Synopsis The purpose of this experiment was for students to prepare some simple organic compound and to purify the compound by recrystallisation. This experiment allowed the students to conduct the synthesis of aspirin‚ acquire the skills of recrystallisation using normal filtration and reinforce the technique of the melting point determination. The method used to synthesize aspirin was esterification by reacting salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the presence of dehydrating agent‚ conc

Colton Kuhlers Chemistry Paper Organic vs. Non-Organic What should I eat‚ organic or non-organic? This has been is hot topic a lot now that the United States is trying to go healthy. For years people have been researching which is healthier‚ more economical‚ and the most available than the other. It is hard to know what to buy when one researcher says organics better and another researcher says non-organics better. Let me take this topic into more depth to explain myself. First‚ let’s me describe

Title: to get organic food Specific purpose: Organic food advocates claim that organically grown foods are safer and more nutritious than foods raised with non-organic methods such as pesticide and non-organic fertilizer use‚ or antibiotic and hormone use. Thesis statement: Many people just don’t trust these chemicals and don’t want to put them into their bodies. Since virtually all non-organically produced foods contain residues of pesticides‚ fertilizers and other chemicals‚ the only way to

Chapter 3 1. 1 atom of X = atomic mass (amu) 1 mole f X=atomic mass in grams 1 mole of something = 6.022 x 1023 units of that substance 1 mole of a compound =66.022 x 1023 atoms 6.022 x 1023 amu =1 g 2. What is the mass of 6 atoms of Fe? Answer: 6 atoms of Fe x 55.85 amu÷atom of Fe x 1 g of Fe÷6.022 x 1023 amu = 3. How many atoms does it take to make 1 g of Gold (Au)? Answer: 197.0 g Au =1 mole of Au

www.igcse.at.ua ORGANIC CHEMISTRY OIL and its many useful PRODUCTS The origin of oil Crude oil is formed from organic material of the remains of plant and animal organisms that lived millions of years ago. These remains form sediments eg at the bottom of seas‚ and become buried under layers of sedimentary rock. They decay‚ without air (oxygen)‚ under the action of heat and pressure to form crude oil over millions of years. It is a fossil fuel because it is formed from

Niharika Palakodety‚ Victoria Wang‚ and Grace Xiong Mrs. Rhonda Smith Honors Chemistry Period 4 13 May 2012 Redox Reactions Lab Report We wished to investigate the oxidation number of a metal that would form aqueous ions when reacted with an aqueous nitrate salt. For this purpose‚ we chose to investigate the reaction of solid copper metal‚ in the form of a wire‚ with aqueous silver nitrate. Before we began the lab‚ we hypothesized that when silver nitrate‚ AgNO3‚ reacts with copper‚ Cu‚ the
