The typical pH of vinegar ranges anywhere from 2 to 3.5‚ although shop-bought vinegar usually measures 2.4 www.wisegeek.com/what-is-vinegar.htm fig 1 In this study we will determine the amount of acid in a vinegar sample by using titration‚ a common technique in chemistry a typical shop brought vinegar has an acid percentage of 5% see fig 1. A titration is a technique where a solution of known

Hydrochloric-Acid Written By Kahlil Zione Date:02/02/05 Abstract: We observed the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid and recorded it in a table and learned wether the percentage of zinc is effected by the amounts of both substances added to the solution. Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the amount of zinc and hydrochloric acid will effect the percentage of the zinc in the out coming solution. We are reacting zinc metal with hydrochloric acid to produce

ETHERS Classification of Ethers: Symmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH2CH3 – diethyl ether Unsymmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are not identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH3 – ethyl methyl ether Physical Properties of Ethers: Ethers have much lower boiling points compared to alcohols of comparable MWs. BPs of ethers increases with increasing MW. BPs of isomeric ethers increase with increasing alkyl chain length. BPs of ethers are about the

Ninnah Gendill CHE 112-701 Formal Lab Report Analysis of Antacid Tablets I. Introduction An acid-base titration is a method of neutralizing strong acids. Unbeknownst to many‚ acid-base titrations occur on a daily basis. Our stomachs use acid to help us digest our food – approximately .155 hydrochloric acid (HCl) with a pH of 2-3. When too much of this acid is formed in the stomach‚ heartburn and other discomfort occurs. This is when people grab for their antacids;

Synthesis of benzilic acid from benzoin utilizing a multi-step reaction. Names: Arian Karim TA Name: Sayantan Das Lab Day & Time: Thursday 7:30-11:40 Lab Section #: Abstract The main purpose of this experiment was to synthesize benzilic acid from benzoin. This requires a multistep synthesis with benzyl as an intermediate product. The first step required HNO3 as an oxidizing agent and the second step required KOH and HCl. The percentage yields of benzil and benzilic acid were 59.5% and 21

Reaction between Tin and Nitric Acid Introduction: Finding the products made from the components of tin metal and nitric acid is the ultimate objective of this lab; the formula of the products will be found in the CRC handbook thereafter. Procedure: First‚ obtain a clean crucible‚ and heat it under a Bunsen burner until it is as hot as possible‚ about 15 minutes within a fume hood unit. The Bunsen burner will be used under the fume hood for the entire duration of the lab. Place a crucible on a

Acid-Base Titrations A Titration of Potassium Hydroxide Phthalate and Sodium Hydroxide Hanna Piper Department of Chemistry‚ SUNY College at Brockport‚ Brockport‚ NY 14420 Chemistry 205.06 Abstract Titrations are used to find the molarity of an unknown solution. A titration begins with an analyte and titrant being used to measure the unknown molarity of the analyte. In the following experiment‚ sodium hydroxide was used as the titrant and potassium hydroxide phthalate was used as the

Synthesis and Purification of Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA or Aspirin) Background Salicylic acid is a phenol as well as a carboxylic acid. It can therefore undergo two different types of esterification reactions‚ creating an ester either with the hydroxyl or with the acid. In the presence of acetic anhydride‚ acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin or ASA) is formed. Correspondingly‚ an excess of methanol will form methyl salicylate‚ which is also an analgesic. In this experiment‚ we shall use
