Experiment 2: Synthesis of Isoamyl Acetate (Banana Flavor) Paul Symon C. Manuel*‚ Katherine Merene‚ Charlene Mondelo‚ and Pamela Mallari Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize isoamyl acetate via an esterification reaction between acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol‚ using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The product was washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate‚ as well as with water‚ and then dried

A small amount of the unknown (approximately the tip of the spatula was used for all the pigments) was added into each clean dry test tube. For the first test 1 mL of 3 M of HNO3 was added. As soon as the acid came into with the solid‚ the pigment was observed to dissolve while also turning the solution into a pale clear colour. The same amount was used for the HCl reagent. As soon as the acid touched the pigment it yielded in a clear solution (solid dissolved after a few shakes). When the KI was

RECRYSTALLIZATION Group Medical Technology Organic Chemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT Recrystallization is one of the simplest and most widely used technique for purifying organic solids through the differences in solubility at different temperatures. It is also the process in which the solid to be crystallized is dissolved to either a hot solvent or a hot solvent mixture and is cooled in a solution.In this experiment‚ acetanilide‚ the crude product of acetylation of aniline and acetic anhydride

Purpose: Determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide from the percent composition (this can found using the Analytical Method and the Synthesis Method). 2. Introduction: In the late eighteenth century‚ combustion has been studied extensively. In fact‚ according to Steven and Susan Zumdahl‚ Antoine Lavoisier‚ a French Chemist‚ performed thousands of combustion experiments

Stoichiometric Analysis Formal Lab Report I. Purpose- The purpose of this lab is to show stoiciometric reactions and relationships first hand. It also increases our level of understanding about the complicated relationships in chemical reactions and in stoichiometry. II. Introduction- In chemical reactions and formulas there are various relationships between masses of reactants and products. The study of these relationships is called stoichiometry which is derived from the Greek words stoichein

A formal report is a methodical presentation of a subject or an action which includes summaries of important points as well as appendices of tangential and secondary points. In simple words‚ a formal report is used to formally document the outcomes of an experiment‚ a design or an information which can provide the readers a clear understanding of why and how the experiment or action is done and what it concludes. Apart from readers understanding‚ a formal report is also prepared in order to record

Lab #5-Enzymes NAME DATE LAB PERIOD Introduction Enzymes are proteins‚ though highly complex and diverse‚ they serve one basic function; to work as an organic catalyst. A catalyst‚ as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary‚ is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate ("Catalyst-Definition and more."). They function by reducing the activation energy‚ or energy required to start a reaction. The way enzymatic reaction works cannot be altered‚ but the

The use of the Empirical Rule When the mean=median and the values often tend to cluster around the mean and median‚ producing a bell-shaped distribution. Then we can use the empirical rule to examine the variability. Usually in this bell-shaped data set‚ we can calculate the mean the standard deviation. The mean means the average value of this set of data. The standard deviation means the average scatter around the mean. If we allow[pic]to represents the mean and[pic]to represents the standard
