the esterification of p-aminobenzoic acid with ethanol. The percent yield of crude product was determined to be 21% and the melting point was recorded at 86.2°C ± 0.2°C‚ with a 6.3% error from 92°C‚ the literature melting point of pure benzocaine. The crude product was then recrystallized to improve the purity of benzocaine and 57.4% was recovered. The new melting point range was measured at 89.1°C ± 0.3°C‚ which has a 3.15% error. The infrared spectrum of the recrystallized product was measured

To the components of a simulated pharmaceutical preparation‚ Panacetin‚ and identifying the unknown component of the mixture through extraction and separation methods. 2. To learn how to purify by recrystallization‚ how to dry them and how to obtain a melting point. PRECAUTION: ACETANILIDE AND PHENACETIN ARE EYE AND SKIN IRRITANTS. Minimize contact with

Experiment 2&3 Recrystallization and Melting Points Determinantion of Benzoic Acid Abstract In experiment 2‚ recrystallization was used to purify the crude benzoic acid extracted from a mixture during experiment 1. Then a percent recovery for this recrystallization process was calculated. In experiment 3‚ the melting point ranges of the crude and purified benzoic acid were both determined by using Melt Temp Apparatus. Introduction Recrystallization is a purification technique for non-volatile

is done by observing the melting point. This is important because if there is an impure substance the melting point would be depression and the melting range would be broader. By finding the melting point of a known substance one can then observe an unknown substance’s melting point to see if the points are the same and try to figure out the unknown. Experimental Section: The first known substance we used was Biphenyl. 68 degrees Celsius is the known melting point. We used the capillary method

The Purity and Purification of Solids- Part 2- Recrystallization Courtney Percival CH 337 Laboratory‚ Section 037 Department of Chemistry Portland State University‚ Portland OR ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Recrystallization is a commonly used tool in laboratories when dealing with impure solids. "An effective recrystallization is one in which 1) a high degree of purity is achieved as well as 2) a maximum recovery of sample".1 Solubility‚ the tendency of a substance to dissolve in a liquid‚ is an

Summary Purpose To purify the component (unknown) of Pancetin from last experiment and then compare its melt point to the two other possible substances. Theory Panacetin should be made up of about 50 percent of the unknown component that we previously separated out of Panacetin for testing. We suspect that this unknown compound is either acetanilide or phenacetin. From the solubility of acetaminophen and phenacetin‚ we could know both of them are relatively soluble in boiling water but insoluble

Metaphor of the Melting Pot Peggy Ruth Geren The melting pot has been used metaphorically to describe the dynamics of American social life. In addition to its descriptive uses‚ it has also been used to describe what should or should not take place in American social life. How did the term originate? How was it used originally? How is it used in contemporary society? What are some problems with the idea of the melting pot? How is public education connected to the idea of the melting pot? How does

The Melting Pot Is The United States of America the “melting pot” of the world? A melting pot is “a place where races‚ theories‚ etc.‚ are mixed.” (The Oxford Dictionary) Many immigrants come to the United States for the same basic reason: A better way of life. These same immigrants envision their dreams of success‚ freedom and happiness coming true. Without different cultures coming together learning from one another‚ many of today’s modern marvels would not exist. A good example of this is

The Melting Pot Cultural assimilation is the blending or fusing of minority groups into the dominant society. There are many metaphors related to the concept of cultural assimilation in the United States‚ one being the melting pot. It suggests that all of the cultures that have been brought into America melt together and become the base material of the pot. This metaphor is considered somewhat accurate‚ but some people disagree with what it implies. There are some metaphors that better represent
