Butan-1-Ol Reaction Lab
The purpose of this lab was to test the reactions of butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, and 2-methylpropan-2-ol with hydrochloric acid and with potassium permanganate.
Hypothesis:
1. If butan-1-ol reacts with potassium permanganate then the aldehyde, butanal will be formed because the hydrogen from the carbon attached to the hydroxyl group will bond with the hydrogen from the hydroxyl group, and the oxygen from the oxidizing agent. This would allow the oxygen from the hydroxyl group to form a double bond with the carbon at the end of the chain.
2. If butan-2-ol reacts with potassium permanganate then the ketone, butan-2-one will be formed because the hydrogen atom from the carbon attached to the hydroxyl group will bond with the hydrogen from the hydroxyl

    Three Isomers Of Butanol Lab Report

    The reactivity of alcohols can be accounted for by their molecular structure – particularly by the attachment of their hydroxyl functional group. The isomers of butanol are used as examples of 1°,2° and 3° alcohols to examine this relationship. Each of the three isomers of butanol will be mixed with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The presence of an alkyl halide product is indicated by cloudiness of the mixture, as the halides are only slightly soluble in water. This test indicates that a halogenation reaction has taken place. Each alcohol is also separately mixed with dilute potassium permanganate solution, which…

    Chemical Reactions Lab

    Objectives: 1. To examine a variety of reactions including precipitation, acid-base, gas forming, and oxidation-reduction reactions. 2. To identify the products formed in these reactions and summarize the chemical changes in terms of balanced chemical equations and net ionic equations. 3. To identify the species being oxidized and reduced in oxidation-reduction reactions and determine which species is the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. Chemical equations represent what occurs in a chemical reaction. For example, the equation HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) describes an acid-base reaction, a type of exchange reaction in which the driving force is the formation of water. In an exchange reaction, the…

    This experiment was performed to demonstrate a cycle of chemical reactions involving copper. This lab will start with copper as a reactant in the first reaction through a series of five chemical forms of aqueous phase reactions and ending to calculate the percentage of recovered solid copper as a product in the last reaction of the experiment. The experiment resulted in a percent recovery from the cycle of copper reactions of an increase to 139%.…

    This aim of this experiment was to determine whether or not a chemical reaction occurred after the mixing of various chemicals. The evolution of a gas, the formation of precipitation, and the change of temperature or color are all indicative of a chemical reaction. It was assumed that a reaction did not take place if the mixture of chemicals exhibited none of these characteristics. Several precipitation, complex-ion formation, redox, and acid-base reactions were performed.…

    The Reactions and Properties or Butane and but-1-Ene Contrasted and Compared

    Butane, Butene and all isomers that come with them are considered to be alkanes and alkenes respectively. They differ from each other in the fact that Butane contains only single bonds, whereas Butene has both single and one double bond. Regardless of this difference in many situations the two molecules can display similar behaviours.…

    Synthesis And Characterization Of A Pesticide

    The American Chemical Society databases were investigated through Scifinder Scholar Version X to find any information about Butyl 2-Cyano-(3,5 dichloro-phenyl)-2-propenoate. There was no previous information present. Then, the microscale synthesis and characterization of Butyl 2-Cyano-(3,5 dichloro-phenyl)-2-propenoate was conducted with the base catalyzed Knoevengael condensation of the butyl cyanoacetate and corresponding aldehyde (gkharas/235_14F/235_14F_Lab_2.pdf) and analysis. The elemental analysis that was conducted through CHNX analysis, determined the actual composition of the Butyl 2-Cyano-(3,5 dichloro-phenyl)-2-propenoate that had been synthesised. A typical radical copolymerization reaction was then conducted, with the initiation by the radical initiator 1,1’-azobiscyclohexanecarbonitrile (ABCN). Then, the copolymer isolation procedure allowed the final product to be analyzed by IR, and provided ample evidence that determined that Butyl 2-Cyano-(3,5 dichloro-phenyl)-2-propenoate been successfully synthesized.…
