A carboxylic acid is an organic acid characterized by the presence of at least one carboxyl group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R-COOH‚ where R is some monovalent functional group. A carboxyl group (or carboxy) is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl (RR’C=O) and a hydroxyl (R-O-H)‚ which has the formula -C(=O)OH‚ usually written as -COOH or -CO2H. Carboxylic acids are Brønsted-Lowry acids because they are proton (H+) donors. They are the most common type of organic acid. Among

Extraction and Evaporation: Separating the Components of "Panacetin" Submitted- July 17‚ 2012 Introduction The purpose of this lab is to investigate the composition of a compound suspected to be Panacetin‚ a type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen‚ but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen‚ either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as

Abundance and Extraction of Metals 1. a Mineral - A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid‚ with a definite chemical composition‚ and an ordered atomic arrangement. b Ore - Deposit in the Earth of valuable metals contained in minerals. c Economic Natural Resource Deposit - This is a natural deposit of something that is economically viable to mine‚ refine and sell. Hence the deposit must be big enough to last for a large period of time‚ so that it will make enough money for the

Experiment #1: Separation of Acid‚ Base‚ and Neutral Compounds from a Solid Mixture by Liquid-Liquid Extraction Introduction Liquid-liquid extraction is a technique used to separate chemical substances in order to purify or identify the various components of a mixture. Flavors‚ spices‚ perfumes‚ and medicines are just some of the everyday things that are extracted from plants and other natural sources [1]. The basic principle used to carry out this separation is the mixing of two liquids that are

JUICE EXTRACTION After weighing‚ sugarcane is loaded by hand or crane onto a moving table. The table carries the cane into one or two sets of revolving knives‚ which chop the cane into chips in order to expose the tissue and open the cell structure‚ thus readying the material for efficient extraction of the juice. Frequently‚ knives are followed by a shredder‚ which breaks the chips into shreds for finer cane preparation. The chipped (and shredded) cane then goes through the crusher‚ a set of roller

group. The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction nitration is used to nitrate methyl benzoate and acetanilide with a nitronium ion. Crystallization was used to purify the product. The melting point was used to determine its purity and the regiochemistry of the products. The methyl benzoate reaction product‚ methyl nitrobenzoate‚ was determined to be meta-substituted and the acetanilide reaction product‚ nitroacetanilide‚ was determined to be para-substituted.

Extraction and Sublimation of Caffeine from Tea Leaves By: Ashley Barnes CH 236 – P8 Experiment 4 & 4.5 Due: 10/15/2014 Table 1. Table of Reagents Discussion The extraction yield refers to the percent of caffeine in the tea leaves at start of the extraction experiment. Tea leaves had 0.55 grams of mass per eight ounce serving. The weight of the extracted crude caffeine was 0.264 grams. Therefore‚ the extraction yield was 48%. This means that we pulled out almost half of the caffeine

DNA Extraction from Fruit 1. What was the purpose of adding liquid soap and salt in step #1 and how does NaCl contribute to maximum DNA extraction. The purpose of using soap was to destroy the membranes inside a kiwi cell. Soap helped with that because it dissolves the membranes easily. Salt or NaCl was used to remove proteins and carbohydrates. NaCl caused the proteins and carbohydrates to precipitate. 2. Why was it necessary to “mush” the kiwi by hand? If the step was omitted‚ what

structures and properties of amino acids know the groups of amino acid What are amino acids? Amino acids are molecules that when combined with each other proteins. Amino acids contain a central tetrahedral carbon atom (α-carbon) amine group‚ carboxyl group‚ R-side chain The R-side chain determines the different amino acids There are 20 common amino acids Amino acids can join via peptide bonds Several amino acids occur only rarely in proteins Some amino acids are not found in proteins 3D
