Isoborneol Lab Report
The objective for the experiment was to perform a reduction reaction on the ketone group of camphor to the OH group on isoborneol. In order to successfully synthesis the reactant to the product, NaBH4 was used as the main reagent to reduce the carbonyl double bond. One believes the formation of isoborneol was successfully due to the product’s percent yield, IR, and melting point. During the lab, .077 grams of isoborneol was yielded from the camphor reduction. In result, .077 g compared to an theoretical yield of .102 g equaled an overall 75% percentage yield. Considering the product yield was only a quarter shy of a 100% yield, provides strong evidence for the efficiency of reducing camphor successfully. For the IR of isoborneol, the peaks

    9-Fluorenone Lab Report

    In this experiment a ketone, 9-fluorenone is reduced to and alcohol. The are two possible ways by which this reduction can occur. One is by a catalytic hydrogenation, this uses a catalyst such as palladium or nickel, hydrogen gas, and heat/pressure. This can reduced an alkane to alkene. This catalytic process is preferred in industrial practices because the cost is low in the long run and more importantly there is little to no waste expense. However, hydrogen gas is dangerous due to being very flammable/combustible. Therefore, a reducing agent will be used in this experiment instead. There are multiple types of reducing agents that reduce different types of functional groups and thus selection of the proper reducing agent is crucial.…

    INTRODUCTION There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from the knowing the causative agent of a disease to knowing the correct microorganism in order to make antibiotics. This study was done by applying the following methods; OF Glucose, Indole Production, and Malonate Utilization test for the identification of an unknown bacterium. The methods will assist in determining the unknown bacterium found in a 55 year old male that was passing blood and mucous in his stool. The patient had no pain but mild discomfort during bowel movements. The doctor noted inflammation of the lining of the rectum. The doctor removed a tissue sample for examination and referred the patient to a gastroenterologist for a barium xray and colonoscopy. While utilizing the methods stated above, the bacterium found was a facultative anaerobe due to the Gram Negative Rods, fermentation, and the production of indole. The specific Gram Negative Enteric Bacilli was Shigella dysenteriae. There are many reasons for knowing how to control bacterial growth as well as such as antimicrobial drugs, which assist the body’s defenses against pathogens. Microorganisms are capable of causing infection or spoilage. Controlling bacterial growth is important in poultry farm businesses that use equipment to decontaminate processing plant fluids before disposal. During quality control and safety evaluations, bacteria growth that needs to be controlled can be found. While controlling bacterial growth, clusters of Gram Positive Cocci were found. It was found some ways to control bacterial growth were disinfection, sterilization, antisepsis, sanitization, moist and dry heat, filtration, and radiation; just to name a few. The specific method used for control depends on various circumstances.…

    Isopentyl Acetate Lab Report

    The percent yield of the isopentyl acetate was 74.3% and this low percent yield could have occurred due to some amount of gas escaping from reflux apparatus’ top or apparatus was not fully closed so that some of the heat escaped and did not proceed the reaction well, leaving reagents. Another source of error could be that some of the organic layer could have been transferred along with the aqueous layer when the aqueous layer was getting separated from the organic layer by a pipette. One of the methods that favors the formation of an ester can be made by adding excess acetic acid and another method is conducting Fischer esterification, which water will be removed to form the ester. There are several ways to have more isopentyl acetate.…

    The findings of this experiment indicate the hypothesis to be partially correct and partially incorrect. As was predicted, the experimental results did support the concept that as the carbon number increased so would the energy level. When comparing the energy levels of other isomers to straight chain alcohols, the graph shows the first part of the trend line for the other isomers to have a higher energy, while the less steep trend gradient means this switches over between 3 and 4 carbon, indicating that isomers with a carbon atom number greater than that will have increasingly lower enthalpy levels. This variance in results when performed under near identical experimental conditions, suggests that energy produced during the combustion reactions…

    Sudan 1

    Amines are compounds composed of nitrogen atoms bearing alkyl or aromatic compounds. Amines undergo interesting reactions, one of which is with the reaction with nitrous acid producing an azo dye. In this study, the experiment focused on synthesizing an observing the physical properties of Sudan-1. Sudan-1 is of the most common dyes found in waxes, oils and in some food ingredients specifically curry and chilli powder. Furthermore, this study aimed to understand the mechanism behind the synthesis of 1-phenylazo-2-naphtol. To be able to synthesize Sudan-1, preparation of phenyldiazonium chloride solution and β- naphthol solution were done. Ingrain dyeing was also done in this experiment. The synthesis of Sudan-1 has a two-step reaction – diazotization and coupling reactions. Diazotization is the formation of diazonium salt, meanwhile, the coupling reaction took place when an activated aromatic compound, β-naphtol was reacted with the diazonium salt, benzene diazonium chloride, to form the azo compound known as the 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol. As a result, an orange-red precipitate was formed after series of reaction. Hence, all the said objectives in this experiment were achieved.…
