of this experiment was to carry an organic synthesis; the preparation of salicylic acid from methyl salicylate. To do an organic synthesis‚ it is needed to chemically modify the molecules of another compound to end up with the desire compound. Methyl salicylate is the major constituent of wintergreen oil‚ which is why it was used in this experiment as the starting material. The new technique used in this experiment is heating under reflux. Many organic compounds‚ when heated become volatile and it

the demand of certain reagents in the laboratory in order to perform and conduct further experiments or produce essential compounds‚ chemists continuously develop organic synthesis. This process aims to prepare and synthesize desired organic compounds from commercially or readily available ones by providing the simplest route in synthesizing the compound. One example of a compound being can be synthesized in the laboratory is acetylsalicylic acid‚ commonly known as aspirin. It is variedly used for different

EXPERIMENT 3 DETERMINATION OF ORGANIC MATTER BY WALKEY- BLACK WET OXIDATION METHOD OBJECTIVE: This method determines the percentage of organic carbon and organic matter in the soil. INTRODUCTION The soil sample is suspended in standard potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) solution to which concentrated sulphuric acid is then added. The heat generated on adding the sulphuric acid and the presence of chromic acid creates strong oxidizing conditions. The excess chromic

growth in organic products. Ceres increased their revenues by over 75% in just five years‚ while growing profits by over 25% (based on Exhibits 2‚ 3 & 4). Ceres’s basic strategy started with its founder‚ Jonathan Wydown‚ to promote sustainable organic gardens and landscapes to environmentally conscious consumers. Mr. Wydown has been a proponent of soil preservation‚ biodiversity‚ and natural fertilizers and pest control. Mr. Wydown was confident that the same principles behind organic farming would

In conclusion to the distillation lab‚ I think our data shows that our experiment went well. Our graph resembles the graph in the lab handout (graphs attached to lab notebook sheets). The fractional distillation shows the sharp slope between when the cyclohexane burns off and mostly only toluene remains. The microscale graph seems to be accurate because it shows the large jump where the cyclohexane is burned off. To view the apparatuses used in the experiment look at the attached pictures. To

Conclusion: As we have learned from all the information presented to us in the communication world‚ there are many choices out there to relay tidbits of talk‚ video‚ emails‚ text‚ global connection via MySpace or Facebook‚ and face to face communication via webcam; it all just depends on how you (as a user) chooses to use the outlet. All the communication we have investigated has to do with mostly snippets of information‚ like a text through Twitter‚ or a blurp on Facebook; these are not communication

Barry Allahyar Dr. Dodd CHEM 2122 2010-09-16 Experiment 19: Fischer Esterification‚ Conclusion The objective in this experiment was to efficiently perform an Fischer esterification of 1-butanol and acetic acid to form water and n-butyl acetate‚ and to confirm the esterification using IR spectroscopy analysis. It was found that 0.734 grams of n-butyl acetate was formed with a percent yield of 61%. The product was confirmed using IR spectroscopy and boiling point confirmation. The reaction mechanism
