Determination of the Concentration of Acetic Acid in Vinegar Lab Exercise 4 CHEM 1106 9/19/12 Purpose: Standardize a sodium hydroxide solution using a primary standard acid. Determine the molarity and the percent by mass of acetic acid in vinegar by titration with the standardized sodium hydroxide solution. Introduction: Vinegar is a dilute solution containing acetic acid. Since vinegar has a low pH‚ it can be titrated with a base. Titration is a method used in order to ascertain

Date of Experiment: September 10th‚ 2013 Organic Chemistry II – CHLB330 Name: Symone E. MoxeyLab Partner: Lynden Cooper Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Abstract:- Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is produced experimentally in the lab. The resulting percentage yield is 65.5%. The purity of the obtained product is tested using the melting point and Ferric Chloride Test (FCT). The aspirin was massed‚ and the melting point was determined. Based on the data collected‚ there was a total

Lab: Comparison of Three Isomers of Butanol Pre-lab: 1. Write the general reaction of an alcohol and HCl. 2. What would the solubility be of an alcohol in water. 3. What would the solubility be of an alkyl halide in water? 4. What is the purpose of KMnO4 in the reactions? Safety: Concentrated hydrochloric acid is corrosive and the vapour is very irritating to the respiratory system. Avoid contact with skin‚ eyes‚ clothing‚ and the lab bench. Wear eye protection and a lab apron.

Acids and Bases Are Everywhere Every liquid you see will probably have either acidic or basic traits. Water (H2O) can be both an acid and a base‚ depending on how you look at it. It can be considered an acid in some reactions and a base in others. Water can even react with itself to form acids and bases. It happens in really small amounts‚ so it won’t change your experiments at all. It goes like this: 2H2O --> H2O + H+ + OH- --> H3O+ + OH- See how the hydrogen ion was transferred? Most of the

Acetylsalicylic Acid in Aspirin ------------------------------------------------- Purpose The purpose of the lab is to determine the mass of the ‘active ingredient’ in a commercial ASA tablet. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Introduction There are three main theories surrounding acids and bases including the Arrhenius‚ Bronsted-Lowry‚ and Lewis theories. The Arrhenius theory of acids and bases states that acids produce hydrogen

Billy Kong Chem&163 Lab Report 1 Analysis of Acids‚ Bases‚ pH and Salt Purpose: Explore various methods for determining the characteristics of acid/base solution. The goal of this experiment include the investigation of various acid/base indicators‚ calculating the change of pH with concentration‚ change of pH due to the addition of salt and different between strong and weak acids/bases. Safety and Disposal: Use extreme caution when handling concentrated acids and bases. Dispose of all

I will also mention the time which was taken in the experiment‚ to see how fast the hydrochloric acid took with indigestion tablet with different concentrations. Indigestion tablets are alkali and they are used for to neutralise the excess acid in the stomach. Indigestion Tablet Indigestion is caused by excess acid in the stomach. The tablets neutralise some of this Acid and this is known as ‘Neutralization’ since it neutralizes the acid. In this

Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface
