The objective of this experiment was the synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate using an esterification reaction between acetic acid and Isopentyl Alcohol‚ using a strong acid as a catalyst. The product was washed‚ and distilled. This approach is called Fisher esterification‚ whereby esters are produced by the esterification of a Carboxylic acid where it is heated with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. The ester produced had a banana flavor. The extraction of the

The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl ester by an esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an ester. Carboxylic esters‚ like isopentyl acetate‚ are normally used to create artificial flavors. In the preparation of isopentyl acetate‚ esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol occurs. Esterification is an equilibrium shift to the product side using an excess of one of the starting components. In this experiment‚ the excess reagent is acetic acid because it

What is acetylsalicylic acid? Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)‚ or more commonly known as aspirin‚ is a medication that can be used for pain‚ fevers‚ and inflammation. It can be used for long periods of time‚ in small amounts‚ to prevent heart attacks‚ strokes and the formation of blood clots. A heart attack victim can be given a low dose right after the ordeal to reduce the risk of another one. Side effects of this drug is ulcers‚ internal bleeding (stomach) and ringing in the ears. These mainly happen

Preparation of an Ester Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) OBJECTIVE: To become familiar with the techniques and principle of esterification. DISCUSSION: Aspirin is a drug widely used as an antipyretic agent (to reduce fever)‚ as an analgesic agent (to reduce pain)‚ and/or as an anti-inflammatory agent (to reduce redness‚ heat or swelling in tissues). Chemically‚ aspirin is an ester. Esters are the products of reaction of acids with alcohols‚ as shown in the following equation using

Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction: In this lab the synthesis‚ purification‚ and characterization of isoamyl acetate‚ or banana oil‚ was determined. The synthesis was completed by a reversible esterification reaction which required the heating of glacial acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol‚ combined with a sulfuric acid catalyst in hexane. In order to increase the efficiency of the reaction‚ LeChatelier’s Principle is utilized by removing water from the products. As a result‚ the reaction

which can be found among the debates on the Consequent Argument. The argument is introduced by Peter van Inwagen (1983) in An Essay on Free Will. Contemporary philosophers who participate in this argument are either support or reject this argument. Fischer presents the argument informally as follow: “Suppose that causal determinism obtains and I do X at time t. It follows from the definition of causal determinism that the facts about the past‚ together with the laws of nature‚ entail that I do X at

Intro In 1936 a scientist named Ruzika was the first ever to make a pure form of testosterone from cholesterol (steroid.com). It is then that steroids emerged as a performance enhancing drug. I am pretty sure we all have pre conceived ideas and notions about steroids and the people that use them. Today I would like to talk to you all about the fact and fiction of steroid usage. 1st I would like to talk about the History of steroids‚ 2nd the types of steroids‚ 3rd anabolic and androgenic affects
