Conclusion: In Station 1- reaction 2, Station 3- reaction 1, Station 4-reaction 1, Station 5 reaction 1, Station 6-reaction 1 and 2, and Station 7- 1 and 2 there was chemical reaction because all of those mixed ionic compounds created a precipitate. However some solutions did not become insoluble and produce precipitates such as: Station 1- BaCl2 (aq) + KNO3 (aq) , Station 2- KNO3(aq) + AgNO3(aq) and KNO3(aq) + CaSO4(aq), Station 3- Na2CO3(aq) + KNO3(aq) , Station 4- NaPO4(aq) + KNO3(aq)
Purpose: The main goal of this lab experiment is to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid through using different processes such as crystallization and filtration. Additionally, determining the purity of the synthesize product alongside with a commercial ASA provided in the lab, through using one of the melting point apparatus or conducting a USP test are also the objectives of this experiment. Results Discussion: As discussed in the lab manual, there are certain instructions which apply to proper measurement to provide accurate values throughout the experiments. For example, the transferring of 10 ml of ASA solution to a vial tube by volumetric pipette was necessary to acquire consistent results for our salicylic acid content.
The purpose of this lab is to use the Diels-Alder reaction to combine anthracene and maleic anhydride. Named after its two founders the Diels-Alder reaction is the addition of a conjugated diene (electron rich compound) with a dienophile (electron poor compound). (1) These compounds will be combined using [4+2] cycloaddition, where the numbers 4 and 2 come from the number of π electrons that are used in each compound to synthesize the product. (2) This experiment comes at the cost of losing two π bonds to form two new sigma (σ) bonds in the cyclic compound. (2)
Two chemical reactions are carried by adding sodium hydroxide to the acidic solution from Part I. During the first reaction is the neutralization of the excess of nitric acid in the mixture by sodium hydroxide. The second reaction takes the place after naturalization is a complete and NaOH is in excess. While the liquid inside the beaker is being stirred, with the stirring rod, 10 ml of 6 M NaOH is poured into the solution from Part I at 1 mL at a time. After each 1 mL the solution is tested for acidity with red litmus paper.
This particular experiment is done as part of my Organic Chemistry course. I was really interseted to do this experiment and I worked out well in this experiment. This experiment was related to the preparation acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is an analgesic compound.
Based on the results, it is determined that the cyclohexane and ethyl acetate produce a positive deviation and chloroform and acetone create a negative deviation together. The cyclohexane and the ethyl acetate were unable to form any intermolecular bonds with each other, which created the low boiling points and the low azeotrope. The two compounds would rather stay in a pure status than be mixed together. The chloroform and the acetone created hydrogen bonding with each other, which increased the intermolecular forces. This caused the mixture to have high boiling points than the two pure liquids by themselves and create a high azeotrope.
Observing the effects of a catalyst on an enzyme’s rate of reaction Leong, M., Kim, E., Nair, A. Achilly, K., 9/22/2015 Introduction: An enzyme is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst. A catalyst increases the rate of reaction by reducing the activation energy required (Reece 2005). Catalase, an enzyme produced by most living organisms, catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 in our bodies in order to maintain homeostasis.
React ethanoic acid and 1-butanol under reflux with the presence of trace amount of concentrated sulfuric acid. In this step, the amount of 1-butanol and ethanoic acid used is the same so that a maximum 70% ester yield can be synthesised at the end of the experiment. After the reactants is accommodated in the reactant flask, the trace amount of concentrated sulfuric acid is added drops-by-drops into the reactant flask and the flask is swirled while adding the acid. Additional of concentrated sulfuric acid is to use as a catalyst to increase the rate of reaction by donating a proton to the oxygen atom in carboxylic acid to allow for the mechanism for esterification and thus, the satisfactory yield of ester can be achieved.
INTRODUCTION Acetylene discovered by Edmund chemist in 1836 Who known it as a "new combination of hydrogen".. In 1860 it was made by a new technique by passing over red hot tube, vapours of organic compounds (methanol, ethanol, etc.) by Marcellin Berthelot . He also found that ethyne can be produced or formed by sparking electricity through mixed cyanogens and hydrogen gases . 1.1 USES: Acetylene (C2H2 ) is extremely reactive , having commercial importanc organic compound. it's employed in Fusion welding (process of joining metallic parts).Acetylene is employed as a primarily staple for the synthesis of no of organic chemicals .
CHAPTER 3 EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE 3.1 Materials & Reagents Adsorption of Cu (II) was studied using Montmorillonite-K 10, procured from Sigma Aldrich. It is a very soft phyllosilicate group of minerals that typically form in microscopic crystals, forming clay. Its Cation Exchange Capacity, CEC was 119 meq/100 g .The elemental composition of this clay was [Al1.47Fe0.29Mg0.23][Al0.076Si3.29]O10(OH)2 as reported by the supplier.
Experimental and Methods Materials All chemicals and solvents used in this study such as hexane, ethanol, hydrogen peroxide, toluene and acetic acid were analar grade and were used without further purification. Oleic acid (OA), Linoleic acid (LA), p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA), oleyl alcohol (OL) and oleoyl chloride (OLC) were acquired from Fisher and Merck.

REGULATION OF FATTY ACID METABOLISM Introduction: Fatty acids are produced by acetyl-CoA by its transformation to malonyl-COA by various known as fatty acid synthases and this takes place in cytoplasm. Acetyl-COA is fuether transformed into various fats molecules taken from carbohydrates through a process known as glycolytic pathway. This pathway basically requires glycerol along with three fatty acid molecules to form a structure called as neutral fats or triglycerols. Two fatty acid molecules basically combines together with a molecule of glycerol along with third alcohol group is phosphorylated to form new structures such as phospholipid and phosphatidylcholine. It makes bilayers that involves in formation of cell membranes around various organelles
Since the extraction temperature of acetic acid extraction prior to terephthalic acid production are desired at T = 313.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The temperature has been carried out since the aqueous solution that fed to extractor column is originally coming from the top product of distillation column in the upstream process, also keeping the temperature at 313.2 K to avoid the crystallization of acetic acid during the process. Therefore, the experimental liquid-liquid equilibrium data for the quaternary system involving methyl acetate + p-xylene + water + acetic acid at a desired temperature and pressure were performed, as shown in Table 2. The data given in Table 2 were shown as mass fraction. The compositions of the feed mixtures for
