173 Sec # January 25‚ 2005 Experiment 36: Determination of the Structure of a Natural Product in Anise Oil Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to isolate the major component of anise oil and determine its identity and structure using melting point determination and IR spectroscopy. Introduction: The major component of anise oil has the chemical formula C10H12O. This compound is said to be hydrogen deficient‚ meaning that it contains less hydrogen atoms than would be needed for each of

The melting point was found to be 130.5°C-133.7°C. Concluding that the product formed from the addition of bromine was a mixture of the erythro-2‚ 3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid‚ which has a known melting point of 204°C‚ and threo-2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid‚ which has a known melting point of 95°C. Meaning the recrystallized product was a racemic

A qualitative analysis experiment was conducted to determine the identity of an unknown aldehyde or ketone. The tests include a Tollens test‚ a Schiff test‚ an iodoform test‚ and a derivative melting point test. The data of the first three tests was inconclusive. The final derivative melting point test was utilized to successfully determine that the unknown was the ketone‚ Propiophenone. Introduction: Qualitative analysis is a method or series of methods used to determine the identity

amount of heat required to convert a mass of a solid at its melting point into a liquid without an increase in temperature. As difficult as this may sound‚ this experiment can be carried out with minimal equipment. The following equipment was needed‚ a 100mL graduated cylinder‚ a calorimeter‚ a digital thermometer‚ a calculator‚ water‚ and ice cubes. Procedure: The procedure to find the heat of fusion for ice was measured by melting ice cubes in a known volume and temperature of water and carefully

The unknown carboxylic acid’s melting point was 108°C according to the Mel-Temp machine. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid precipitate changes into its liquid form upon heating. The melting point of benzoic acid‚ the aromatic carboxylic acid was 122°C. Thus‚ the product contained impurities which caused the solid to melt at a lower temperature than the actual temperature. Pure solids typically melt at higher temperatures while impure solids melt at lower temperatures. This is

After conducting the experiment-extraction‚ distillation‚ and evaporation- 451mg of active ingredient. This relates to a 68.1% recovery. The melting point was between 158 and 165 degrees Celsius‚ which is almost ten degrees lower than the published melting point of acetaminophen. After conducting a TLC plate‚ the

Determination of Melting and Boiling Point of different Organic Compounds Bakare‚ Abimbola Kristine‚ C. Professor Miranda Marilyn‚ school of chemical engineering and biotechnology‚ Mapua Institute of Technology‚ CHM145L-B11 ABSTRACT A melting point of a solid is the temperature at which the first crystal just starts to melt until the temperature at which the last crystal just disappears. Thus‚ the melting point (m.p.) is actually a melting range. The melting point of a substance depends

The reaction converted two pi bonds into two sigma bonds forming 1‚9 dihydroanthracene-9‚ 10-‚ succinic anhydride (Wade‚ Jr.‚ 2013). Procedure: Step 1: Weighed 0.5g of anthracene and 0.25g of maleic anhydride Step 2: Added 6mL of xylene Step 3: Allowed the mixture to boil for 30 minutes Step 4: Placed 6mL of xylene in ice bath Step 5: Cooled down reaction to room temperature for 5
