Pinacol was converted to pinacolone in the experiment at a 15.60% yield. A low percent yield was expected due to the experimental distillation and experimental separation of the two layers. Some pinacolone could have been trapped in the aqueous layer due to experimental error at separating via a pipet. The IR showed peaks at 2967‚ 2906‚ 2871‚ 2359‚ 2337‚ 2173‚ and 1989. The representative peaks in an IR of pinacolene are present between 3000 and 1700. The NMR when manipulated with a multiple of three

HYDROLYSIS OF ESTERS Anhydrous alkanoic acids react with alcohols in the presence of heated sulphuric acid (H2SO4) to form an ester and water. This process is known as esterification. This can be represented by the equation: Alkanoic acid + Alcohol (means reversible eq) ester + water Esters occur naturally in fruits and flowers and are described as oily‚ sweet smelling liquids. Vegetable oils and animal fats are esters of long-chain acids. Esters can undergo a range of reactions and

Hydrolysis of macromolecules Abstract: This lab was designed to teach the process of “hydrolysis”‚ a chemical reaction in which water is added to a polymer‚ breaking its bonds and forming smaller molecules. A hydrogen cation and a hydroxide anion (which once formed water) break apart and attach themselves to the ends of shorter polymers. Hydrolysis plays an important role in our lives and in the lives of every living thing on earth. Living organisms rely on digestion (hydrolysis) to convert

Hydrolysis Report Bile Esculin Hydrolysis‚ Starch Hydrolysis‚ UreaHydrolysis‚ Casein Hydrolysis Hydrolysis Report Introduction Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that uses water to split complex molecules. The water molecule H2O is split in the mechanism of hydrolysis‚ hydrogen cations and hydroxide anions. When the enzyme catalyzes its reaction inside the cell‚ it is referred to as intracellular hydrolases. When the enzymes secreted from the organism to catalyze reactions outside the cell‚ it

The Equilibrium Constant of an Ester Hydrolysis Reaction Abstract: The results from this experiment show four different Kc equilibrium constants of: .1522 for bottle two‚ .1853 for bottle three‚ .2094 for bottle four‚ and .2678 for bottle five. The average Kc value came out to be .2037 for all four bottles. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the equilibrium concentrations of an organic acid‚ an alcohol‚ an ester‚ and water in four bottles with varying measurements of each

The enzymatic hydrolysis of starch is carried out under milder conditions: lower temperatures (up to 1000C)‚ normal pressure‚ pH of the medium around 6 – 8. At the same time enzymatic hydrolysis is characterized by high reaction rate‚ high stability of the enzyme towards the denaturizing action of solvents‚ detergents‚ proteolytic enzymes‚ and a decrease in the viscosity of the reaction medium at higher temperatures‚ etc. Most often‚ enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out with the enzyme α-amylase from

Experiment 2: Starch Hydrolysis by Amylase Theoretical Background Polymers of carbohydrates are called polysaccharides‚ and make up some of the most important naturally occurring compounds [1]. They have thousands of monosaccharide units linked to each other by oxygen bridges. They include starch‚ glycogen‚ and cellulose‚ all three of which yield only glucose when completely hydrolyzed [2].

LABORATORY 3 The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of PNPP Hydrolysis Partners: Shelby Cruickshanks Alexis Williamson Introduction Most of the chemical reactions‚ which occur throughout our bodies‚ would proceed at a much slower rate of reaction without the presence of an enzyme. Cells can not wait for centuries for molecules to break down‚ if they waited for that‚ there would be no way for the organism to obtain energy or in turn survive. This is where biological catalyst comes into
