how could you determined the concentration of a specific molecule

chromatography
what is chromatography
it is a analytical technique used to separate and analyze compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition
how can it be used
a sample suitable for the injection is created
the sample is injected into the chromatograph using a syringe
the carrier carrier gas moves the sample through the column where the separation occurs
the chromatogram is analyzed to identify and quantify the compounds present
how does chromatograph work
a sample which can be gas or liquid is injected into the chromatograph
the sample is vaporized in the injection port
an inert carrier gas like helium or hydrogen transports the vaporized sample through the column
the column contains a stationary phase that interacts with the sample components, different compounds travel through the column at different rates based on their interactions with the stationary phase
as the separated compounds exit the column, they are detected and recorded typically as a series of peaks on a chromatogram
titration
how does it work
a known volume of the unknown solution is placed in a flask the titrant is slowly added from the burette to the unknown solution until the reaction reaches the equivalent point where the amount of titrant added is stoichiometrically equivalent to the amount of substance in the unknown solution, an indicator is often used to signal the end point of the titration usually by a color change
where is it used
it is used to determine the concentration of acid or base in a solution
used to analyze the concentration of oxidizing or reducing agents
used to determine the concentration of metal ions in a solution
titrant
the titrant is a solution of a known concentration that is added to another solution to determine the concentration of a second chemical substance
titrant is also referred to as the titrator, reagent, or standard solution
analyte
an analyte is a substance which is the sample of interest in an investigation, such as titration, chromatography, or spectroscopy
how is it used
a sample is prepared of the unknown solution in a clean flask
a few drops of an appropriate indicator to the flask
a burette is filled with the titrant solution of a known concentration
the titrant is slowly added to the unknown solution while continuously swirling the flask until the indicator shows that the reaction has reached the end point by changing color
the volume of the titrant used is recorded and used to calculate the concentration of the unknown solution
alcoholmeter
how is it used
a sample of a liquid is prepared the Alcolmeter is placed gently into the liquid ensuring it floats freely without touching the sides of or the bottom of the container
where is it used
breweries and distilleries to ensure the correct alcohol content in products
quality control in laboratories for testing and verifying the alcohol content in various beverage
in scientific research involving fermentation and alcohol production
how does it work
the alcoholometer is calibrated to the density of pure ethanol
-the device is a hollow glass tube that floats in the liquid being tested as alcohol is less dense than water, the alcoholmeter will float at different levels depending on the alcohol content

method of separation: titration
variables
controlled variable
the concentration of the potassium hydroxide
independent variable
the concentration of the oleic acid in the soap
dependent variable
the brand of the soap
materials
soap brands
50 ml of ethanol
50 ml of diethyl ether
conical flask
potassium hydroxide with known concentration
burette
phenolphthalein indicator
pipette
method
weigh approximately 1-2 grams of soap and dissolve it in a mixture of 50 ml of ethanol and 50 ml of diethyl ether in a conical flask
ensure the soap is completely dissolved by gently swirling the flask
fill the burette with potassium hydroxide solution to 0.00 ml on the burette
add a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator on the soap solution
slowly add the potassium hydroxide solution through the burette continuously while swirling the flask
as the drops of potassium hydroxide remains pink for longer is in the soap solution slow down the drops until the the pick color remains without disappearing
limitations
accuracy and pression, as humans are prone to error and the precision titration requires of handling the titrate
other substances present in the soap may interfere with the titration process leading to inaccurate results
risk assessment
ethanol and diethyl ether
flammable
skin contact cause irritation or dryness
potassium hydroxide
corrosiveness can cause severe burns to skin and eyes
breakage
spillage

Burette
pipette
volumetric flask
conical flak
method
collect a sample of the cologne band
use a pipette to measure 25 ml of of the cologne into the volumetric flask
87.5 ml of potassium dichromate is added to the cologne sample
add 25 ml of sulfuric acid to the mixture
add 25 ml of potassium iodide
let the mixture oxidize
add 25 ml of potassium iodide
add a starch indicator to the conical flask
add the standardized thiosulfate solution to the burette
using the burette slowly add the standardized to the conical flask until the blue color of the solution solution
calculate the use the known concentration of the standardized solution to determine the concentration of the analyte
repeat these steps 3 times
repeat these steps for each cologne brand
variables
Independent variable: the brand of cologne
Dependent variable : the concentration of alcohol (ethanol) in the cologne
controlled variable : the concentration of the standardized solution

limitations
other substances present in the soap may interfere with the titration process leading to inaccurate results
