Experiment #5: Esterification of Methyl Benzoate from Benzoic Acid October 28‚ 2010 Abstract: This experiment was conducted to synthesize methyl benzoate from benzoic acid and methanol by using the Fischer esterification method. Methanol (12.5ml) and Benzoic acid (4.9 grams) are heated together in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (1.5ml) until equilibrium is achieved. A reflux apparatus is set up for 1 hour to carry out the reaction at the boiling point of the solvent (Methanol

Results My unknown sample was number 18. I did three melting point trials‚ which resulted in a melting point range of approximately 120°C to 122°C‚ as shown in Table 1. I also did two mixed melting point trials using Benzoic Acid and Succinimide‚ as shown in Table 2. Percent recovery is 28.26 grams.

2.4.4. Toxicokinetics of MT: Both carbendazim and Methyl Thiophanate are classified as benzimidazole fungicides. Carbendazim is a major metabolite of benomyl with closely similar structural and toxicological characteristics. Methyl Thiophanate is also structurally related to both carbendazim and benomyl. Both benomyl and carbendazim are well absorbed after oral exposure (80–85%) but poorly absorbed after dermal exposure (1 or 2%) in rats‚ mice‚ dogs and hamsters. The major

Isolation‚ purification and characterization of alkaloid caffeine from tea leaves Date Submitted: September 3‚ 2014 Abstract Caffeine is one of the main constituents of tea leaves. In this experiment‚ 0.0039 g of pure caffeine was isolated from tea leaves. This was done through solid-liquid extraction followed by multiple liquid-liquid extraction. Then crude material obtained was then purified by sublimation. The isolated caffeine was subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) together
