from the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid in a process called Fischer esterification (Fischer-Speier esterification). The name‚ banana oil‚ is due to banana odour released by formation of Isopentyl acetate. The alcohol and the carboxylic acid used in this experiment are Isopentyl alcohol and Glacial Acetic Acid. Both the overall reaction of Fischer esterification and the specific Fischer esterification reaction that was carried out in this lab is shown in figure 1. It worth mentioning that

Lab 5 The Diffraction Grating Chinua McDonald Objective: To measure the wavelength of light with a diffraction grating. Theory: The two types of diffraction gratings are the transmission and reflection gratings. They are made by ruling on a piece of glass or metal a number of evenly spaced lines with a fine diamond point. Diffraction phenomena can be analyzed in terms of Huygens’ principle‚ according to which every point on the wave front of a wave should be considered as a source

Rodney Atwaters Halle Bair May 28‚ 2013 Chemistry 36100 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to produce benzoic acid by mixing sodium benzoate with hydrochloric acid. The Hydrochloric acid used in the experiment was a stock solution made by mixing HCl Acid and deionized water. HCl acid‚ historically called‚ muriatic acid or spirits of salt‚ hydrochloric acid is produced from sulfuric acid and common salt‚ NaCl (Princeton.edu). Since the early 1900 ’s‚ sodium benzoate has been used as

Purpose/Problem Statement: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the change of heat in the water when we change the color of the bottom of the solar cooker. Independent Variable- Color of bottom of cooker Dependent Variable- Change in temperature Hypothesis- If you make the color of the bottom of the cooker darker than the water will get hotter because darker colors absorb more heat. Procedure 1. Gather materials ( attached) 2. Set up solar cooker with white bottom 3. Put beaker

In this TLC lab‚ we explored the relative polarities of Acetylsalicylic Acid‚ Ibuprofen‚ Acetaminophen‚ and Caffeine based on their functional groups. The most overall polar analgesic is considered to be the analgesic that contained the most polar function groups. The amine and amide functional groups are the most polar. In this experiment‚ we found that both these functional groups are found in Caffeine. As a result‚ Caffeine was the most polar out of Acetylsalicylic Acid‚ Ibuprofen‚ Acetaminophen

Irresistible? By Elizabeth Potter December 5‚ 2012 Lab Section 503 Abstract The over all goal of the Irresistible lab was to verify a buffer’s ability to resist changes in pH with consecutive 1mL additions of either a strong acid (HCl) or base (NaOH). The experiment entailed preparing a combination 10 buffered and non-buffered solutions and then monitoring the pH changes as a strong acid or base was added to the solution. By performing this experiment‚ it was found that with increasing amounts

caused when someone’s stomach produced excess amounts of gastric acids. One of the abundant acids is Hydrochloric Acid (HCl); this acid has a pH level of 1. When there is too much acid in our stomach‚ it rises up to the esophagus‚ which causes the burning sensation known as heartburn. You can treat this if you take antacids‚ antacids are mild bases that can help neutralize the stomach and ends heartburn. GENERAL NEUTRALIZATION EQUATION: Acid + Base = H2O + NaCl HCl + NaOH = water + salt Purpose

Based on calculations #7 made above for solving the molecular weight‚ it was identified that the unknown liquid was Butanoic acid: 88.1g/mol. Since the calculated value was 83.5 g/mol‚ it was assumed that Butanoic acid was the only solute out of all that were listed that shared a similar value. In reference to the results and data used for calculation the molecular weight (MW) for the unknown was successfully proven to match the accepted value of 88.1 g/mol. More specifically‚ this was evident due
