You will test nine substrates (Figure 1) under each of these two reaction conditions to see which compounds will do SN1‚ SN2‚ neither reaction or both. You will observe the formation of a precipitate upon reaction. For the SN2 reaction‚ NaI is soluble in acetone but the byproducts of reaction‚ NaCl or NaBr (depending on the leaving group of each compound) are not. For the

By using a rotary evaporator‚ it evaporates the organic solvent and forms the crude caffeine. Afterwards we used acetone-petroleum ether for recrystallization and the vacuum apparatus for filtration to obtain pure caffeine. At the end the melting point of the pure caffeine was obtained.

ISOLATION OF TRIMYRISTIN FROM NUTMEG ABSTRACT The purpose if the experiment was to extract the Trimyristan from ground nutmeg using extraction‚ distillation and recrystallization procedures. This experiment involves extraction and separation techniques that yield a purified product. The product was extracted and a distillation process was used to remove any remaining solvent. The recrystallization of the sample in turn produced a pure sample‚ which was proven using the known melting

Lab #3 Separating Metal Cations by Paper Chromatography Introduction/Purpose: In chemistry‚ it is important to effectively analyze the components in a given mixture. In order to do so‚ chemists will analyze a mixture either qualitatively or quantitatively using different methods and equipment. Qualitative analyses are subjective‚ and only gather “non-numerical” data such as the color‚ appearance‚ and smell of the components. This data

firstly to separate and purify the compounds. At any given temperature‚ a certain number of molecules of a substance in the liquid state have sufficient energy to escape from the surface to create a vapor pressure. This tendency becomes greater as the kinetic energy of the molecules is increased by raising the temperature. When a liquid is heated to a temperature at which the vapor pressure equals that of the surrounding atmosphere‚ the liquid boils‚ and this temperature is known as the boiling point

During the lab experiment six different test were conducted. Each test consists of chemicals to be tested using 3 to 10 drops of the additive in order to observe a change. With any experiment you compose a hypothesis; where you make an educated guess. The hypothesis will primarily be‚ which base chemical will produce the greatest change based on the additive. Experiment 6.1 (Starch) when adding the three drops of Iodine to each tube observe the color change. When performing this test the chemical
