    For this lab‚ 40.2 mL of canola oil were used as the initial volume for the production of synthesized biodiesel. Through the synthesis process‚ 31.307 grams of canola biodiesel was produced‚ which is a percentage yield of 85.714%. In order to get this percentage yield‚ the following calculations were made: 40.2 mL canola oil × 0.9073 g1 mL=36.5 g × 1 mol376.6 g=0.0416 moles canola oil From the prelab‚ for every 1 mole of oil‚ 3 moles of biodiesel are produced. 0.0416 mol oil × 3 mol biodiesel1

    Acetylsalicylic acid is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in aspirin and can be synthesized by the esterification reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst. An esterification reaction is when an acid is converted into an ester by combining with an alcohol and removing a water molecule. When heating the salicylic acid mixture in the warm water bath‚ the mixture should be removed from the bath within 8 minutes‚ to reduce the chance of the acetylsalicylic acid decomposing

    aspirin and oil of wintergreen | Introduction Organic compounds are those which contain carbon as well as a select other elements. An organic acid however‚ is an organic compound which contains acidic properties. An ester is an example of being a derivative of these organic acids. Esters can be prepared by the reaction of carboxylic acids and alcohols‚ with an inorganic acid used as a catalyst which is dubbed esterification. With o-hydrobenzoic acid‚ or salicylic acid‚ we are able

    10-fold dilution of this ionic iron solution and 5 drops of concentrated HNO3 was made. This solution served as the source of ionic Iron for the remainder of the lab and was labeled “stock ionic Iron solution.” Next‚ a 50-mL aqueous ionic Iron and FerroZine® complex solution was prepared by adding 5.00mL stock ionic Iron‚ 3-mL of acetic acid buffer‚ 2-mL of 5% hydroxylamine hydrochloride‚ allowing five minutes for hydroxylamine to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+‚ adding 2.5-mL of 0.01 M FerroZine® solution‚ and
