Introduction The purpose of this week’s lab was to enhance our understanding of the Grignard reagents that were examined in lecture. In this lab, a Grignard reagent will be prepared through the reaction of magnesium turnings and bromobenzene. Instead of isolating the product it will then be combined with benzophenone, which will give the final product of triphenylmethanol. Procedure To start this experiment the first step is to equip a 500-mL three-neck round bottom flask with a reflux condenser, dropping funnel, glass stopper, and a calcium chloride drying tube. Place a heating mantle under the flask in order to aid stirring. Next, grind 0.0411 moles of magnesium turnings and place them into the flask. Once added, prepare a 1.1 equivalent of bromobenzene, and then …show more content…
The experimental melting point was calculated to be 159.0-159.6°C, which is very accurate compared to the actual melting range of 160-163°C. The percent yield came out to be 26.89%, which is low but is consistent with other in the class due to the difficult nature of forming the trimethylmethanol crystals. Overall, this was a successful experiment because in the end there was a decent amount of pure crystal product. Questions 1. The triphenymethanol product was a very fine white powder that had a slight yellow tint to it. The experimental melting point was calculated to be 159.0-159.6°C, which is very accurate compared to the actual melting range of 160-163°C. The percent yield came out to be 26.89%, which is most likely low due to using heating plates to heat the end reaction instead of the recommended steam baths. 2. N/A 3. N/A 4. See Attached 5. The added hexane is denser than the aqueous solution, which causes the reaction to run faster and reduces the amount of lost product because it creates a density difference between the product and solvent. 6.

The data observed and recorded in this lab shows that the concentration of miracle gro’ does affect the growth rate and germination speed of black eyed peas. The data is shown through two graphs and two data tables. The control group in this experiment is the seeds with a 0% concentration of miracle gro’, therefore the seeds with just water. The experimental groups are different concentrations of miracle gro’ including a 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% concentration. The variable in this experiment is the amount/concentration of miracle gro’.
The goal of the experiment is to synthesize a bromohexane compound from 1-hexene and HBr(aq) under reflux conditions and use the silver nitrate and sodium iodide tests to determine if the product is a primary or secondary hydrocarbon. The heterogeneous reaction mixture contains 1-hexene, 48% HBr(aq), and tetrabutylammonium bromide and was heated to under reflux conditions. Heating under reflux means that the reaction mixture is heated at its boiling point so that the reaction can proceed at a faster rate. The attached reflux condenser allows volatile substances to return to the reaction flask so that no material is lost. Since alkenes are immiscible with concentrated HBr, tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as a phase-transfer catalyst.
Abstract In this experiment, the reaction kinetics of the hydrolysis of t-butyl chloride, (CH3)3CCl, was studied. The experiment was to determine the rate constant of the reaction, as well as the effects of solvent composition on the rate of reaction. A 50/50 V/V isopropanol/water solvent mixture was prepared and 1cm3 of (CH3)3CCl was added. At specific instances, aliquots of the reaction mixture were withdrawn and quenched with acetone.
To conduct the first experiment my procedure was the following. Step one, gather required equipment for experiment: one beaker, one balloon, one erlenmeyer flask, an electric balance, pair of goggles, apron, 10 cm of magnesium, and 15 mL of hydrochloric acid. Step two, measure 15 mL of hydrochloric acid into beaker. Step three, Pour hydrochloric acid from beaker, into erlenmeyer flask. Step four, cut 10 cm of magnesium and place gently in balloon.
The crude tetraphenylnaphthalene in a 25-ml Erlenmeyer flask and dissolved in boiling isopropyl alcohol (12 ml). The solution was cooled to room temperature and further cooled in an ice bath for 30 minutes. Crystallization of colorless crystals occurred. The product was collect in a Hirsch funnel and washed with isopropyl alcohol. The solid was left to dry over the weekend.

Vacuum filtration was performed on the crude product, then it was recrystallized for purification. Melting point analysis was conducted on the recrystallized product to determine its identity. 3. The three possible mechanisms in this experiment were syn-addition
As seen in table 1, the theoretical yield was .712 g of C_17 H_19 NO_3. The % yield of this experiment was 7.51 % of C_17 H_19 NO_3. . This low yield can be explained from a poor recrystallization technique combined with potential contamination. Throughout the experiment, the mixture changed color from green, orange, to yellowish lime, and eventually clear.
It is important to allow the ketone to dissolve completely in the solvent in
The possible explanations and changes to make are similar to the previous questions. Conclusion and Future Experiment 18. The identity of the product and unknown were 4-tert-butylbenzyl phenol ether and tert-butyl phenol respectively. The key to making this discovery was the melting point and TLC results!
This was proved by utilizing the IR spectrum to verify the C =O was not in the final product as it lacked the 1640 cm-1 peak. The melting point of 113-115 degrees C proved that the final product obtained was the E-Stilbene. The TLC plate proved that the E and the Z product was produced, show cased by the double intensity of the DCM spot to the final product’s spot, both which had an Rf of 0.92. The double intensity proved that both products were produced, but through heating and filtering, the Z-Stilbene was
We set those materials in a neat, orderly fashion on our table. Next, we put on our safety goggles. Next, we placed one Magnesium metal ribbon into the 125 milliliter Erlenmeyer flask and we poured 20 milliliters of hydrochloric into the graduated cylinder. Then we placed the 125 milliliter Erlenmeyer flask with the magnesium, the rubber stopper, and the graduated cylinder with 20 milliliters of hydrochloric acid onto a scale. After we got the different masses, we added them up until we got a final total and we put that mass into a table.
Purpose/Introduction The process of recrystallization is an important method of purifying a solid organic substance using a hot solution as a solvent. This method will allow the separation of impurities. We will analyze Benzoic Acid as it is dissolved and recrystallized in water and in a solvent of Methanol and water. Reaction/Summary
Introduction Grignard reagent is considered as an organometallic compound or it's the composition of electrophilic and nucleophilic that electrophilic is the carbon atom of organic halide which is directly attached to the halogen, it's reactivity can be switched to the nucleophilic reactivity by conversion an organomagnesium halide. It has the general formula of (RMgX) and it has a general nomenclature which it's called magnesium alkyl halide. We can get Grignard reagent by adding one of solutions of alkyl halide to an ether, slowly. Then, garbling them that's leads to the boiling of solution and magnesium becomes disappeared so, we can get the reagent. Grignard reagent is also considered as the best known reagent of all organometallic compounds, as carbon atom is connected to a metal atom which may be
Abstract — This experiment was conducted to familiarize the students with the procedures regarding distillation—to be more precise, the separation of ethanol from an alcoholic beverage—using a distillation set-up consisting of boiling chips, a Bunsen burner, a condenser, a thermometer and several other materials. In the end, it was discovered that one may actually separate a homogeneous mixture, given that the components of said mixture differ in volatility and that they utilize a complete distillation set-up and follow laboratory safety rules and regulations. Keywords — Matter, homogeneous and hetereogeneous mixtures, distillation, volatility, boiling point I. INTRODUCTION There are typically two categories of matter, these are pure substances
