You find a container in the lab whose label is blurred. It definitely says "oct," but you can't determine if it is octane or octane. How could you distinguish between them using a chemical test? What are the results of those test with "octane" and "octane?"
It can be either octane or octene
If you draw the structures you will find a double bond in octene. But there is no double bond in octane. So since that is the only point of difference (i.e unsaturation in octene) we will test it. Octane is paraffin and gives very few tests but alkene (octene) shows many tests, it can be converted to many different functional groups( such as alcohol/carbonyl etc) and if product is formed we can confirm.
The easiest test is unsaturation test by using cold dilute KMnO4.
Alkanes are immune to this test, but alkenes decolourise the solution. This is known as Bayer's test. To perform this add a drop of cold dilute KMnO4.
KMnO4 + CHR=CHR + H2O -----> C(OH)HR-C(OH)HR MnO2 + 2OH-
OH groups gets attached to both sides of the alkene
Another test is the bromine water test, but bromine is a very poisonous substance so I prefer potassium permanganate over this. Anyways, bromine water gets decolourised when alkene is added to it.

3) In lab 11, you found the relationship between the force exerted by a spring and its length to determine the spring constant. You could also do this using simple harmonic motion. a. Describe an experiment you could do to find a spring constant using simple harmonic motion. What would you measure, and how would you average your measurements? b. Pretending you did the lab this way, make up reasonable measurements and compute the spring constant for those measurements.
1. Based on the physical and chemical properties you observed in your unknown and each of the carbonyl compounds, identify your unknown and explain fully (using at least 2 tests) how you came to your conclusion. and you believe it is Your unknown letter is Explain based on the results of at least 2 tests/observations: POST-LAB QUESTIONS: 1. Predict the product of the following reactions. If no reaction occurs write "NR" CH CH CH 2. Which test(s) would you use...
Academic Year 2019-2020 Chemical Reactions and Writing Chemical Equations Post Lab Questions (10 Points). Answer the following question on this sheet or in your laboratory notebook. In lab you are given 4 bottles, each containing about 5 grams of a white substance. Near the bottles are four labels indicating each bottle contains a high purity substance. Assume these labels belong to the bottles and that each bottle contains a single substance. The four bottles contain glucose (C6H1206), sodium chloride (NaCl),...
In a hypothetical scenario. You wake up one morning to find your hah has suddenly grown. YOU have been supplementing your diet with a strange now fungus purchased at the local farmer's market. You take samples of the fungus to your lab and you find that this fungus does indeed make a protein (the her E protein) that stimulates hair growth. Yon con struct a fungal genomic DNA library in E. Coli with the hope of cloning the hart gene....
Please help with the post lab and the pre lab (except for
obviously #1 on the post lab) thank you!
PRELAB name: What is the ideal gas law? Write the equation below and label all the components of the equation. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Mg and HCl below include phases of each constituent. Mg + HCI 3.

Keeping in mind the assays done in Lab 1/2, (a) how could you design a colorimetric method to measure alpha-amylase activity? (b) What would you use as a control? (c) At what wavelength should the spectrophotometer be set? (d) Sketch a graph like Plot 1 (from this lab) to represent the amylase activity you would observe using your method. You want to know whether alpha-amylase is more active in the stomach (pH 2) or the intestines (pH 7). (a) How...
TLC Analysis Of Egg Lipids Lab 1. The TLC plates were pre-baked at >120C. Why is this step necessary? 2. Below is the structure of your lipid staining dye, Naphthol Blue-Black. Explain which noncovalent interactions would be most important in allowing the dye to adhere to lipids (consider the chemical property of lipids as well as the dye). 3. You ran a solution of a fatty acid and a wax on a TLC plate using the exact conditions used in...
what is a good hypothesis for this lab?? I need to write one. Acid Base lab INSTRUCTIONS Acid-base indicators are used to let you know whether the solution you are working with is acidic or basic. We have many acid-base indicators available to us today, but the first indicators were made from natural compounds. The indicator that you will be making comes from purple cabbage and is simply called cabbage extract indicator. Procedure: Goggle red cabbage as an acid-base indicator....
