Experiment 11.1 Conversion of t-Amyl Alcohol to t-Amyl Chloride Using HCL October 27‚ 2011 Purpose: Alkyl halides can be prepared from alcohols by reacting them with a hydrogen halide‚ HX (X = Cl‚ Br‚ or I). The mechanisms of acid-catalyzed substitution of alcohols are termed SN1 and SN2. The “S” stands for substitution‚ the “N” stands for nucleophilic‚ and the “1” or “2” stand for unimolecular or bimolecular. Secondary alcohols react with hydrogen halides by both SN1 and SN2

Hydrocinnamic acid underwent bromination using N-bromosuccinimide and AIBN. As one lab partner set up the reflux apparatus‚ the other measured the chemicals used in the lab experiment. 2.10 g of hydrocinnamic acid was used. It was observed as white and had a slight cinnamon smell. The amount of NBS was 2.49g and was measured in the fume hood. AIBN was measured at .030 g. 10 mL of acetic acid was also obtained. The reflux apparatus consisted of a 25 mL flask with a stir bar in a water bath. The chemicals

Laboratory Exercise #3 Measuring Protein in Solution Abstract The purpose of this lab was to learn about the Biuret assay reaction to determine if it can detect proteins and amino acids; also‚ to understand the process of “salting out” proteins and how to determine the amount of protein in a solution. In order to do so‚ egg white and ammonium sulfate were mixed on ice and then put into the centrifuge. After PBS was added‚ the amount of protein could then be determined. After that‚ 14 test tubes

IR ATR spectra of the solid complex was acquired along with a solution cell IR of the complex in methylene chloride. According to the lab manual used for this experiment two characteristic carbonyl IR stretches of MesMo(CO)3 occur strongly around 2000 cm-1. The stretches at 1940 and 1855 cm-1 in the IR ATR spectra are possible indicators of carbonyl stretches in the compound

According to Figure 4 and 5‚ the moles of Cu initially obtained and at completion‚ differentiated. It was evident that the initial moles of Cu (0.0254)‚ did not regenerate all the amount‚ as 0.0124 moles of Cu was attained. In regards to this‚ the no. moles that was eliminated was approximately‚ 0.013. Respectively‚ in Figure 3‚ a large deviation amongst the initial and final quantity of copper‚ this implies that the rest of the mass that had diminished‚ was greater than the final product. These

Lab Report #1 Title: Synthesis of Divanillin Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize divanillin. This was done via the oxidative dimerization of two equivalents of vanillin‚ using enzyme horseradish peroxidase as the catalyst. Procedure: Lab Handout: Nishimura‚ R.T.; Giammanco‚ C.H.; Vosburg‚ D.A. J. Chem Educ. 2010‚ 87‚ 526-527. Discussion: Mechanism: Reaction 2 Vanillin H2O2 Divanillin 2 H2O

In order to find the formula of the copper chloride hydrate‚ we had to separate the compound to find the mass of water and copper. To begin this process‚ we evaporated the water and created an anhydrous compound‚ meaning we were left with only CuxCly. By calculating the weight of both the anhydrous and the hydrated compounds‚ we could conclude that the difference in the weights was the weight of the H2O. From this we were able to calculate the percent composition of CuxCly and H2O (see Calculations:

Aspirin Synthesis Introduction Out of all the pharmaceutical drugs in the worlds‚ aspirin is made the most. Any potential pharmacist must be familiar with synthesizing the drug. The goal of this lab is to synthesize as much pure aspirin as possible. The reactants‚ acetyl anhydride and salicylic acid‚ must react in phosphoric acid. With phosphoric acid as a catalyst‚ the reaction yields aspirin and acetic acid. The equation for the reaction is as follows: “(CH3CO)2O + HOC6H4COOH □(→┴yields ) CH3CO2C6H4CO2H

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of water molecules of crystallization of a sample of hydrated Barium Chloride. This can be calculated using Gravimetric Analysis and to indirectly determine the percent composition of a hydrate by taking advantage of its chemical properties. Introduction: Gravimetric procedures are analytical methods in which the results are determined from the masses of starting materials and products. These methods

Lab #18 Stoichiometry In this lab‚ we reacted aluminum foil with a copper chloride solution‚ and determined the amount of metal that should be produced‚ given the amount of aluminum used. First‚ we obtained a piece of aluminum with a mass of 0.809 g‚ and reacted it with 100 mL of Copper II Chloride‚ after heating the solution. Then‚ we filtered out the copper separated in the reaction using filter paper‚ massing 0.751 g. Once all the solution was filtered‚ we massed the new filter paper filled with
