Experiment 4 Synthesis of Salicylic Acid Introduction Throughout history‚ botanical extracts have been used as medicines. Approximately 30% of all medicines have a plant origin. This number increases to 60% if you consider medicines that at one time were derived from plants‚ but have been synthesized in the laboratory. Salicylic acid is a white crystalline compound that can be isolated from the bark of birch trees. Since it is a valuable substance that can be isolated from nature‚ it is called

Coursework Rates of Reaction Research The rate of reaction tells us how quickly a chemical reaction takes place. It is important for people in industry to know how fast a reaction goes. They have to know exactly how much of their product they can make each hour‚ day or week. In a shampoo factory‚ the rate might be 100 bottles per minute. We can’t work out the rate of a reaction from its chemical equation. Equations can only tells us how much product we can get. They don’t say how quickly

Purpose: This experiment is used to perform a series of synthesis reactions that convert aluminum foil to alum. Alum is used in cooking‚ to treat wastewater‚ and is used in common deodorant. In this lab a series of four reactions will occur to yield alum. Calculations: Aluminum foil: 0.5035 grams Alum & Watch Glass: 21.7691 grams Watch Glass: 15.1560 grams Alum: 6.6131 gram Theoretical Yield of Alum: 2Al(s) + 2KOH(aq) + 4H2SO4 + 22H20 -> 3H2(g) + 2KAl(SO4)2 + 12H2O(s) 0.5035gAl

Every skin type becomes vulnerable to lower temperature‚ but those with dry skin are especially susceptible to these concerns. According to cosmetic doctor Dr. Jules Nabet of the Omniya MediClinic in Knightsbridge‚ London‚ the humidity level drops in colder temperatures‚ and the resulting dry air leaves the skin extremely dry. If your skin already tends to be dry in the first place‚ it produces

Multistep Synthesis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Author: Instructor: Date work performed: 10.18.2012--10.25.2012 Date work submitted: 11.01.2012 Abstract: The aim of this experiment was to perform a multistep synthesis to form tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the reactions was to synthesize benzoin from the condensation of benzaldehyde. A yield of 28.91% benzoin was obtained. The MP of benzoin was 127O-130O C and the IR spectra displayed a carbonyl peak at 3415 cm-1

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%

There are eight types of chemical reactions. These eight reactions are Decomposition‚ Composition‚ Acid/Base‚ Synthesis‚ Single-Replacement‚ Double-Replacement‚ Precipitation‚ and Redox. Though these eight could be referred to as the same due to them being chemical reactions. They are actually very different. An example of this difference is Decomposition and Synthesis. Decomposition is when a compound is broken into smaller chemical species while a Synthesis reaction is two or more chemical species
