1. Name: SUCROSE
Chemical Formula: C12H22O11
Use: Sucrose is used in foods and soft drinks as a sweetener, in syrup
processing, in invert sugar, confectionery, preserves and jams, demulcent,
medicinal products, and caramel. Sucrose is also a chemical carrier for
detergents, emulsifiers, and other derivatives of saccharose.

3. Name: Agua Oxinada (Hydrogen Peroxide)

Chemical Formula: H₂O₂
Use: Hydrogen peroxide is a mild antiseptic used on the skin to prevent
infection of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It may also be used as a
mouth rinse to help remove mucus or to relieve minor mouth irritation
(such as due to canker/cold sores, gingivitis).
Element 1: Hydrogen
Number of atoms (element 1): 2
Element 2: Oxygen
Number of atoms (element 2): 2

4. Name: Rubbing Alcohol (Isopropyl Alcohol)

Chemical Formula: C3H8O
Use: Isopropyl alcohol is mixed with water for use as a rubbing-alcohol
antiseptic. It is also used in aftershave lotions, hand lotions, and other
cosmetics. In industry it is used as an inexpensive solvent for cosmetics,
drugs, shellacs, and gums, as well as for denaturing ethanol (ethyl
alcohol).
Element 1: Carbon
Number of atoms (element 1): 3
Element 2: Hydrogen

Ratio: 1 hydrogen to 1 chlorine
Formula: HCl

 NOW DO IT! – Activity 4

FACT 1. Filtration is the process in which solid particles in a liquid or

gaseous fluid are removed by the use of a filter medium that
permits the fluid to pass through but retains the solid particles.
BLUFF 2. Fractional distillation is used for the separation of a mixture of two
or more miscible liquids for which the difference in boiling points is
more than 250◦ F.
BLUFF 3. In making blood components, it is important to separate the cellular
and liquid portions of a blood specimen as soon as possible when
the test requires a sample of serum or plasma. This is done through
chromatography.
FACT 4. Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of
immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a
suspension.
FACT 5. One example of a simple distillation mixture is separating saltwater
to create pure water and salt. During the distillation process, the
water starts to evaporate, and that vapor then cools down to form
pure water. The pure water is collected in a second container.
