	<li data-note-item="1" data-parent-collapse="">Effects of Mobile Phase Composition on Compound Separation<button class="expand">Expand</button>
	<p>In this section of the lab, you will use TLC to compare how well pure hexane and a mixture of 60% hexane and 40% ethyl acetate can separate phenol, benzoic acid, and butyl phenyl ether by measuring the distance the compound traveled in each solvent.</p>
	<ul class="lab-items">
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-2">
		<div class="lab-step">Before starting the lab, put on a lab coat, safety glasses, and nitrile gloves. Note: Hexane and ethyl acetate are both volatile, toxic, and flammable, so always work with them in a fume hood. Change your gloves if you get solvent on them, as hexane and ethyl acetate will permeate nitrile gloves within minutes.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-3">
		<div class="lab-step">Now, obtain a paper towel and lay it on the benchtop. Carefully pick up a TLC plate using tweezers at the very end of the plate.<strong> Note: </strong>Always hold TLC plates by the edges or at the very top with tweezers to avoid damaging or contaminating the silica gel.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-4">
		<div class="lab-step">Look for chips or scratches in the silica gel and get a new plate if necessary. It&#39;s fine if there is a little chipping at only one end, since that can be the top.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-5">
		<div class="lab-step">Place the plate on the paper towel in your fume hood, and lay a metric ruler next to it. Use a graphite pencil to gently make a small mark on the silica gel ~1 cm from the top of the plate. Write &#8216;100&#8217; on the plate above the mark.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-6">
		<div class="lab-step">Next, gently mark the plate 1 cm above the bottom on both sides. Carefully trace a straight line between the bottom marks to make the starting line.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-7">
		<div class="lab-step">Then, add 3 evenly spaced small marks to the starting line with the outer marks at least 0.5 cm from the sides of the plate. <strong>Note:</strong> It&#39;s important for the silica gel to be undamaged here, so if you scratch it with the pencil, prepare a new plate.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-8">
		<div class="lab-step">Now, trace the outline of the TLC plate in your lab notebook and precisely copy the marks on the plate. Label the three marks as &#8216;phenol&#8217;, &#8216;benzoic acid&#8217;, and &#8216;butyl phenyl ether&#8217;. You may also want to label the marks on the plate itself.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-9">
		<div class="lab-step">Prepare a second TLC plate labeled &#8216;60/40&#8217; in the same way. Now, bring the labeled plates to the common bench and locate the 1 mg/mL solutions of phenol, benzoic acid, and butyl phenyl ether in ethanol.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-10">
		<div class="lab-step">Dip a clean capillary into one of the three solutions. Briefly and lightly dab the capillary squarely against the intersection between the starting line and the mark for that compound. You should spot twice for each compound.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-11">
		<div class="lab-step">Use the same capillary to spot the same solution on your second TLC plate. The spots should be no more than 2 mm in diameter. Then, discard the capillary and close the vial.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-12">
		<div class="lab-step">Spot the other two solutions on the plates, in the same way, using clean capillaries. Be careful not to cross-contaminate the solutions. <strong>Note</strong>: If a spot is very light or very small, wait for it to dry, and then spot the same solution on top of the dry spot. If the spot is still wet, capillary action could make it too wide and dilute.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-13">
		<div class="lab-step">Once you have made three spots on each plate, discard the capillaries and bring the plates back to your hood. Keep the plates lying flat while they dry.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-14">
		<div class="lab-step">Now, label a 50-mL jar &#8216;100% hexane&#8217; and bring the jar, its cap, and a 10-mL graduated cylinder to the solvent hood.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-15">
		<div class="lab-step">Measure 2 &#8211; 3 mL of pure hexane with your graduated cylinder and pour it into the jar to fill it to a depth of 0.62 &#8211; 0.7 cm. Cap the bottle and jar and return to your fume hood.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-16">
		<div class="lab-step">Label a second 50-mL jar &#8216;60% hexane, 40% ethyl acetate&#8217; and bring it and a clean graduated cylinder to the solvent hood. Measure 2 &#8211; 3 mL of the 60/40 mixture into the jar and return to your fume hood.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-17">
		<div class="lab-step">Stand the plates next to the jars to compare the relative position of the solvent and the spots. The solvent level should be below the spots for each plate.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-18">
		<div class="lab-step">Then, obtain three pieces of filter paper, put a filter paper upright against the wall in each jar, and then cap the jars tightly.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-19">
		<div class="lab-step">Initial each plate above the mark so you can identify them later. Confirm that the filter papers in the jars have become saturated with solvent and that the spots on the plates are completely dry.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-20">
		<div class="lab-step">Now, open the 100% hexane jar and use tweezers to gently place the 100 plate in the jar, keeping the plate level with the solvent surface as it enters the solvent. Close the jar tightly, being careful not to jostle the plate.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-21">
		<div class="lab-step">Leave the jar still as the solvent travels up the plate. Development in pure hexane usually takes about 7 &#8211; 10 min. Keep an eye on the plate to make sure that the solvent doesn&#39;t reach the top.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-22">
		<div class="lab-step">When the pure hexane solvent front is about 1 cm from the top of the plate, retrieve it using tweezers. Lay it on the paper towel with the silica gel facing up and quickly mark the solvent front with a line and pencil across the plate. Leave the plate lying flat as the solvent evaporates.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-23">
		<div class="lab-step">Place the other plate in the 60/40 eluent in the same way. Wait until the solvent front of the 60/40 plate is about 1 cm from the top, and then retrieve it and quickly mark the solvent front in the same way.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-24">
		<div class="lab-step">Once the 100% hexane plate is completely dry, pick it up with tweezers and bring it and a pencil to the UV lamp on the common bench.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-25">
		<div class="lab-step">Place the plate under the lamp and illuminate it with UV light. The plate will glow green because of a fluorescent marker in the silica gel layer. The dark spots are the compounds.</div>

		<li data-sub-note-item="1-26">
		<div class="lab-step">Carefully outline every spot in pencil, even if they haven&#39;t moved very far.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-27">
		<div class="lab-step">Then, turn off the lamp and bring your plate to the iodine development hood. Open the iodine chamber. Use tweezers to gently place the plate upright in the iodine chamber, and then cover the chamber again.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-28">
		<div class="lab-step">Wait 3 &#8211; 4 min for the iodine vapor to stay in the spots. Then, retrieve the plate with tweezers, close the chamber, and outline the brown and yellow spots on the plate. These spots will fade, so mark them quickly.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-29">
		<div class="lab-step">Visualize the dry 60/40 plate under UV light and then with iodine vapor in the same way.<strong> Note: </strong>To avoid side reactions, always check plates under UV light before exposing them to iodine.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-30">
		<div class="lab-step">Now, precisely copy the spots and the solvent fronts onto the corresponding drawings of the plates in your lab notebook. For each plate, measure and record the height of the solvent front relative to the starting line.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-31">
		<div class="lab-step">Lastly, measure the distance between the center of each spot and its starting line, and record it in your lab notebook. You can now move on to the next part of the lab.</div>

	<li data-note-item="2" data-parent-collapse="">Unknown Compound Identification<button class="expand">Expand</button>
	<p>In the second half of the lab, you&#39;ll use TLC to find out what&#39;s in an unknown analgesic. It could contain one or more of these compounds: aspirin, caffeine, and acetaminophen. These compounds are highly polar, so you&#39;ll use a premade mixture of 90% ethyl acetate and 10% hexane as the eluent.</p>
	<p>You&#39;ll run the three reference compounds and the unknown all on the same plate. Later, you&#39;ll use the Rf values of the reference compounds to identify the unknown. First, double-check which unknown material you were assigned to analyze before starting.</p>
	<ul class="lab-items">
		<li data-sub-note-item="2-3">
		<div class="lab-step">Now, lay a clean paper towel in the hood and obtain a new TLC plate. Prepare the top mark and the starting line the same way as before. Make four evenly spaced ticks on the plate, making sure that the outer marks are at least 0.5 cm away from the edges.</div>

	<p>In this experiment, you will combine varying concentrations of aqueous HCl and sodium thiosulfate to make solid sulfur, which rapidly gathers into opaque yellow particles at a certain sulfur concentration. Since the reaction solution starts clear and colorless, you can easily tell when it reaches that concentration.</p>
	<p>You&#39;ll use the same test tube and total volume each time, so it will take the same amount of sulfur to make each solution completely opaque. Thus, you&#39;ll measure the reaction progress by timing how long that takes. You&#39;ll then use that data to estimate the reaction orders of the individual reactants and of the overall reaction.</p>
	<p>Before starting the lab, make a table listing the reactant concentrations, the time to solution opacity, and the solution temperature for the trials.</p>

You&#39;ll perform two benchmark trials, three trials with different sodium thiosulfate concentrations, and three trials with different HCl concentrations.

	<p>In this experiment, you will be assembling an electrolytic cell to perform electroplating. An electrolytic cell contains an anode and cathode connected by a power source, which drives the nonspontaneous redox reaction in the cell. When the anode material is oxidized, the ions travel to the cathode, where they are reduced and plated.</p>
	<p>In the case of this experiment, the electrolytic cell contains a copper anode and a brass key for the cathode. Oxidation of the anode creates copper(2+) ions, which are then reduced on the brass key, forming a thin plating of solid copper.</p>

<button class="expand">Expand</button><ul class="lab-items"><li data-sub-note-item="2-1"><div class="lab-step">NOTE: Before cells can pass through all of the stages of the cell cycle there are several checkpoints they must go through. These checkpoints are regulated by cyclin and cyclin-dependent kinase proteins, or CDKs. If the cyclins and CDKs determine that previous cellular events have not been adequately completed they will arrest the cells at this step and prevent them from proliferating. In cancer cells one or several of these molecular restraints for regulating cell division are lost and this allows the damaged cells to escape from cell proliferation control. These abnormal cells develop into tumors which are masses of uncontrolled proliferating cells that interfere with the normal functions of the body. Notice how before it divides this cancer cell rounds up and refracts light very strongly under the light microscope. This is because not all cancer cells successfully divide into daughter cells after each round of mitosis. This will mean that they often contain an excess of organelles and DNA and this increase in cellular content means they will refract light more intensely than normal cells do.

Hypotheses: The alternate hypothesis for this experiment might be that the sample prepared without SDS, a strong anionic detergent that breaks apart cell membranes, will yield less DNA than the sample prepared with SDS. The null hypothesis for this experiment might be that both samples will yield an equal amount of DNA.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-2"><div class="lab-step">To begin collect a tissue sample for DNA isolation. Here you will be using your own cheek cells.
