Introduction Esters derive from the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol (Figure 1). Figure 1. The General Reaction Equation of Ester Formation From A Carboxylic Acid & An Alcohol. Carboxylic acids contain the functional group –COOH whereas in ester’s the hydrogen is replaced with an R denoting any alkyl or aryl group; -RCOOR’. Esters with low-molecular weights are commonly used as components in the flavor’s and odors of many fruits & fragrances’ as well as to enhance foods & beverages

opposition to‚ external forces like gravity Capillary action is sometimes called capillarity‚ capillary motion‚ or wicking Capillarity Types:- Capillarity Rise:- The upward movement of a liquid against the force of gravity inside narrow spaces and thin tubes is called capillary rise . This property of liquid is called capillarity. A common apparatus used to demonstrate capillarity is the capillary tube. Reason:- Capillarity occurs because of intermolecular forces between the liquid and surrounding

Title Page Chelsea Maksin Organic Chemistry Laboratory 1 Column and Thin Layer Chromatography: The Separation of Spinach Pigments Russ Hoburg 02/15/2012 Abstract The main goal in doing the column and thin layer chromatography was to separate spinach extract into its components based on polarity and then to analyze the components. The separation of the spinach extract was done using the column chromatography with the wet/slurry packing method. Alumina was inserted into the column to act as

Medicine Analysis – Synthesising Aspirin results After recrystallisation differences between the crude and purified aspirin were noted. The impure (crude) aspirin was powered and fluffy with small clumps and was slightly yellow in colour whereas the pure aspirin has a less fluffy crystalline powder and was whiter. This showed distinct differences in the two substances but similarities were also apparent showing aspirin‚ in some level‚ was created. Before recrystallisation the crude aspirin could

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT NAME :princess cucumber TOPIC : 3.8 & 8.2 : PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS RESEARCH QUESTION INTRODUCTION The photosynthetic pigments are responsible for absorbing and trapping light energy the major pigments of photosynthesis are the chlorophylls. The two chlorophylls found in green plants are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. other pigments include carotenoids and phycobilins‚ sometimes referred to as accessory pigments. Carotenoids occur in all photosynthetic organisms‚ while

Separation of Amino Acids by Paper Chromatography Chromatography is a common technique for separating chemical substances. The prefix “chroma‚” which suggests “color‚” comes from the fact that some of the earliest applications of chromatography were to separate components of the green pigment‚ chlorophyll. You may have already used this method to separate the colored components in ink. In this experiment you will use chromatography to separate and identify amino acids‚ the building blocks of proteins

Plant Pigment Lab Question: What pigments are present in Red Wandering Jews? Background: A leaf is filled with many pigments. The pigments are usually masked by the prevalence of the green chlorophyll. Anothocyanin(red or purple)‚ carotene(orange)‚ and xanthrophyll(yellow) are found in different proportions in different leaves. Leaf pigments can be separated by using paper chromatography. Paper chromatography is a technique that extracts pigments into a paper filter called chromatogram. What are

Chemistry 100 Experiment #2: Chromatography of Food Dyes Name: Cassandra DeVaux Date: April 17‚ 2014 Purpose: To learn how mixtures of compounds can be separated and what food dyes are found in certain foods Introduction: In this exercise we will separate food dyes from a variety of sources. We will first gather data on known dyes where we know how many substances make up the dye. Then we will collect data on some samples where we do not know the make-up. We will compare our
