Title: Preparation and isolation of an Ester Aim: To make an ester and purify it Background Theory: Esters are derived from carboxylic acids and alcohols with the presence of a catalyst. A carboxylic acid contains the -COOH group‚ and in an ester the hydrogen in this group is replaced by a hydrocarbon group of some kind. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)is used as a catalyst for this reaction in order to accelerate the rate at which the product is formed. The general formula of an ester is RCOOR’ in

Molar Mass Lab 3.09 Molar Mass of Compounds Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the formula of a copper sulfate hydrate by heating it up. Materials: Hydrate‚ crucible‚ balance‚ Bunsen burner and scale Procedure: First you measure the mass of the empty crucible and record that mass. Then you should fill the crucible with 3-5 scoops of the hydrate and record that mass as well. Heat the hydrate filled crucible above the Bunsen burner for 10 minutes for all f the water to evaporate

Introduction: This lab helps further our understanding of essential principles behind diffusion and osmosis. Permeability‚ concentration gradients‚ plasmolysis‚ water potential‚ and equilibrium were also concepts that were delved into in this lab. Understanding how diffusion and osmosis works is essential to understanding biology. Each time a cell has something move into or out of it‚ some sort of principle studied in this lab is occurring. Diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and passive and active transport are

AP Biology Photosynthesis Lab Bethany Boyer Due 11/12/14 Lab Write-Up Questions First Experiment 1) The independent variable in this experiment was the presence of CO2 (carbon dioxide). The dependent variable was the speed at which the leaf disks started to float. 2) In the leaf tissue‚ the bicarbonate and light are combining to carry out photosynthesis. This will cause oxygen to collect in the leaf tissue‚ causing it to rise. 3) If we were to boil the leaf disks‚ the reaction would most likely

Experiment 12: Calorimetry and Hess’s Law Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the enthalpy of reaction for the burning of one mole of magnesium in oxygen. Although the reaction is exothermic‚ the ∆HRXN will be determined by using calorimetry and then using Hess’s Law to manipulate the data collected to yield the answer needed.
