“Chemistry Experiments” is a guide for students and teachers who look for various experiments in chemistry. I will be mainly focusing on chemical, fertilizers, water, effluent, latex, dry rubber testing in my latest blog. I hope these experiments will definitely help students & teachers. Please mail me if you all need any further assistance or help in any of these tests.

Determination of DRC of Fresh Latex
AIM:
To determine the DRC of Fresh latex.
APPARATUS:
- Cotton waste
- Rubber stopper
- 50ml Erlenmeyer flask ( dried)
- Electronic balance
- 250ml beakers(2)
- Air oven
- Water bath
REAGENTS:
- Distilled water
- 1% Acetic acid solution
PROCEDURE:
- Shake the given sample of latex bottle.
- Transfer 20-25ml latex into a 50ml erlenmeyer flask provided with a stopper.
- Weigh about 10-20gm latex using an electronic balance.
- Note the weight taken.
- Pour the weighed latex into a 250ml beaker. A duplicate should also be done.
- Add equal amount of distilled water.
- Add about 2-3ml of 1% Acetic acid per gram of latex sample.
- Keep the solution undisturbed for 15 minutes on a water bath.
- When the serum is clear, filter it through whatman No: 1 filter paper.
- Thickness of the coagulum is reduced to about 2mm by hand roller.
- Collect any small particles of coagulum present in the beaker by rubbing it with main bulk.
- Wash the coagulum with running water for at least 6 changes of water.
- Dry the coagulum in an air oven at a temperature of 70 degree Celsius for 1 day or for 50 degree Celsius for 2 days.
- Cool for a while & take the final weight.
CALCULATION:
DRC of fresh latex =(weight in gm of dried film/weight in gm of latex sample taken)*100
