RECRYSTALLISATION PRESNTED BY Mariam SeiduPriscilla TweneboahEvans Appiah-Kubi 3796509 Yaw Adu PokuEric Adjei 3809009 INTRODUCTION Recrystallization is a method of purifying a solid. There are two types of impurities: those more soluble in a given solvent than the main component and those less soluble. (If there are any impurities that have the same solubility as the main component‚ then a different solvent needs to be chosen.) When organic

Experiment #5: Esterification of Methyl Benzoate from Benzoic Acid October 28‚ 2010 Abstract: This experiment was conducted to synthesize methyl benzoate from benzoic acid and methanol by using the Fischer esterification method. Methanol (12.5ml) and Benzoic acid (4.9 grams) are heated together in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (1.5ml) until equilibrium is achieved. A reflux apparatus is set up for 1 hour to carry out the reaction at the boiling point of the solvent (Methanol

TWO-BASE EXTRACTION OF BENZOIC ACID‚ 2-NAPHTHOL‚ AND NAPHTHALENE FROM UNKNOWN SAMPLE # 131 Douglas G. Balmer (T.A. Mike Hall) Dr. Dailey Submitted 11 July 2007 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a sample of benzoic acid‚ 2- naphthol‚ and naphthalene of unknown proportions using a two-base extraction method. The three components of the mixture will react differently to sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide because each of the bases’ conjugate acids has a different pKa

Acid-Base Extraction: Separation of an Organic Acid‚ Base and a Neural Compound Introduction/Background Acid base extraction is a widely used commercial method in separating acids‚ bases and neutral compounds. This is concept is based on several physical properties of the compounds‚ such as boiling point‚ melting points and solubility. The different solubility properties of the protonated and non-protonated forms of these compounds depend on the functional groups present‚ such

Harper Chemical Jeffrey Gomez February 5‚ 2013 Introduction Harper Chemical’s forecasting for its new project called Domanite was very inaccurate. Expenses were estimated with a failure to account for unexpected expenditures‚ and spending was not regulated well. Sales figure estimates were inflated‚ and did not account for the difficulty of opening a new market. Unexpected Losses It was originally estimated that the sales volume of Domanite would hit 55‚000 tons per year by 1983.

Jell-O Lab Guiding Question: Are some laundry detergents better than others? Purpose: We intend to test if the cost of a detergent affects its quality but putting 3 drops of Jell-O into 25mL of Jell-O and examining how much of the Jell-O dissolves. Hypothesis: If the cost of the detergent increases‚ then the amount of Jell-O dissolved will increase by 0.3 cm. Materials/Equipments: * 4-1mL Pipettes * 5cm long standard drinking straw with a diameter of .6cm. * Jell-O brand

Esteva Group 4 2B Medical Technology Organic Chemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ acetanilide was used as the pure organic compound. Acetylation of aniline and acetic anhydride yields the crude product or crude acetanilide. The crude acetanilide was purified by dissolving it in hot water and then the solution was cooled slowly by placing in
