Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface

In this lab‚ the pH of flat sprite and a fresh sprite are compared two ways: one way was to record the pH directly with a digital pH probe and the other was to calculate the concentration through titration. Because the reaction is a neutralization reaction‚ the concentration of can be calculated if the concentration of is known. At the end of the titration‚ the moles of will equal the moles of and the pH is expected to be greater than 7 because the found in sprite is weak and is a strong

Stoichiometry lab By: James Stewart Purpose: To calculate mole ratios Introduction: There are two types of chemical analysis; qualitative analysis which is the identification of a substance present in a material‚ and qualitative analysis which measures the amount of the substance. In this lab‚ you will perform a quantitative analysis of a two-step reaction. Copper(II) oxide will be synthesized from a known mass of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. Using the relationship of the balanced equation

Abstract Through three different experiments we were to find the quality of NaCl as a deicer. These experiments included testing the freezing point depression of NaCl in solution at two different concentrations‚ testing for the H of an aqueous NaCl solution‚ and combining NaCl with MgCl2 in an aqueous solution to test for freezing point depression. Through these various experiments we found NaCl to be the best deicer for our region due to its proficient freezing point depression and its cost

Compare and Contrast Essay – “In the Heat of the Night”; Movie or Book? By Johanna “In The Heat of the Night” is a gripping murder mystery story that incorporates a major issue of the time it was written at; racism. The original novel (published in 1965)‚ written by John Ball‚ is a story of Virgil Tibbs‚ a Negro homicide investigator. The death of orchestra-conductor Enrico Mantoli and a series of other events lead up to him in charge of a murder investigation in Wells‚ Carolina. This is much to

Organic Chemistry II Lab 9 Fermentation of a Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose * Introduction Ethanol is one of the oldest alcohols and also the least toxic one. Industrially‚ ethanol is made most economically by hydration of ethylene. However‚ ethanol that is intended for human consumption must‚ by law‚ be prepared by fermentation. By either method‚ ethanol‚ of course‚ has the same formula‚ structure‚ and properties. The fermentation takes place with the assistance of enzymes from yeast

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to identify the presence of cations and anions in four unknown solutions by identifying whether they are copper‚ silver‚ iron‚ or chloride ions which is done by adding sodium hydroxide‚ solid copper‚ silver nitrate‚ and potassium thiocyanate to the solutions and analyzing the chemical reactions. Introduction: Chemical change‚ unlike physical change is the change in the composition of a substance rather than simply its shape‚ size‚ or state (Marie‚ 2015). Signs
