expected melting point. After its temperature reached the plateau‚ the temperature increment was set at 1°C per minute‚ and the melting point range of 152°C-154°C was recorded. After standardizing the melting device‚ a small sample of unknown carboxylic acid was placed in a capillary tube‚ and an arbitrary plateau of 200°C was set. When the sample started to melt at 150°C‚ another capillary tube containing a small amount of unknown sample was placed in the melting device‚ and the plateau was set to 135°C

Melissa Carrithers AP Chemistry period 6 2-11-15 Determination of Ka of Weak Acids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the strength of weak acids by determining the equilibrium constants for their ionization reactions in water. Is to use their measured pH values to calculate the pKa for the two unknown weak acids thus determining their identities. Hypothesis: If we neutralize a solution that contains a weak acid by adding a strong base to the solution‚ then the ions will be isolated and

Determination of the Equilibrium Constant for Ferric Thiocyanate In this laboratory exercise‚ the equilibrium constant(Kc) for the reaction between the Ferric Ion (Fe3+) and the Thiocyanate Ion (SCN-) was determined. After measuring the absorbance of the Ferric Thiocyanate‚ and carrying out some calculations; it was determined that Kc=130.81M Introduction: Chemical equilibrium is established when a reaction exists in a state where the forward reaction rate is equal to its reverse reaction

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
