effectively killing most yeasts‚ bacteria and fungi. Sodium benzoate is effective only in acidic conditions (pH < 3.6) making its use most prevalent in foods such as preserves‚ salad dressings (vinegar)‚ carbonated drinks (carbonic acid)‚ jams (citric acid)‚ fruit juices (citric acid)‚ and chinese food sauces. It is also found in alcohol-based mouthwash and silver polish. More recently‚ sodium benzoate has become apparent in many soft drinks‚ including Sprite‚ Fanta‚ Sunkist‚ Dr Pepper and Coke Zero. It

TWO-BASE EXTRACTION OF BENZOIC ACID‚ 2-NAPHTHOL‚ AND NAPHTHALENE FROM UNKNOWN SAMPLE # 131 Douglas G. Balmer (T.A. Mike Hall) Dr. Dailey Submitted 11 July 2007 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a sample of benzoic acid‚ 2- naphthol‚ and naphthalene of unknown proportions using a two-base extraction method. The three components of the mixture will react differently to sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide because each of the bases’ conjugate acids has a different pKa

Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Abstract: This procedure demonstrates the nitration of methyl benzoate to prepare methyl m-nitrobenzoate. Methyl benzoate was treated with concentrated Nitric and Sulfuric acid to yield methyl m-nitrobenzoate. The product was then isolated and recrystallized using methanol. This reaction is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction‚ in which the nitro group replaces a proton of the aromatic ring. Following recrystallization‚ melting point and infrared

The obtained mass of benzocaine and benzoic acid mixture was measured to be 2.075 grams. Following being dried for a week the mass of benzocaine was recorded to be 0.250 grams‚ and benzoic acid was recorded to be 0.600 grams. The melting point range of benzocaine was measured to be 89.5°C-91.5°C‚ while benzoic acid’s melting point range was measured to be 129°C-131.3°C. The percent mass recovered was calculated to be 40.96% for the experiment. Table 1 illustrates the collected information. Starting

Experiment 2&3 Recrystallization and Melting Points Determinantion of Benzoic Acid Abstract In experiment 2‚ recrystallization was used to purify the crude benzoic acid extracted from a mixture during experiment 1. Then a percent recovery for this recrystallization process was calculated. In experiment 3‚ the melting point ranges of the crude and purified benzoic acid were both determined by using Melt Temp Apparatus. Introduction Recrystallization is a purification technique for non-volatile

Experiment #5: Esterification of Methyl Benzoate from Benzoic Acid October 28‚ 2010 Abstract: This experiment was conducted to synthesize methyl benzoate from benzoic acid and methanol by using the Fischer esterification method. Methanol (12.5ml) and Benzoic acid (4.9 grams) are heated together in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (1.5ml) until equilibrium is achieved. A reflux apparatus is set up for 1 hour to carry out the reaction at the boiling point of the solvent (Methanol
