Proteins are arguably the most important things that people know the least about. As OpenStax CNX puts it‚ “Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules”. Proteins are “Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen”(Miller‚ Kenneth R.‚ and Joseph S. Levine 48). Macromolecules are exceedingly large molecules that can be made up of several lesser molecules called proteins.

Post-Lab Report for Experiment 2: Cooperative Identification of an organic Solid October 6‚ 2013 Introduction: This experiment was focused on the cooperative identification of organic compound by its chemical properties such as: slow melting point‚ mixed melting point‚ Rf values in TLC experiment‚ IR spectrum analysis‚ and H NMR spectra. Such data can provide the the identity of functional groups and the identity of the compound itself. In this experiment

Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Introduction: Nitration is an example of an electrophile aromatic substitution reaction‚ where nitro (NO2) group is being substituted for a hydrogen on an aromatic compound. This is achieved by the formation of the nitronium ion by protonation of nitric acid from sulfuric acid. The zirconium ion is a strong electrophile and can react with aromatic compound such as Methyl benzoate to form an arenium ion intermediate. The arenium ion is then depronated to reform

Sarah Muhs ID: 11325862 Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Post Lab: 1. Is the ester group of your starting material electron donating or withdrawing? Support your conclusion with resonance drawings. The ester group‚ CO2CH3‚ of the starting material was electron withdrawing. 2. Draw the mechanism of the nitronium ion reaction with the methylbenzoate. 3. Why does water stop the reaction? Water stops the reaction because of Le Châtlier’s principle. Since water is a product‚ when more is added it drives

Chem 102 - Lab #2 Quantitative Analysis of a Soluble Sulfate Steven English Lab Instructor: Dr. Campo Date: Tuesday‚ February 5th 2013 Pre-Lab Questions A. Adding the acid to the sodium sulfate solution results in an increase in the solubility of any free anions present in the sample. This will happen because the present anions will bind with the hydrogen cations present in the acid. B. The sodium sulfate is boiled because experiments have shown that barium sulfate is 50

nCH3 The first step in the lab is the preparation of the solvent used in the developing chamber for thin layer chromatography. The solvent used is a 3:1 mixture of toluene and petroleum. After the developing chamber is prepared‚ it is essential to begin preparation of the unknown DNPH derivative[6]. The preparation of the 1‚2 DNPH derivative of a ketone is in fact a small organic synthesis which produces a fraction of a gram of product. The second part of the lab makes use of NMR Spectrometry

A>B>C A being the brightest 2. How do you predict that changing the direction of the current by reversing the connections to the battery in Figure 2-1 would change the rankings in (1)? I don’t think it will change at all. The brightness should be the same in diagram b and diagram a it should also stay

ring that a nucleophile could add to‚ referred to as the ortho‚ para‚ or meta positions. In this experiment‚ the nucleophile will primarily add into the meta position. This is because the starting material is methyl benzoate‚ as opposed to just benzene. The ester group of methyl benzoate is capable of participating in the resonance of the ring. This withdraws electron density from the benzene ring‚ and is said to be deactivating. Deactivating substituents destabilize the carbocation intermediates formed
