Synthesis of benzilic acid from benzoin utilizing a multi-step reaction. Names: Arian Karim TA Name: Sayantan Das Lab Day & Time: Thursday 7:30-11:40 Lab Section #: Abstract The main purpose of this experiment was to synthesize benzilic acid from benzoin. This requires a multistep synthesis with benzyl as an intermediate product. The first step required HNO3 as an oxidizing agent and the second step required KOH and HCl. The percentage yields of benzil and benzilic acid were 59.5% and 21

Reaction between Tin and Nitric Acid Introduction: Finding the products made from the components of tin metal and nitric acid is the ultimate objective of this lab; the formula of the products will be found in the CRC handbook thereafter. Procedure: First‚ obtain a clean crucible‚ and heat it under a Bunsen burner until it is as hot as possible‚ about 15 minutes within a fume hood unit. The Bunsen burner will be used under the fume hood for the entire duration of the lab. Place a crucible on a

Acid-Base Titrations A Titration of Potassium Hydroxide Phthalate and Sodium Hydroxide Hanna Piper Department of Chemistry‚ SUNY College at Brockport‚ Brockport‚ NY 14420 Chemistry 205.06 Abstract Titrations are used to find the molarity of an unknown solution. A titration begins with an analyte and titrant being used to measure the unknown molarity of the analyte. In the following experiment‚ sodium hydroxide was used as the titrant and potassium hydroxide phthalate was used as the

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to practice common organic laboratory techniques inside the lab to get one oriented to the basic methods of procedure that can be used for later experiments. This experiment involves the separation of benzoic acid from a more crude form‚ consisting of benzoic acid‚ methyl orange‚ a common acid/base indicator‚ and cellulose‚ a natural polymer of glucose (Huston‚ and Liu 17-24). The technique that is used to perform this separation is called extraction

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

Crystallization of Benzoic Acid Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to purify benzoic acid by crystallization. Procedure: 1. 0.5g impure benzoic acid was placed in a 50mL Erlenmeyer flask. 15mL of water was added and the mixture was heated to a boil on a hot plate. 0.5mL of water was added to the flask‚ while swirling the flask. The mixture was boiled until the benzoic acid completely dissolved. The total volume of water used was recorded. The black solid that remain in the dissolved

Therefore‚ the experiment was performed to conduct quality control analysis on two commercial products to determine the amount of acid or base active in these two products and then compare the results to those of the manufacture. This was done through the preparation of standardized acid solution and standardized base solution‚ and through titration. The purpose of titration was to determine the concentration levels of the commercial products being used.

also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the base. Preparation • Lab coats should be fully fastened

Introducton : The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are carbohydrates ‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Briefly‚ the meaning of macromolecules is that they normally contain two or more molecules in them and their main functions are to store energy‚ information and much more. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. While some of these compounds can be detected by taste tests‚ many cannot. Scientists then use certain tests to determine the presence of

Acid and Base Titrations: Preparing Standardized Solutions Introduction: This experiment focuses on titrations of acids and bases. A titration depends on addition of a known volume of solution and is a type of volumetric analysis. Many titrations involve either acid-base reactions or oxidation-reduction reactions. In this experiment we do one of each. We monitor the pH of the reaction with the use of a color indicator. We also learn about the standardization of bases (NaOH) and acids (HCl) which
