Dehydration Of 2-Methylcyclohexanol Lab Report

724 Words3 Pages

Dalia El-Desoky Organic Chemistry II Lab 05 8 February 2017 Dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol Introduction: Dehydration is a common reaction in Organic Chemistry used to produce carbon-carbon double bonds. The dehydration mechanism involves the removal of water from an alcohol to form an alkene. In this experiment, 2-methylcyclohexanol will undergo acid catalyzed dehydration in heat to form three products: 1-methylcyclohexene, 3-methylcyclohexene, and methylenecyclohexane [1]. The reaction is carried out in a Hickman still filled with Drierite, a drying agent composed of CaSO4 which absorbs water. The product is transferred from the ring of the Hickman still into a pre-weighed vial for analysis. The percent yield of the recovered product is calculated, and IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography are used to analyze the purity and percent composition of different alkene products.

In this experiment, 0.95 mL of phosphoric acid, 0.75 mL of 2-methylcyclohexonal, and Drierite are added to a Hickman still. The prepared Hickman still is submerged halfway into a preheated sand bath. The temperature range was kept above 140 ˚C but below 165˚C to prevent the product from evaporating. The product collected in the ring of the Hickman still for about twenty minutes. Once the reaction was complete, the product was transferred into a pre-weighed vial using a slant Pasteur pipette. The percent yield of the recovered product is calculated, and IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography are used to analyze the purity and percent composition of different alkene

Dehydration Of Hydrates Lab Report

1538 Words | 7 Pages

Hydrates are names given to compounds that contain water molecules with the formula of H2O, usually containing a fixed value of water mass percentage (Kauffman, 1998). The experiment performed consisted of three main parts. First, different hydrated salts were heated in test tubes with a Bunsen burner in order to determine observational changes for before, during, and after dehydration. After dehydrating the salts, water was added back into the test tubes to determine if rehydration was possible for the various salts. Next, several trials of dehydration of the hydrate copper sulfate were performed, with mass being measured along the way to measure the amount of mass lost and the percent of the mass that is composed of water for each sample.

The Anthraquinone Dye Experiment

867 Words | 4 Pages

The anthraquinone dye experiment has the purpose to identify the anthraquinone dyes from unknown mixture by using thin layer chromatography (TLC) of the unknown fraction. An anthraquinone is an aromatic organic compound obtained by the oxidation of anthracene. To separate the compounds in the mixture, column chromatography and thin layer chromatography uses portioning of a sample between a stationary solid phase and a liquid mobile phase. As the stationary phase, they use either silica gel or alumina, and organic solvents as the mobile phase. In order to accomplish the experiment, an unknown which is a solution of at least two anthraquinone dyes will be used.

3mL of strong smelling, clear colorless acetic anhydride liquid was then measured in a 10mL graduated cylinder in the fume hood, and poured into the Erlenmeyer flask. The flask was then gently swirled while 5 drops of 85% phosphoric acid was added to the flask. During this time, the solution in the flask was whitish and cloudy. Phosphoric acid was used in the synthesis to become a source of H+ ions that would catalyze the reaction. Phosphoric acid is a liquid that doesn 't contain much water, since water will cause side reactions and reduce the yield of acetylsalicylic acid.

Hydration Of Alkene Lab Report

657 Words | 3 Pages

The hydration of an alkene leads to the formation of an alcohol as a result of the acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond. This reaction mechanism is an equilibrium reaction as the forward reaction is the hydration of the alkene, and the reverse reaction is the dehydration of the alkene. Whether the equilibrium will favor the forward or reverse reaction is dependent on the conditions of the reaction. Excess water will drive the equilibrium forward as the double bond undergoes hydration. Conversely, removal of water will drive the equilibrium in the reverse direction as the alcohol undergoes dehydration.

Deprotonation Lab Report

165 Words | 1 Pages

Liquid- liquid extraction depends on the solubility of different solutes in immiscible solvents causing organic and aqueous layers. Partitioning coefficient is the ratio of concentration solutes that are in each layer. Deprotonation and protonation of the molecules causes charges to form to distinguish, which solute is in either the organic or aqueous layer. Adjusting pH in the aqueous phase insures that the correct solutes are being recovered. Altering the pH insures that either the solute is going to be in the organic or aqueous phase due to the charges that are form through deprotonation or protonation of the molecule.

The experiment began by setting up the LabQuest and preparing a 2M solution of HCl and a 2M solution of NaOH. This was called “Part A”. Two general rules were noted throughout the experiment: add acid to water and pour stock solution into beaker before graduated cylinder. This prevented flash-boiling of the solution, chemical burns, and spills. To make the 2M HCl solution, 200mL deionized water was added to a 600mL beaker labelled “2M HCl” by using a graduated cylinder.
