EXPERIMENTAL
Mass transfer tests
The mass transfer tests in the test reactor (2 L Büchi autoclave) where conducted using an indirect (chemical) method. The experimental procedure (detailed in Section 6.1.3) consisted of filling the reactor with approximately 1.2 mol/L sodium sulfite solution containing 1-5 mg/L cobalt(II) ion, turning on the oxygen supply and starting the time. The oxidation reaction was allowed to continue for a predetermined time agitation was started and samples taken at regular time intervals. Each sample was mixed with excess standard iodine solution and titrated with standard sodium thiosulfate solution (Na2S2O3) using a starch indicator. The reactions are (Jeffrey et al., 1989): 〖"SO" 〗_"3" ^"2-" "+ " "I" _"2" "+ " "H" _"2" "O → " 〖"SO" 〗_"4" ^"2-" "+ " 〖"2H" 〗^"+" "+ " 〖"2I" 〗^"-" 6.1

〖"2S" 〗_"2" "O" _"3" ^"2-" "+ " "I" _"2" "→ " "S" _"4" "O" _"6" ^"2-" "+ " 〖"2I" 〗^"-" 6.2

The residual amount of sulphate was determined by the stoichiometry of the reaction 6.2. Detailed solution preparation and experimental procedure is given in Appendix III.
Reagents
All solutions where prepared with deionized water and grade A chemicals. …show more content…

Figure 6 1 presents a schematic diagram for the reactor while Figure 6 2 represents a picture of the experimental setup. The reactor is equipped with a stirrer drive with integrated high torque magnetic coupling to provide agitation. The agitation speeds were manually set and maintained throughout the course of experimentation. The reactor has an anchor type blade stirrer which was used for slurry agitation in all the tests conducted in this investigation. The pressure inside the reactor was monitored using a fitted pressure gauge. In order to obtain the desired pressure in the reactor vessel, the pressure of oxygen gas added to the reactor vessel was regulated by the pressure regulating valve fitted to the oxygen

    For this lab, zeolite and magnetized zeolite were synthesized and compared with charcoal to find out with would be the most effective in the sequestering of Procion Red dye. Finding the concentration and absorbance of each zeolite, magnetized zeolite, and charcoal, along with a calibration curve, the best adsorbent is determined. Charcoal was the overall best sequestration of the Procion Red dye, since the adsorbent was highest compared to the others. Introduction Pollution has increased in the environment over the years, so the purpose of this experiment is to find the best adsorbent of chemicals to reduce the pollution.

    The setup for the cation exchange chromatography is shown in Figure 3. This was done by plugging the bottom of a burette with a small amount of glass wool. The wool was lightly packed using a thermometer. Approximately 5 mL of Dowex 50 cation exchange resin was obtained in a small beaker, and the resin was mixed with 5 mL of pH 3 citrate buffer. This mixture was poured into the burette with the stopcock closed.

But few of these interpretations deal with what the teachings and the life of Jesus have to say to those who stand, at a moment in human history, with their backs against the wall (Thurman, 1949). Jesus was a Jew, meaning he was born visually, culturally, religiously, and ethnically different.

  • Sulphuric Acid Experiment

    The temperature of the sulphuric acid was not measured throughout the experiment, however the room in which the experiment was conducted was kept constant, so the chance of any large error due to unknown temperature of the sulphuric acid was most likely reduced. The amount of sulphuric acid used was also controlled by measuring 100mL with a 100mL measuring cylinder to ensure that the results would be consistent. The volume of the agar cubes was calculated from the surface area of each agar cube, both before and after they had been in the sulphuric acid. This increased the reliability of the results as it allowed the rate of diffusion of the sulphuric acid into the agar cubes to be calculated more accurately. The concentration of the acid was 0.1M, which was placed in all three agar cubes to maintain consistency of results.

Background: Just like a recipe would call for a specific amount of one ingredient to a specific amount of another, stoichiometry is the same exact method for calculating moles in a chemical reaction. Sometimes, we may not have enough of or too much of one ingredient , which would be defined as limiting and excess reagent, respectively.

    Aim: To find out the relationship between the greater concentration of sodium thiosulfate when mixed with hydrochloric acid and the time it takes for the reaction (the time it takes for the solution to turn cloudy) to take place and to show the effect on the rate of reaction when the concentration of one of the reactants change. Introduction: The theory of this experiment is that sodium thiosulfate and hydrochloric acid reach together to produce sulfur as one of its products. Sulfur is a yellow precipitate so, the solution will turn to yellow color while the reaction is occurring and it will continue until it will slowly turn completely opaque. The reaction of the experiment happens with this formula: “Na2 S2 O3 + HCL =
