Recrystallization of Benzoic Acid Objective To purify benzoic acid by recrystallization and gain experience with a basic organic laboratory techniques. Background Products of chemical reactions are often contaminated with impurities. One method for purifying chemicals‚ recrystallization‚ takes advantage of the differences in the solubilities of the desired products and the impurities and the tendency for the slow formation of crystals to exclude impurities from the crystalline solid.

effect on rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction by different objectives which include effect of substrate‚ temperature‚ ph and effect of a competitive inhibitor phosphate ions. This is determined by the reaction of hydrolysis by p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNP) as a substrate by the enzyme phosphatase. Abstract The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate has been studied in human red blood cells. To see if hydrolysis was related to the functioning of the sodium pump. Acid phosphatase catalysis’s the hydrolysis

Objectives 1. To separate a mixture of an acid and a neutral compound into its component by extraction. 2. To determine the melting point and the yield of the benzoic acid and the unknown sample. 3. To determine the unknown sample whether is is Trimethylmethanol or 1‚2‚4‚5-Tetrachlorobenzene. Introduction Extraction is a process of transferring a solute from one solvent to another. It is usually used to separate one or more components from a mixture. Diethyl ether‚ dichloromethane

MSG or monosodium glutamate is a sodium salt of glutamic acid which can be naturally found in many common foods that are rich in protein content such as dairy products‚ meat‚ vegetable and mother’s milk. In fact‚ our own bodies do produce glutamic acid via Krebs cycle during metabolizing food. Glutamate is the most abundant naturally occurring non-essential amino acid (Ninomiya‚ 1998) and it is a very common part of our diet. In the food industry‚ MSG is widely used as a flavor enhancer. It is responsible

Sodium borohydride Reduction of Benzil Introduction: The Purpose of this experiment is for the students to learn how to use sodium borohydride to reduce benzil to its secondary alcohol product via reduction reaction. This two-step reaction reduces aldehydes by hydrides to primary alcohols‚ and ketones to secondary alcohols. In order for the reaction to occur and to better control the stereochemistry and yield of the product‚ the metal hydride nucleophile of the reducing agents such as LiH‚ LiAlH4

An abiotic factor is any of a number of the non-living components of a habitat. The abiotic factors of the amazon rain forest biome are the amount of water ‚ sunlight ‚ climate ‚ weather and precipitation. These factors affect the trees and animals that live there. They are very important because without the right amount of water and sunlight the trees in the rainforest would not be able to grow and it will die. A biotic factor is any living component that affects another organism. The

Introduction: The theory behind the extraction of a solution containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange involves many components pertaining to the fundamental ideas of solubility and polarity. Using the concepts of like dissolving like and acid base reactions‚ a solution of organic acid (benzoic acid)‚ a water soluble compound cellulose‚ and an organic soluble compound methyl orange‚ can be separated and benzoic acid can be isolated by a method of extraction. At the fundamental level‚
