Wittig reaction

Abstract This lab is performed in order to determine the total energy in a reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The reaction is done twice, once to measure the heat of the reaction and again to determine the work done in the system. This is because Enthalpy equals heat plus work (∆H= ∆E+W). Heat and work can be broken down further into separate components so the equation used in lab is ∆H=mc∆T + PV. Many calculations are used in the lab to find out what cannot be measured directly (ex:

Experiment A1: Kinetics of the Reaction between Acetone and Iodine The key aim of this experiment was to determine the rate equation for the acid-catalysed iodination of acetone and to hence consider the insinuations of the mechanism of the rate equation obtained. The stoichiometric equation for the reaction between iodine and acetone is below, followed by the rate equation (where x,y,z and k are the values to be obtained): I2 + CH3COCH3 CH3COCH2I + HI -d[I2]/dt = k [I2]x [CH3COCH3]y [H+]z

and Sulfuric acid to yield methyl m-nitrobenzoate. The product was then isolated and recrystallized using methanol. This reaction is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, in which the nitro group replaces a proton of the aromatic ring. Following recrystallization, melting point and infrared were used to identify and characterize the product of the reaction. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize methyl nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate, concentrated nitric

Discussion Aromatic compounds can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions. In these reactions, the aromatic ring acts as a nucleophile (an electron pair donor) and reacts with an electrophilic reagent (an electron pair acceptor) resulting in the replacement of a hydrogen on the aromatic ring with the electrophile. Due to the fact

Turnips and horse radish roots are rich source of this enzyme. In this experiment, we would carry out a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and guaiacol which is colorless dye, using peroxidase as a catalyst, to produce water and an oxidized form of guaiacol which is brown. The formation of brown color would serve as an indicator that the breakdown of Hydrogen

acidic, or remain neutral when mixed with other chemicals. Procedure: In this experiment, various chemicals were mixed together, to determine a reaction. Using two drops from chemical 1 and two drops of chemical two, unless otherwise stated, then recording the type of physical reaction or color changes that occurred.

Thermodynamics- Enthalpy of Reaction and Hess’s Law Objectives: 1. To calculate the heat of reaction of a given reaction using the concepts derived from Hess’s Law. Pre-lab Questions: 1. Define Heat of Reaction. The enthalpy change associated with the completion of a chemical reaction. 2. Define Specific Heat. The energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. 3. Calculate the heat of reaction assuming no heat is lost to the calorimeter. Use correct
