OBJECTIVE
To employ potentiometric techniques in the determination of fluoride content of
toothpaste samples by using direct calibration and standard addition methods.
MATERIALS
a) Equipment
Potentiometer (or pH meter)Combination fluoride ion-selective electrode
Magnetic stirrer with spin bar
b) ReagentsStock Standard Fluoride Solution (500 ppm)
Weigh exactly 27.62 mg dry NaF (AR, dried for 4 hours at 110 C) and dissolve indistilled water. Transfer the solution in 25-mL volumetric flask and dilute to volumewith distilled water. Store in a plastic container.
Total Ionic Strength Adjustment Buffer (TISAB)Place approximately 250 mL of distilled water in a 500-mL beaker and add 28.5 mL of
glacial acetic acid, 29 g NaCl, and 2.0 g 1,2-EDTA. Stir to dissolve. Place beaker in a
cool water bath and slowly add 6 M NaOH (about 62 mL) with stirring until pH isbetween 5.3 and 5.5. Transfer to a 500-mL volumetric flask and add distilled water to the
mark.
c) Sample toothpaste: Ask students to bring different brands of toothpaste.
PROCEDURE
A. Direct Calibration MethodSample Preparation
1. Weigh accurately 1.0 g toothpaste sample in a 50-mL beaker and dissolve in a small
amount of water. Quantitatively transfer the solution into a 50-mL volumetric flask anddilute it to volume with distilled water.
2. Take 5.00 mL of the toothpaste solution (for Colgate, Beam or Hapee) or 1.00 mL of the
toothpaste solution (for Exceed or Unique) and transfer to a 50-mL volumetric flask. Add
25.0 mL of the TISAB solution. Dilute to the mark with distilled water and mix well.
Measurement of Standard Solutions1. Accurately measure out 25 mL of TISAB and 25 mL of distilled water. Transfer into a
100-mL beaker. Immerse the combination fluoride-selective electrode into the solution
and measure the developed potential while stirring on a magnetic stirrer. Avoid stirring
before immersing electrodes because any bubble entrapped on the surface of the electrodes

can cause erroneous readings. Let electrodes remain in solution for 2 minutes (or until
equilibrium is established) before taking a final millivolt reading. A layer of insulating
material (e.g. tissue paper) between stirrer and beaker minimizes solution heating.
2. Turn off the magnetic stirrer and using a micropipette, add 50 L of 500 ppm standardfluoride solution to the beaker. Stir the solution and take the potential reading once
equilibrium is established. Repeat the same procedure until a total of 250 L of fluoridestandard solution have been added.3. The readings obtained from these measurements will be used in the construction of the
calibration curve.
Determination of Analyte
1. Measure the potential of the previously prepared toothpaste solution (with TISAB).
2. Prepare a standard calibration curve by plotting the potentials obtained from the solutions
against the logarithm of the fluoride concentrations.3. Determine the level of fluoride in the toothpaste sample using the results from your
regression.
B. Standard Addition Method1. Take 5.00 mL of the toothpaste solution (for Colgate, Beam or Hapee) or 1.00 mL of the
toothpaste solution (for Exceed or Unique) and transfer to a 50-mL volumetric flask.2. Add 25 mL of TISAB solution. Mix thoroughly and dilute to the volume with distilled
water. Measure potential as follows:
Transfer the solution to a 100-mL beaker. Place the beaker on a magnetic stirrer plate.
Immerse electrode into the solution and while stirring at a constant rate, read the initialpotential.
3. After taking the initial potential reading, without disturbing the set-up, add 50 L of 500ppm fluoride standard solution to the sample solution in the beaker. Read the potential
once the equilibrium is established.4. Repeat the addition of 50 L of the standard solution as done above. After each addition,
take the stable potential reading. Ensure that the potential readings obtained fall within thepotential range of the standard solutions used in the direct calibration method.

SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC AALYSIS OF CAFFEIE AD BEZOIC ACID I
SOFT DRIKS
ITRODUCTIO:
In this experiment ultraviolet absorbance is used to measure two major components found
in softdrinks, caffeine and benzoic acid. Caffeine is added as a stimulant and sodium benzoate isa preservative. The samples that will be analyzed are restricted to non-diet soft drinks only
because the sugar substitute aspartame in diet soda has some ultraviolet absorbance that slightly
interferes in the present experiment. Darkly colored drinks are not also recommended as samples
because the colorants have ultraviolet absorbance. Mountain Dew, Sprite, and, probably, otherlightly colored drinks are suitable for this experiment. There is undoubtedly some ultraviolet
absorbance from colorants in these beverages that contributes systematic error to this
experiment.
Reagents
Stock solutions:
100 mg benzoic acid/L in water
200 mg caffeine/L should be available.0.10 M HCl
Procedure
1. Calibration standards: Prepare benzoic acid solutions containing 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 mg/L in
0.010 M HCl. To prepare a 2 mg/L solution, mix 2.00 mL of benzoic acid standard plus 10.0 mLof 0.10 M HCl in a 100-mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with water. Use 4, 6, 8 and
10 mL of benzoic acid to prepare the other standards. In a similar manner, prepare caffeine
standards containing 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 mg/L in 0.010 M HCl.
2. Soft drink: Warm ~20 mL of soft drink in a beaker on a hot plate to expel CO2 and filter the
warm liquid through filter paper to remove any particles. After cooling to room temperature,
pipet 4.00 mL into a 100-mL volumetric flask. Add 10.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl and dilute to themark. Prepare a second sample containing 2.00 mL of soft drink instead of 4.00 mL.
3. Verifying Beer's law: Record an ultraviolet baseline from 350 to 210 nm with water in thesample and reference cuvets (1.000 cm pathlength). Record the ultraviolet spectrum of each of
the 10 standards with water in the reference cuvet. Note the wavelength of peak absorbance for
benzoic acid (') and the wavelength for the peak absorbance of caffeine ("). Measure theabsorbance of each standard at both wavelengths and subtract the baseline absorbance (if yourinstrument does not do this automatically). Prepare a calibration graph of absorbance versus
concentration (M) for each compound at each of the two wavelengths. Each graph should go
through 0. The least-squares slope of the graph is the molar absorptivity at that wavelength.

DETERMIATIO OF TRACE LEVELS OF COPPER AD LEAD I VEGETABLE
SAMPLES USIG THE ATOMIC ABSORPTIO SPECTROPHOTOMETER
OBJECTIVE
To illustrate how trace amounts of several nutritionally important elements in vegetable
samples can be determined through atomic absorption spectrophotometry
INTRODUCTION AND THEORY
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) is used for the qualitative and quantitativeidentification and determination of trace levels of metals in different samples. In AAS,
measurement is made of the radiation absorbed by the nonexcited atoms in the vapor state. It is
similar to molecular absorption spectroscopy, the major difference being that unbound atoms
rather than molecules are the absorbing species. In terms of instrumentation, the monochromatorin an atomic absorption instrument is placed after the sample. This arrangement is necessary to
remove unwanted radiation created during the atomization process.
In most common instruments, the sample solution is introduced into the flame in an
aerosol form. Before the salt vaporizes and dissociates into free gaseous atoms, the solvent must
first evaporate. At certain temperatures of an air-acetylene flame, atoms of many elements existmostly in the ground state. When a beam of radiant energy that consists of the emission spectrum
for the element that is to be determined is passed through the flame, some of the ground state
atoms absorb energy of characteristic wavelengths and are elevated to a higher energy state. Theamount of energy as a function of concentration of an element in the flame is the basis of atomic
absorption spectroscopy.

IFRARED SPECTROMETRY: SAMPLIG METHODS AD QUALITATIVE
AALYSIS
OBJECTIVES
To obtain and study the infrared spectra of a selection of compounds with a range of
common functional groups
INTRODUCTION AND THEORY
Qualitative analysis using the infrared spectroscopy is possible because of the uniquecomplexity of the infrared spectra of different compounds. The vibrational modes of motion in a
molecule give rise to the bands in the spectrum, and no two compounds give exactly the same
spectrum. There are, however, similarities between the spectra of similar compounds with
similar functional groups.
The frequencies associated with certain functional groups and certain substitutionpatterns have been studied extensively. As a result, correlation charts have been developed.
These certain correlation charts give frequency ranges over which we can expect to find
vibrational bands for the molecular subgroups of interest; though the frequency ranges are not
all-inclusive. The vibrational frequencies of a molecule depend on the number, weight andgeometrical arrangement of the atoms and the force constant of each interatomic bond. A change
in any one of these factors will alter the infrared spectrum of the molecule.
The acquisition of a high quality spectrum is possible by the proper choice of sample
handling technique. It is also important to remember that the spectrum should have no peaks
which are bottomed up, that is, regions where transmittance is near zero.
SAMPLIG TECHIQUES
Techniques for mounting the sample in the beam of the infrared spectrometer depend onwhether the sample is a gas, liquid, or solid. Intermolecular forces vary considerably in passing
from solid to liquid to gas, and the infrared spectrum will normally display the effect of these
differences in the form of frequency shifts or additional bands, etc. It is, therefore, mostimportant to record on a spectrum the sampling technique used.
LIQUIDS and SOLUTIONS
The simplest technique of all consists of sampling a liquid as a thin film squeezed
between two infrared-transparent windows. The thickness of the film can be adjusted by varying
the pressure used to squeeze the flats together; the film thickness is 0.1-0.3 mm. Care must betaken to keep the windows from moisture.
Liquid samples can also be examined in solution. The sample can be dissolved ina
solvent and the spectrum of this solution recorded. The solution is placed in a solution or liquid
7/27/2019 Advanced Analytical Chemistry Experiments (c) DPSM UP MANILA
12/59
12
cell (also known as cavity cell) consisting of transparent windows (e.g. NaCl or KBr) with a
spacer between them of known thickness; its thickness determines the path length of the cell
usually 0.1-1.0 mm. A second cell containing pure solvent is placed in the reference beam so thatthe solvent absorptions are cancelled out and the spectrum recorded is that of the solute alone.
Pure liquid samples or mixtures can also be injected in the liquid cell neat and highquality spectrum obtained by choosing a suitable path length (i.e. right spacer).
SOLIDS
There are three common techniques for recording solid spectra: KBr discs, mulls, and
deposited films. Solids can be examined in solution but the solution spectra may have different
appearances from solid spectra since intermolecular forces will be altered.
KBr discs are prepared by grinding the sample with dry KBr and compressing the whole
into a transparent wafer or disc.
Mulls or pastes are prepared by grinding the sample with a drop of oil, the mull is then
squeezed between transparent windows as for liquid samples. Liquid paraffin (Nujol) mull is themost widely utilized.
Solid films can be deposited onto NaCl or KBr windows by allowing a solution in a
volatile solvent to evaporate drop by drop on the surface of the window. Polymers and variouswaxy or fatty materials often give excellent spectra in this way.
PROCEDURE
1. Record the spectra of the samples provided using the different sampling techniques. Identifyand label the prominent bands in each spectrum.
2. Give the information about the chemical structure of a compound that can be deduced from
the IR spectra.
3. Compare the different sampling techniques. Comment on the kind of sample that can be mostappropriately prepared for each technique.

DETERMIATIO OF CAFFEIE I BEVERAGES USIG HIGH PERFORMACE
LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
OBJECTIVES
To determine the concentration of caffeine in coffee, tea and cola beverage drinks using
reversed phase HPLC
INTRODUCTION AND THEORY
Food and pharmaceutical products are subjected to strict quality control (QC) proceduresto ensure consistency of the formulation within specified limits. Caffeine is a common
component of coffee and cola beverages.
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used for the separation and
quantitative analysis of a wide variety of mixtures, especially, those where the components areinsufficiently volatile and/or thermally stable to be separated by gas chromatography (GC). It is
used extensively in the analysis of pharmaceutical products, foodstuffs and beverages,agrochemicals, polymers and plastics and for monitoring drugs and their metabolites in the body
fluids. The components of a mixture are carried through a column by a mobile liquid phase
pumped under high pressure. The order of elution is determined by the chemical nature of
components, the mobile phase and the stationary phase. Stationary phases are silica or
chemically modified silica (bonded phases) of a very small particle size (3 m to 10 m). Theeluted components are detected by monitoring the UV absorbance or fluorescence, the current
generated by redox reaction (amperometry) or the refractive index. The eluted components arecharacterized by their retention times, tR, or their capacity factors, k
and quantitative analysis is
accomplished by comparing the areas of analyte peaks or heights with those of standards.

GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY
OBJECTIVES
To separate and determine the composition of a mixture of hydrocarbons and to identify
unknown members of hydrocarbons by gas chromatography
To determine some chromatographic parameters in the separation of hydrocarbon
samples
INTRODUCTION AND THEORY
Gas Chromatography (GC) is used for the separation and quantitative analysis of
mixtures where the components are sufficiently volatile and thermally stable to pass through a
chromatographic column in the vapor state. This normally requires elevated temperature of100C to 400C. It is used in the analysis of petrochemicals and many products absed on them,solvents, volatile natural products, pesticide and herbicide residues, and paints and polymers
after pyrolysis. The component of a mixture are carried through the column by an inert carriergas, usually nitrogen, and are generally eluting in the order of increasing boiling points, although
differing affinities for the stationary phase may affect the order of elution. The elutedcompounds are detected by monitoring a physical property of the gas stream leaving the column,such as the degree of induced ionization, thermal conductivity or emission of characteristic
electromagnetic radiation. Eluted compounds are characterized by their retention times, tR, and
quantitative analysis is accomplished by comparing the areas or heights of analyte peaks withthose of standards. Most modern chromatographic apparatus are equipped with electronic
integrators that could provide measurements of relative peak areas. While analysis based on thepeak height can be performed using the triangulation method. The baselines of the two sides of a
chromatographic peak are connected by a straight line and the perpendicular distance from thisline to the peak is measured. The efficiency of the column can be measured by knowing the
number of theoretical plates and the resolution. The number of theoretical plates, N, can bedetermined using the equation:
=16tR
w
2
where w is the width of the peak at its base and t R is the retention time. While the resolution Rs isthe measure of the ability of the column to separate two analytes A and B.
Rs =2 tR( )B tR( )A[ ]

The rate of migration of the solutes in the column can be described by the capacity factor
k. For a solute A,
k'A =tR tM
tM
where tM is the dead time which is the measure of the average rate of migration of the mobile
phase.
