la lang...

Just when im in the mood to finish my laboratory experiments, i can not make it possible. The laboratory ran out of solvent and i need it very badly in order to purify my finished product before it is submitted for IR and MS analysis. Infrared (IR) and Mass spectroscopy are analytical tools which will tell me of the functional groups (IR) and molecular fragments (MS) present in the compound im preparing. In short, it will tell me if the reaction has actually occured. TLC or thin layer chromatography is sufficient to determine if the reaction has actually taken place. With IR and MS, one is able to characterize the compound which is actually more challenging. ;)
(magamitan na gud ako pagkachemist...)

According to the RA of my thesis adviser, the solvent will not be shouldered by our adviser due to financial concerns (re her project). In short, i'll have to buy it myself. Good thing, a technical grade of that solvent is available which cost P185/liter as compared to analytical grade which cost P1850/2.5liter. Analytical grade solvent is of higher purity as compared to technical grade. However, a technical grade can be purified by distillation which is actually more practical as buying analytical grade.

Grabeeeh!!! Chem kaau ang ako gipangdada... I can not believe it... i have nothing to say and i was asked by a friend to update. hehehe
