We underwent two different reaction schemes using Dipotassium phosphate (K2HPO4) and Potassium hydroxide (KOH) to isolate the compounds of pure Acetylsalicylic Acid/Aspirin and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) Ethanimidate/Acetaminophen respectively from Excedrin. The first reaction scheme to undergo acid-base organic extraction was to isolate the most acidic compound in Excedrin with a weak base‚ K2HPO4. We isolated the aspirin using aqueous base extraction‚ with Dipotassium phosphate then treated with HCl

ALCOHOLS Alcohols are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by an -OH group. For the purposes of UK A level‚ we will only look at compounds containing one -OH group. For example: Primary alcohols In a primary (1°) alcohol‚ the carbon which carries the -OH group is only attached to one alkyl group Some examples of primary alcohols include: Secondary alcohols In a secondary (2°) alcohol‚ the carbon with the -OH group attached is joined directly to

Introduction What is organic food? • (1) Organic food is food which has been produced to standards designed to keep the production more ’natural’. Fewer‚ if any‚ chemicals are used and most pesticides are banned - when they are used they are very carefully controlled. • (2)Organic food costs more then non-Organic food. This is not always the case but on average organic farmers generally charge more for their produce because: o Many organic farming practices take a bit longer and produce lower

of different storage environments on organic and non-organic bananas‚ to see which one lasts the longest over a period of time. The study was separated into 5 groups that were each labeled to a location in a standard family home that would‚ over time‚ begin to affect the overall form and characteristics of the bananas. Throughout the experiment‚ it was found that “Group 2 – Impact of Air Exposure‚” lasted longer than any other group. Following the investigation‚ it is evident that the Ziploc bags

of this experiment was to carry an organic synthesis; the preparation of salicylic acid from methyl salicylate. To do an organic synthesis‚ it is needed to chemically modify the molecules of another compound to end up with the desire compound. Methyl salicylate is the major constituent of wintergreen oil‚ which is why it was used in this experiment as the starting material. The new technique used in this experiment is heating under reflux. Many organic compounds‚ when heated become volatile and it

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LAB 2: Separation of Organic Liquid Mixtures Introduction: In this experiment‚ a mixture of two compounds‚ cyclohexane and toluene‚ was separated into fractions by the techniques of simple and fractional distillation. The individual fractions that were gathered from the distillation were analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) and used to compare the efficiencies of the two different distillation techniques. The ultimate goal of this experiment was to determine whether simple

PPE is a vital part to an investigation; not only for preserving the crime scene but also ensuring the safety of the forensic scientist. PPE comes in all shapes and forms‚ ranging from latex or nitrile gloves‚bubble suits‚ face masks‚ eye protection etc. In this lab‚ the group investigated the living room where a suspected stabbing occurred (living room 1). The PPE required for this investigation included: latex gloves‚ disposable filter masks‚ and shoe covers. Each piece of PPE was significant to
