Fractional distillation
Should you use the hood to do solvent partition and solvent evaporation?
Yes.
Which of the following will be used as the starting material for making ethanol in your fermentation lab?
Vinegar
Sucrose
Apple
NaCl
Sucrose
What is used as the starting material for making ethanol in your fermentation lab?
Sucrose
Which data will you not collect in the fermentation lab?
Melting point
What datas will you collect in the fermentation lab?
Distillate weight, sucrose weight, boiling point
What chemical will you not use for this fermentation lab?
Ammonium tartrate
HCl
Calcium phosphate
Magnesium phosphate
Potassium phosphate
HCl
Should fractional distillation obtain ethanol with much higher purity than simple distillation?
Yes.
Is the boiling point obtained from simple distillation of the liquid fermentation mixture accurate?
No.
TLC stands for…
Thin-layer chromatography
What are the standard compounds used in the TLC lab?
Acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine and ibuprofen
What compounds do we identify using compound’s TLC plate?
Rf value
Where should we dispose the sampling tubes used in the TLC lab?
In the broken glass trash bin
What will happen if the solvent level in the bottom of the TLC chamber is above the sample spots?
The spotted samples will dissolve in the pool of solvent instead of climbing up the TLC plate.
