Also known as "benzoate of soda‚" sodium benzoate is an FDA-approved‚ polyunsaturated fat that has been used by food manufacturers for over 80 years to inhibit microbial growth. As a food additive it is used as a preservative‚ effectively killing most yeasts‚ bacteria and fungi. Sodium benzoate is effective only in acidic conditions (pH < 3.6) making its use most prevalent in foods such as preserves‚ salad dressings (vinegar)‚ carbonated drinks (carbonic acid)‚ jams (citric acid)‚ fruit juices (citric

the effect of concentration of thiosulphate on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid. Introduction: Word Equation for the reaction: Balanced Symbol Equation for the reaction: Observations during the reaction: • A yellow precipitate of Sulphur starts to form and the reaction mixture goes cloudy. • A colourless‚ poisonous gas of sulphur dioxide is given off. • Sodium Chloride (salt) and Water also form. The salt dissolves in the solution‚ and

quickly. One chemical that is made industrially is sodium thiosulfate. Sodium thiosulfate solution is sold in a range of concentrations. Dilute solutions of sodium thiosulfate can be used for cleaning contact lenses and used as a medicine for some cancer patients. Concentrated solutions are used to treat spillages of some chemicals. Sodium thiosulfate is safe to handle and store‚ but if it is mixed with an acid‚ a reaction happens. When dilute sodium thiosulfate is mixed with an acid‚ solid sulphur

From the experiment‚ it was determined that Sodium chloride had a crystalline structure‚ even after being broken into smaller pieces with a hammer. Even though there was two different types of Sodium chloride‚ coarse and fine‚ they still had a symmetrical‚ three-dimensional shape. All ionic compounds have this structure. It was also found that Sodium chloride had a high melting point and sugar had a low melting point. This is because Sodium chloride is ionic and the bonds holding it together take

Sodium borohydride Reduction of Benzil Introduction: The Purpose of this experiment is for the students to learn how to use sodium borohydride to reduce benzil to its secondary alcohol product via reduction reaction. This two-step reaction reduces aldehydes by hydrides to primary alcohols‚ and ketones to secondary alcohols. In order for the reaction to occur and to better control the stereochemistry and yield of the product‚ the metal hydride nucleophile of the reducing agents such as LiH‚ LiAlH4

Preparation of t-Butyl-Chloride March 8 & 15‚ 2012 Theory: Alkyl halides can be synthesized when alcohols react with hydrogen halides. An alkyl halide is a halogen-substituted alkane‚ and a hydrogen halide is a compound consisting of a hydrogen bonded to a halogen (H-X). Alkyl halides are classified as primary‚ secondary‚ or tertiary depending on the number of alkyl substituents directly attached to the carbon bearing the halogen atom. The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to prepare
