Esterification Lab Introduction Esterification is an important part of organic chemistry that has many practical applications. Esterification can be used to make polymers. In most cases‚ esters are used for scents – they often smell fruity and sweet. In general‚ an esterification reaction results from a condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The carboxylic acid group loses an OH group‚ and the alcohol loses and H. For instance‚ the reaction between methanoic acid and methanol

Lab Report: Halogen Reactions Purpose: This experiment will allow for exploration into some of the properties of Group 17 elements (halogens) and their compounds. More specifically‚ the solubility properties of these halogens will be used to predict their reactions. The relative electronegativities of the halogens will be determined. Halides‚such as Cl-‚ Br-‚ and I- will be used to make these determinations. Because this lab is qualitative rather than quantitative‚ there are no calculation

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LAB 2: Separation of Organic Liquid Mixtures Introduction: In this experiment‚ a mixture of two compounds‚ cyclohexane and toluene‚ was separated into fractions by the techniques of simple and fractional distillation. The individual fractions that were gathered from the distillation were analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) and used to compare the efficiencies of the two different distillation techniques. The ultimate goal of this experiment was to determine whether simple

Example lab report of Synthesis of potassium tris (oxalato) ferrate (III) trihydrate Posted by Nurul Yunaliyana Experiment 5: Synthesis of potassium tris (oxalato) ferrate (III) trihydrate Purpose: to synthesis potassium tris (oxalato) ferrate (III) trihydrate ‚K3 [Fe (C2O4)3].3H2O. Introduction: Ferrous ammonium sulfate‚ Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O is dissolved in a slightly acid solution‚ excess oxalic acid‚ H2C2O4‚ is added and the following reaction takes place: Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O + H2C3O4

Date: May 22‚ 2012 Name: Cristhian Valor Organic Laboratory Pre-Lab 1. Main reaction sequence including side reaction products: 2. 3 Sentence Summary of the Experiment: The OH group on the benzene ring in salicyclic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. Thus the formation of acetylsalicyclic acid (aspirin) is referred to as an esterification reaction‚ which requires the presence of H+ (H2SO4 in our case). The technique used to purify the aspirin content

only perhaps‚ to the bitter abortion debate. For decades the value of animal research has been grossly overrated. Although researchers have depended on animal test data to achieve medical advances‚ there should be other means of research because testing on animals is cruel‚ inhumane‚ and often unnecessary. Perhaps it would be more beneficial and humane to test on violent criminals such as rapists‚ murderers‚ and others on death row. The American Medical Association believes that research involving

Use this packet and your book to answer the questions throughout this packet. Organic Nomenclature - Alkanes‚ Alkenes‚ Alkynes Naming organic compounds can be a challenge to any chemist at any level. Historically‚ chemists developed names for new compounds without any systematic guidelines. In this century‚ the need for standardization was recognized. For simple molecules‚ the nomenclature system worked out by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists (IUPAC) works well. For complex
