Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to use sodium borohydride to reduce benzil. However‚ stereochemistry allows for five possible products. If only one carbonyl group is reduced during the reaction a racemic mixture of benzoin will be the product that is produced. After the first reduction a chiral center forms causing the second reduction to occur from only one side of the ketone. Depending on which side the second reduction take place there are three possible products including: a racemic

PR OCEDURE Before beginning‚ set up a data table similar to the Data Table: Experiment Results in the Lab Report Assistant section. This experiment will create a reaction of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride dihydrate to produce a precipitate of calcium carbonate. This formula is: Na2CO3(aq) + CaCl2. 2H2O(aq) à CaCO3(s) + 2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O 1. Put on your goggles. 2. Weigh out 1.0 g of CaCl2·2H2O and put it into the 100-mL beaker. Add 25 mL of distilled water and stir to form the calcium

Experiment 23: Synthesis of an Alkene April 5‚ 2013 Purpose: Results and Discussion The weight of our n-Butyl Bromide sample (actual yield) was 0.09g. The percent yield was found to be 4.38%. Only 0.09g of the theoretical 2.055g yield was obtained. The boiling point was 104° C‚ which is higher than the literature value of 101° C. This is due to the sample being somewhat impure‚ as impurities tend to increase boiling point. When IR spectroscopy was performed‚ there were no OH stretches

1.2 The original productivity of the line was 20 valves per hour. After the changes by John Goodale the line productivity was 22.5 valves per hour. The percent change was 12.5. We found the original productivity by dividing 160 valves produced by an 8-hour shift. The new line productivity was found by dividing 180 valves by an 8-hour shift. Calculating the difference between the new line productivity and the old-line productivity‚ and then dividing that number by the old-line productivity gave us

into account. The percent yields for the reactants in the equation are very far from 100% yield. In the case of water‚ the percent yield came out to be meaning there were at least 2 times to 4 times more water than there should be. The percent yield of oxygen came out to be ‚ around 2%‚ maybe higher considering uncertainty of what amount of oxygen there was suppose to be. The reaction was incomplete and had to be stopped because of time‚ which explains the very high percent yield of the water and

Copper(II) oxide will be synthesized from a known mass of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. Using the relationship of the balanced equation‚ and other stoichiometry relationships‚ you will calculate a theoretical yield of CuO‚ and your actual yield. You then will calculate a percent yield. Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate will be dissolved in water and reacted using a double replacement reaction with sodium hydroxide. The addition of hydroxide ions to a solution containing copper(II) ions results

Abstract: This experiment involved a reaction between anthracene and maleic anhydride via a Diels Alder reaction to yield 9‚ 10-dihydroanthracene-9‚10-α‚ β-succinic anhydride. Anthracene was the diene and maleic anhydride was the dienophile. The percent yield of the crude product was 69.03%. Following recrystallization of the product using xylene and vacuum filtration‚ a percent yield of 37.42% for the recrystallized product was collected. This was low due to the fact that some of the crude product

The purpose of this experiment is to use stoichiometry to predict how much of a product will be made in a precipitation reaction‚ to measure the reactants and products of the reaction correctly‚ to figure out the actual yield vs. the theoretical yield and to calculate the percent yield. Procedure First‚ 1.0 g of CaCl2·2H2O was put into a 100-mL beaker and 25 mL of distilled water was added. The two ingredients were stirred to create a calcium chloride solution. Then‚ stoichiometry was used to
