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

Preparation of 4-bromoaniline Introduction Aromatic compounds tend to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitutions rather than addition reactions. Substitution of a new group for a hydrogen atom takes place via a resonance-stabilized carbocation. As the benzene ring is quite electron-rich‚ it almost always behaves as a nucleophile in a reaction which means the substitution on benzene occurs by the addition of an electrophile. Substituted benzenes tend to react at predictable positions. Alkyl groups

Abstract – This multi-step synthesis uses aniline as the starting reagent to synthesize five compounds employing several reactions such as acetylation‚ diazo coupling‚ nitration‚ bromination‚ and hydrolysis. The isolated products were analyzed with TLC and spectral data that determined most products were pure while some had a few impurities indicated by GC‚ LC‚ and a wide melting point range was shown for products 2 and 3. The presence of water in product 2 and 7 was indicated by the IR. Acetanilide
