it is used to oxidize the benzoic acid as well as acting as a catalyst for the reaction. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a very strong oxidant which is able to react with many functional groups‚ such as secondary alcohols‚ 1‚2-diols‚ aldehydes‚ alkenes‚ oximes‚ sulfides and thiols. It is heated under a reflux‚ this (heating in a flask with a condenser placed vertically in it) prevents any aldehyde formed in the reaction escape and allow it to have time to be oxidized to carboxylic acid.

do this is to use a chemical test. There are multiple chemical tests that can be used‚ one of them being the bromine test. A bromine test is used to verify whether an OH group is present or not. Another test is used with KMNO4 to test whether and alkene is present or not. Using both chemical tests and infrared spectroscopy to analyze the substance it

form more stable carbocation intermediates than primary and secondary alcohols‚ tertiary alcohols are the most likely to follow the SN1 pathway. In SN1 reactions‚ the formation of a carbocation can lead to rearrangements. Also‚ elimination to form an alkene can occur. In this experiment‚ t-amyl alcohol (2-methyl-2-butanol) in the presence of concentrated HCl will undergo a substitution reaction to form t-amyl chloride. In order

Cyclohexene: Completely Decolorized Discussion: 1) Assuming the reactions of these hydrocarbons are typical of the classes of compounds which they belong what can you say about the relative relativities of the three classes? The Alkenes are the most reactive type of hydrocarbon as in both reactions ‚ they decolorized when bromine water was added‚ of which is usually brown‚ and when potassium

Experiment 8: Identification of an Adulterated Herb The purpose of this lab is to analyze the volatile oils of some herbs through TLC testing and then identify the adulterant in a sample. Unfortunately‚ we ran out of time to complete the lab; however‚ we were able to get through most of it‚ and were only missing the adulterant. The first step to identify our unknown samples was to create TLC plates that should results with each known compound and 95% hexane: 5% ethyl acetate‚ 90% hexane: 10%

hydrocarbon and cyclohexene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon due to the presence of double bond.Both hydrocarbons produce carbon dioxide and water during combustion test. When the oxygen is limited‚ the product will be carbon monoxide and water. The alkenes are highly flammable and burn readily in air‚ forming carbon dioxide and water. In this experiment‚ the combustion of cyclohexene burns in an orange flame and produces relatively high amount of black soot. The black soot produced is actually carbon

Preliminary Test and Solubility Classification of Organic Compound Keene Louise Topacio‚ Christopher Jay Robidillo Abstract The experiment focuses on how to classify organic compounds by its functional groups. It is done by preliminary test and with the solubility test. Preliminary test used two known compounds also the unknowns. Physical state‚ color‚ odor‚ and ignition test were noted. The known compounds are inorganic and organic compounds. A comparison is made from the observation in the unknown
