NITRATION OF METHYL BENZOATE Purpose: The main objective of this experiment was to synthesize methyl nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate‚ using the mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid by performing the process of electrophillic aromatic substitution. During this reaction‚ the combination of HNO3 and H2SO4 made a nitrating solution. The crystallization was done to accomplish pure product. The melting point and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) were performed to test the purity of the product. Using

Abstract – This multi-step synthesis uses aniline as the starting reagent to synthesize five compounds employing several reactions such as acetylation‚ diazo coupling‚ nitration‚ bromination‚ and hydrolysis. The isolated products were analyzed with TLC and spectral data that determined most products were pure while some had a few impurities indicated by GC‚ LC‚ and a wide melting point range was shown for products 2 and 3. The presence of water in product 2 and 7 was indicated by the IR. Acetanilide

ETHERS Classification of Ethers: Symmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH2CH3 – diethyl ether Unsymmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are not identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH3 – ethyl methyl ether Physical Properties of Ethers: Ethers have much lower boiling points compared to alcohols of comparable MWs. BPs of ethers increases with increasing MW. BPs of isomeric ethers increase with increasing alkyl chain length. BPs of ethers are about the

Forming Methyl Orange an Azo Die Abstract: An synthetic azo dye was created by reaction of diazonium salt with N‚N-Dimethylanaline. The final product created was 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene-4-sulfonic acid‚ an orange clay-like substance. Sulfanilic acid was chemically manipulated by using sodium carbonate followed by cooled sodium nitrate and hydrochloric acid to form the diazonium salt used in the reaction. The products were washed in ethanol. The product was obtained at an 84% yield and was

BRONSTED-LOWRY ACIDS AND BASES 1. The Bronsted-Lowry definition There are many definitions of acids and bases in existence‚ but the most useful one is the Bronsted-Lowry definition: An acid is a substance which can behave as a proton (re presented as a hydrogen ion‚ H+) donor. Any substance which contains hydrogen bonded to a more electronegative element can thus behave as an acid: HCl == H+ + Cl- H2SO4 == H+ + HSO4- A base is a substance which can behave as a proton acceptor.

II. Synthesis This activity helps me to understand myself better by knowing what people think of me. It aims to foster self-awareness and self-improvement. I found out that my family thinks that I am a responsible person in terms of sense of responsibility. But my brother thinks I’m immature. In terms of duties at home‚ my mother and father understand that I don’t perform my duties because I’m busy with my studies. My sister thinks it too but she justified that I perform when I’m not busy. When
