Introduction The production of acetone and butanol by means of solvent-producing strains of Clostridium spp. was one of the first large-scale industrial fermentation processes to be developed‚and during the first part of this century it ranked second in importance only to ethanol fermentation. The reason for the almost total demise of this fermentation in the early 1960s was the inability of the fermentation process to compete economically with the chemical synthesis of solvents. However‚ interest

BOILING AND CONDENSATION BOILING • Phase change phenomenon where in transformation of liquid to vapour occurs at the saturation temperature of the fluid. It occurs at a solid/liquid interface due to convection heat transfer from the solid and usually occurs at surface temperatures higher than the saturation temperature of the fluid Agitation of fluid by vapor bubbles provides large convection coefficients Modified Newton’s law of cooling qs’’ h Ts Tsat Te • • • BOILING – CLASSIFICATON

Melting Point Determination and Thermometer Calibration Lab Background: The melting point of a substance‚ a solid in this case‚ signifies the temperature at which the first crystal starts to melt until the temperature at which the last crystal disappears is reached. That being said‚ melting points are expressed in ranges‚ am organic compound will have a sharp range depending on the purity of the compound. Impurity of an organic substance will register an abnormal melting point based on its

Discussion: In this experiment‚ 1-butanol or 2-butanol will be converted to the corresponding alkyl bromide with HBR‚ while using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The sulfuric acid will accelerate

Discussion: For this experiment our primary goal was to observe and note the reaction of butanols with hydrobromic acid. Before the lab began we discussed and proposed mechanisms. (see “Mechanisms”) To begin this experiment we calculated how much of each material we were going to be using‚ and the numbers we chose to use differed from our reference text slightly. We used 6.5 mL of our assigned butanol and only 4 mL of sulfuric acid. Going back to our reaction mechanisms‚ we were looking at SN1

the freezing point depression of a known amount in an aqueous solution. Freezing point depression is a colligative property of solutions. There are three other properties‚ which are boiling point elevation‚ vapor pressure depression‚ and osmotic pressure. Colligative properties of a solution depend on the amount of solute and solvent molecules and not the specific properties of the molecules. The temperature at which the solvent starts to freeze will be specified as the freezing point of the solution

Melting Points Elizabeth McGrail Organic Chemistry I 25 January 2013 ABSTRACT The objectives of this lab are‚ as follows; to understand what occurs at the molecular level when a substance melts; to understand the primary purpose of melting point data; to demonstrate the technique for obtaining the melting point of an organic substance; and to explain the effect of impurities on the melting point of a substance. Through the experimentation of three substances‚ tetracosane‚ 1-tetradecanol and

Exploring Boiling Points Introduction: Every substance has a unique set of properties that allow us to differentiate between them. These properties are classified as physical properties and chemical properties. Physical properties are those that can be determined or measured without changing the composition or identity of the substance. These properties include color‚ odor‚ taste‚ density‚ melting point‚ boiling point‚ conductivity‚ and hardness. Chemical properties tell us how the substance

(1) Evaporation: Surface Area: Evaporation is surface phenomenon.Greater is surface area greater is evaporation and vice versa.For example‚ sometimes a saucer is used if tea is to be cooled‚ quickly.This is because evaporation from the larger surface area of saucer is more than that of the smaller surface area of the tea cup. Temperature: At high temperature‚ rate of evaporation is high because at high temperature
