In this video I will show you how to import questions from Exam View, if you already were using the program to create tests and quizzes. There is no need to retype question into Bright space. It is easier to import all the questions with the right formatting, well if you enjoy creating quizzes which is not importable into any other program, then this is not for you. 😉

How to pair Apple keyboard with Windows 10
Pairing apple keyboard with windows 10
Pairing your apple keyboard with windows 10 is easy, but quite a number of times you would have experienced frustration. Here is what I found that works.
Go to settings > Device > Add Bluetooth or other device > Select the name of your device.
In this case your Apple Keyboard >
At this time press the button on the opposite end of the battery ( or Command + W) compartment and the Green light flickers.
A number appears on the screen enter it immediately on the apple keyboard and pairing should be complete. If you do not do this right away a couple of times, you will get a new prompt where you will prompted to enter a PIN. Do not worry, you will now enter a number which is the new PIN
Now immediately on the Apple keyboard enter the same number quickly and hit enter. Your keyboard will pair instantly. This works all the time.

Preparation of Osazone
Preparation of Osazone
To confirm the presence of carbohydrate during the analysis of an organic compound, the best way would be the preparation of osazone from the original organic compound given to you.
Chemicals and Equipment’s
- 0.5 grams of carbohydrates or sugar
- 0.4 grams of phenyl hydrazibe hydrochloride
- 0.6 grams of of crystalline sodium acetate
- 50 mL pyrex test tube or a suitable test tube perferably pyrex or borosil.
- 400 mL beaker to prepare a water bath
- A water heater electric or bunsen burner
- Wire gauze if using the bunsen burner
- A tripod stand if using the bunsen burner.
Procedure
In order to prepare the compound, first you need to set up the water bath using a 400 mL beaker that is filled with about 300 mL water.
Now dissolve 0.4 grams of phenyl hydrazine and 0.6 grams of crystalline sodium acetate in 4 or 5 mL of distilled water.
Add this mixture to 0.5 grams of sugar dissolved in 3 or 4 mL of distilled water. Loosely close the test tube with a stopper to hold the reagents. Now place the test tube in the hot water bath, with gentle stirring or agitation. The time taken for the osazone to appear is a sure sign of the type of sugar used. Once the precipitation of the osazone is complete, filter the precipitate and recrystallize the osazone from 50% alcohol
Estimation of Copper as Copper (1) thiocyanate Gravimetry
Estimation of Copper as Copper(1)Thiocyanate Gravimetry
Estimation of Copper as Copper (1) Thiocyanate Gravimetry
Determination of the amount of copper in a solution of Copper(II)sulphate.
This can be achieved by precipitating copper as copper(I)thiocyanate and massing the precipitated copper(I)thiocyanate, hence this is a gravimetric estimation.
2CuSO4 + 2NH4CNS + 2H2O + SO2 => 2CuCNS + (NH4) 2SO4 + H2SO4
Transfer the given copper(II)sulphate solution to a 100 mL volumetric flask, 20 mL of this solution is pipetted into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add about 5 mL of 1 M H2SO4, followed by about 25 to 30 mL of H2SO3 which has been freshly prepared, by passing SO2 though distilled water. This solution is diluted to about 150 mL and heated to boiling. Add about 10 mL of 10 % NH4CNS in small quantities to the warm solution with constant stirring. The NH4CNS should be in excess. As the limiting reagent is the Copper(II) ions.
When the copper(I)thiocyanate is precipitated the solution should be colourless, if not use more ammonium thiocyanate, at this time the solution still should have the odour of sulfur dioxide.
After 24 hours the solution is filtered through a previously washed cleaned, dried and weighed sintered glass crucible (IG-4). The precipitate is washed 10 to 15 times. Add 1 mL of 10 % ammoniumsulphocyanide (NH4CNS) and 5 drops of saturated sulphurous acid to 100 mL of distilled water, cool it and use this liquid for washing the precipitate. Once this is done the final washing is done several times using 20% ethanol to remove the ammonium thiocyanate. The precipitate is dried at 110 to 120 oC for an hour, the precipitate is cooled and massed as CuCNS. The process of heating cooling and weighing until the mass remains constant.
Calculation
Mass of CuCNS = x grams
Mass 1 mole of CuCNS = 121.54g/mol
1 Mole of CuCNS contains 63.54 grams of copper
‘y’ = Mass of copper = 63.54/121.54 * (x mass of CuCNS)
Since we had taken 20 mL of the copper ion solution the total mass of copper(II) present in the solution provided is y*5
Things to note
H2SO3 is used to reduce Cu2+ to Cu+
Keep the pH low to reduce the solubility of the precipitate
Excess ammonium thiocyanate would help in complexing copper ions so should be avoided
Estimation of Magnesium ions in water using EDTA
Estimation of Magnesium ions in water using EDTA
The principle on which the titration lab is based:
The reaction between Mg2+ ions and EDTA can be represented like this.
Mg2+ + H2Y2- → MgY2- + 2H+
Prepare a standard solution of magnesium sulfate and titrate it against the given EDTA solution using Eriochrome Black T as the indicator. A buffer solution is prepared for maintaining the pH of about 10. When the reaction is complete all the magnesium ions would have been complexed with EDTA and the free indicator would impart a blue color to the solution. Estimation of magnesium ions using edta.
Procedure:
Preparation of 0.025M MgSO4.7H2O: Dissolve 0.616 grams of analytic grade magnesium sulfate into a 100 mL volumetric flask. Dissolve the salt completely using distilled or de-ionized water.
Standardization of EDTA: 20 mL of the standard magnesium sulfate solution is pipetted out into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and diluted to 100 mL . Add 2 mL of a buffer solution of pH 10. Add 4 drops of Eriochrome Black T to the solution. The solution is warmed to 40 degrees C and titrated against EDTA taken in the burette. At the end point the color changes from wine red to blue. Repeat titrations for concordant values.
Estimation of magnesium ions in the given sample: 20 mL of the given sample of solution containing magnesium ions is pipetted into a 250 Erlenmeyer flask, the solution is diluted to 100 mL, warmed to 40 degrees C, 2 mL of a buffer solution of pH 10 is added followed by 4 drops of Eriochrome black T solution. The solution is titrated against the standardized EDTA solution. Repeat the titrations to obtain concordant values. The end point is the color change from red to blue.
Using the volumes of solutions used, their determined molarity, you will be able to calculate the amount of magnesium in the given sample of water.
This is how you can perform an estimation of magnesium using edta.
Benzoic Acid From Benzyl Chloride
Preparation of Benzoic Acid From Benzyl Chloride
Preparation of Benzoic Acid from Benzoyl chloride
In this reaction a side chain oxidation is performed. In order to achieve this benzyl chloride is mixed with sodium carbonate solution and is oxidized with potassium permanganate solution. The sodium salt of benzoic acid is formed, this is acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid when benzoic acid crystallizes out. Preparation benzoic acid benzyl chloride
Reagents
- Benzyl chloride 2 ml
- Anhydrous sodium carbonate 2 g in 20 ml of water
- Potassium permanganate 8 g in 80 ml water
Procedure:
About 2 ml of benzyl chloride is added to a solution of about 2 g rams of anhydrous sodium carbonate dissolved in 20 ml of distilled water. The mixture is taken in a round bottom flask. The round bottom flask is fitted with a water refulx condenser and heated . 4 gams of potassium permanganate in 80 ml of water is added in small quantities through the water condenser until a permanent pink color persists even after continuous boiling. It is boiled for about 1 hour. The mixture is not transferred to a beaker. About 4 grams of sodium sulfite are added to this mixture. Now add concentrated hydrochloric acid to this solution until the solution is acidic. The solution is cooled, precipitated benzoic acid is filtered and washed. The acid is recrystallized from boiling water.
The yield of benzoic acid is about 2 grams and the melting point is 1210C
Care should be taken while setting up the equipment’s, the hydrochloric acid used in converting the sodium salt of benzoic acid is concentrated, so extreme care should be taken while handling the chemicals and using them. Wear goggles , gloves and apron while performing the experiment. Use common sense while performing any lab activity and read your lab manual before doing any experiment.
