a sweetener: Ace K I chose this particular sweetener because I have never heard of it until now and it sparked my interest. 2. Explore the history of the sweetener (when it was developed‚ its composition). Ace K is short for Acesulfame Potassium‚ or sometimes just Acesulfame K. It is also often called by the names: Sunett‚ Sweet One‚ and Sweet ’n Safe. Ace K was discovered by Hoechst scientists in Frankfurt‚ Germany‚ in 1967. It is a calorie-free sweetener that is used and approved in

to a ketone with household bleach. The product is then isolated by steam distillation and is extracted into the distillate with ether. After the removal of ether‚ it leaves the product cyclohexanone. In experiment 6‚ cyclohexanone is oxidized by potassium permanganate. Manganese dioxide is filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated‚ acidified with hydrochloric acid and then cooled to yield crystalline adipic acid. OBJECTIVE: Experiment 4: To recover cyclohexanone from the oxidation of cyclohexanol

LAB REPORT 4 DETERMINING AN EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT CAUSION 1. Potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) is hazardous 2. Wear protective material before performing the experiment. INTRODUCTION This experiment outlines the techniques necessary to determine the equilibrium constant for the formation of an iron(III) thiocyanate complex ion (FeSCN2+) from Fe3+ and SCN- .

first part (Part B) benzoin was oxidized using nitric acid to make benzyl as a product. This reaction is characterized by the orange gas of nitrogen oxide that is liberated as a byproduct of the reaction. In Part C the benzyl was combined first with potassium hydroxide to make the carboxylate salt intermediate and second with hydrochloric acid to from the benzylic acid. For both reactions the organic compound was the limiting reagent‚ so one mole of product is expected for each mole of organic reagent

Potassium Argon Dating Potassium-Argon dating is a form of radiometric dating which tells us the absolute age of rocks. Practically all elements are radioactive to some extent‚ some more than others. Moreover‚ different isotopes of elements are more radioactive than others. Isotopes are forms of a particular atom that varies in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. For instance‚ K-40 is a naturally occurring isotope of Potassium is far more radioactive than its siblings K-39 and K-41 because K-40

monosaccharide reducing sugar (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’ Handbook for Biology HL Year 1). It is the simplest form of carbohydrate. In this experiment‚ sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 and potassium permanganate‚ KMnO4 is added into glucose with different concentration and the time taken for the purple pink colour of potassium permanganate solution to change to colourless is recorded. This is because glucose donates electrons to the permanganate ions‚ causing it to change colour (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’

formation of a white ring around the glass closer to the side of the heavier substance (HCl‚ M = 36.4611 g/mole; dAve = 10.8 cm). The agar-water gel set up was composed of a petri dish of agar-water gel containing three wells. Drops of potassium permanganate (KMnO4)‚ potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue were simultaneously introduced to each well. Methylene blue‚ having the largest molecular weight‚ displayed the smallest diameter (18 mm) and diffused at the slowest rate (0.3668 mm/min.). Thus

of the iron(II) salt in an unknown sample. We performed titrations using Potassium permanganate which is a strong oxidizing agent‚ with unknown sample dissolved in deionized water. The result of the experiment was a 99.5% purity for the anhydrous iron (II) ammonium sulfate. Introduction: In this experiment‚ oxidation/reduction (or redox) will be used in the titration analysis of an iron compound. We will use potassium permanganate‚ KMnO4‚ as the titrant in the analysis of an unknown sample
