Raquel Johnson October 19‚ 2014 Solids: Recrystallization and Melting Points Organic Chemistry 2423 Lab Report: Recrystallization Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to purify an unknown compound by recrystallization. Taking an unknown compound and identifying it by purifying it from its impurities through the use of hot gravity filtration. Then to determine the unknown you were to take the melting point. An unknown compound was recrystallized from hot water to produce 0.99 grams (67% recovery)

Session 1: In this lab‚ we will achieve a simple Friedel-Crafts alkylation of anthracene. The choice of anthracene as an aromatic substrate stems from two considerations. First‚ there is a question of regioselectivity. Second‚ anthracene and its derivatives are highly visible under UV light. Session 2: In this lab‚ we will complete a partial conversion of 9-acetylanthracene using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA). We will also determine by NMR‚ the regiochemistry of the reaction. B.

Carotenoid Pigments from Spinach Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to isolate ß-carotene‚ chlorophyll-A‚ and chlorophyll-B from spinach using column chromatography. Spinach was dehydrated using ethanol‚ and the pigments were extracted with dichloromethane. The spinach extracts were dried using CaCl2. Then‚ the solid pigments were run through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane. The polar absorbent material in the column separated the different pigments by allowing the least polar molecules

Cell) is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. It consists of two separate half-cells. A half-cell is composed of an electrode (a strip of metal‚ M) within a solution containing Mn+ ions in which M is any arbitrary metal. The two half cells are linked together by a wire running from one electrode to the other. A salt bridge also connects to the half cells. Through electrochemistry‚ these reactions are reacting upon metal surfaces‚ or electrodes. An oxidation-reduction

The resulting para-aminophenol is reacted with acetic anhydride to produce paracetamol. The reactions are summarized as shown below: Process using Paranitrochlorobenzene as a starting raw material Paranitrochlorobenzene is converted to paranitrophenol by means of caustic fusion with caustic soda in an autoclave; paranitrophenol thus obtained is further reduced to paraminophenol by using iron powder. Para-aminophenol crystallises out from the mother liquid which is subsequently centrifuged

Enzymes are catalytic proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. our body cells depend highly on enzymes to complete many important functions‚ such as digestion and metabolism. Enzymes are selective‚ in which each enzyme can only speed up a specific reaction. There are molecules that enzymes work with called substrates. substrate bind to an area of an enzyme called active site. There is specificity between the enzyme and substrate that react with

the initial concentration of reactants‚ since it is a first order reaction. This is clearly depicted in Figure 3‚ where the alteration of the amount of t-butyl chloride being added to the reaction vessel clearly produced a different rate constant. The findings from Part B of the experiment proved that the reaction followed the SN1 mechanism‚ with the increased concentration of water in the water/acetone mixture causing the reaction rate to increase due to the usage of polar solvents to stabilize the

NaHCO3 and NaCl and calculate a balanced equation for this reaction. Safety: • Wear safety goggles at all time • Handle all chemicals with care • Use equipment like tongs when handling warm/hot objects • If chemicals are spilt on self‚ wash off immediately • Stand at all times Hypothesis: The NaHCO3 will react successfully with the HCl and will form NaCl‚ H2O and CO2. Then be able to work out a balanced equation for the reaction and work out the moles of NaHCO3 and NaCl. Materials:

Physics Lab Report Format General Remarks: Writing a lab report is the only way your TA will know what you have done during the lab and how well you have understood the process and the results. Part of your lab experience should be learning how to organize and present your work in a scientific way. There is no framework that can be used as a “one size fits all”‚ therefore this sample lab report should only be used as an example. Any lab report should have the following features:
