The mixture was fully dissolved into 20.4 mL of ether. Ether was used as the extraction solvent. Ether was an appropriate extraction solvent because it is not reactive and has a low boiling point. The ether was able to dissolve the mixture because ethers are capable of hydrogen and dipole-dipole bonding.6 The formation of these bonds is important for the ether to be able to dissolve the compounds. Once the mixture was dissolved in the ether, acid-base reactions were used to separate both the organic acid and the organic base from the solution. By adding hydrochloric acid to the separatory funnel, the pH in the separatory funnel was changed to an acidic pH. In an acidic pH, the base compound of the mixture will accept the hydrogen ions that are now in the solution. By accepting these ions, the base turns into a water-soluble ionic form.

This was done using acid-base reactions, which formed a precipitate. A precipitate formed as the result of an insoluble product. In this experiment, the acid and base compounds were the precipitates. In this procedure, sodium hydroxide was added to the Erlenmeyer flask that contained the basic compound. A reaction between the hydroxide ions and the conjugate acid of meta-nitroaniline reversed the initial reaction that was used to separate the basic component out, by adding hydrochloric acid. By reversing this reaction, the meta-nitroaniline was regenerated and because it is insoluble in water, a precipitate was formed. This precipitate was then filtered out of the solution using vacuum filtration. This procedure was repeated for the acidic components but hydrochloric acid was used instead of sodium hydroxide. During the neutralizations, extreme heat was produced in the beakers. For this reason, it was important to conduct the experiment in an ice
Every 5 minutes, a small amount of mixture was dissolved in acetone (0.5 mL) and was spotted onto a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate, which contained an eluent mixture of ethyl acetate (2 mL) and hexanes (8 mL). The bezaldehyde disappearance was monitored under an ultraviolet (UV) light. Water (10 mL) was added after the reaction was complete, and vacuum filtrated with a Buchner funnel. Cold ethanol (5 mL) was added drop-by-drop to the dried solid and stirred at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Then, the solution was removed from the stirrer and place in an ice bath until recrystallization. The recrystallized product was dried under vacuum filtration and the 0.057 g (0.22 mmol, 43%) product was analyzed via FTIR and 1H NMR
The weight of the final product was 0.979 grams. A nucleophile is an atom or molecule that wants to donate a pair of electrons. An electrophile is an atom or molecule that wants to accept a pair of electrons. In this reaction, the carboxylic acid (m-Toluic acid), is converted into an acyl chlorosulfite intermediate. The chlorosulfite intermediate reacts with a HCL. This yields an acid chloride (m-Toluyl chloride). Then diethylamine reacts with the acid chloride and this yields N,N-Diethyl-m-Toluamide.
The objective of this experiment was to perform extraction. This is a separation and purification technique, based on different solubility of compounds in immiscible solvent mixtures. Extraction is conducted by shaking the solution with the solvent, until two layers are formed. One layer can then be separated from the other. If the separation does not happen in one try, multiple attempts may be needed.
A convenient method of separating a mixture of organic compounds is recognized as liquid-liquid extraction, which involves the dispersion of a substance between two immiscible solvents using preferential solubility. Strategically using the differences in solubility of the interested solute, the compound can be transferred from one liquid part to the other during extraction. Organic acids and bases can be separated from each other by using an organic solvent like diethyl ether and a polar solvent such as water. Diethyl ether is an appropriate solvent since it wil...
There are four conditions that are associated with acid-base imbalance. Disorders that result from changes in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) in systemic arterial blood are respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalosis (Tortora, 2014). Disorders that results from bicarbonate (HCO3) concentration are metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis. When the lungs cannot remove all of the carbon dioxide the body produces, a condition called respiratory acidosis occur. Respiratory acidosis has high level of PCO2 above 45mmHg and a blood level that drop below a pH of 7.35. Normally when you breathe, you inhale oxygen and exhale CO2. Excess CO2 in your
The purpose of this experiment is to conduct an elimination reaction by dehydrating cyclohexanol to cyclohexane. The elimination reaction that is occurring in this experiment is an E1 reaction. An acid catalyst is used in the experiment because the alcohol functional group is a poor leaving group. The method used to achieve this reaction is to boil the azeotrope until it begins to distill into cyclohexene. Cyclohexene is removed from the mixture by keeping the distillation head below 90°C. After the purification of the product, the product will go under two addition reactions (bromine test and a permanganate test) and a IR spectrum. This will determine the identity and the characteristics of the product. The results of the bromine and permanganate
ΔH2 released only 74.24 kilojoules of energy per mole, which is half when compared to the 144.79 kilojoules per mole that was released when the first and third reaction was summated. Although the algebraic sum of equation of 1 and equation 3 is equation 2, and the summated change in enthalpy per mole are drastically different, appearing to contradict Hess’s Law, this conclusion changes once limiting reagents are considered.
Observations: There was a fizz that occurred in the test tube which means a gas was produced. Also the mixture became warmer, and when putting the lit piece of wood in the tube, the flame went out immediately making a noise, which means that there was no oxygen
In a small reaction tube, the tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (0.110 g, 0.28 mmol) was added into the dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate (0.1 mL) and nitrobenzene (1 mL) along with a boiling stick. The color of the mixed solution was purple. The solution was then heated to reflux until it turned into a tan color. After the color change has occurred, ethanol (3 mL) was stirred into the small reaction tube. After that, the small reaction tube was placed in an ice bath until the solid was formed at the bottom of the tube. Then, the solution with the precipitate was filtered through vacuum filtration and washed with ethanol. The precipitate then was dried and weighed. The final product was dimethyl tertraphenylpthalate (0.086 g, 0.172mmol, 61.42%).
The purpose of this experiment was to learn and preform an acid-base extraction technique to separate organic compounds successfully and obtaining amounts of each component in the mixture. In this experiment, the separation will be done by separatory funnel preforming on two liquids that are immiscible from two layers when added together. The individual components of Phensuprin (Acetylsalicylic acid, Acetanilide, and Sucrose as a filler) was separated based upon their solubility and reactivity, and the amount of each component in the mixture was obtained. Also, the purity of each component will be determined by the melting point of the component.
Once the mixture had been completely dissolved, the solution was transferred to a separatory funnel. The solution was then extracted twice using 5.0 mL of 1 M
In this lab, it was determined how the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is affected by physical factors such as enzyme concentration, temperature, and substrate concentration affect. The question of what factors influence enzyme activity can be answered by the results of peroxidase activity and its relation to temperature and whether or not hydroxylamine causes a reaction change with enzyme activity. An enzyme is a protein produced by a living organism that serves as a biological catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction and does so by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. With that energy reactants are brought together so that products can be formed.
In this experiment, a mixture of three substances (benzoic acid, 2-naphthol, and 1-4 dimethoxybenzene) will be separated based off acidity strength using the liquid-liquid extraction technique through a separatory funnel. Benzoic acid and 2-napthol will be converted into ionic salts when reacting with their appropriate bases (sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide). Both ionic salts will then form solids through the addition of acidic HCl. Neutral 1,4 – dimethoxybenzene forms a solid through the evaporation of ether. Each compound will then be purified through recrystallization, using the processes of dissolving the solid in either water or methanol, and isolating the solid through vacuum filtration. After a week of evaporation, the compounds will then be examined for both
