For the first part of the experiment‚ it began by weighing 4.0ml of methyl salicylate into a flask—a stir bar was added. While stirring‚ 40ml of 6M sodium hydroxide was added and the solution was heated and boiled for about 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes‚ a bit of water was used to wash down the sides of the flask and the solution was cooled. It was boiled for another 15 minutes‚ after this the solution was cooled for 5 minutes in an ice water bath. While the flaks was in the ice bath‚ 50ml of

Benzoic Acid and Benzoates in Food‚ Drinks and Medicines Benzoic acid and benzoates are common additives to food‚ drinks‚ medicines and cosmetics‚ and they also occur naturally in many plants. They are useful chemicals in manufactured products because they kill or inhibit both bacteria and fungi and can act as preservatives. Benzoic acid and benzoates are considered to be safe chemicals for humans when they’re used in small quantities‚ but there are at least two situations in which even small

Methyl Red Voges-Proskauer Test Questions A.What is meant by the term biochemical profile? Biochemical profile is a variety of biochemical tests. These various tests are used to measure the constituents of plasma and serum in blood. B.What metabolic end product does the MR test for? The metabolic end product MR tests for are the different bacteria’s related to their individual patterns of glucose metabolism. C.What does an orange color indicate as a result for an MR test? An orange color as a result

BACKGROUND: Esterification is a reaction that combines an alcohol with an organic acid‚ with a water molecule is being taken out‚ and an ester is formed. A concentrated acid catalyst speeds up the esterification. In this experiment set up‚ sulphamic acid was used‚ as it is a solid acid and be added dry‚ without any water‚ which is a reactant in this experiment equilibrium. Esterification is a slow and reversible reaction. The equation for the reaction between an acid RCOOH and an alcohol RẬᶦ

Also known as "benzoate of soda‚" sodium benzoate is an FDA-approved‚ polyunsaturated fat that has been used by food manufacturers for over 80 years to inhibit microbial growth. As a food additive it is used as a preservative‚ effectively killing most yeasts‚ bacteria and fungi. Sodium benzoate is effective only in acidic conditions (pH < 3.6) making its use most prevalent in foods such as preserves‚ salad dressings (vinegar)‚ carbonated drinks (carbonic acid)‚ jams (citric acid)‚ fruit juices (citric

One of the items contained Sodium Benzoate‚ a small percentage of people are extremely sensitive to sodium benzoate and can experience asthmatic attacks and other allergic reactions when they take in the preservative. A more normal problem is the combination of sodium benzoate and citric acid and ascorbic acid. When these ingredients mix‚ they form benzene‚ a cancer-causing chemical linked with leukemia

We performed two procedures in which we reduced methyl acetoacetate. For the first procedure we produced a racemic mixture of Methyl (S)-3-Hydroxyacetate and Methyl (R)-3-Hydroxyacetate. For the second we produced only one of the enantiomer products depending on which enantiomer of Tartaric Acid was used. A reduction is a reaction which generally means adding more carbon-hydrogen bonds to a compound. In a reduction reaction the oxidation number of a carbon atom decreases. The opposite is an oxidation
