Experiment 6. Simple Distillation and Sample Preparation for Self-Assembly 1. Purpose: In two sentences explain the purpose of the Distillation and molecular assembly experiment. (____/2 pts) (Your answer should be thorough for full credit.) ANSWER 1:

A. Simple Distillation: 2. Plot your results of Temperature (Y axis) vs. Volume (X axis) data. Label axes. The volume collected is reflected by the number of drops. (Recommendation: Plot graph in excel and paste In Line With Text) ANSWER 2: Paste Graph Below (____/2 pt)

3. Does the graph meet your anticipation of how it should behave? If not, describe what is the difference between how it should behave and what you have obtained. (____/1 pt) ANSWER 3:

4. Report your percent recovery (A) and percent hold up (B) for Simple Distillation. ANSWER 4A: ANSWER 4B:

(____/2 pt)

5. Draw the two molecules you are separating by simple distillation, and list the important molecular interactions between A and B. (____/2 pt)

6. What is the name of the assembly formed by a single-chain surfactant (e.g. CH3(CH2)11SO3-Na+) in water?? (____/1 pt)

7. List one important molecular interaction between two surfactants in the assembly.

(____/1 pt)

8. List the important molecular interaction between water and the surfactant assembly formed in water. (____/1 pt)

9. List the important molecular interactions between two 5DSCG molecules in water.

(____/2 pt)

10. Practice calculation of wt%. wt% = 100% x (wt of the component / total weight) A mixture consists of 178 mg of water, 58 mg of sugar and 67 mg of sodium chloride. wt% water: wt% sugar: wt% sodium chloride:

(_____/1 pt)

(Important: you will not receive any of points for the following problem if the above calculation is incorrect.)

Create a table listing the target weight and the actual weight you prepared for using surfactant, 5DSCG and water for observing liquid crystal droplet formation. (______/4 pt) Targeted weights will be given to you. Control Sample (Name: ________________*) : Components Targeted Actual weight (mg) weight (mg) 5DSCG SLS Water

10. Conclusion:

(____/4 pts)

Describe your results in a concise but specific manner (i.e. include the values, if there is any relevant ones, TLC, recovery %). Then, state what those values infer or imply or maybe even conclude, include the success of the experiment. For this conclusion, describe how temperature change over time, and what does it mean (e.g. it is consistent with two components have large or small boiling point differences). No conclusion to be drew from sample preparation for self-assembly.

ANSWER 10:

Appendix: Exercise for conceptual understanding. 11. The compound acetone has a boiling point of 56 degrees Celsius and the compound aniline has a boiling point of 184 degrees Celsius. Acetone and aniline could be separated by simple distillation rather than fractional distillation? (Hint: Read the first page of lab manual) State true or false. (____/1 pt)

ANSWER 14:

12. Fill in the blank: (____/6 pt) Water and ethanol form an azeotrope upon distillation. An azeotrope is a mixture of two (liquids/ solids) 15A that (boils /melts) 15B at a constant temperature. Because of this azeotrope, certain composition of ethanol and water (can /cannot) 15C be separated by distillation. ANSWER 15A: ANSWER 15B: ANSWER 15C:

(_______/10pts)

Be sure to hand in your carbon copy to your TA before you leave lab! As that is what will be graded here. Read each experimental procedure carefully and follow the instructions for full credit. For example if you are asked what your observations are -write them down (e.g. white solid, gas evolution observed [bubbles]) and remember to keep track of all units. Each week you will submit the carbon copy of your lab to your TA for grading and the end of each lab. If the carbon copy is not legible it will not be gradedUse your cardboard divider between pages. Make sure you reproduce the two tables for sample preparation here.
