2033 Words9 Pages

Chem 51LB Report Ngoc Tran - Student ID # 72048507 The purpose of this lab is to examine the composition of three components of gas products of elimination reaction under acidic condition by conducting the dehydration of primary and secondary alcohol, and under basic condition by conducting the base-induced dehydrobromination of 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane. Then gas chromatography is used to analyze the composition of the product mixtures. Gas chromatography (mobile phase) is used to analyze the composition of three components of the gas products. A syringe needle with gas product is injected into the machine, and the component is eluted and the composition is related to the column or the peaks.

A syringe needle with gas product is injected into the machine, and the component is eluted and the composition is related to the column or the peaks. In this experiment, dehydration and dehydrobromination undergo the elimination reaction, which includes E1 and E2 reaction. E1 is unimolecular elimination, which is removing H-X substituent to form a double bonds. The mechanism of E1 reaction includes 2 steps, formation of carbocation and deprotonation. E2 is bimolecular elimination, which is the removal of two substituent groups to form an alkene. The hydrogen removed must be anti to the leaving group. The mechanism of E2 reaction has only one steps, which is displacement of leaving group by removing hydrogen. The rate of the E1 elimination is based on substrate only, while it depends on both substrate and base in E2 elimination. E1 elimination is favored by weak base and ptotic solvents, while E2 is favored by strong base, high concentration of nucleophile and aprotic solvents. The major product of E2 elimination is the more substituent alkene, while the products of E1 elimination are trans-cis alkene and terminal

    The goal of the experiment is to synthesize a bromohexane compound from 1-hexene and HBr(aq) under reflux conditions and use the silver nitrate and sodium iodide tests to determine if the product is a primary or secondary hydrocarbon. The heterogeneous reaction mixture contains 1-hexene, 48% HBr(aq), and tetrabutylammonium bromide and was heated to under reflux conditions. Heating under reflux means that the reaction mixture is heated at its boiling point so that the reaction can proceed at a faster rate. The attached reflux condenser allows volatile substances to return to the reaction flask so that no material is lost. Since alkenes are immiscible with concentrated HBr, tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as a phase-transfer catalyst.

    This occurs because the sample vaporized into the gas phase and is placed into a capillary under controlled temperature and pressure.

Accordingly, the alcohol should elute last, preceded by the alkyl halide.

    Sodium bromide and 1-butanol are dissolved in water since the bromide ion from the sodium bromide and the four carbon chain from the 1-butanol are the desired components of 1-bromobutane. In order to get the sodium bromide and the 1-butanol to react sulfuric acid is added to react with the sodium bromide and combine with the sodium ion producing hydro-bromic acid. Later, when the flask is heated the bromide ion will be able to combine with the four carbon chain of the 1-butanol. During the process of this reaction the reagents were kept cool in an ice bath to avoid the possible evaporation of any of the solution.

    Other major pieces of equipment, called water baths, were also used. These baths allowed for varying levels of temperature incubation, and were setup in different locations of the room where the experiment took place. Finally, a spectrophotometer was also employed so that absorbance readings could be gathered. These absorbance readings were extremely important because without them, it would have been very difficult to determine if there was an increase or decrease in the enzyme’s rate of reaction. All but one of these materials were constant conditions.

    ABSTRACT The experiment aims to find the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar sample by titrating it to a standardized NaOH solution, a base solution. A standardized 0.100 M NaOH solution was prepared from an available concentration of NaOH specifically a 1.00 M NaOH. The volume of the standardized solution (titrant) used which is 0.100 L was calculated using the M 1 V 1 = M 2 V 2 relationship.

    Tert-butyl-chloride would be expected to never react in a SN2 reaction, as it is so unreactive under these conditions. For each of the molecules used in this experiment (except tert-butyl-chloride), the nucleophile, iodine, would attack the electrophilic carbon bonded to the leaving group, chloride or bromide. That leaving group would then take the

Temperature will be controlled in this experiment to change the reaction speed of the enzyme and the substrate, this is what the experiment is looking at. The effect of the temperature will be determined by how much gas is released in two minutes, which will change the pressure inside the test tube and will be measured by a gas

    Carbon dioxide is a natural component of Earth’s atmosphere and has an important role in maintaining a livable life on the planet. All animals, including humans, make carbon dioxide when they breathe out. This experiment can be used to teach two things: it is an example of a chemical reaction and it shows how carbon dioxide builds up in water. Bromothymol blue is a chemical indicator that is used to find acids and bases. It is mostly used to show the pH of fish tanks and pools, measuring from 6.0 (yellow color) to 7.6 (green to blue).

    Aerobic catabolism is the first initial step in microbial degradation of PAH which involves incorporation of two atom of oxygen into the aromatic nucleus of the PAH in an enzymatic reaction catalysed by peroxidases, monoxygenase and oxygenase (Das and Chandran, 2010). The incorporation of oxygen into the structure of PAH is the rate limiting step. Oxidation reaction by dioxygenase enzymes incorporates two atoms of oxygen into PAH ring structure. Initial oxidative reaction by dioxygenase enzyme leads to the formation of cis-dihydrodiol (Bamforth and Singleton, 2005; Das and Chandran, 2010). Cis-dihydrodiol undergoes dehydrogenation reaction to form catechols.
