Abstract Isopentyl acetate was synthesized in 44.9% yield through a reaction between isopentyl alcohol and acetic acid‚ with sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Identify and purity of the product was confirmed by infrared spectrum analysis of the product and the boiling point (141-142˚C) to the published value of (lit1142.5 ˚C). Procedure: Isopentyl alcohol (.893g)‚ acetic acid (2ml)‚ and concentrated sulfuric acid (4 drops) was added to a 5ml conical vial‚ and then attached to a reflux apparatus.

Ethyl Acetate – NaOH Reaction Kinetics Experiment Martin Novick Group 14‚ Chemical Engineering Laboratory Submitted to Prof. David B. Henthorn September 25‚ 2012 Summary The goal of this project was to determine the pre-exponential factor‚ k o ‚ the activation energy‚ E‚ and the reaction rate constants‚ k‚ of the saponification process of ethyl acetate using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 5 temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. Two trails were performed at temperatures 16‚ 18‚ 20‚ 22‚ and 24

INTRODUCTION Isopentyl acetate‚ "banana oil"‚ is a naturally occurring compound that possesses a distinctive odor. It is found in bananas‚ as well as many other organisms. This experiment attempts to produce isopentyl acetate by heating under reflux‚ which involves heating the mixture in a flask with a condenser placed vertically in the neck since any escaping vapours condense and run back into the flask‚ by combining isopentyl alcohol with acetic acid and an acid catalyst. The product was isolated

The objective of this experiment was the synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate using an esterification reaction between acetic acid and Isopentyl Alcohol‚ using a strong acid as a catalyst. The product was washed‚ and distilled. This approach is called Fisher esterification‚ whereby esters are produced by the esterification of a Carboxylic acid where it is heated with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. The ester produced had a banana flavor. The extraction of the

Introduction The Department of Homeland Security was formed through the Homeland Security Act of 2002. It is a cabinet level agency which comprise of 22 component agencies with about 240‚000 employees (Johnson‚ 2015). Creation of DHS was a resultant effect of September 11‚ 2001 terrorist attacks in U.S.A. hence became the largest restructuring of the federal government after President Harry Truman and Congress created the CIA‚ Defense Department‚ and National Security Council in the 1940s.

TITLE: Determination of Riboflavin by using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. ABSTRACT: The amount of Riboflavin in various brand of children multivitamins was determine by using UV-Vis spectroscopy instrument‚ the series of standard of riboflavin was prepared in order to determine the amount of the riboflavin in the sample of children multivitamins. The maximum amount of riboflavin was found in the Champs multivitamin that contains 0.1155 mg followed by Chewies 0.1131 mg and Scott’s 0.0672 mg. OBJECTIVES:
