synthesizing the salicylaldehyde is advantageous because it has a very high yield of 88%.1 It also uses many of the techniques that undergraduate students have already learned such as vacuum filtration‚ drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate‚ and recrystallization. An alternative method in which one can synthesize chiral epoxides is

acid and dissolved some impurities from the crystal of aspirin. The aspirin was then isolated from the solution using a vacuum filtration apparatus. The percent yield of crude aspirin product was 91.89%. To purify the crude aspirin product a recrystallization procedure was performed. The percent yield of the purified aspirin product was 5.77%. Next a phenol test was performed on the crude aspirin product‚ the purified aspirin product‚ and salicylic acid as a control. The phenol test was to test the

In the experiment done in this lab‚ a mixture of and a neutral compound and either an acid or base impurity will be separated by an acid-base extraction. The unknown compound will then be purified by recrystallization and identified by melting points. Experimental Discussion The solubility of the basic component was manipulated to show that the basic compound was ether insoluble and water soluble. The extraction experiment with HCl shows that the

Abstract: The objective of the experiment was to prepare Benzilic acid by multistep synthesis starting with benzaldehyde. In this setup however‚ product of the first step‚ Benzoin‚ is provided thereby omitting the first step involving the conversion of benzaldehyde. For this experiment‚ the microscale techniques of reflux‚ crystallization‚ and melting-point determination were used. Utilizing these techniques a product yield of 93% for benzil and 57% for Benzilic acid was obtained‚ as well as

PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY LAB I Experiment 2 Separation Of Mixtures INTRODUCTION A mixture can simply be defined as a substance that is made up or consists of two or more elements and/or compounds that are physically combined but that have not reacted chemically to form new substances. A mixture may be a solid‚ liquid‚ gas‚ or some combination of those states. Mixtures can be found almost every wher in our everyday lifes and some common examples are * sand and water * salt and water

Introduction: In the lab‚ Bromide was combined with trans-cinnamic acid in order to see if the resulting product at the end of the experiment would yield either an erythro- or threo-dibromide. Based on how well this experiment was done there is a possible product that would have a melting point around 95°C‚ threo-‚ 205°C‚ erythro-‚ or somewhere in the middle which would be a combination of the two. The process of refluxing was used to purify the mixture followed by crystallization. In the end
