Dehydration of Methylcyclohexanols Balie Zander Date Conducted: March 27‚ 2013 Date Submitted: April 3‚ 2013 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate the application of Zaitzev’s rule‚ the Evelyn Effect and the occurrence of an E1 mechanism in an alcohol dehydration reaction. Specifically this experiment involved the dehydration of 2-methylcylcohexanol by heating this alcohol in the presence of phosphoric acid and then to based on the results of the gas chromatography

weight‚ so the mass you weigh will be the same on the moon as it is on earth. Gravity is taken out of the equation‚ unlike a spring balance that measures weight and would measure an article to be 1/6 of the weight on the moon as it would be on earth using the same spring balance that relied on gravity. The principle is that of moment‚ or turning force/torque)‚ calculated by force x distance. Fundamentally‚ in the case of a balance beam‚ the force is gravity acting on each side of the fulcrum of

In a brief essay‚ identify at least two of the implications implicit in the society reflected in the poem. Support your statements by specific references to the poem. The Unknown Citizen Comment [ANn1]: OK‚ so I need to IDENTIFY two implications implicit in the society. I need to make sure I’m speaking only to the society reflected IN the poem.

An essential component of this mandate is the delivery of a safe‚ reliable and efficient water supply to satisfy the demand of all sectors of the economy. Whilst over the ensuing years there has been a steady increase in demand‚ there has not been the commensurate investment in infrastructure and the identification of alternative

Module 11A was to test for the presence or absence of a particular set of functional groups through the use of wet chemical tests. In this manner‚ Unknown A which was a colorless solution‚ was first tested with 2‚4-DNP which after mixing for a few seconds formed a bright yellow precipitate. Although this confirms the presence of either a ketone or aldehyde group‚ one simple chemical test does not completely specify the presence or absence of other functional groups. Therefore‚ a second test was made

alkene is the dominant product‚ the reaction follows Zaitsev’s rule. Zaitsev’s rule states that the major product of a β-elimination reaction is the most stable alkene [1].Acid-Catalyzed Dehydration is the elimination of a molecule of water from adjacent carbon atoms. An alcohol can be converted to an alkene by dehydration‚ which is often brought on by heating the alcohol with either 85% phosphoric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid [1]. The objective of this experiment is to dehydrate 3-methyl-3-pentanol

classified as a carboxylic acid. Establish an equivalence value for the unknown to estimate its molecular weight. The equivalent weight or neutralization equivalent for the carboxylic acid can be obtained from the base. It is most important that you accurately weigh your sample of acid and titrate to a phenolphthalein (colorless to pink color) end point using an accurately known dilute solution of sodium hydroxide (0.1000 M). If your unknown is soluble in a greater than 50% ethanol/water mixture‚ then use

Lab: Flame Test Purpose: to determine the ID of 2 unknown substances Background Information: Every atom consists of a nucleus with tiny electrons whizzing around it. The further away from the nucleus they are‚ the more energy the electrons have. If a metal atom is heated‚ the electrons get enough energy to jump higher away from the nucleus‚ they become “excited”. When they fall back closer to the nucleus (back to their ground state)‚ they give off this extra energy as light. Why is the

From the table‚ the result of dehydration of secondary alcohol is expected‚ and it undergoes E1 elimination. As supposed in the theory and mechanism‚ because elimination can occur both sides of secondary carbocation‚ so there are three products: 1-butene‚ trans-2-butene and cis-2-butene with three peaks. The main product is trans-2-butene‚ because it is the most stable compound. However‚ the result of dehydration of primary alcohol is not expected. It is supposed to form only one product‚ 1-butene
