Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Eric Nelson Chem. 253-1: Deepali Rathore Lab 1: Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil 9-24-10 Purpose To create Isopentyl acetate with no more than 10% isopentyl alcohol and no more than 2% acidic acid in its composition. Theory Esters are a chemical functional group that usually forms by loosing a hydroxyl group and having it replaced with an alkoxy group with the loss of hydrogen. Esters are most commonly produced by taking a carboxylic acid‚ and

He finds out that other soldiers don’t associate with the

the Reactivity of Metals Aim: To prove the arrangements of the metals (Na‚ Ca‚ Mg‚ Al‚ Zn‚ Fe‚ Sn‚ Pb‚ Cu) according to the reactivity series. Background Information: By using various experiment‚ the reactivity of the metals can be deduced by the observation of the reaction. Hypothesis: Metals with low ionisation energy will lose their their electron more easily providing a more vicious and obvious result‚ as compared to the metals with higher ionisation energy‚ as the metals with lower ionisation

September 30‚ 2012 Experiment 5‚ Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction: This experiment prepares synthetic banana oil (isopentyl acetate) through the Fisher esterification method by combining isopentyl alcohol with acetic and sulfuric acid then heating the mixture under reflux for an hour. Esterification is a chemical reaction in which two reactants (an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. Observations and Data: When the sulfuric acid was combined
