Crystallization
Introduction:
Crystallization is a technique that has long been used in the purification of substances. Often, when a solid substance (single compound) is placed in a liquid, it dissolves. Upon adding more of the solid, a point eventually is reached beyond which no further solid dissolves, and the solution is said to be saturated with the solid compound.
In other words Crystallization is the process of forming a crystalline material from a liquid, gas or amorphous solid. The crystals thus formed have highly regular internal structure, the basis of which is called the crystal lattice. Since the formation of such a highly ordered structure prohibits foreign molecules from being incorporated into the lattice, a solid product of

The growth typically follows an initial stage of either homogeneous or heterogeneous (surface catalyzed) nucleation, unless a "seed" crystal, purposely added to start the growth, was already present. The action of crystal growth yields a crystalline solid whose atoms or molecules are typically close packed
Rate of Crystal Growth:
Once nuclei are formed, either spontaneously or by seeding, the crystals will continue to grow so long as supersaturation persists. The three main factors controlling the rates of both nucleation and of crystal growth are the temperature, the degree of supersaturation and the interfacial tension between the solute and the solvent. If supersaturation is maintained at a low level, nucleus formation is not encouraged but the available nuclei will continue to grow and large crystals will result. If supersaturation is high, there may be further nucleation and so the growth of existing crystals will not be so great. In practice, slow cooling maintaining a low level of supersaturation produces large crystals and fast cooling produces small
It also became softer and smaller. Experiment 3: Our group had a bag of crystals and then we put some water in the bag, then we left the bag for a few minutes and then we came back and it was slush. Experiment 4: Our group had a piece of paper and a tub of water and a cup of salt. We put a little bit of the paper into the water with the cup of salt and then we waited a little while
In order to separate KNO3 and CuSO4, which are both soluble in water, recrystallization was used. The reason the two components can be separated through recrystallization is because of the temperature dependence of solubility, KNO3 is much more soluble in hot water and insoluble in cold water while CuSO4 is only slightly more soluble in hot water. When the filtrate was heated the solution was saturated with KNO3 but when the system was cooled, the KNO3 became insoluble and pure crystals reformed while CuSO4 stayed dissolved in the
As much was conducted throughout this lab, the projected completion of this lab displays that ultimately, the higher the temperature of the water, the faster the dissolving rate of the Alka-Seltzer is. In other words, the hotter the water temperature the quicker the tablet dissolves within the water in regards to the amount of time it took to dissolve. Furthermore, this experiment helps to explain that, if water is taken at a higher temperature and Alka-Seltzer is placed within the water, the Alka-Seltzer will take less time to dissolve because the higher temperatures cause the tablet to melt at a quicker rate. This compares to when Alka-Seltzer is placed in colder temperatures, where instead it takes more time to dissolve, because the lower
For the general strain theory, the main limitations was the possible variation in evaluating an event or stimulus as a life strain or not. Gacy’s interpretation on what events and stimulus were strains on his life would be unknown, so it cannot be determined if a life strain is the reason Gacy committed crime. Though Gacy had strains at home within his family, it is allegedly said Gacy was quite popular in school. This means he would have had good bonds with his peers, but there is not enough evidence to show it could have made a difference. Lastly, Gacy’s childhood seemed apparent to have a vast amount of strains, however, when he became older, he left his family.
This results in elements combining together to create a molecule, with subscripts (if necessary). Lastly, particles are referred as formula units. (ionically bonded- metal to nonmetal). Labelling them include pairing a metal element to a nonmetal. This will result in elements names combining together.
Egg Freezing (scientifically known as human ocyte cryopreservation) is a process in which a woman's eggs (oocytes) are extracted, frozen and stored. In the future, the eggs can be thawed, fertilized, and transferred to the uterus as embryos. In simpler language, egg freezing is the freezing of fertility for future. Cryopreservation although is not new. Since the 1950’s, human sperm has been frozen and stored, and since the 1980’s, human embryos have been cryopreserved.
Recrystallization is a method used for purification and relies on varying solubulites at different temperatures. At low temperatures the solute does not dissolves the chosen solvent, but does in the boiling solvent, and this allows the supersaturation to occur. When the solution is cooled, recrystallization forms for the pure substance, and the impurities remain in the solution. This is caused because the impurities will not fit or bond with the structure of the pure crystallized substance. Then vacuum filtration is used to separate the pure component from its impurities.
Introduction: Melting is the change of a solid into a liquid when heat is applied. Melting will occur at a fixed temperature which known as melting point. Melting point is the temperature at which the solid and liquid forms of a pure substance can exist in equilibrium. The temperature will increase until the melting point is reached when heat is applied. Heat will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change.
The purpose of this experiment is to successfully grow a crystal. Materials: • Epsom Salt • Food Coloring • Beaker, Small bowl, or Jar Procedure: 1. Bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil. 2.
Properties of Substances Express Lab 1)The purpose of this lab was to compare the physical properties of different types of solids and how the properties of solids are determined by their intermolecular forces and their intramolecular bonds. Then we were to classify each type of solid as either ionic, metallic, non-polar molecular, polar molecular, or network. Paraffin wax classified as a non-polar molecular, Silicon dioxide was classifies as a network, Sodium chloride was classified as ionic, Sucrose was classified as polar molecular and Tin was classified as metallic. (2)The intermolecular forces that are present in Paraffin wax are dispersion forces, because it is non-polar and carries a negative charge. Followed by Sucrose that has
If impure, preform recrystallization procedure to remove the impurities. Then calculate Percent Recovered on crystals formed, and preform melting point procedure. 2. You find that a solid substance you are trying to purify is very soluble in ethanol, but not very soluble in water. You decide that you are going to try to recrystallize it from a solvent pair, consisting of ethanol and water.
During the process a mixture is separated into several parts called fractions. Mixtures contain different substance with different boiling points, the differences in boiling points is the main reason fractional distillation is effective. The temperature at which a phase change occurs from liquid to vapor is the boiling point. Fractional distillation Column Fractional distillation column is a fractionating column used for separating a mixture into its various
The components of the sample called solutes or analytes separate from one another based on their relative vapour. This chromatographic process is called elution.
Introduction Solubility is a chemical property that is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The resulting solution is called saturated solution. For example when a sample of sodium chloride solution in water is heated the behavior of the reaction is endothermic obstructing exothermic behavior. Another relationship that can be said about solubility is that the solubility of a solid substance increases as the temperature increases. The solubility of solutes is dependent on temperature.
Unsaturated- This is a solution in which more solute can be added and can still be dissolved. It has not reached a maximum yet for that temperature. This is a point that is underneath the solubility curve. Supersaturated-
