July 14‚ 2009 Experiment 6: Fractional Distillation. Separation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons Abstract: A mixture of cyclohexane and toluene were separate from one another by fractional distillation in order to measure the composition of each fraction and prepare the sample for gas chromatography. Introduction: Distillation has been used since antiquity to separate the components of mixtures. This method has been used to manufacture different organic chemicals but the most recent application

Review of Related Literature Calamondin or Clamansi‚ Citrofornella microcarpa‚ belong to the fruit tree family Rutaceae. The fruit of the Calamansi is a small‚ round lime‚ a little bigger than the size of a thumbnail‚ about 30 mm (an inch) in diameter. Similar to other citrus fruits‚ the calamansi is high in vitamin C‚ and the juice can be an excellent vitamin basis. The lively ingredient D-limonene destroys the wax coating of the insects’ respiratory system

Project 1: Polymer Ball Vivian Kim General Chemistry 2045L Introduction Our assignment in this project was to create a bouncy ball for a company using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‚ polyvinyl acetate solid and sodium borate‚ by varying the ration of ingredients and to determine the best recipe for our bouncy ball. The company chose the materials because of their odorless and nontoxic properties. PVA is a water-soluble synthetic polymer and has adhesive properties

Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to synthesize aspirin. In this experiment aspirin‚ also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ was synthesized from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. In the reaction the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring in salicylic acid reacted with acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. This method of forming acetylsalicylic acid is an esterification reaction. Since this esterification reaction is not spontaneous‚ sulfuric acid was used as a catalyst to initiate

gathered near the Lincoln Park conservatory. Materials and Methods: For data collection of insects‚ the class went to the North Pond Nature Sanctuary. A large and small net were used to catch various insects. Gauze that was previously soaked in ethyl acetate was used inside of a sealed glass jar to euthanize the insects that were caught. The insects were then placed into a ziplock bag to be stored in a freezer to preserve DNA structure. Environmental data was also collected regarding each insect

from the acid; the principal source of the acetate ion is from the salt. Therefore‚ the [H3O+] is determined by the salt/acid (or equivalently‚ the base/acid) mole ratio. For a conjugate acid/base pair: pH = pKa + log10 [nconjugate base] [nacid] On the other hand‚ the salt‚ sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2)‚ is essentially 100% dissociated into the constituent hydrated ions in a dilute aqueous solution. Sodium acetate solutions are basic because the acetate ion (the conjugate base of acetic acid) behaves

Results and Discussions Cbes-AXE2 encodes a novel acetyl xylan esterase The CAZy database has grouped esterases acting on carbohydrates into 16 different families of carbohydrate esterases (CEs). AXEs (EC 3.1.1.72) acting on acetylated xylan are distributed in only 8 families – CE1-7 and 16. Among these‚ other than CE4‚ all other CEs belong to serine esterase and have the prototype catalytic triad Ser-His-Asp (Glu). Genralyy‚ the catalytic serine of the triad lies in a conserved motif of either

Using orange (Citrus sinensis) as an airfreshener Review of related literature: Octyl acetate Octyl acetate‚ or octyl ethanoate‚ is an ester that is formed from octanol (octyl alcohol) and acetic acid. It is mostly found in oranges and other citrus products. Octyl acetate can be synthesized by a condensation reaction: C8H17OH + CH3COOH → C10H20O2 + H2O Uses Because of its fruity odor‚ octyl acetate is used as the basis for artificial flavors and in perfumery. It is also as a solvent for
