173 Sec # January 25‚ 2005 Experiment 36: Determination of the Structure of a Natural Product in Anise Oil Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to isolate the major component of anise oil and determine its identity and structure using melting point determination and IR spectroscopy. Introduction: The major component of anise oil has the chemical formula C10H12O. This compound is said to be hydrogen deficient‚ meaning that it contains less hydrogen atoms than would be needed for each of

Background The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its liquid. A solid compounds changes to a liquid when the molecules acquire enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together. A mixture melting point is useful in confirming and used to indentify an unknown compound‚ which we will be doing in this particular experiment. Purpose Measure the melting points of pure benzoic acid and pure mandelic acid. Determine the eutectic composition

freezing point or melting point of water is the temperature at which water changes phase from a liquid to a solid or vice versa. The freezing point describes the liquid to solid transition while the melting point is the temperature at which water goes from a solid (ice) to liquid water. In theory‚ the two temperatures would be the same‚ but liquids can be super cooled beyond their freezing points so that they don’t solidify until well below freezing point. Ordinarily the freezing point of water is

generally high melting points‚ are loose and flexible with their electrons‚ conduct electricity well‚ and have low solubility in water. Ionic compounds are generally crystals‚ have a high melting point‚ and usually have high solubility in water and conduct electricity well when dissolved in water. Covalent compounds have individual molecules‚ have a low melting point‚ and do not conduct electricity‚ and their solubility in water depends on the type of covalent bond. In the melting point test‚ the

drug. The identity of the drug was determined through melting point‚ percent recover‚ and Rf values. The comparable data for acetaminophen from the manufacturer is 500mg of active ingredient. After conducting the experiment-extraction‚ distillation‚ and evaporation- 451mg of active ingredient. This relates to a 68.1% recovery. The melting point was between 158 and 165 degrees Celsius‚ which is almost ten degrees lower than the published melting point of acetaminophen. After conducting a TLC plate‚ the

Melting Ice * Salt is routinely used to make icy roads and sidewalks safe in the winter. As soon as the salt comes in contact with the ice‚ the surface of the ice starts to melt. This only works‚ however‚ if the temperature outside is at or near freezing. If it is too cold outside‚ the ice itself becomes very dry and salt is not as effective in melting it. Salt Reduces Freezing Temperature of Water * Salt works by lowering the freezing temperature of water. Salt water needs to reach a colder

recrystallized to form a solid‚ clear‚ crystal- like product. The melting was taken from the recrystallized product to determine what had been obtained. The melting point was found to be 130.5°C-133.7°C. Concluding that the product formed from the addition of bromine was a mixture of the erythro-2‚ 3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid‚ which has a known melting point of 204°C‚ and threo-2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid‚ which has a known melting point of 95°C.

expected to compete with traditional petroleum-produced polymers. The production of Polyhydroxybutyrate is well known in the medical field as it is mainly used for surgical pins and internal suture due to its biocompatibility. It has a high melting point with about 175C‚ which makes the material compatible as containers with high temperature usage. These properties of being biodegradable meaning its products decompose naturally without surgery needed to remove‚ and biocompatible meaning the body

Unit C2‚ C2.2.3 Covalent structures 1. This drill contains an electric motor. The diagram below shows the main parts of an electric motor. The carbon contacts are made of graphite. Springs push the contacts against the copper ring. The contacts conduct electricity to the copper ring. The copper ring rotates rapidly but does not stick or become worn because the graphite is soft and slippery. Graphite has properties which are ideal for making the contacts in an electric motor.
