germinated seeds decreased with higher concentrations of fuel. In addition‚ biodiesel was also synthesized and its heat of combustion was found through the use of calorimetry. The heat capacity for the calorimeter was based on the heat of combustion for ethanol‚ which was then used to determine the heat of combustion for biodiesel. The average heat of combustion for biodiesel was ∆Hcomb= -13090.83 kJ/mole‚ as opposed to the theoretical value of -11496.6 kJ/mole‚ which resulted in a 13.9% difference. Furthermore

intermediate. The carbocation intermediate is then immediately detained by the weak nucleophile in a fast‚ second step to give the product. A solution of ethanol with some silver nitrate may be added provided the weak nucleophile – the alcohol. If an SN1 reaction occurs‚ the alkyl halide will dissociate to form a carbocation‚ which will then react with the ethanol to form an ether. Since there is not a strong nucleophile present‚ the cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond is encouraged by the formation and precipitation

was used to determine the rate constant k of the synthesis of benzoic acid at different temperatures and ethanol concentrations. The reaction was carried out in a batch reactor‚ where ethyl benzoate was added to a mixture of water‚ ethanol‚ and sodium hydroxide. The agitation speed of the batch reactor was kept set at 250 rpm and the temperature was varied between 40°C and 45°C. The ethanol concentrations used for this experiment were 0.25M and 0.35M. The concentration of the samples were found

VODKA MAKING PROCESS AND DISTILLING PROCESS Vodka is defined in the United States Standards of Identity as “neutral spirits so distilled‚ or so treated after distillation with charcoal or other materials‚ as to be without distinctive character‚ aroma‚ taste‚ or color.” As Vodka is a neutral spirit‚ it means that it can be obtained by the distillation of any product with fermentable carbohydrates on it‚ like grains (rye‚ corn or wheat) or products like potatoes‚ beets or sugar beets; even grapes

Fermentation and Distillation of Alcohol By Bhanupriya Chettiar 301 Group Members: Bhanupriya Chettiar‚ Rachel Min‚ Zoe Chandler‚ Bianca Main Aim The aim of the practical is to prepare ethanol by fermentation and to isolate it by fractional distillation. Introduction This practical’s aim is to prepare ethanol using two steps; fermentation and then fractional distillation. Many alcoholic drinks for example‚ brandy and whisky‚ are prepared using this method but to a larger scale. The first piece

The equation for the reaction between an acid RCOOH and an alcohol RẬᶦ can be the same or different; at equilibrium‚ the concentrations of both reactants and products are constant. In this experiment set up‚ the reaction between ethanoic acid and ethanol to produce ethyl ethanoate and water is a reversible reaction as shown by the following equation: CH₃COOH + CH₃CH₂OH↔CH₃COOCH₂CH₃ +H₂O The Equilibrium Law states that at equilibrium the ratio [CH₃COOCH₂CH₃][H₂O]/[CH₃COOH][CH₃CH₂OH] is constant
