How The Theoretical Yield Of Isobutyl Acetate
The theoretical yield of isobutyl acetate was calculated to be 1.2545 grams. The actual yield was 0.3434 grams, as a result of 27.37 % yield. The percent yield was found low due the human’s errors, for example when we were transferred product from one glassware to another and also the process of extraction. Isobutyl acetate was clearly found alcoholic beverages, for example fruits, brandies and fortified

    Simple Distillation, Gas Chromatography: Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil

    We will be synthesizing synthetic banana oil, or otherwise known as isopentyl acetate. We will synthesize thie oil by combining isopentyl alcohol with acetic acid and sulfuric acid, and heating under reflux for one hour. After this time, we will separate and purify our product via washing with sodium bicarbonate (that separates compounds via solubility properties) and distilling (that purifies via different boiling point properties of the compounds). The reaction that occurs is modeled below:…

    Chem Lab

    There are millions of different organic compounds. Most of them are found in mixtures and in order to achieve a pure form they need to be separated, isolated, and purified. However, there are endless numbers of possible mixtures, which make it impossible to have a pre-designed procedure for every mixture. So chemists often have to make their own procedures. The purpose of this experiment was to prepare the student to the real world by them designing their own procedure which will help them understand the techniques of separation and purification better. The goal was to extract two of the components of the mixture that consisted of 50% benzoic acid, 40% benzoin, and 10% dibromobenzene. The benzoic acid was extracted by the use of base and extraction technique. Then a crystallization was performed in order to separate benzoin by the use of hexane a solvent, leaving the dibromobenzne in the mother liquor. The percent recovery for benzoic acid was 91.8% and 80.3% for the benzoin. The MP for benzoic acid was 119-122°C (1) and 135-136°C (2)for the benzoin. The high percent recovery and closeness of measured MP to the literature value indicate that the designed procedure was successful.…

    Acetaminophen: Crystal and Crude Product

    After first isolation of crude acetaminophen, 1.22g of light, brown shiny, fine Crestline solid emulated, which demonstrated slight less than 0.030g of product was lost from original 0.150g of p-aminophenol. The melting point range of crude acetaminophen ranged from 166.8-167.6°C, when compare to the known melting point of pure acetaminophen which ranged from 169.5-171°C, is slightly depressed. After decolonization of crude acetaminophen 0.060g of a very light tan/pink almost white, fine, shiny crystalline purified acetaminophen was recovered. Significant amount was lost; slightly over half was lost from 0.122g crude acetaminophen. Purified acetaminophen resulted in a much lighter coloration than the crude acetaminophen. Purified acetaminophen was slightly light tan/pink nearly white, whereas crude acetaminophen was light brown. After crystallization of acetaminophen, 0.028g of whiter, shiny, fine crystals resulted with no apparent odor. Slightly less than half of product was lost from 0.060g purified acetaminophen that was crystallized and about 0.122g was lost from the original 0.150g of p-aminophenol started with. The melting point range of the crystallized acetaminophen (166.1-169.8 °C when compared to the known melting point range of pure acetaminophen at 169.5-171°C is clearly depressed and elongated.…

    Extraction from nutmeg

    PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment was to illustrate the extraction of a solid natural product from its natural source by partition with the aid of an organic solvent. Extraction is the process by which a compound or mixtures of, is transferred by separation from one phase into another. In this case, the major triglyceride contains a single fatty acid identified as myristic acid. It is a substituent of the triglyceride called trimyristin, which embodies 20-25% of the dried weight of ground nutmeg we will eventually use in this experiment. The purpose of this lab is to extract trimyristin from nutmeg with the organic substance, diethyl ether, to evidently produce trimyristin with a small portion of myristicin (solid-liquid extraction). Also, it is good to know that due to impurity the best way purify the product of trimyristin is by recrystallization through hot acetone.…

    Synthesis Of Isopentyl Ester Synthesis

    The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl ester by an esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an ester. Carboxylic esters, like isopentyl acetate, are normally used to create artificial flavors. In the preparation of isopentyl acetate, esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol occurs. Esterification is an equilibrium shift to the product side using an excess of one of the starting components. In this experiment, the excess reagent is acetic acid because it is not expensive and can easily be removed for the reaction. The acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol are removed by extraction with sodium bicarbonate and water. The limiting reagent is isopentyl alcohol. A limiting reagent is completely consumed when…

    Alcohol and Depression

    Alcoholic beverages are the only consumable products in the U.S. that do not have nutrition labels. Consumers are being kept in the dark about serving size, alcoholic content, calories, carbohydrates, fats, protein, cholesterol and other nutrition information. Alcohol, specifically ethyl alcohol or ethanol, is produced by fermenting the starch or sugar in various fruits and grains. Alcoholic beverages produced by fermentation and distillation include beer that is usually about 4 to 6 % alcohol, wine that is usually 7 to 15% alcohol, and hard liquor which is about 45% alcohol.…

    Acetic Acid

    Acetic Acid

    Acetic acid [64-19-7], CH3COOH, is a corrosive organic acid having a sharp odor, burning taste, and pernicious blistering properties. It is found in ocean water, oilfield brines, rain, and at trace concentrations in many plant and animal liquids. It is central to all biological energy pathways. Fermentation of fruit and vegetable juices yields 2–12% acetic acid solutions, usually called vinegar (qv). Any sugar-containing sap or juice can be transformed by bacterial or fungal processes to dilute acetic acid. Theophrastos (272–287 BC) studied the utilization of acetic acid to make white lead and verdigris [52503-64-7]. Acetic acid was also well known to alchemists of the Renaissance. Andreas Libavius (AD 1540–1600) distinguished the properties of vinegar from those of icelike (glacial) acetic acid obtained by dry distillation of copper acetate or similar heavy metal acetates. Numerous attempts to prepare glacial acetic acid by distillation of vinegar proved to be in vain, however. Lavoisier believed he could distinguish acetic acid from acetous acid, the hypothetical acid of vinegar, which he thought was converted into acetic acid by oxidation. Following Lavoisier’s demise, Adet proved the essential identity of acetic acid and acetous acid, the latter being the monohydrate, and in 1847, Kolbe finally prepared acetic acid from the elements. Worldwide demand for acetic acid in 1999 was 2.8 Â 106 t (6.17 Â 109 lb). Estimated demand for 2003 is 3.1 Â 106 t (6.84 Â 109 lb) (1). Uses include the manufacture of vinyl acetate [108-05-4] and acetic anhydride [108-24-7]. Vinyl acetate is used to make latex emulsion resins for paints, adhesives, paper coatings, and textile finishing agents. Acetic anhydride is used in making cellulose acetate fibers, cigarette filter tow, and cellulosic plastics.…
