may be counterfeit‚ not containing the chemicals that it should. Panacetin should be made up of about 50 percent of the unknown component that we previously separated out of Panacetin for testing. We suspect that this unknown compound is either acetanilide or phenacetin‚ both of which can be toxic to humans. It is very important that this component is identified so that no one unknowingly takes the “Panacetin” and becomes ill or dies. This whole experiment is based on purifying and then finding

Department of Psychology‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Four organic samples: hexane‚ cyclohexene‚ napthalene and toulene were given to serve as reference standards to characterize and distinguish four unknown given samples. Nitration‚ bromine and basic oxidation testswere conducted to classify the different samples from being an aliphatic‚ or aromatic‚ saturated or unsaturated and alkylated or non-alkylated hydrocarbons. The physical state and color were noted by simple physical

last part of the experiment I observed the melting point of Unknown E. After finding the melting point of Unknown E‚ I used 2-Chloroacetemide with a known melting point between 116-118 degrees Celsius and mixed it with Unknown E. I also took Acetanilide with a known melting point of 114.4 degrees Celsius and mixed it with Unknown E. I then observed these melting points to try and determine the identity of Unknown E. Results: Our first known was 100 % Biphenyl. We did three trials. The following

to be present in your sample of Panacetin (aspirin‚ acetanilide‚ and starch)‚ only starch is insoluble in the organic solvent dichloromethane (or methylene chloride)‚ CH2 Cl2. If a sample of Panacetin is dissolved as completely as possible in dichloromethane‚ the insoluble starch can be filtered out‚ leaving acetanilide and aspirin in solution. The purpose of this experiment is to extract the components of Panacetin. Although the acetanilide and aspirin are both quite insoluble in water at room

2):  During this experiment‚ we used recrystallization methods in order to help in the purification of the unknown solid‚ as well as drying and vacuum filtration. We then ground the unknown and combined it with different chemicals (such as acetanilide or phenacetin) and used the melting point ranges to determine the identity. We used the Mel-Temp method in order to measure the melting points. (It is important to remember that if a chemical is mixed with a differing chemical‚ the melting point

wheland complex The mechanism of electrophilic aromatic substitution involves an initial rate determining interaction of the π system with the electrophile to give a benzenonium ion intermediate (σcomplex or wheland complex)‚ which undergoes a rapid de-protonation by the base in the second step to restore aromaticity (Figure 3).

Kate Kirby June 6‚ 2013 Title: Extraction of an Unknown Compound Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a mixture of two or more unknown compounds and identify them based on their melting point and reactivity with an acid or a base. Compound studied/Reactions: The organic solvent used in this experiment was methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE‚ 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane). The unknown that dissolved in the MTBE‚ but was insoluble in water. MBTE is very volatile and flammable. It was

Introduction:The purpose of this lab was to determine the activating effect of aniline‚ phenol‚ anisole and acetanilide after reacting with pyridinum tribromide in order to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution. The melting point of the isolated products were measured against the standards in order to determine how strong of an ortho/para activator the compound was based on the product(s) and melting point obtained. Theory: Electrophilic aromatic substitution is an organic reaction that takes
