Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives Ma. Marielle M. Medura Prof. Emma Boncales Chem 23A (TTH 01:00-4:00 p.m) Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives I. Introduction Carboxylic acids is an organic compound that contains a carboxylic group(-COOH). Its general formula is R-C=OOH with R referring to the rest of the molecule such as H and C. They are directly attached to a carbonyl group and the interaction between them affects the reactions of each. The polarity of the O-H bond

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) was created by chemist Albert Hofmann in Switzerland while attempting to create a blood stimulant. The drug was utilized for psychological experiments for many years and this even led to the military experimenting with it as a biological weapon in the 1960’s. During the 1960’s‚ as a result to the wide dispensing of the drug for experimental purposes‚ it wound up being the “…counterculture used the drug to escape the problems of society…” (LSD: A Short History).

The difference in the structure leads to amajor change in reactivity. The reactions of thesegroups of compounds involve nucleophilicsubstitution.

EXTRACTION OF BENZOIC ACID‚ 2-NAPHTHOL‚ AND NAPHTHALENE FROM UNKNOWN SAMPLE # 131 Douglas G. Balmer (T.A. Mike Hall) Dr. Dailey Submitted 11 July 2007 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a sample of benzoic acid‚ 2- naphthol‚ and naphthalene of unknown proportions using a two-base extraction method. The three components of the mixture will react differently to sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide because each of the bases’ conjugate acids has a different pKa. The

Acid-Base Extraction: Separation of an Organic Acid‚ Base and a Neural Compound Introduction/Background Acid base extraction is a widely used commercial method in separating acids‚ bases and neutral compounds. This is concept is based on several physical properties of the compounds‚ such as boiling point‚ melting points and solubility. The different solubility properties of the protonated and non-protonated forms of these compounds depend on the functional groups present‚ such

Experiment #5: Acid Burn!!! Introduction The goal of this lab was to correctly prepare a 0.2M solution of NaOH‚ identify highly acidic household cleaning chemicals‚ and determine their concentration (molarity) through titrations using the previously prepared 0.2M NaOH solution. Experimental First‚ to create 0.5L of 0.2M solution of NaOH‚ standard 3M NaOH solution was obtained. Next‚ calculations were performed to determine the amount 3M NaOH necessary to create 0.5L of the 0.2M solution and‚ as
