Toluene is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature, with a pungent, sweet, benzene-like odor found naturally in crude oil. The chemical toluene consists of seven carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms (figure one) and has a molecular weight of 92.14 grams per mole. Toluene is a solvent, used for dissolving substances such as in paints, paint thinners, inks, dyes, and in cosmetics such as nail polish. Toluene is useful as it dissolves iodine, sulfur, oils, fats, resins, and phosgene. Toluene

A vacuum extraction cylinder is used to remove the extract from the cylinder. In this procedure, the method for recovery is a modification of Rotovapor method. To remove the asphalt from the mix about seven wash of solvent
Nowadays, we hear a lot about drugs and the different kinds there are. We also hear how some people say that it is fine to take some drugs, but the reality is that most of them do not know the real effects the drug can have on a person. The problem is that people are each day becoming more addictive to drugs without knowing how harmful it is for them and their bodies, how it can have a great affect in their brains damaging themselves. It is important that people are aware all of the effects drug
TOLUENE HYDRODEALKYLATION PROCESS Toluene hydrodealkylation or hydrodealkylation of toluene (HDA) is a process that used to produce benzene. The reaction occurs as: Toluene + H2 Benzene + CH4 The process need toluene and hydrogen as a main reactor. Then, toluene and hydrogen are converted in a reactor packed with catalyst to produce benzene and methane. This reaction is exothermic and the operating conditions are 500 0C to 660 0C, and 20 to 60 bar of pressure. This process begins with mixing
Distillation of Cyclohexane and Toluene Introduction: The experiment was conducted to show which type of distillation is the most accurate in separating the two liquids. Simple distillation results were compared to the different techniques of fractional distillation in order to show which was the most accurate in separating the liquids. Procedure: This experiment followed the directions present in the manual for the simple distillation method. 15 mL of the Cyclohexane and Toluene solution was used in the
Experimental: Heat to boiling point of Cyclohexane Heat to boiling point of Toluene My lab partner and I performed Fractional Distillation Fractional Distillation Procedure In conical vial add 7 mL stock solution and boiling stones. Set-up the distillation kit, including the fractionating column. Connect the
and hydrogen. 2. Is toluene polar or nonpolar? (0.5 pt) Toluene is non polar given it equal electron distribution in a covalent bond. 3. Would you expect cyclohexane and toluene to form a homogeneous or heterogeneous solution? (0.5 pt) Given that cyclohexane and toluene are non-polar compounds, they will be miscible compounds to each other and they will form a homogeneous solution 4. What is the boiling point of toluene and cyclohexane? (1 pt) The boiling point for toluene is 110.6oC, and for
Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to use fractional distillation to separate a mix of isopropyl acetate and toluene, redistill them, and use gas chromatography to examine the separation.

2015 Purification of Biphenyl Results Methanol, acetone, dichloromethane, toluene, and hexanes were tested for their miscibility with water. Methanol and acetone were found to be miscible with water, and dichloromethane, toluene, and hexanes were immiscible. Two layers—one organic and one aqueous—were observed each time an immiscible solvent was combined with water. Dichloromethane was observed as the bottom layer, and toluene and hexanes were observed as the top layers when added to test tubes of
vacuum oven [33]. 2.2.3. HESI-SBA-15 2, 4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde (2.83 g), Cl-SBA-15 (2 g) and triethylamine (2 g) in 50 mL of toluene was refluxed for 3 hours at 80-90 ºC in the water bath. Then, the solid was filtered, rinsed sequentially with ethanol and dried in a vacuum oven at 80 oC. Then, 1.96 mL of ethanolamine was added on the resulting substance in 50 mL of toluene and refluxed at 110ºC for 48 hours in oil bath under a nitrogen atmosphere. The product was centrifuged, washed with 50 mL of
not have the correct ratio of acetone to toluene. In addition, not everyone was able to get through the GC portion of the experiment due to complications in the extraction and recrystallization experiment. Thus, lab members were instructed to use one lab member’s data. Overall, the flawed data did have the correct boiling points so the unknowns were correctly identified. Also, the lab member’s data did have a relatively accurate ratio of acetone to toluene so the experiment was
The salon industry’s main focus is outer beauty, however, there are serious, if not deadly consequences when a closer look is taken on the effects this industry has on inner health. These consequences have potentially deadly implications for those who are exposed to the chemicals present in many popular services offered by salons. Those especially at risk and who suffer from an array of negative health conditions are the beauticians and salon workers who suffer long-term exposure as these chemicals
The timber suitability for pulpwood can be estimated using several properties prior to pulping and papermaking works are carried out. Fibre morphology and chemical compositions are good indicators of wood suitability for pulpwood. The chemical composition of pulpwood has significant influences on the pulping process and pulp quality. Major wood components include cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin and extractives. Cellulose content determines the potential recovery or yield of pulp from wood. High

Johanna Congleton, a PhD, says that when rats were exposed to Toluene right after birth, twenty percent of them became obese and went through early puberty. This concluded how nail polish components caused metabolic and hormone disruption. Therefore, when nail polish users apply nail polish onto their nails, their body

The freezing point of p-xylene was calculated by taking the average calculated Kf of the three trials of the p-xylene and toluene solution. The average of the three trials was computed as 4.56(C/m) as shown in Table 1, however, the theoretical value was slightly lower than calculated, 4.3(C/m). This resulted in a 6.04% error as shown in Equation 5; possible causes of error could have resulted from adding too much solute or too little solvent, then the calculations would have been off given that the
types of chromatography, like TLC, the polarity of solvents is extremely important. This lab uses TLC plates, five solvents (hexane, toluene, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, and acetone), and small evaporating dishes to determine which solvent would be best to use in column chromatography. The least polar solvent is hexane, which has a polarity index of 0.1. Toluene has a polarity index of 2.4, while ethyl acetate’s is almost twice that at 4.4. By comparing the polarity indexes, you can tell what
Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid or gaseous chemical solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid or gaseous solvent to form a solution [1]. The solubility of a particular substance is dependent on the physical and chemical properties of both the solute and solvent [1]. The temperature, pressure and pH of the solution also has an effect on the solubility. The extent of the solubility of a certain solute in a particular solvent is measured as saturation, where adding more solute will not increase
silver salt, dodecanoic acid (DDA) as a capping molecule, toluene as a medium, and NaBH4 as a reducing reagent. The silver nitrate, DDA, BA, and NaBH4 were purchased from Junsei Chemical, and they were used as received without further purification. The scheme for direct synthesis of silver nanoparticles from silver nitrate in the organic phase is illustrated in the given figure. Silver nitrate was first dissolved in BA completely and then toluene was poured into the above solution, which resulted in
