Experiment Acids‚ Bases‚ and Neutrals Problem Are common house-hold products pH balanced and neutral? Information Gathered pH measures how acidic or alkaline a solution is. The pH scale ranges from 0-14. Solutions that range from 0-6 are considered to be acidic. Solutions that are on the acidic end of the scale are low in pH‚ high in hydrogen ion‚ and low in hydroxyl ions. An acid has a sour taste‚ hence‚ will react to metal and will be corrosive; therefore‚ they are considered as an electrolyte

Classification Tests for Carboxylic Acid and Derivatives Mary Catherine Sarte‚ John Emmanuel Sy‚ Allurie Umel‚Franklin Yap‚ Mary Christine YouIntroduction Carboxylic acids derivatives are simply groupsof compounds that contain a carbonyl group butwith an electronegative atom attached to thecarbon. The difference in the structure leads to amajor change in reactivity. The reactions of thesegroups of compounds involve nucleophilicsubstitution. Although there are abundant kindsof carboxylic acid derivatives‚ the

Synthesis of Phenols You can prepare phenols in large quantities by the pyrolysis of the sodium salt of benzene sulfonic acid‚ by the Dow process‚ and by the air oxidation of cumene. Each of these processes is described below. You can also prepare small amounts of phenol by the peroxide oxidation of phenylboronic acid and the hydrolysis of diazonium salts. Pyrolysis of sodium benzene sulfonate In this process‚ benzene sulfonic acid is reacted with aqueous sodium hydroxide. The resulting salt

Properties of Alcohols and Phenols Experiment #3 Objectives: To observe the solubility of alcohols relative to their chemical structure‚ to perform chemical tests to distinguish primary‚ secondary and tertiary alcohols‚ and a color test for phenol. Introduction The general formula of an alcohol is ROH in which the R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. Alcohols may be looked upon as derivatives of water‚ HOH. One hydrogen of water is substituted by an alkyl group‚ R. Like water‚ alcohols show hydrogen

Experiment #1: Separation of Acid‚ Base‚ and Neutral Compounds from a Solid Mixture by Liquid-Liquid Extraction Introduction Liquid-liquid extraction is a technique used to separate chemical substances in order to purify or identify the various components of a mixture. Flavors‚ spices‚ perfumes‚ and medicines are just some of the everyday things that are extracted from plants and other natural sources [1]. The basic principle used to carry out this separation is the mixing of two liquids that are

Phenol‚ also known as carbolic acid‚ is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (-C6H5) bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH). It is mildly acidic‚ but requires careful handling due to its propensity to cause chemical burns. Phenol was first extracted from coal tar‚ but today is produced on a large scale (about 7 billion kg/year) from petroleum. It is an important industrial commodity as a

Total Carbohydrates Using the Phenol-Sulfuric Acid Method This lab introduced the students to analyzing carbohydrate content using a spectrophotometer and phenol-sulfuric acid methods. Virginia Smith 983976633 Lab Partner: Jeff Martz Due Date: 3-22-11 Introduction The objective of this lab was to have students use a spectrophotometer to analyze the carbohydrate content in the sample. Phenol-sulfuric acid methods were also applied to

We underwent two different reaction schemes using Dipotassium phosphate (K2HPO4) and Potassium hydroxide (KOH) to isolate the compounds of pure Acetylsalicylic Acid/Aspirin and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) Ethanimidate/Acetaminophen respectively from Excedrin. The first reaction scheme to undergo acid-base organic extraction was to isolate the most acidic compound in Excedrin with a weak base‚ K2HPO4. We isolated the aspirin using aqueous base extraction‚ with Dipotassium phosphate then treated with HCl
