    The results of the experiment show a percent yield of 34.34% for the first trial (Part A), and a percent yield of 84.0% for the second trial (Part B). The methods for both trials were generally the same, so the large difference is attributed to the fact that the beaker broke before the gravity-filtering step in the first trial. The beaker was attempted to be picked up by the beaker tongs, but as the hot solution was being poured into the filter, the beaker slipped out of the beaker tongs and shattered, leaving some of the product unfiltered and thus not accounted for in the final product. Although the methods were generally similar in both steps, the gravity filtration step was skipped over in the second trial, which may have accounted for the missing 16% in trial 2, but may have also accounted for the overall relatively high percent yield for this trial. Luckily, the actual melting point of benzoic acid fit within the recorded average…

    Lab1: Effect of Ph on Food Preservatives

    Sodium Benzoate is a common food preservative used in food products such as jams and jellies, soft drinks, pickles, condiments etc and in tinned products in the market. This experiment aimed to determine whether benzoic acid is formed from it’s superior soluble form sodium benzoate in stomach acid, which is simulated by HCl (pH=2). It has been seen that at a low optimum pH, i.e. in the presence of sufficient hydrochloric acid, sufficient benzoic acid is yielded. The percentage yield is determined from the calculations of the theoretical (stoichiometric) calculations and the actual yield from the reaction. Also throughout the experiment, some basic laboratory operations such as measuring mass and volume, separating solids from liquids by vacuum filtration and drying solids are familiarized with.…

    The Effect of Ph on a Food Preservative

    To study the affect of pH on a food preservative. Sodium benzoate changed into benzoic acid once the 3 M of HCl was added making it a pH of 2, making the solution acidic. The hydronium ion concentration was high enough that it gave a yield of benzoic acid, which, is very insoluble in water and it formed a precipitate in the solution. The end percent yield was 132.352%, this was due to a few flaws in the experiment. During the filtration process of the experiment the funnel was not working properly and not all the…

    Preparation of Bromotriphenylmethane

    Abstract The structure of a major component of star anise oil was derived by analyzing its IR spectroscopy melting point of after oxidation and purification. From the evidence obtained, it was concluded that the exact structured should be p-methoxybenzoic acid. Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the structure of the major component of star anise oil. It is already known that this component has a molecular formula C10H12O. This molecular formula equates to an IHD of 5. It is evident, by calculating the IHD, that this compound contains a benzene ring. By heating anisene with hydroiodic acid the following reaction occurs: [rxn 1] The resultant of a phenol indicates that anisene is, in fact, an aryl methyl ether with the formula C9H9OCH3. Since all these facts have been established about the structure of anisene, what is to be determined from this experiment is the structure of the unsaturated side chain and its location. In order to do this, anisene will first be oxidized with KMNO4 so as to then identify the oxidation product and establish the positioning of the side chain. The reaction is as follows: Finally purification of the structure of the unknown oxidized component, its structure shall be determined by obtaining the melting point and by means of IR spectroscopy of the original substance. Experimental The experiment was carried out following the procedure described in Experiment 24 of the assigned lab book (Lehman 188-195) with some deviation: When it was time to use the condenser the first time around, the tubes for the water to circulate were not attached, causing the solvent to evaporate. Consequently, more solvent had to be added and the experiment continued normally. Calculations The weight of the total final product is equal to the weight of the watch glass and the final product minus the weight of the watch glass. Wt of Final product = (wt of watch glass and product)-(wt…

    Identification of an Unknown Solid by Melting Point

    Assessment of sample purity for a known substance. By comparing observed range for an actual sample to the known range for a pure sample, I can tell whether my actual sample is pure or contaminated (the range is depressed and broadened). So, In part A, melting point of benzoic acid was observed in range 122 to 125 ¨¬C. By comparing melting point of benzoic acid (121 ¨¬C) with result from part A, the result is little higher than the pure melting point. So I can tell it is little contaminated.…
