Grignard Synthesis of Tirphenylmethanol David Szuminsky Organic Chemistry Lab II Shaopeng Zhang Monday 1PM 2/10/14 & 2/24/14 - Abstract A sample of triphenylmethanol was prepared using Grignard synthesis techniques. Reflux was used in order to speed up the reaction and the final product was purified using recrystallization methods. The percent recovery and percent yield were 80.46% and 47.526%‚ respectively. A melting point range of 85-87oC was obtained from

The objective of this macromolecules lab was to identify the presence any of the major macromolecules in various every day food items. The three macromolecules that this lab was carried out for were carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and proteins. There were five different experiments conducted and each of those experiments had one factor in common‚ they all had the same controls. The controls in this lab activity were already set for the lab activity. The controls were the distilled water and the baking soda

Enzymes Lab Report Inroduction In this lab we explore an enzymes activity and how it can be affected by changes to its environment. An enzyme is a protein and is a catalyst to chemical reactions. It helps accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy‚ which is needed for reactions in cells to progress at a higher rate. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding products from a given set of reactants. (Unit 7: Enzymes lab) Products

Calculate the percentage recovery of products. Test for purity and identification of products. Abstract Cyclohexene and cyclohexanol are both colourless aromatic compounds. The major difference between the two is the presence

The objective of this experiment was to learn the process of recrystallization and how this process removes the impurities from a pure solid compound. The methods used to achieve this objective were also hot vacuum filtration in order to remove suspended solid impurities‚ and isolating the pure acetanilide. In the next lab‚ percent recovered was obtained through weighing the acetanilide sample as well as comparing its melting point range. In this experiment‚ the sample‚ acetanilide was weighted

marginal difference between the amounts of CO2 produced at different temperatures. The results showed that increased temperature causes an increase in fermentation rate and increased production of CO2. Introduction: Fermentation is the break down of organic matter‚ by microorganism‚ in the absence of oxygen also known as anaerobic (Van Neil‚ 2008). Our reactions occurs when yeasts is added to a solution of glucose and water. Fermentation starts with a process called glycolysis. In glycolysis Glucose

The purpose of the experiment was to find out how temperature affects the enzymes activity. For example‚ in Humans if the temperature is too high‚ the individual’s brain enzymes can denature and cause life threatening problems. The opposite can occur as well‚ if the temperature is too low‚ hypothermia can occur and it can be dangerous (Wilson‚ 1996). In the experiment optimal conditions for fungal and bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature

Name : Andi Nadya Amanda Period : 4 Grade : 11 Enzyme Lab Report Question How heats effect the length of reaction time of an enzyme? Hypothesis I think the heat will make the length of reaction time of an enzyme become slowly. Heat is one of a way to denature the substrate. It means the heat will break down the structure of substrate in order the reaction of enzymes that we activated into it become slowly. Method for Collecting Data First I will record the length of reaction time

ether. To isolate the alcohol‚ dilute acid was used to convert the magnesium salt to free alcohol and the mixture was washed with water and sodium chloride to remove remaining magnesium salt and water. Anhydrous sodium sulfate was used to dry the organic layer and all solvent was removed through rotary evaporation. To purify the product‚ the crude product was washed with hexane and recrystallized from hot 2-propanol. 1) 2) 3) Figure 4. Reaction mechanism for the preparation of Grignard reagent
