RECYCLING ALUMINUM PURPOSE To determine the mass of a hydrated aluminum potassium sulfate salt in a sample of impure scrap aluminum from a common beverage can. The sample will be passed through a filter paper using a funnel‚ after being boiled on a hot plate in a fume hood and dissolved in a solution of potassium hydroxide to remove the impurities. By adding an excess of sulfuric acid and cooling the solution in an ice bath‚ the technique of vacuum filtration using a Buchner funnel will be employed

CALCULATIONS Determining the amount Limiting Reagent used. nlimiting reagent = Molarity x Volume or Mass / Molar Mass Example: Limiting reagent is 5mL of 1.0 M HCl nlimiting reagent = Molarity x Volume nlimiting reagent = (1.0 [mol/L]) x 0.005 [L]) = 0.005 mol Determining the qrxn and qcal. qrxn + qcal = 0 -qrxn = qcal qrxn = ΔHrxn x nlimiting reagent qcal = Ccal ΔT qrxn = - Ccal ΔT + mcsolid ΔT (note: only if there is a precipitate formed in the reaction)

Extraction and Quantitative Determination of B-Carotene Introduction The study of B-Carotene is important because it is good for vision‚ immunity‚ and overall health. The purpose of this experiment is to extract and find quantitative amount of Beta-carotene from a carrot sample. The raw product(carrots) was extracted using simple distillation. The purity of the product will be characterized using percent yield‚ thin layer chromatography‚ Beer’s Law‚ and UV-vis. Beer’s law is used because in this

Looking back at the research question‚ the actual amount of reactant did not match the theoretical stoichiometric amounts according to the balanced equation‚ but the amount of catalyst matched the original value when uncertainty is taken into account. The percent yields for the reactants in the equation are very far from 100% yield. In the case of water‚ the percent yield came out to be meaning there were at least 2 times to 4 times more water than there should be. The percent yield of oxygen came

Yield of CuCl2.2DMSO Formula weight (Mr) of CuCl2 = 63.55 + (35.45 x 2) =134.45g/mol Formula weight of product CuCl2.2DMSO = 134.45 + 2[16 + 32.06 + (12.01 x 2) + (1.0079 x 6)] = 290.704g/mol Mass of CuCl2= 0.850g Equation for reaction CuCl2 + 2DMSO -> CuCl22DMSO Mole ratio between CuCl2 and CuCl22DMSO = 1:1 Mole of CuCl2 = Mass/ Mr = 0.850/134.45 = 0.00632 moles Since the ratio between CuCl2 and CuCl22DMSO = 1:1‚ mole of CuCl2DMSO is also 0.0063 moles.

Bromination of Acetanilide Objective: The objective of this experiment was to use melting point and NMR to determine which of two isomers‚ ortho or para‚ would most likely form after brominating Acetanilide through electrophilic aromatic substitution. Procedure/Observations: 1. Weigh out ~280 mg of acetanilide in a 10 mL r.b. flask with a stir bar. 2. Then‚ add 2.0 mL of glacial acetic acid using a calibrated Pasteur pipet. 3. Stir the mixture until all of the acetanilide has dissolved

October 9‚ 2013 Partner(s): Acetylsalicylic Acid Synthesis Theory. This experiment was carried out to see how the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring in salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester‚ and to make aspirin. Synthesis of Acetylsalicylic Acid occurs by protonation of carbonyl (C=O) group‚ and a nucleophilic attack of OH on the acetic anhydride. The ferric chloride test and melting point were used to test the purity of the results. A hypothesized recovery rater of above

SCH 3U0 May 7th 2013 Percent Yield of Calcium Carbonate Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the percent yield of a precipitate in a double displacement reaction. A solution of calcium citrate and sodium carbonate were mixed together‚ then the products were filtered out as so only the precipitate remained. The filtered paper was then dried and the mass of the precipitate in the experiment divided by the theoretical mass of the precipitate from the calculated gave the

Introduction Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole with acetic anhydride was used in this experiement to synthesize 4-methoxyacetophenone with the use of a reflux apparatus. Friedel-Crafts reactions can be done by alkylation‚ which involves mixing an alkyl or acyl halide with a Lewis acid‚ or acylation‚ which is done with acid chlorides or anhydrides(Lefevre). Acylation was used because it does not have as many disadvantages aklyations reactions have such as polyalkylation‚ second electrophilic attacks
