The goal of this experiment was to reduce Camphor into Borneol and Isoborneol using Sodium Borohydride. In this reaction, Isoborneol was the major product while Borneol was the minor product. This is a reduction reaction, where the ketone on the Camphor is reduced to form two products with secondary alcohols. First, 0.25 grams of Camphor was obtained and added to a 50ml flask and mixed with 1.5 ml of methanol. Second, 0.25 grams of Sodium Borohydride was added to the reaction mixture and…

Procedure: Part A: Extraction stage 1. Place a 125 mL separatory funnel in a ring stand equipped with a small ring. 2. Heat the hot plate. 3. Heat the water (20 mL of hot water is needed) to a boil by placing it on top of the hot plate. 2. To the 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, added two Tylenol (500 mg/ tablet) 3. Dissolved the solid by gently swirling the Erlenmeyer flask. 4. Let the solution cool for a few minutes (approximately till room temperature). 5. Add the mixture to the separatory funnel.…

The sharpie permanent marker a tool used to write things were they could stay permanently or not be addressed.But what people don't know is what they contain.Sharpies contain” Dyes, Propyl alcohol,Butyl alcohol and Diacetone alcohol”.(wikipedia).Propyl alcohol also known as 1-Propanol,(Wikipedia) is i on of the ingredients in a sharpie.Did you know that 1-Propanol “is formed naturally in small amounts during many fermentation processes and used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry…

In this experiment, 25 g of solid sodium acetate trihydrate was added into a large beaker. The solid was then heat for 5 minutes, where liquid formed. 6.3 mL of water and a pinch of red dye was poured into the beaker while heated for 2 additional minutes. The solution was then cooled in an ice bath for 30 minutes. The solid-liquid product was then finally poured on a pinch of sodium acetate trihydrate crystal seeds to form ethanoic anhydride. This experiment was ultimately conducted in order to…

The purpose of this lab was to iodonize salicylamide and characterize the product in order to determine its structure. The crude product of this reaction was recrystallized using ethanol. The white crystalline product was isolated using vacuum filtration and characterized. The percent yield of this reaction was determined to be 39%. The observed experimental melting point of the product was determined to be 235-137 oC. When compared to the literature melting point 228 oC of the predicted product…

HBA and HBA-BMF. In Fig. 2a,terminal methyl group present in fatty acid chain show the peak at around δ = 0.9 ppm.31 The proton of −CH2− groups of the fatty acid backbone and terminal methyl group attached proton show the peak between δ =1.20−1.59 ppm.30 The peak at δ = 5.4 ppm is attributed to the protons attached to the olefinic carbon atom (−CH=CH−) of fatty acid,28 this peak provides the evidence of the presence of fatty acid chain of SO in the HBA resin. The peak in the range δ =7.3−7.5 ppm…

Kevlor A synthetic material which has high tensile strength and used in manufacturing of tires and also as a reinforcement agent in manufacturing of protective parts like helmet etc…, HISTORY In 1930’s a chemical company called DuPont prepared commercially succeful super polyamide. Actually in 1964 Stephanie kwolek discovered kevlor in DuPont laboratory while doing research on the high performance chemical compounds. Kevlor is patented Stephanie kwolek in 1966 which is used by many police…

salicylamide and reference. And the sample one we start from left to right: Anacin Excedrin Bufferin Tylenol and reference. It is important that the spots have to be small. Then put reference plate in a wide mouthed screwcap jar with 0.5% glacial acetic in ethyl acetate about 0.5cm depth. Wait for solvent rose to about 0.5cm from the top, take the reference plate out and using a lead pencil, mark the position of the solvent front. Then dry it, and observe it under a short-wavelength UV lamp.…

solubility in each of those solvents, the mixed compounds can separate. Generally, this process includes water as one of the immiscible solvents, but for this lab, t-butyl methyl ether was used to dissolve our mixture. Our mixture was made up of Benzoic acid, p-t-Butylphenol, and Acetanilide. The chemical structure for each compound listed previously, including the solvent, is shown below in Figure 1. By shaking the solvents together and then letting them sit, they begin to separate into two…

“Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They are both fruit, but taste completely different.” (Stephen King). In Nicholas Spark’s novel Safe Haven and Marty Bowen’s movie Safe haven this is the case. In this story a wife that is being abused runs away for abusive husband. Her husband, an investigator, tries to find out where she went. After finding love she starts to make a new family; however, her abuser finds out and threatens her new family. When a movie is made from a book, they…
