Recrystallization and Melting Point of Benzoic Acid Organic Chemistry 1 10/4/12 Abstract Recrystallization was done to remove impurities from the sample. The percent recovery of benzoic acid during recrystallization is 23.02%. The difference between the pure and impure samples was observed by comparison of melting points. It was found that impure sample had a lower and wider melting point range of 120.1-122.2 (C). The pure sample melting point range was 121.3-122.5 (C). These ranges helped determine

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

In this experiment‚ we used methyl benzoate from the last experiment with HNO3 and H2SO4 to synthesize methyl 3-nitrobenzoate. First we added methyl benzoate to 12 mL cooled conc. Sulfuric acid in a flask. In a separate flask‚ we made a solution of 4 mL conc. Sulfuric acid and 4 mL nitric acid and then added dropwise to the solution of methyl benzoate in an ice bath on a stir plate while maintaining the temperature of reaction between 5-15 °C. After the addition was complete we took the flask out

in a sample. Primarily‚ the aim of Experiment 1 was to measure the absorption spectrum of a particular coloured substance (in this case Bromophenol Blue and Methyl Orange) at varying wavelengths of light. The goal of this experiment was to measure the given amounts of a given chemical substance that was present in a given sample of Methyl Orange and in blood. We measured the optical density at wavelengths 400 to 700 in intervals of 20 mu. For Experiment 2‚ the process of the experiment focuses on

Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Abstract: This procedure demonstrates the nitration of methyl benzoate to prepare methyl m-nitrobenzoate. Methyl benzoate was treated with concentrated Nitric and Sulfuric acid to yield methyl m-nitrobenzoate. The product was then isolated and recrystallized using methanol. This reaction is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction‚ in which the nitro group replaces a proton of the aromatic ring. Following recrystallization‚ melting point and infrared

Introduction Recrystallization is a method used to purify solid organic compounds. Using the recrystallization technique‚ a solid compound is dissolved in a solvent and the compound slowly crystallizes as the solution cools. Using a filtration technique‚ a pure solid is produced when the molecules of the impure particles in the compound are excluded from the crystal lattice. After obtaining the pure compound‚ a melting point determination procedure can be done using a mel-temp device to correctly
