    Jan Orlan Ong
    The document provides instructions for an activity in General Chemistry 1 involving the identification of unknown substances. It describes two unlabeled containers containing unknown clear liquids - one with a fruity odor and the other odorless. It asks to list three physical or chemical tests that could be used to determine their identities and provide rationales. It then describes a mixture containing water, table salt, ethanol and iron granules, and asks to propose a separation method using multiple physical separation techniques.

    Activity for General Chemistry 1 Week 1
    Instructions: Answer the questions completely and show your solution.
    1. There are two unlabeled reagent bottles with unknown substances. The only
    available data are the following:
    Substance on container A Substance on container B
    Color Clear clear
    Smell Fruity odor Odorless
    Physical State liquid Solid
    To determine their respective identities, what physical or chemical will you determine?
    List 3 and rationalize your answers.

    Electric Properties - Some materials carry electricity more efficiently than others. This
    implies that electric charge can readily pass through them. Because copper wire is an
    excellent conductor, it is used to carry electricity. Rubber and polymers, which do not
    conduct easily, are employed to impede the passage of charge. Scientists can examine
    the electric conductivity of an unknown material using the right instruments.

    Magnetic Properties - Some materials are attracted to magnets, whereas others are not.
    A paper clip can be picked up with a magnet, but not a plastic button or a wooden
    match. Iron, cobalt, and nickel are magnetic, which means they respond to magnets,
    while copper, aluminum, and zinc are not. Steel, which includes iron, is magnetic as
    well.

    Density - Wood, plastic, and steel all have varying densities. Many compounds'
    densities have previously been established by scientists. As a consequence, the density
    of an unknown material may be easily compared to the densities of known substances.
    Finding any similar densities will provide you with information about the unknown
    substance's probable identification. It is conceivable, however, for two distinct
    substances to have the same density. In that scenario, further data would be required to
    positively identify the drug.
    2. A mixture has the following components with their respective physical properties.
    Come up with a separation method that will separate and collect each component of the
    mixture. (Hint: use more than one physical separation technique)
    Water Table Salt Ethanol Iron granules
    Boiling point, °C 100 1,465 78.4 2,862
    Freezing Point / 0 801 -114.6 1,538
    Melting point, °C
    Solubility N/A Soluble in Soluble in Insoluble in
    water water water

    Distillation is a separation procedure that can separate a liquid from a mixture of two or
    more liquids. It works because the ethanol in the mixture has a different boiling point
    than the water and table salt. Evaporation is a separation process that we may use to
    separate table salt from water and iron particles since it separates a solid substance
    that has been dissolved in water or any other liquid. Distillation is a separation
    procedure that can separate a liquid from a mixture of two or more liquids. It works
    because the ethanol in the mixture has a different boiling point than the water and table
    salt. Because iron granules are insoluble in water, we can separate them from the
    mixture using filtration, and we can remove the iron granules using a strainer.
