compound is immiscible in water, meaning the two liquids do not mix. The method helps remove the organic molecule from a non-volatile contaminant without using the higher temperatures needed for many other separations. In steam distillation, the immiscible mixture is heated until both water and the volatile organic compound distill together. The vapor rises to a condenser,...

thin-layer chromatography

TLC Separation by Polarity

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) separates compounds in a mixture by polarity. It uses the same basic parts as other chromatography methods: a stationary phase, a mobile phase, and the solute. In TLC, the stationary phase is a thin coating on a plate instead of material packed into a column. The stationary phase in most TLC systems is polar silica gel, a form of silicon dioxide. Its surface has OH groups that can form hydrogen bonds. The sample is first spotted on a pencil start line with a...

column chromatography

Separating Mixtures by Polarity

Column chromatography separates compounds in an organic chemistry lab by using differences in physical properties. It is especially useful for microscale separations when less than 10 grams of material is available for analysis. The method can separate a mixture based on solubility, polarity, hydrophobicity, size, and charge. Any chromatography system has three main parts: the stationary phase, the mobile phase, and the sample mixture. In column chromatography, the stationary phase is usually...

hydrolysis of an ester

Soap Formation from Triglycerides

Triglycerides are lipids made of a glycerol backbone linked to three fatty acids. They are common in vegetable oils and animal fats. Plant lipids are the basis of vegetable oils, while animal lipids are used as lard or general sources of fats. A fatty acid has a long carbon chain, usually between 12 and 20 carbons, with a weak organic acid at one end. Some fatty acids contain double bonds. These are unsaturated fats. The double bond usually gives the chain a bent, cis shape. As a result,...

synthesis of luminol

Luminol Chemiluminescence in Forensics

Luminol chemiluminescence shows how a chemical reaction can produce light and help with blood detection. Chemical reactions may be endothermic or exothermic, depending on whether they absorb or release heat as reactants become products. The enthalpy of a reaction is the energy difference between reactants and products, or ΔH. A positive ΔH means the reaction is endothermic. A negative ΔH means it is exothermic. Many reactions do not happen in a single step. They can pass through intermediates...

esterification

Ester Formation and Everyday Fragrances

Esters are organic compounds with a carbonyl group attached to an oxygen that connects to another alkyl or aryl group. Their general formula is RCOOR'. They are often made by reacting a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in an esterification reaction. In this process, the hydroxyl group of the acid is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. Many simple esters have familiar fruit and flower smells because their structures are small and less complex. Formic acid and methanol can combine to form methyl...

identification of unknown aldehydes and ketones

identification-of-unknown-aldehydes-and-ketones

Carbonyl Tests for Aldehydes and Ketones

Aldehydes and ketones are carbonyl compounds, which means they contain a C=O functional group. A ketone has two alkyl or aryl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Acetone is the simplest ketone, with two methyl groups. An aldehyde is similar, but it has at least one hydrogen attached to the carbonyl carbon. Formaldehyde is the simplest aldehyde, and acetaldehyde has one hydrogen and one methyl group. The carbonyl carbon in both aldehydes and ketones is electrophilic because the oxygen atom...

uv-vis spectroscopy of dyes

How Dyes Absorb Visible Light

Dyes absorb visible light because their molecular structure lets them interact with specific wavelengths. When light hits a substance, some light is absorbed and the rest is reflected or transmitted. The color we see depends on the wavelength that is reflected. A blue substance reflects blue light, around 430 to 480 nm, and absorbs the complementary orange region, around 590 to 630 nm. Compounds that do not absorb in the visible range appear colorless to the human eye. Light also has energy and...

identifying alcohols

Alcohol Tests for Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary

Alcohol tests can help sort alcohols by structure and reactivity. Alcohols are organic molecules with a hydroxyl group attached to an alkyl or aryl group, written as ROH. If the carbon with the hydroxyl group has one R group, the alcohol is primary. If it has two R groups, it is secondary. If it has three R groups, it is tertiary. Alcohols can also be aromatic when they contain a benzene ring. Phenol is the simplest aromatic alcohol. To identify an alcohol, chemists can use its chemical...
