------------------------------------------------- Definition Esters are chemical compounds consisting of a carbonyl adjacent to an ether linkage. They are derived by reacting an oxo acid with a hydroxyl compound such as an alcohol or phenol. Esters are usually derived from an inorganic acid or organic acid in which at least one -OH (hydroxyl) group is replaced by an -O-alkyl (alkoxy) group‚ and most commonly from carboxylic acids and alcohols. That is‚ esters are formed by condensing an acid with an alcohol. Esters are ubiquitous. Most

Experiment 19 - Determination of the equilibrium constant for the reaction Fe3+ (aq) + SCN( (aq) = FeSCN2+ (aq) Object: To determine the equilibrium constant by a colorimetric method Theory: Colorimetric methods of analysis are usually applied to the determination of small concentrations of either inorganic or organic materials in a solution. The constituent sought must be coloured or must be capable of reacting with a reagent to produce a substance having a suitable colour. Beers Law‚ which

determine the rate constants‚ k1‚ for the methyl acetate hydrolysis reaction at 25 °C and 35 °C‚ as well as the overall activation energy of the reaction. Methods Methyl acetate was placed in an HCl solution‚ in which it reacts with water to form acetic acid over time. At each time interval‚ an aliquot of the mixture was removed for titration against NaOH to determine the concentration of the acetic acid produced. From the amount of acetic acid produced overtime‚ the rate constant‚ k1‚ can be determined

SYNTHESIS OF ESTERS USING GREEN AND NON-GREEN CHEMISTRY Abstract Esters are a class of organic compounds with the general formula RCOOR’. Ester also contributes the flavor and aromas in fruits and flowers. The esterification reactions will use in the procedure‚ which are the interaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol‚ aided by an inorganic acid catalyst (H2SO4). Moreover‚ the green method will not use any catalyst but using heating source instead (microwave). Based on the comparison of

Hydrolysis of macromolecules Abstract: This lab was designed to teach the process of “hydrolysis”‚ a chemical reaction in which water is added to a polymer‚ breaking its bonds and forming smaller molecules. A hydrogen cation and a hydroxide anion (which once formed water) break apart and attach themselves to the ends of shorter polymers. Hydrolysis plays an important role in our lives and in the lives of every living thing on earth. Living organisms rely on digestion (hydrolysis) to convert

The purpose of this experiment is to observe an equilibrium reaction counteracting changes to it’s system all in accordance to Le Chatelier’s principle. An equilibrium reaction can be pushed toward products or reactant based on changes in temperature or concentration. The reversibility of reaction will also be looked at. Pre-Lab questions 1. The concentrations of products and concentrations of reactants remain constant but both reactions are still going on‚ just at the same rate. 2
