molecular weight is 151.2 g/mol. The melting point of pure compound is in the range of 169-172 ℃. During lab Paracetamol medication was dissolved in water‚ purified and recrystallized again. The purpose of the experiment was to learn basic recrystallization techniques that include hot and cold filtration. During experimental procedure sample was purified and its final melting point was measured. Procedure 1.0 g of impure Paracetamol was added to the flask with 2 boiling chips. 30 mL of distilled

EXPERIMENT 4: Synthesis of Salicylic Acid from Wintergreen Oil Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to take methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) and by heating it under reflux with NaOH as a solvent‚ and then cooling the mixture with H2SO4 as another solvent‚ synthesize salicylic acid. The final step involves purify the product to produce as pure a sample of salicylic acid as possible. This process allowed for the successful production of 1.406g salicylic acid‚ an 82.70% yield.

Sarah Muhs ID: 11325862 Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Post Lab: 1. Is the ester group of your starting material electron donating or withdrawing? Support your conclusion with resonance drawings. The ester group‚ CO2CH3‚ of the starting material was electron withdrawing. 2. Draw the mechanism of the nitronium ion reaction with the methylbenzoate. 3. Why does water stop the reaction? Water stops the reaction because of Le Châtlier’s principle. Since water is a product‚ when more is added it drives

Title: Experiment 28: Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Objective: The students will learn to nitrate methyl benzoate through electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. They will learn the importance of regiochemistry in chemical reactions. They might experience disubstitution through a high temperature. Reactions: Observation: The crystals started to form when added 2 g of crushed ice. The addition of hot methanol dissociated the crystals. The crystals reappeared when cooled down in

began by weighing 4.0ml of methyl salicylate into a flask—a stir bar was added. While stirring‚ 40ml of 6M sodium hydroxide was added and the solution was heated and boiled for about 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes‚ a bit of water was used to wash down the sides of the flask and the solution was cooled. It was boiled for another 15 minutes‚ after this the solution was cooled for 5 minutes in an ice water bath. While the flaks was in the ice bath‚ 50ml of 6M hydrochloric acid was added in 5ml increments

acetanilide from a mixture by recrystallization. Compare the melting points of crude and recrystallized acetanilide. Introduction : The most common method of purifying solid organic compounds is by recrystallization. In this technique‚ an impure solid compound is dissolved in a solvent and then allowed to slowly crystallize out as the solution cools. As the compound crystallizes from the solution‚ the molecules of the other compounds dissolved in solution are excluded from the growing
