steam distillation we can isolate eugenol at lower temperature than its usual boiling point of 248 degree Celsius. Eugenol belongs to a category called essential oil. Many of these compounds are used as flavoring and perfumes and in the past were considered the essence of plant from which they were derived. Structure of eugenol (clove oil) and eugenol acetate: Reagents: Eugenol‚ CH2Cl2‚ Br2‚ FeCl3‚ Methanol Procedure: Co-distillation We first combine 15 mL of water with 1 g of crushed

Isolation of Essential Oils by Steam Distillation Procedure Part A Apparatus 1.) Using a 20- or 25-mL round-bottom flask (for distillation) and a 10-mL round-bottom flask (for collection) assemble a distillation apparatus 2.) Use an aluminum block to heat and insert a water condenser 3.) The collection flask may be immersed in ice to ensure condensation of the distillate Preparing the Spice 1.)

Purpose of this experiment is to synthesis Banana oil by mixture of the isopentyl alcohol and acetic acid . Banana oil smells like fruit mostly it smells like banana. This reasons that this compound uses in different perfume products as well as the gums for the flavor. The reaction that takes place in this experiment is a esterification. In this experiment‚ the carboxyl group of the acetic acid joins with the hydroxyl group of the isopently alcohol‚ catalyzed by the presence of sulfuric acid

Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) which in turn placed an embargo on oil exports upon the United States because of the aid and arms that the United States was supplying Israel. This embargo caused fuel shortages such as gasoline which in turn caused fuel prices to soar throughout much of the 1970s. This was further amplified due to the decline of domestic oil production and the reliance on imported oil from abroad. It only took three months for the embargo to cause massive change in

Introduction An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils‚ ethereal oils or aetherolea‚ or simply as the "oil of" the plant from which they were extracted‚ such as oil of clove. Volatile oils are the odorous and volatile products of various plant and animal species. As they have a tendency to undergo evaporation on being exposed to the air even at an ambient temperature‚ they are invariably termed

occurs today is oil spills. The first major oil spill happened during World War II on the East Coast of the United States and spilled about 590‚000 tons of oil. The most recent oil spill happened last year in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico and about 190‚120‚055 gallons of oil leaked into the Gulf. Oil spills have affected our marine life‚ seafood industry‚ houses‚ health‚ and fossil fuels. Our world will never be the same after these horrifying spills that are destroying our environment.
