EXPERIMENT 4 LAB REPORT TITLE: PREPARATION OF CYCLOHEXENE FROM CYCLOHEXANOL Paula Kata Partners: Ilai Bula S11099863 Eremasi Matin Abstract This work looks at preparation of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol which involves as part of an elimination reaction. The required reagent of concentrated sulfuric acid as one of the catalyst and water which allow the mixing known as washing the cyclohexene with water

Course Instructor Maureen Wilson Lab Title Preparation of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol Aim Preparation of an Alkene by dehydration of an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. Calculate the percentage recovery of products. Test for purity and identification of products. Abstract Cyclohexene and cyclohexanol are both colourless aromatic compounds. The major difference between the two is the presence of the hydroxyl group present in cyclohexanol. This hydroxyl group can be removed by a process

Montessori way of teaching mathematic is truly a wonderful and interesting way to learn the concepts of mathematics. Mathematic is very important for our daily life. Mathematic relates to numbers and numbers are around us all the time‚ so it is very important to introduce numbers to the child at very early age‚ but before you introduce numbers it is important to lay a strong foundation of practical life activities and sensorial training to the child. Practical life activities allows the child to

CYCLOHEXENE FROM CYCLOHEXANOL INTRODUCTION Alkenes can be prepared in the lab by dehydrating the corresponding alcohol. Concentrated sulphuric and phosphoric acids both act as dehydrating agents. Phosphoric acid is preferred because it gives a higher yield of the alkene. Concentrated H2SO4 reacts with alkenes. SAFETY Eye protection must be worn. Concentrated phosphoric acid is corrosive. Mop up spillages immediately with plenty of water. Cyclohexene and cyclohexanol are highly flammable

Procedure: The addition of 4.0 mL cyclohexanol‚ 1.0 mL of 85% phosphoric acid‚ and one boiling chip‚ were all added to a 10 mL round bottom flask that would be attached to the end of an assembled simple distillation set up. A sand bath was placed atop a hot plate‚ and the simple distillation mechanism was lowered into the sand bath with the bottom most piece (the 10 mL round bottom flask) submerged about half way. The distillation process was completed after a sufficient amount of liquid distillate

Experiment date:06.12.2010 Report Date: 20.12.2010 ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ the purpose was to investigate E1 elimination mechanism with the reaction of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene. The reaction was acid catalyzed dehydration of alcohol and with catalyst sulfuric acid cyclohexene was obtained from cyclohexanol. And the product was obtained from the simple distillation and later it was reacted with bromine and potassium permanganate. The observations and results were all recorded
Premium Alcohol Alkene Organic reaction
Dehydration of Alcohols Abstract The dehydration of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene can be done through fractional distillation. Once the fraction has been collected it must then be dried. The dried distillate is finally tested to determine whether or not it has been dehydrated. The three tests used were infrared spectroscopy‚ Bromine chemical test and Bayer’s chemical test. The infrared spectroscopy showed a large narrow peak at 3062.12(cm-1) and 3020.71(cm-1) which indicates that there is a double

Aliphatic hydrocarbons are divided into three classes: alkanes (e.g. methane‚ ethane and propane) have only single bonds‚ and are said to be saturated; alkenes (e.g. ethene and propene)

Laboratory #6 Qualitative Tests for Carbonyls: Aldehydes vs. Ketones Introduction Various chemical tests identifying ketones and aldehydes are used in this experiment in order to identify an unknown carbonyl compound. The tests used are: 2‚4-dinitrophenylhydrazone test‚ Tollen’s Test‚ Benedict’s Test‚ Chromic Acid Test‚ aka Bordwell-Wellman Test‚ Schiff’s Test‚ and Iodoform Test. These classification tests provide results based on color change or formation of precipitation‚ which is then used

sulfate than cyclohexanol‚ excess anhydrous sodium sulfate may lead to the absorption of cyclohexane and thus loss of product. Anhydrous sodium sulfate absorbs water due to its polarity and therefore may also absorb cyclohexanol because of its polar O-H bond. If too much anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to the solution‚ part of the product would be absorbed too and thus a yield of less than 100% would be produced. 2. Lithium aluminum hydride would also reduce cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol. List three
