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%

extraction wherein a solution containing a mixture of compounds is shaken with a second solvent that is immiscible with it. The percent yield calculated was 59.23%. The characteristics of the synthesized ester were liquid‚ oily‚ and it had a banana smell. Introduction Artificial flavoring is commonly used in the food that we eat today. For example‚ fruit flavoring is a chemical mixture that mimics a natural flavor as that of banana flavor from the synthesis of isoamyl acetate. Ester is the functional group

Synthesis and Decomposition of Zinc Iodide Partners: Sonya Pasia and Kristen Kobayashi CH 085-01 20 September 2011 Zinc Iodide (ZnI2) was an interesting binary compound to experiment with. In this experiment‚ weakly acidified water (25mL distilled water with 18 drops 5M acetic acid solution) was used as an aid to bring molecules of the zinc and iodide atoms together‚ by dissolving iodine molecules‚ so that bonding would transpire to produce a reaction. Deprived of water‚ the Zn and I2

The Chilean Copper Mine Collapse Ryan Moorer BCOM/275 5/21/2013 Bettie Brown On August 5‚ 2010 the world watched as reports came in from Chile‚ a small copper mine caved-in leaving 33 mine workers trapped underground (Weik‚ 2010). Initial reports did not know if there were any survivors. It was 17 days before any contact was made with the trapped miners (Hughes‚ 2010). The family members and the rest of the world were relieved to know that all of the miners had survived the collapse. The

this is significant activity of the neurons to allow us to understand abnormality in the nerve that cause disorders. The objective of this study was to trigger a compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) and examine the effects of a stimulus voltage on a nerve and inspect their threshold‚ refractory period and also their velocity. Compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) are summed action potential of one nerve‚ one nerve consists of many neurons. We used the sciatic Lithobates pipiens nerve in this

How do ionic compounds form? How do electrons change the shape of a molecule? These are just a couple of the questions that this paper will answer. How do ionic compounds form? Ionic compounds are formed by positive and negative ions. An ionic bond means that there are valence electrons being shared between the two molecules. This can cause the molecule to become negative or positively charged. An ionic compound is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal and the

Hydrogen is recognized as the simplest and lightest chemical element in the periodic table; even though it is identified as one of the top elements in abundance in the world (consisting of 0.9 percent of the total mass on earth)‚ it is considered to be the most abundant element in the entire universe. It is a gaseous element with the atomic symbol being H. It is usually categorized under the first group of the periodic table known as the alkali metals. It contains only one electron that revolves
