group. The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction nitration is used to nitrate methyl benzoate and acetanilide with a nitronium ion. Crystallization was used to purify the product. The melting point was used to determine its purity and the regiochemistry of the products. The methyl benzoate reaction product‚ methyl nitrobenzoate‚ was determined to be meta-substituted and the acetanilide reaction product‚ nitroacetanilide‚ was determined to be para-substituted.

Hydrolysis of tert-butyl Chloride in different solvents Practical conducted on 5 March‚ 2013 Reported by Pham Vu Hung on 10 March‚ 2013 Introduction: This practical is meant to measure the rate of reaction of the hydrolysis of tertiary-butyl chloride –a colorless‚ liquid organic compound at room temperature that is sparingly soluble in water - in water/acetone and water/isopropanol mixtures. Since there are many influencing factors for the rate of reaction‚ all are kept constant but the

Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate constants‚ k1‚ for the methyl acetate hydrolysis reaction at 25 °C and 35 °C‚ as well as the overall activation energy of the reaction. Methods Methyl acetate was placed in an HCl solution‚ in which it reacts with water to form acetic acid over time. At each time interval‚ an aliquot of the mixture was removed for titration against NaOH to determine the concentration of the acetic acid produced. From the amount of acetic acid produced

Abstract: The main reason for this experiment is to prepare a simple soap made from vegetable oil. The physical properties will be tested in order to demonstrate the reactions that occur. The experiment can conclude that the vegetable oil had a primary fatty acid called linoleic acid‚ which was evident during the saponification reaction. The simple soap did appear to be a good emulsifier because the soap did dissolve in the mixture of mineral oil and water. In hard water the calcium and magnesium

CM1191 Experiment 5 Kinetic Studies on the Decomposition of Aspirin Aims To investigate the molar absorptivity of salicylic acid To determine the concentration of dissolved aspirin in heated water at various times To determine the effective rate constant of the decomposition of aspirin in heated water at 85°C. Results and Discussion The molar absorptivity of salicylic acid‚ ε‚ can be calculated from the equation‚ A = εcl. A more accurate value can be obtained by finding the gradient of a graph

Isolation of Trimyristin from Nutmeg and preparation of Myristic Acid from Trimyristin by Hydrolysis Introduction Over 40% of medicinal chemicals in the world were developed from isolation of the natural source. These sources were from fungi‚ plants‚ bacteria‚ animals‚ etc. The techniques used to isolate and purify has been by extraction‚ distillation‚ recrystallization‚ and chromatography. In this experiment we will be trying to obtain a pure organic compound from a natural source. Because this

Effect of varying Temperatures on Enzymatic Activity of Bacterial and Fungal Amylase and hydrolysis of Starch Abstract This experiment consisted of setting up a control group of starch in various temperature and then placing both fungal amylases and bacterial amylases in a mixture of starch and placing the solution of amylase and starch in various temperatures of water. After a certain amount of time- different amount of time needs to be used in order to have reliable results- iodine is added
