Quantitative Determination of Hydrogen, Leybold Products

Leybold Chemistry Experiments.

• Determine the composition of organic compounds
• Learn the process of thermal analysis
• Analyze the content of hydrogen in a compound
• Determine the structure of organic compounds

In experiment C2.1.1.2, the hydrogen content of an organic compound is determined quantitatively. Here, too, the combustion analysis is carried out, whereby the carbon is converted to CO₂ and the hydrogen is converted to H₂O. The water content is determined from the difference in the weight of the drying tube, and the share of hydrogen is determined from the water content.
