FST Lab 2 (Basic Concept of Analysis and Understand the method for expression of concentration)

By -Published on

OBJECTIVE: 

  1. To understand the basic concept of chemical analysis

  2. To understand the method for the expression of concentration 

THEORY: 

Chemical Analysis: Chemical analysis is the process of identifying, separating and quantifying the components of a sample to understand its nature and composition.

Types of Chemical Analysis: 

  1. Qualitative Analysis: Qualitative analysis is used to identify the presence or absence of certain chemical compounds or elements in a sample. This method is often used in organic chemistry to identify unknown substances.

  2. Quantitative Analysis: Quantitative analysis is used to determine the amount or concentration of a particular compound or element in a sample.

Concentration: The amount of a substance (solute) present in a specific volume or mass of solution or solvent.

Molarity: Molarity represents a concentration of a solution expressed as the no. of moles per solute/litre of solution.

Molality: No.of moles of a solute per mass(kg) of a solvent.

Normality: No. of equivalents of a solute per litre volume of solution. 

Formality: Formality is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution, expressed in terms of the formal concentration of the solute. 

Mole Fraction: Mole fraction is given as the number of moles of a given solute in the solution to the total number of moles in the solution.

Serial Dilution: A serial dilution is the stepwise dilution of a substance in solution, either by using a constant dilution factor, or by using a variable factor between dilutions.

NUMERICALS

  1. How many moles of NaCL are present in 500ml of a 0.1 molar solution?

Moles= Molarity*Volume(ltr)

Moles= 0.1*0.5

Moles= 0.05 moles

  1. What mass of NaOH is required to prepare 250ml of a 0.5M solution?

Amount of solute(moles)= Molarity*vol(litre)

                                            0.5*0.25= 0.125 moles

  1. How to prepare 0.1 molar HCl solution in 500ml distilled water?

X = 0.1 moles* 0.5L

X = 0.05 moles.

  1. Calculate the normality of 0.98g of H2SO4 is prepared in 500 ml of a solution.

Mass of H2SO4= 0.98g

Volumes of Solution= 500ml= 0.5l

Molar mass of H2SO4+ 98gm/mol

Solution:

No.of moles= Mass / Molar mass

                                   0.98g / 98g/mol

            No.of moles= 0.01 mol

            No.of equivalents= No.of moles*2

                                            0.01*2

           No.of equivalents=         0.02 equi

           Normality= No. of equivalents/ Volumes(in litres)

                           =0.02 equi/ 0.5L

           Normality= 0.04N

FST Lab 7 (Determination of Ash Content using the Gravimetric Method)

By -Published on
  Lab-7 OBJECTIVE:  To determine the ash content in a food sample using the gravimetric method.  MATERIALS Muffle furnace Crucible with a lid or china dish  Analytical balance  Sample  THEORY  Ash content is the amount of inorganic material in a food sample that remains after it has been incinerated or burned at high temperatures. It measures the total mineral content of a food sample, including essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and iron, as well as non-essential minerals like lead and arsenic. It is an important parameter to measure in food samples because it can indicate the level of contamination or adulteration and the nutritional value of food.  Principle of ashing: The principle of ashing is based on the process of burning and oxidation of organic matter present in a sample to leave behind only the inorganic mineral content. The organic matter in the sample is converted to carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases during the as...

  OBJECTIVE: Estimation of protein by the Biuret method (Qualitative Analysis)  REQUIREMENTS:  Test tubes  Measuring cylinder  Dropper Reagents: Protein Sample  CuSO4 NaOH  THEORY:  This is the most commonly used method based on the fact that the –CO – NH- (peptide) group of proteins forms a purple complex with copper ions in an alkaline medium. Since all proteins contain the peptide bond. The method is fairly specific and there is little interference from other compounds. The normal color of biuret reagent is blue. The reagent turns violet in the presence of peptide bonds. The chemical bonds that hold amino acids together. The proteins detected must have at least 3 amino acids, which mean that the protein must have at least two peptide bonds.  The biuret test uses an alkaline mixture or reagent, composed of sodium hydroxide and copper sulfate.  The reagent used in the Biuret Test is a solution of copper sulfate (CuSO4) and sodium hydrox...

FST Lab 6 (Determination of crude fat by Soxhlet Extraction Method)

By -Published on
OBJECTIVE Determination of crude fat content in food sample through a soxhlet extraction method REQUIREMENTS :  Soxhlet apparatus  Extraction thimbles  Hot plate Petri dishes  Round bottom flask Beaker  Sample  Chemicals:  Solvent (n-hexane) THEORY : The fat content of food is an essential parameter in food analysis as it is one of the key components affecting the nutritional value, quality, and sensory properties of food. The fat content in food is usually determined through various methods, including extraction, gravimetric analysis, and chromatography. Soxhlet extraction is a commonly used method for determining crude fat in food samples. Soxhlet apparatus Soxhlet apparatus is a laboratory apparatus invented by Franz von Soxhlet in 1879. It is used for the extraction of compounds from a solid material.  It consists of three main parts. Thimble: A solid sample is placed in a thimble which is then placed in an extraction chamber  A boiling ...
