“The Synthesis of Zinc Chloride”‚ what a peculiar name for a lab that does not even involve synthesis. Synthesis‚ by definition‚ is when two elements are combined in a chemical reaction‚but that is not the case. In this lab we are combining zinc‚ an element‚ and hydrochloric acid‚ a compound‚ but combining a compound and an element is not synthesis‚ it is single replacement. We are taking zinc and hydrochloric acid and making zinc chloride and hydrogen‚ a single replacement‚ but what occurred during

Darnell Shaw Lab Extra Credit Hippocrates of Cas (460-377 B.C.)‚ The Healer‚ noted that chewing leaves of willow (Salix) reduced pain‚ and he prescribed this remedy for women in labor. The Healer certainly did not discover this drug‚ which was used for centuries earlier in European folk medicine. Ancient Egyptians took an infusion of dried myrtle leaves to treat muscle pain. The myrtle leaves were also found to contain salicylic acid. Two Italians‚ Brugnatelli and Fontana‚ had in fact already

system to isolate the alum. 2 Al(s) + 2 KOH + 22 H2O + 4 H2SO4 → 2 KAl(SO4)2●12H2O(s) + 3 H2(g) Its composition was analyzed using two precipitation tests and two flame tests. Three methods for growing crystals were then set up for observation next lab. Theoretical yield and percent yield: The theoretical yield for alum was 4.55g and the percent yield was 139%. The percent yield was above 100% because the alum was saturated with ethanol and water. KOH test: The KOH test identified the presence of

Organic Lab 2 February 14‚ 2009 Experiment 4: Borohydride Reduction of 2-Methylcyclohexanone Introduction: When learning about reduction reactions‚ we know that the addition of nucleophilic hydride anion (H-) to the carbonyl group will in turn result in the reduction of aldehydes to primary alcohols. Borohydride‚ and Lithuim aluminum hydride are commonly used as reducing agents. We can note that both of these reagents have a (H-) anion‚ hence it will be a powerful base and also take the

The following paragraph describes the procedures and steps taken on day one of the experiment‚ which focused entirely on the synthesis of the isomer based on Protocol B. Certain chemical agents used on day one have both health and safety risks‚ specific details regarding these risks will be explained in more detail in the following procedures‚ but if unfamiliar with any of these

Aspirin analysis Introduction Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the

History Of Aspirin Aspirin is one of the most commonly used drugs in the world.. For centuries people throughout the world. Aspirin was discovered about 3500 years ago. A collection of 877 medicinal recipes‚ The Ebers papyrus‚ before Christ‚ from the middle of the second millennium had been bought during the last century from an Egyptian street vendor by Georg Ebers‚ a German Egyptologist Georg. He recommended an infusion of dried myrtle leaves for rheumatic and back pain. More than a

Williamson‚ Macroscale and Microscale Organic Experiments‚ 2nd Ed. 1994‚ Houghton Mifflin‚ Boston p385 Revised 10/15/03 Prelab Exercise: Give the detailed mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl benzoate. Introduction: The ester group is an important functional group that can be synthesized in a number of different ways. The low-molecular-weight esters have very pleasant odors and indeed are the major components
