determine whether Salicylic Acid made from methyl salicylate is the same as Salicylic Acid made from benzene. This information can be found by comparing the difference in melting points of the two samples of Salicylic Acid. Here are the physical properties of Salicylic Acid and the mechanism of reactions that occurred in this lab. How Salicylic Acid is derived: Procedure/Results First‚ .26mL of 2.0mmol methyl Salicylate was measured and put into a reaction vial along with 2.5mL of 6M

The purpose of this experiment was to perform a wittig reaction‚ the horner-emmons wittig specifically‚ reacting an aldehyde with an ylide to make an alkene. This particular variation of the wittig reaction has several advantages: It gives only the trans product; it uses a much milder base that is easier to handle; and it gives a water soluble byproduct which is easy to separate from the product. The reason that these advantages occur is a change in the structure of the ylide. Instead of a tripheylphosphine

#15 Synthesis of Ethyl Salicylate from Salicylic Acid ____________________________________________________________ _______________ Purpose: Salicylic acid is converted to the liquid ethyl salicylate by addition of ethanol. Yields of salicylic acid (week 1) and ethyl salicylate will be found‚ as well as the overall yield of the 2-step conversion of acetyl salicylic acid to ethyl salicylate. Introduction: Esters are formed from the reaction of acids and alcohols: O O

Report Written: 08/02/2009 Synthesis of Acetyl salicylic acid (Aspirin) Abstract Introduction: The following report contains information on how to produce aspirin. The experiment has been carried out on a small laboratory scale. The experiment starts by combining such chemicals such as salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. The synthesis of aspirin is classified as an esterification reaction. This is a substitution reaction where the alcohol group from salicylic acid reacts with ascetic anhydride

For known amounts of reactants‚ theoretical amounts of product can be calculated in a chemical process. These calculated products are determined using the limiting reagent‚ (the substance that runs out first which stops the reaction) and are called the theoretical yield. The theoretical yield is the amount of product that should be acquired during the experiment if all aspects go perfectly. However‚ due to experimental errors‚ very few labs do so. These results are called actual yield. The percent

Aim: The aim of my experiment is to find out the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric acid (HCL) and Magnesium (Mg) in different temperatures. The products that will be formed are Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) and Hydrogen (H2). Prediction: I predict that as the temperature increases the rate of reaction also increases. To further explore the fact I further predict that the rate of reaction will double for every 10° C rise in temperature. I further predict as the temperature rises by 10° C the rate

Some metals react with acids while others do not. In this experiment‚ students will perform 2 reactions: aluminum/zinc with excess 6M hydrochloric acid and aluminum-zinc alloy with excess 6M hydrochloric acid. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the atomic mass of each metal and the percent composition of a known mass aluminum-zinc alloy by determining the moles of H2 gas formed. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) 1 mole of H2(g) is produced for every 1 mole of Zn(s) 2. 2Al(s)

A Brief History of Frances Perkins Born in Boston‚ Maine in 1880‚ Frances Perkins came from a respectable middle-class Republican family. At a very young age‚ Perkins’s parents strongly encouraged her to live her life on earth for God and do something good in her lifetime to please not only her parents‚ but God as well (Frances Perkins‚ 2010). She later on enrolled at Mount Holyoke College and studied natural sciences‚ but had a strong interest in economic history and social reform issues as
