Q1:
To find the limiting reagent we need to find the number of moles of acetanilide, and the number of moles of Bromine.

Mass of Acetanilide used = 0.67g
Molar mass of Acetanilide = 135.16g/mol[1]
Number of moles of Acetanilide = (0.67g) / (135.16g/mol) = 0,005 mols

Volume of Bromine = 0.25ml
Density of Bromine = 3.103 g/ml[2]
Mass of Bromine = (0.25ml) X (3.103g/ml) = 0.78g
Molar mass of Bromine = 79.9g/mol[2]
Number of moles of bromine = (0.78g) / (79.9g/mol) = 0,0097 mols

Acetanilide is the limiting reagent

-To find the heoretical yield of p-bromoacetanilide:
Number of moles of p-bromoacetanilide =0,0049 mols
Molar

    Bromocholestan-3-1 Lab Report

    Mechanism 4 shows the debromination of 2α-bromocholestan-3-one to give 4. This mechanism which is similar to a Favoskii rearrangement, is likely to go via this path as other research has shown that there is often a by-product with this reaction. The by-product is cholest-4-en-3-one which requires the intermediate seen in the third molecule in the above mechanism. The intermediate is highly strained and with the presence of base a proton will be extracted which aids the collapse of the three membered ring. To gain the major product, 4, the H1 proton is removed, however it is very possible that the H4 proton is removed instead which would leave the minor product of cholest-4-en-3-one. Both products result in conjugation which will stabilise the molecule. The mechanism for this step is unlikely to go via a simple elimination as for an elimination the eliminated products must be trans to each other for facile leaving. As the bromine is equatorial in both the chair and the boat conformation the bromine is trans with neither of the hydrogens which shows this type of elimination is unlikely to occur. The other possibility is that the acidic hydrogen that is removed in the first step is not H4, but H2. This…

    Chem 1211K Lab Report

    The identification of the melting point of the organic acid was done to find another characteristic of the acid and to test the purity of the recrystallized pure acid. A 2-4 mm layer of unknown sample was placed into a capillary tube sealed on one end. Then the capillary tube was inserted into the side a Bibby Sterlin device. The plateau was set to 200°C on the melting point apparatus. Once the plateau temperature was reached, the sample was watched carefully. When the sample first began to melt and when it was fully melted was recorded. These numbers were the range of the melting point. A slow melting point of the unknown organic acid and a standard sample was completed next. A new plateau was set about 10°C lower than the observed melting point of the unknown sample. This time once the plateau was reached, the heating was no more than 1°C per minute. This gave a much more accurate read of both melting points. If the standard did not melt in the range listed on the label of the bottle, that meant the machine was not working properly. The standard sample and the unknown organic acid melted in their appropriate ranges.…

    4 Aminobenzenecarboxylic Acid Lab Report

    The final compound which I am going to look at is 4-aminobenzenecarboxylic acid. The compound is also known as 4-Aminobenzoic acid. The molecular and structural formula of the compound is C7H7NO2 which means that the compound consists of seven carbon atoms attached to seven hydrogen atoms along with one nitrogen atom and two carbon atoms attached as a carbon-oxygen double bond. The displayed formula for the 4-aminobenzenecarboxylic acid compound is shown and it shows the formula in a ring form therefore means that the compound is an aromatic compound. This is an aromatic compound because the compound consists of six carbons of benzene joined in a ring, having the planar geometry of a regular hexagon in which the distance between all of the C-C bonds are equal.…

    Hydrocinnamic Acid And N-Bromination Synthesis

    Hydrocinnamic acid underwent bromination using N-bromosuccinimide and AIBN. As one lab partner set up the reflux apparatus, the other measured the chemicals used in the lab experiment. 2.10 g of hydrocinnamic acid was used. It was observed as white and had a slight cinnamon smell. The amount of NBS was 2.49g and was measured in the fume hood. AIBN was measured at .030 g. 10 mL of acetic acid was also obtained. The reflux apparatus consisted of a 25 mL flask with a stir bar in a water bath. The chemicals were added in the following order: hydrocinnamic acid, NBS, AIBN, and acetic acid. After they were added, the temperature was turned up to come to a constant temperature around 80 C. A condenser was placed on top of the flask so if any evaporated…

    Nitrating Acetanilide and Methyl Benzoate: Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution

    The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction is the attack of a benzene ring on an electrophilic species resulting in the substitution of a proton with a functional group. The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction nitration is used to nitrate methyl benzoate and acetanilide with a nitronium ion. Crystallization was used to purify the product. The melting point was used to determine its purity and the regiochemistry of the products. The methyl benzoate reaction product, methyl nitrobenzoate, was determined to be meta-substituted and the acetanilide reaction product, nitroacetanilide, was determined to be para-substituted.…

    To Prepare N-Butyl Bromide Or N-Bromobutane

    The objective of this lab was to prepare n-butyl bromide or n-bromobutane, which is derived from an alcohol and an acid. In this case, n-butyl alcohol and sulfuric acid were the reagents. There were two methods of distillation that was involved in this experiment. The first was by reflux distillation, which is used to speed up a chemical reaction without having the reactants/ products evaporate or explode. Data Table 1 indicates the amount of each reagents that was prepared for the reflux apparatus. However, the reagents, sodium bromide, water, and butanol, were combined and cooled in an ice bath previously before transferred to the apparatus. Sulfuric acid was then slowly added to the cooled mixture, causing the solution to turn a dark yellow.…
