4. The reaction of the unknown with bromine gave a negative result meaning the solution did not turn clear, but rather, maintained an orangish brown color. This is interpreted to mean that bromine in not adding to either side of an alkene bond, so there is no C=C bond in the unknown compound.

The reaction of the dicarboxylic acid with bromine gave a positive result meaning that the solution turned clear as a result of bromine adding to both sided of the C=C bond. The dicarboxylic acid has a C=C bond.

Problems:

1. The carbonyl that is NOT incorporated into the ring structure has the greater IR stretching frequency. This is because the carbonyl incorporated into the ring structure shares some of its double bond character with the other double bond in the ring, giving it more single bond character. Thus, conjugated double bonds lower the stretching frequency of a carbonyl group by sharing the dipole character of the

    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.…

    The first step is to calibrate the colorimeter with0.20 M Fe(NO3)3and set the absorbance at 470 nm since it is known to keep an acidic solution throughout the entirety of the experiment. It was important to do this right at the beginning of the lab since the zeroed value of the acid was the calibration number for all of the other solutions. A total of seven solutions with different dilutions were used throughout the lab to conduct the equilibrium constant. The first step was adding 5 mL of 0.200 M Fe(NO3)3to each of the 5 test tubes. Once this was done, 0.00200 M NCS was added to the test tubes, each receiving a different amount; test tube one received 1 mL NCS-and with each test tube the amount of NCS-would increase by 1 mL, test tube 5 received 5 mL of NCS. . The next step was adding HNO3 to each test tube in different volumes; Test tube one received 10 mL of HNO3 and with each test tube the amount of HNO3 decreased by 1 mL, test tube five had no HNO3 added to it. The addition of these solutions formed five test tubes of different dilutions, but of equal volume, 10 mL each. After all of the previous trials had been completed the final step was to take each test tube and pour it into a different cuvette and measure the absorbance for each. Once the initial concentration was calculated of Fe3+, NCS and FeNCS2+ in molarity. The absorbency values were recorded and used to calculate the formation constant, K f The reference table containing volumes used in each solution is provided below…

    The data of the 10 hydrocarbon tubes and the 2 control tubes with bromine and dichloromethane in the two different conditions is listed below in Table 1. As a result, the hydrocarbon tubes in light reacted and lost the bromine color quicker than the tubes not in light. Not all of the hydrocarbons observed a full disappearance in the bromine color, but did observe a color change. The control tube had…

    There are twelve key principles of green chemistry that are used to evaluate how green a reaction may be. A green reaction prevents waste before it is created with little to no toxicity. Green experiments should be designed to maximize the starting materials into the final products while minimizing toxicity. Raw materials should be renewable and products should break down and not persist in the environment while reducing derivatives. All experiments should be performed in real time with use of catalysts while minimizing potential chemical accidents.…

    Link reaction The link reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix and its main function is to turn the pyruvate into acetate for the kerb cycle. During the link reaction the pyruvate molecule undergoes decarboxylation and dehydrogenation, the enzymes pyruvate decarboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase remove the carboxyl group (which becomes a carbon dioxide molecule) and removes the hydrogen atoms from the pyruvate molecule. The coenzyme NAD accepts the two hydrogen atoms and becomes reduced NADH2 and the coenzyme-A accepts the acetyl (from pyruvate) to become acetyl coenzyme A. The role of coenzyme-A is to transport the acetyl from the link reaction to Krebs cycle Kerb cycle…

    Observations: When first placed in the jar the original color of bromine was red-brown. As it began to diffuse its color changed from dark brown to a lighter brown until it becomes a yellow-like orange color. As it was diffusing liquid bromine changes its state to gaseous. With an odour given off smelling similar to household bleach. Even though the diffused gas had reached the top of the jar some amount of liquid bromine remained at the bottom of the container.…
