Synopsis The purpose of this experiment was for students to prepare some simple organic compound and to purify the compound by recrystallisation. This experiment allowed the students to conduct the synthesis of aspirin‚ acquire the skills of recrystallisation using normal filtration and reinforce the technique of the melting point determination. The method used to synthesize aspirin was esterification by reacting salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the presence of dehydrating agent‚ conc

Differences Between Ionic and Covalent Compounds Abstract In chemistry‚ a compound is a substance formed from two or more elements‚ with a fixed ratio determining the composition. A defining characteristic of a compound is that it has a chemical formula. Formulas describe the ratio of numbers of atoms in a substance. Compounds may have a number of possible phases. For a compound to be a liquid or a gas and still be called a compound‚ atoms from the various elements must be stuck together in

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY – CLASS XI (ISC) Properties of Group 1 elements [Alkali metals] 1. Due to high reactivity‚ alkali metals do not occur free in nature. Elements of group 1 (or IA) are known as alkali metals because their hydroxides are soluble in water and form strongly alkaline solutions. Alkali metals are stored under kerosene oil because they get tarnished on exposure to air. 2. The general electron configuration of alkali metals is ns1. 3. Alkali metals have largest size and lowest

AND PURIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AIMS: To isolate organic‚ inorganic and component from a given sample. To become acquainted with various separation methods. To examine the solubility behavior of the various compounds in a mixture using different solvents. INTRODUCTION A commonly used method of separating a mixture of organic compounds is known as liquid-liquid extraction. Most reactions of organic compounds require extraction at

------------------------------------------------- MELTING POINT AND BOILING POINT OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT The melting point (MP) and the boiling point (BP) are probably the most widely used physical constant in the field of science. Determining the boiling point and the melting point of a compound helps you to characterize an unknown solid in a quick‚ easy and cheap way. The temperature at which a compound turns from a solid state to a liquid state is known to be the

How much would you pay for an organic--being maintained with extra care‚ and containing very little traces of pesticides-- food source that may not have more nutritional values‚ rather than conventional food? Some experts have found that the difference regarding the nutritional values in organic and conventional food is slim to none. This gives no way for the vast differences in prices for both categories. Organic foods are not worthwhile because of the unknown truancy of the product‚ as well as

The experiment: Classification tests on Organic Compounds‚ allows the students to be familiarized with different classification tests used for identifying the different classes of organic compounds; examine unknown compounds using appropriate tests; and identify functional group of an organic compound based on the tests performed. Several organic compounds with different functional groups were tested to identify the functional groups present in the compound. n-heptane‚ pentene‚ benzene‚ heptanol

refractive index were measured for unknown liquid #16. The infrared (IR) spectrum of the compound was also taken. Based on the data collected‚ it was determined that the compound was likely to be salicylaldehyde. Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to determine the identity of an unknown organic liquid by measuring some of its physical properties. The properties were then compared to those of known compound to make an identification. The properties determined included density‚ boiling point
