Solubility and How it is Effected by pH and Polarity By: Brian Hartman September 24, 2015 Chapman University Organic Chemistry 230 Lab Introduction: Different organic solvents can be used to isolate and purify organic compounds due to differences in the compounds solubility. The solubility of an organic compound and its interaction with water plays a key role in how our bodies function. These factors also effect how a target compound is extracted. One example of this is Aspirin. Aspirin
Lab 1: Effect of pH on sodium benzoate, a food preservative Sheikh M Zakaria Person no. 36295651 TA: Synthia Gratia Date of Submission: 05/29/13 Abstract Sodium Benzoate is a common food preservative used in food products such as jams and jellies, soft drinks, pickles, condiments etc and in tinned products in the market. This experiment aimed to determine whether benzoic acid is formed from it’s superior soluble form sodium benzoate in stomach acid, which is simulated by HCl (pH=2). It has
Singapore CM1501 Organic Chemistry for Engineers Lab Report Experiment 2: Separation and Identification of Two Organic Compounds 10th October 2013 Abstract This experiment involves the separation and identification of 2 organic compounds (1 Neutral Compound and 1 Acidic Compound) in a mixture. Separation techniques used in this experiment include solvent extraction, simple distillation and recrystallization using a suitable solvent determined through a solubility test. The identification
Megan Entwistle, Maria Amos, and Paul Golubic CHEM 0330 Organic Lab 1 Sodium Borohydride Reduction: Diphenylmethanol from Benzophenone 11/16/11 Introduction Redox (shorthand for REDuction-OXidation) reactions are chemical reactions in which the oxidation state (or oxidation number) of atoms has changed. Oxidation can be observed through the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by an atom, ion or molecule. Reduction describes the gain of electrons or decrease in oxidation state
Solubility is the property of a chemical substance, in any state, to dissolve within an adequate solvent. Many chemical experiments in the lab will contain a solute in a solvent, therefore important to know the exact reactions that will ensue. Symmetry and polarity play crucial roles in the occurrence of solubility. A primary rule of “like dissolves like”, describes how molecules with the same symmetry are more likely to be soluble with each other. The same rule can be attributed to the tendencies
Analysis Lee Billips Department of Chemistry, Shippensburg University, 1871 Old Main Drive. Shippensburg, PA, 17257. Abstract: The identification and characterization of unknowns are an important part of organic chemistry. It is fundamental to know experimental methods to deductively identify compounds (1) . The determination of unknown #6 (2-butanol) was identified by a series of test; first taking the boiling point (94-96 C), performing a solubility test, Beilstien test, Ignition test, and
Jacinta Houng Comparing the Solubility of Chemicals in Water “Water is known as the “universal solvent” because so many different substances dissolve in it and we rely on this for many of our daily needs.” Introduction: Water is known as the ‘universal solvent’ as it is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances and dissolves more substances than any other liquid. However the ability to be soluble depends on a substances polarity and bonding. This then contributes to the various ways
experiment examines the solubility characteristics of organic and inorganic species. The specific substance being tested first, is the organic compound benzoic acid. The objective of the first set trials is to acquire data which can be used to determine the best solvent for the recrystallization of benzoic acid. Next, potassium permanganate, an inorganic salt, will be dissolved in a variety of organic solvents, with the aid of phase transfer agents. First, the solubility of benzoic acid was tested
Lab #1 Extraction and Thin Layer Chromatography Kaya Gaudet 6784928 January 9, 2013 Line Structure References BenzophenoneBiphenylBenzoic Acid Extraction: A process used to separate different compounds in a mixture based on their solubility in an immiscible substance. Usually an aqueous and organic phase are used. During extraction the desired compound moves one phase and leaves the unwanted substance behind. Extraction normally has to be done a few times to leave all of the impurities
Qualitative Analysis Lab Report Organic Chemistry Laboratory II ABSTRACT: The purpose of this lab was to separate and purify two unknown compounds, one solid and one liquid, from an ethereal solution using the techniques of chemically active extraction, vacuum filtration, simple distillation, and recrystallization. Then identifying information was compiled about these unknowns by obtaining experimental melting/boiling point ranges, and analyzing IR and proton/carbon NMR spectrums It was determined
