The orange color of carrots and orange peel is due mostly to β-carotene, an organic compound insoluble in water but soluble in b

enzene and chloroform. Describe an experiment to determine the concentration of β-carotene in the oil from orange peel.

6 0

Answer:

First Method: Vacuum Distillation and Chromatographic separation of the remains that were precipitated out from the peel.

Second Method: Extraction of components from orange peels by help of precipitation procedures that are mostly done <em>In Situ. </em>Those components can be recovered using the saponification process. Then these are examined under UV light spectroscopy. Now, the existence and extent of carotenoids can be determined by checking the levels of anti-oxidants.

What is the atomic model that was found after Bohr’s model and how is it better ?
Lyrx [107]
Schrödinger found the quantum mechanical model of the atom after Bohr’s model.
It is better than Bohr’s model because you can use mathematical equations to find electrons certain position. Unlike Bohr’s which is just a “cloud” where the an electron could possibly be.

Which separation techniques will you apply for the separation of the following? a) oil from water b) kerosene and petrol c) salt
REY [17]

Answer:

A) Separating funnel method

B) Simple Distillation

C) Evaporation

D) Sublimation

E) It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.

Explanation:

A)

B) Kerosene and petrol are both miscible liquids and the difference in their boiling point temperature is not more than 25°C. Thus, we make use of Simple distillation.

C) Can be separated by evaporation where the water is boiled and it evaporates and leaves the salt behind

D) To separate camphor from salt, we use sublimation so the camphor can change directly from solid to the gas state without passing through the liquid state.

E) Chromatography is used to separate components of a mixture.

It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.
