Introduction The production of acetone and butanol by means of solvent-producing strains of Clostridium spp. was one of the first large-scale industrial fermentation processes to be developed‚and during the first part of this century it ranked second in importance only to ethanol fermentation. The reason for the almost total demise of this fermentation in the early 1960s was the inability of the fermentation process to compete economically with the chemical synthesis of solvents. However‚ interest

243a Matt Judd‚ Sec. 25 Date Performed: 10/15/03 Abstract: The objective of this experiment is to efficiently perform a fischer esterification of 1-Hexanol to form water and hexyl acetate‚ and to confirm the esterification with a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It was found that 0.3963 grams hexyl acetate was formed with a percent yield of 33.2%. The product was confirmed using NMR‚ IR‚ and boiling point confirmation. Backround: A Fischer Esterification is the formation of an ester

Bacterial Fermentation Secondary article Article Contents Volker Mu¨ller‚ Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨t Mu¨nchen‚ Munich‚ Germany . Introduction Under anaerobic conditions‚ in the dark and in the absence of electron acceptors‚ organic compounds are catabolized by strictly anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria by internally balanced oxidation–reduction reactions‚ a process called fermentation. In fermentation‚ the organic compound serves as both electron donor and acceptor‚ and adenosine

intermolecular forces that can be present in a solution are london dispersion forces‚ dipole-dipole force‚ hydrogen bonding and ion-dipole forces. In this experiment the substances that were used were acetone‚ methanol‚ water‚ 1- butanol and ethyl acetate. Acetone is the organic compound with the formula (CH₃)₂CO. It is a colorless‚ volatile‚ flammable liquid‚ and is the simplest ketone. It takes 21 seconds for it to completely disappear. It was the first to evaporate among all tested substances. The

Introduction Esters are among the most widespread of all naturally occurring compounds. Many simple esters are pleasant-smelling liquids that are responsible for the fragrant odors of fruits and flowers. Examples are benzyl acetate‚ which is finding in orange oil‚ and isopentyl acetate‚ which is the part of banana oil. The ester linkage is also present in animal fats and in many biologically important molecules. Esters can be formed from both organic and inorganic acids and the process of producing
