Methyl Red and Voges-Proskauer Test The Methyl Red test shows which bacteria are creating stable acids through mixed acid fermentation of glucose. This helps to identify enteric bacteria by examining how they metabolise glucose. Every enteric bacteria first produces pyruvic acid from metabolism of glucose. A methyl red positive enteric bacteria‚ uses the mixed acid pathway when breaking down pyruvic acid to different acids‚ like lactic‚ acetic‚ and formic acids. The Voges-Proskauer test determines

In this experiment‚ we used methyl benzoate from the last experiment with HNO3 and H2SO4 to synthesize methyl 3-nitrobenzoate. First we added methyl benzoate to 12 mL cooled conc. Sulfuric acid in a flask. In a separate flask‚ we made a solution of 4 mL conc. Sulfuric acid and 4 mL nitric acid and then added dropwise to the solution of methyl benzoate in an ice bath on a stir plate while maintaining the temperature of reaction between 5-15 °C. After the addition was complete we took the flask out

para-hydroxybenzoic acid‚ which is why they are collectively called parabens. However‚ in contrast to its cousins‚ ethylparaben‚ butylparaben‚ and propylparaben‚ methylparaben receives its specific name owing to the fact that its chemical structure contains the methyl alkyl group. Methylparaben is found in several fruits‚ in particular blueberries‚ where it acts as an antimicrobial agent. Methylparaben is an anti-fungal agent often used in a variety of cosmetics and personal-care products. Methylparaben is commonly

In this experiment the initial mass of the sodium carbonate used was 2.69g. In each titration‚ 3 drops of methyl orange was added to the sodium carbonate solution. With this information the titration can begin‚ and the results obtained are shown below: Titration readings Titration Rough 1 2 3 4 5 Initial 0.00 4.30 22.00 21.00 15.00 25.90 Final 4.30 22.00 38.60 37.60 32.60 42.20 Titre (cm3) 4.30 17.70 16.60 16.60 17.60 16.30 Therefore‚ the average titre would be calculated as follows;

The ester group‚ CO2CH3‚ of the starting material was electron withdrawing. 2. Draw the mechanism of the nitronium ion reaction with the methylbenzoate. 3. Why does water stop the reaction? Water stops the reaction because of Le Châtlier’s principle. Since water is a product‚ when more is added it drives
