Separation techniques Chromatography Chromatography is a separation technique used to separate the different components in a liquid mixture. It was introduced by a Russian Scientist Michael Tswett. Chromatography involves the sample being dissolved in a particular solvent called mobile phase. The mobile phase may be a gas or liquid. The mobile phase is then passed through another phase called stationary phase. The stationary phase may be a solid packed in a glass plate or a piece of chromatography

By: Bernina Berber Due: February 24, 2011 Lab: Thursday 1:40pm Section: 15227 Introduction Transpiration is a part of the water cycle process, and it is the loss of water vapor from parts of the plants. It is a process similar to evaporation. Evaporation and diffusion cause the plant tissue to have negative water potential. If you were to compare transpiration it would be like saying it is close to sweating (but in plants), especially in leaves but also in stems, flowers and roots. Stomata

In general "The Watchtowers" are the home of the 4 main Elements - Water, Fire, Earth and Wind. They're the 4 cardinal points of a compass - East, South, West and North. The Watchtower of the East is the home of the element Air and the Watchtower of the West is the home of the element Water. This is regardless in what hemisphere we live in. The Watchtower of the South is the home of the element Fire and the Watchtower of the North is the home of the element Earth. But this is only for the people

3. INTRODUCTION Organic compounds are isolated either from natural sources or from reactions mixtures. These compounds are seldom pure and are usually contaminated with small amounts of other similar compounds, which are found to exist together or formed during the reaction. In order to characterize them, it is important to purify them. 4. PROCESSES FOR PURIFICATION 1. Crystallization 2. Sublimation 3. Distillation 4. Chromatography 5. Differential Extraction 6.

The refrigerant that is typically used in an absorption chiller is distilled water and the absorbent is lithium bromide. These two fluids, the refrigerant An introduction to the absorption refrigeration cycle Absorption cycle versus vapour-compression cycle There are two fundamental differences between the absorption refrigeration cycle and the vapour-compression refrigeration cycle with which we are more familiar. The first difference is that the compressor is replaced by an absorber,

Introduction Distillation is a procedure that has been used for many centuries as a separation technique to isolate liquids with different boiling points and vapor pressure. The idea of distillation generally involves the conversion of a solvent into a vapor then back to a solvent based on vapor pressure. The liquid with the lowest boiling point and highest vapor pressure would be collected first (Weldegirma,2017). There are various distillation methods, however the two methods utilize in this experiment

Distillation and Gas Chromatography Goal: The goal of today’s experiment is to collect three different fractions for each distillation by separating two different volatile solutions. Once the fractions are collected, we will record the boiling point range and perform a gas chromatography an original mixture along with the three different fractions that were collected. Significance: This lab is very important if someone needs to separate two different volatile solutions. They can do the simple

Taylor Small 09-23-13 Lab Report: Determination of Alcohol Content Blame it on the Alcohol Objective: Boiling is a process familiar to anyone who has cooked pasta or brewed tea. As heat is applied to a pan of water, the temperature of the water increases until it reaches 100°C (212°F). At this temperature, additional heat causes the water to bubble vigorously as the liquid water is converted into gaseous water, or steam. Most organic liquids will behave in a similar fashion. On heating,
