Introduction: The technique used in this experiment is recrystallization. Recrystallization is an often-used method for purifying solids. Recrystallization works by taking advantage of the different solubility properties of compounds‚ and allows impurities to be removed from crude solids. Performing a recrystallization is usually a straightforward task. First‚ you add a small amount of solvent to the impure compound in a flask‚ and heat the contents until all the material has dissolved. Then‚ you

Raquel Johnson October 19‚ 2014 Solids: Recrystallization and Melting Points Organic Chemistry 2423 Lab Report: Recrystallization Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to purify an unknown compound by recrystallization. Taking an unknown compound and identifying it by purifying it from its impurities through the use of hot gravity filtration. Then to determine the unknown you were to take the melting point. An unknown compound was recrystallized from hot water to produce 0.99 grams (67% recovery)

Title: Recrystallization of Pure Phthalic Acid‚ Naphthalene‚ and Anthracene Introduction Recrystallization is a method used for purifying solid organic compounds. It is the most efficient method to purify and remove impurities from a solid to allow a crystal to grow. The method is when the solute in a hot solvent yields to a solution. Once the solvent cools‚ the solution is saturated with respect to the solute‚ which is when it recrystallizes. A crystal is the end result of the method and it is a

family‚ a group of compounds that possess antibacterial and antifungal properties. These agents are esters of para-hydroxybenzoic acid‚ which is why they are collectively called parabens. However‚ in contrast to its cousins‚ ethylparaben‚ butylparaben‚ and propylparaben‚ methylparaben receives its specific name owing to the fact that its chemical structure contains the methyl alkyl group. Methylparaben is found in several fruits‚ in particular blueberries‚ where it acts as an antimicrobial agent. Methylparaben

The extraction of pectin from orange peels has been studied at different sample to solvent ratios‚ different PHs and with different extraction techniques using water. The amount of pectin extracted reduces as the PH increased. This research work is been carried out in order to determine the process condition that will result in high yield of pectin and residual oil extracted from orange peels using the methanol pre-treatment to extract orange peel oil and hydrochloric acid for pectin extraction.

substitution. In this type of reaction‚ two π electrons from the aromatic ring serve for the ring to act as a nucleophile and attack an electrophile. For nitration‚ this nucleophile is NO2+‚ which is produced by reacting nitric and sulfuric acids. After the nucleophile adds‚ the ring has lost aromaticity. Therefore‚ the deprotonated acid in solution can pull off a hydrogen from the same carbon that the nitro group has added to‚ allowing the electrons from that bond to go back into the ring to reproduce aromaticty

Synthesis of Methyl Stearate The purpose of this lab was the convert liquid methyl oleate to solid methyl stearate by catalytic hydrogenation. Firstly‚ we produced hydrogen gas using solid mossy zinc and sulfuric acid. Using the hydrogen produced in the previous reaction‚ we were able to convert the liquid methyl oleate to solid crystals of methyl stearate. A mineral oil was also used to bubbler was used to maintain the hydrogen pressure slightly above the atmospheric pressure and to prevent back-diffusion
