Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to see how given amounts of sodium bicarbonate reacts with acetic acid and see how it creates different amounts of new compounds. Procedure: In this lab‚ we were going to be reacting 12.5g sodium bicarbonate with 7.4mL acetic acid. Before we began‚ we turned on the hot plate to a medium level‚ allowing it time to heat up. While the plate was heating‚ we gathered 1 1/4g sodium bicarbonate onto the balance. Next‚ we measured 7.4mL acetic acid by pouring it into

Gracen Seiler April 7th‚ 2015 Section- 109 Investigating Stoichiometry with Sodium Salts of Carbonic Acid Introduction- This experiment is intended to help find a better understanding of chemical stoichiometry through titrations of NaHCO3 and NA2CO3 with HCl. A chemical reaction is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance‚ as opposed to a change in physical form in a nuclear reaction. Titration is when a measured amount of

Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to produce isopentyl acetate‚ banana oil. Acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol were used to synthesize isopentyl acetate. The techniques used for the separation and purification of isopentyl acetate were reflux‚ liquid-liquid extraction‚ neutralization and distillation. The identification of isopentyl acetate was based on boiling points and an infrared spectrum. This experiment resulted in a 11.68% yield. The reactants

Institute Introduction The Consulting Chemists Institute was contracted by a local food manufacturer to determine if sodium benzoate‚ a common food preservative‚ undergoes significant chemical changes at the pH level encountered in the acidic environment of the stomach. Experimental Method Sodium benzoate was prepared by addition of an equimolar amount of aqueous sodium hydroxide (3 M‚ ~ 20 ml) to a benzoic acid (1.256 g‚ 10.3 mmol) /water mixture (10 ml). Benzoic acid is insoluble in water

Preparation of an Acetic Acid Ester Abstract: 14.1 g of octyl acetate were synthesized from the esterification process using 20.0 ml of acetic acid and 17.9 g of n-octanol. The theoretical yield was 23.8 g of octyl acetate. The percent yield was 59.2%. The purification of the final ester was confirmed by boiling point (186-199°C) and infrared index (nD=1.419). It was a colorless liquid that had a slight fragrance of orange and indescribable chemicals. The Infrared spectra confirmed ester

and it had a banana smell. Introduction Artificial flavoring is commonly used in the food that we eat today. For example‚ fruit flavoring is a chemical mixture that mimics a natural flavor as that of banana flavor from the synthesis of isoamyl acetate. Ester is the functional group‚ which is responsible for the distinctive odor and taste that artificial fruit flavoring has. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids. A carboxylic acid contains the –COOH group‚ and in an ester the hydrogen in this
