    #04: Synthesis of Salicylic Acid from Wintergreen Oil I. Introduction and Purpose Until 1874 commercial salicylic acid was synthesized entirely from natural wintergreen oil. In this experiment the salicylic acid is reproduced using methyl salicylate‚ the major constituent of wintergreen oil and later compared to salicylic acid made from benzene. The purpose of this lab is to determine the difference between salicylic acid made from methyl salicylate and salicylic acid made from benzene comparing

    Experiment 1 :Alkanes&Alkenes:Combustion and action of sulphuric acid. Introduction In the study of organic chemistry‚ the organic compounds which are made up of carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. They can be gases as‚ propane‚ they can be liquids‚ for example‚ benzene‚ or they can be low-melting solids and waxes‚ for example‚ polystyrene. There are four classifications of hydrocarbons; saturated hydrocarbons or alkanes‚ unsaturated hydrocarbons or alkenes and alkynes‚ cycloalkanes‚ and

    concentrain of sulphuric acid Aim The point of this investigation is to find out the concentration of the sulphuric acid in my experiment. I will do this by titrating the sulphuric acid with sodium carbonate. H2SO4 + Na2CO3 à Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2 Acid + Alkali à Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide Ratio of sulphuric acid to sodium carbonate: H2SO4 : Na2CO3 1 : 1 Concentration of sulphuric acid: H2SO4 is approximately 0.05 - 0.15 moldm-3 The average concentration of the sulphuric acid is: 0.05 + 0.15 =

    Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 1 show the crystallisation reaction when the saturated sodium chloride solution was added to the cool reaction mixture. The salt of p-Toluenesulphonic acid started forming. Figure 2 show the wet crystal after the precipitated salt was being filtered by suction. The wet crystal was light purple in colour. Figure 3 show the end product after drying the wet crystal at 105°C in the drying cabinet (oven)

    How does acid precipitation affect marble and limestone buildings? Acid rain is a type of precipitation that is characterised by containing contaminating substances such as sulphuric and nitric acid‚ both of which have harmful effects on the environment. Both marble and limestone are extremely vulnerable to the damages done by acid rain due to their components. These materials contain calcite‚ a substance that easily reacts and dissolves with acid. Acid rain is the cause of the destruction of many

    A Swiss chemist named Dr. Albert Hoffman first produced lysergic acid Diethylmide –or best known as LSD in 1938 (Dye‚ 1992‚ p. 2). Hoffman discovered the drug while trying to synthesize a new drug for the treatment of headaches. He obtained the lysergic acid from the parasitic fungus that grows on rye plants known as ergot. From the lysergic acid‚ he synthesized the compound LSD. He used the compound to test for its pain killing properties on laboratory animals. Being that appeared totally ineffective

    given out in neutralizing sodium hydroxide  (NaOH) using different concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid.  Background Information:-  Substances that neutralize acids are called alkalis. An acid is a  substance that forms hydrogen ions (H+ ) when placed in water. It can  also be described as a proton donor as it provides H+ ions. An  example of an acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl)‚ Sulphuric acid (H2SO4)  etc. An alkali is a soluble base and forms hydroxyl ions (OH-) when  placed in water. It
