Laboratory Essentials International College Beijing - PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 4 - CHEM 1314, AY 2012/2013 Lab Session 1 Experiment 1.1: Separation of a Salt and Sand Mixture Part I: Pre-laboratory Assignment. In a quantitative analysis, your goal is to determine the exact quantity (or amount) of a desired substance in a sample. That is, you probably know ahead of time what the identity of the substance is you wanted to quantify in the sample, and you simply need to determine the amount of the substance you have. In this experiment, the sample is a mixture of salt and sand. The bad news? You cannot determine the amount of either of the component in the mixture until the mixture is first separated into different individual components via physical means. Your Pre-laboratory Assignment is to construct a flowchart of the events/processes in order to separate the mixture of salt and sand and recover the dry components. Part II: Experiment. Goals In this lab, one of your goals will be to separate a mixture of salt and sand to recover dry samples of each of salt and sand. Your other goal will be to determine and verify the percentage by mass of each of salt and sand in the original mixture. Background Information The Need for Separation of the Components in a Mixture Scientists often need to separate one substance from another. For example, raw iron ore (Fe2O3, for example) contains large amounts of silica (SiO2) and other materials. A chemist’s job is to separate the substances in order to obtain pure iron. Consider the mixture of Fe2O3 and SiO2 that represents a heterogeneous mixture. The sand is removed by physical means. Next, the iron is separated from the oxygen in the Fe2O3 by means of a chemical reaction. Pharmaceutical companies also pay strict attention to the separation of compounds. For example, impurities that are harmful if ingested are removed from all medicines. Think of the consequences of obtaining impure medications. The term to purify me
