Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to synthesise acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) by creating a reaction between acetic anhydride and salicylic acid. This was be accomplished through the use of recrystallization. Acetic anhydride and salicylic acid are mixed together‚ and then acidified by the addition of a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid‚ which catalyzed the reaction. The percent yield is calculated to determine the effectiveness of the reaction in preparing the desired product (aspirin)

Every cell‚ whether it belongs to a plant‚ bacteria or a human‚ requires energy from varying food sources to survive. However‚ when cells break down food into its sugar components‚ i.e glucose‚ they cannot use the components directly because glucose holds a lot of energy it would be inefficient to use for reactions that don’t need a lot of energy. Imagine you want to buy pencils for $5 from a store that won’t give change‚ it is more economical to use a $5 or $10 bill than a $100‚ that way there is

TRANSCRIPTION: Transcription is the process of which DNA matches corresponding RNA bases‚ Transcription is located in the Nucleus‚ and the only type of RNA that is involved in Transcription is mRNA‚ and the purpose is so that the code can get out of the Nucleus‚ mRNA is also made through Transcription‚ It also takes information that doesn’t directly make proteins but it helps makes codes for the production of proteins‚ DNA Transcription consist of 4 nucleotide bases‚ Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine‚ Guanine

Santo Tomas‚ Espana Street‚ Manila 1008 Date Submitted: September 13‚ 2012 ------------------------------------------------- Abstract Carboxylic acid derivatives namely‚ acyl halides‚ acid anhydrides‚ esters and amides were classified through different reactivity tests. The samples used were acetyl chloride for acyl halide group‚ acetic anhydride for acid anhydride group‚ ethyl acetate for ester group‚ acetamide and benzamide for amide group. These derivatives were identified through the mechanism

synthesised is only 67%-70% and a maximum 70% yield of ester usually is not considered to be acceptable for a synthesis reaction‚ instead it is considering as a poor yield of ester. The synthesised ester can only have a maximum yield of 70% because for ester in which the carboxylic acid and alcohol are sterically unhindered‚ a same ratio mixture of carboxylic acid and alcohol can only synthesis ester with a maximum yield of 70% ester as the reaction with the same ration of mixture will reach a state

aMicroscale Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate (Banana Oil) Objective: Carried out the microscale synthesis of isopentyl acetate by direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol. This was an acid catalyzed Fischer esterification. Both extraction and distillation were employed to obtain a pure product. IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography were used to determine purity of the final product. Reagents: * Compound: | * MW (g/mol): | * MP (°C): | * BP (°C): | * Density (g/mL):

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

1. In the Luminol synthesis the compound being oxidized was the sodium hydrosulfite. 2. The purpose of the acetic acid is to pronate the dianon organic molecule to make the neutral organic compound‚ Luminol that will crash out of the solvent. If the number of moles were reversed for acetic acid and sodium hydroxide the solution would be very basic‚ and and the amount of Luminol produced would decrease. 3. The cold water was used to decrease the solubility of Luminol in the solvent and prevent further

Procedure 2.0 g of Mo(CO)6 and 10 mL of mesitylene were added into a 50-mL round bottom flask along with a small magnetic stir bar. A 30-cm reflux condenser was attached to the round bottom flask and a gas inlet was then connected to the condenser and to the bubbler. Since Mo(CO)6 and the product tends to react with oxygen at high temperatures this reaction must take place in an inert atmosphere. Therefore‚ the gas inlet was connected at the top of the condenser to a nitrogen source and was flushed
