a Grignard compound with the reagents bromobenzene and magnesium metal. The bromobenzene was first transformed into the Grignard compound and was then reacted with the benzophenone to make the final product. The mixture was then mixed with sulfuric acid and the organic layer was extracted via a separatory funnel. The mixture was then recrystallized from methanol and was allowed to dry and the percent yield‚ melting point‚ and the IR was obtained. The mass of the product obtained was 5.45 grams and

Alka-Seltzer is one of the world’s best known antacids. Its main function is to absorb excess stomach acid. II. MATERIALS: * Tap Water - Warm Water * Cold Water - Salt Water * Acidic Water -5 cups (250 mL of water in each cup) * A whole Alka-Seltzer tablet III. HYPOTHESIS: My hypothesis is that the Alka-Seltzer tablet

Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to produce isopentyl acetate‚ banana oil. Acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol were used to synthesize isopentyl acetate. The techniques used for the separation and purification of isopentyl acetate were reflux‚ liquid-liquid extraction‚ neutralization and distillation. The identification of isopentyl acetate was based on boiling points and an infrared spectrum. This experiment resulted in a 11.68% yield. The reactants

in the food that we eat today. For example‚ fruit flavoring is a chemical mixture that mimics a natural flavor as that of banana flavor from the synthesis of isoamyl acetate. Ester is the functional group‚ which is responsible for the distinctive odor and taste that artificial fruit flavoring has. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids. A carboxylic acid contains the –COOH group‚ and in an ester the hydrogen in this group is replaced by a hydrocarbon group of some kind. This could be an alkyl group

tert-butyl alcohol was reacted with cold concentrated HCl to produce tert-butyl chloride. The crude product was distilled to yield a pure tert-butyl chloride. The tert-butyl alcohol‚ together with HCl‚ underwent an SN1 nucleophilic substitution reaction‚ which is composed of three steps—(1) propanation of alcoholic oxygen‚ (2) formation of carbocation‚ and (3) attacking of the nucleophile to the carbocation. The experiment was only able to yield 0.504 grams or 5.21% of the theoretical yield of 9

DNA synthesis inhibitors Nucleic acid inhibitors are chemicals which inhibit the production of nucleic acids including both DNA and RNA. DNA and RNA inhibitors inhibit enzyme action in DNA replication in the same way as the topoisomerase inhibitors we discussed earlier. Topoisomerase inhibitors (1) (10) are chemicals which interfere with the enzymes that allow DNA strands to separate and to re-join‚ a process that is required for the division of bacteria and without which DNA cannot effectively

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was renowned writer‚ economist‚ and feminist. She fought for women’s rights in the early 1900’s. Because of her writing talents‚ her views and beliefs could easily be spread. Gilman is most known for her short story titled “The Yellow Wallpaper” and a non-fiction named Women and Economics. Not only did she write books‚ she also wrote and created a magazine‚ The Forerunner. Although she had a strenuous and difficult life‚ Gilman influenced many. On July 3‚ 1860 in

SYNTHESIS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL ASPIRIN (ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID) AIM: The aim for this experiment was to synthesise a small amount of aspirin with salicylic acid as the starting product and sulphuric acid as the catalyst. The product obtained from this reaction will be impure and will need to be purified. This will be done by recrystallization. We will then record the products’ melting point and calculate the yield in order to determine the degree of purity of the aspirin sample. Diagrammatic scheme
