Benzil is produced in the first step of this experiment’s multistep synthesis through the oxidation of benzoin. In order to produce the desired o-diketone‚ the alcohol on benzoin must be oxidized. Nitric acid was the oxidizing agent used in this experiment. As a result‚ the alcohol group on benzoin acted as the nucleophile and attacked the electrophilic nitrogen of nitric acid. As this step forms oxonium‚ excess water in the system deprotonated the oxonium to restore the neutral charge on oxygen

Name: Date of experiment: 04/02/12 Date of report: 04/03/12 Title: Oxidation – Reduction Activity Series Purpose: To determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and ions. Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise-versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to

1. Mechanism of oxidation process In an oxidation process of silicon that usually takes place at very high temperature (thermal oxidation)‚ silicon (Si) reacts with either water vapor (H20) or oxygen (O2) to form silicon dioxide‚SiO2 on the silicon surface. The reaction is represented by following equations: Dry oxidation: Si + O2 → SiO2 Wet oxidation: Si + 2H2O → SiO2 + 2H2 The oxidation process can be implemented through diffusion

Oxidation Number When elements combine to produce a compound‚ each element is assigned an “apparent” charge. This apparent charge‚ the charge an atom would have if both electrons in each bond were assigned to the more electronegative element‚ may be positive or negative. It is called the oxidation number or state of the element in the compound. Oxidation numbers are very useful in keeping track of what happens to electrons when various elements combine to form compounds. By remembering a few

potassium permanganate solution was titrated thrice to give clear Mn2+ with an analyte of acidified FeSO4 until all the Fe2+ in the solution was oxidized to Fe3+. The color of the MnO4-/Mn2+ was used as the indicator for the titration. A balanced oxidation-reduction‚ the molarity/normality of the standards potassium permanganate‚ and the volume of potassium permanganate used allowed the determination of the concentration of the FeSO4. Equipment and Chemicals: Chemicals: * Iron (II) ammonium sulfate
