solubility/miscibility behavior observed in procedure A-D. For part A of the procedure we worked with the solubility of solid compounds in various solvents. The three solid compounds that were worked with during this procedure were benzophenone‚ malonic acid‚ and biphenyl. These three solids were then mixed with water (highly polar)‚ methyl alcohol (intermediately polar)‚ and hexanes (nonpolar). When benzophenone is mixed with water the results turned out to be insoluble because benzophenone is a pure

Taylor Durham Nutrition 101 Mr. Oropallo Lab Report #2: Fat Extraction From Food What is a triglyceride? Draw its structure. A molecule that contains three fatty acids attached at the oxygen atoms of glycerol. What are the differences between saturated and unsaturated fats? Drawn an example of each. If all bonds are single‚ the fatty acid molecule is saturated. If there is a double bond among the carbon atoms‚ the fatty acid molecule is unsaturated. What form does each of these fats take at

butanols with hydrobromic acid. Before the lab began we discussed and proposed mechanisms. (see “Mechanisms”) To begin this experiment we calculated how much of each material we were going to be using‚ and the numbers we chose to use differed from our reference text slightly. We used 6.5 mL of our assigned butanol and only 4 mL of sulfuric acid. Going back to our reaction mechanisms‚ we were looking at SN1 and SN2 reactions‚ so we of course used the hydrobromic acid as our acid catalyst which would be

How to make pencils? Background One of the oldest and most widely used writing utensils‚ the pencil originated in pre-historic times when chalky rocks and charred sticks were used to draw on surfaces as varied as animal hides and cave walls. The Greeks and Romans used flat pieces of lead to draw faint lines on papyrus‚ but it was not until the late 1400s that the earliest direct ancestor of today’s pencil was developed. About one hundred years later graphite‚ a common mineral occurring

The purpose of this lab was for students to familiarize and perfect the simple distillation method to produce 4-Methylcyclohexene and to gain experience using an IR spectroscopy to characterize the product of the reaction in favor of equilibrium. B. Results and Discussion: C. Experimental: 24 mL of 4-methylcyclohexanol‚ 5mL of phosphoric acid‚ and 1mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added to a 250 mL round bottom flask and mixed thoroughly with a magnetic stirrer. A simple distillation

The First Experience for a Wisdom Tooth Extraction Just a year ago‚ I got my wisdom tooth pulled for the first time. My wisdom tooth had started to ache on last New Year ‘s day. Normally‚ I celebrate New Year’s day with special food‚ but I was no time for that because of an excruciating pain. Unfortunately‚ my husband and I didn’t know a good doctor in this city‚ and we couldn’t contact friend who knows well regional information because it was a big holiday! At the long time‚ I found a dentist

Experiment 28: The reaction of Butanols with Hydrobromic Acid Pre-lab Objective: The objective of this experiment is to synthesize 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane with different catalyst:substrate ratios to determine which ratio is the most economically favorable. Discussion: In this experiment‚ 1-butanol or 2-butanol will be converted to the corresponding alkyl bromide with HBR‚ while using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The sulfuric acid will accelerate the chemical reaction with being consumed

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Introduction Caffeine is soluble in boiling water and as a result it is easily extracted from tea bags by steeping in hot water. This process leaves behind the water insoluble portions of the tea bag. However‚ water extracts more than just caffeine‚ so a final separation is done with an organic solvent that will dissolve primarily caffeine. The organic solvent used in this experiment is Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂). Dichloromethane is less polar than water

INTRODUCTION: Carboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group‚ -COOH. This acid acts as a weak acid‚ which can react with a strong base. Carboxylic acids form hydrogen bonds with many water molecules and are more soluble with one to four carbon atoms. Also‚ it may have an R group that consist of hydrogen or an alkyl group that changes its water solubility. Carboxylic acids with low molecular weight have odor at room temperature and higher molecular weight

from the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid in a process called Fischer esterification (Fischer-Speier esterification). The name‚ banana oil‚ is due to banana odour released by formation of Isopentyl acetate. The alcohol and the carboxylic acid used in this experiment are Isopentyl alcohol and Glacial Acetic Acid. Both the overall reaction of Fischer esterification and the specific Fischer esterification reaction that was carried out in this lab is shown in figure 1. It worth mentioning that
