Crude Acetylferrocene Lab Report
The isolation and purity of crude acetylferrocene were tested through column chromatography. Crude acetylferrocene was observed to be an orange powder with a mass of 2.28 g. The percent yield was 124% ((2.28g/1.84g) x100%). The high percent yield was due to the high amount of sodium bicarbonate added in the previous lab. .100 g was weighed out on an evaporation dish. 6.00 g of silica gel was obtained in an Erlenmeyer flask. The solvent used was 100 mL of 80:20 petroleum ether/ethyl acetate. The silica gel and solvent were slurred together and poured quickly into the column through a funnel. The slurry was white and cloudy. The slurry was packed and made two layers: silica gel as the bottom layer while the clear solvent as the top layer. 5 mm of sand was added and resided on the top of the silica gel layer. …show more content…
The solution was added to the column. The column sides were rinsed with the solvent to make sure all the solution was on top of the silica gel. The mixture was drained to the top of the silica gel and the solvent was added to fill the column again. The solution of acetylferrocene and the solvent ran through the silica gel. It separated into two bands. The first band was yellow and at the bottom while the second band was orange and was at the top. There was more of the yellow band than the orange band. There was no third red band so the impurity, diacetylferrocene, was not produced. The solution was drained and collected into four test tubes. One contained just the solvent, two contained the yellow band (F1) and one contained the orange band (F2). The test tubes were changed when the band color changed in the column. A TLC was performed, comparing F1, F2, and commercial

728 Words | 3 PagesThe lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.
Dichloromethane Lab Report
653 Words | 3 PagesAt the fingerprint region, there was an intense peak at 734. 51 cm-1, which could be the C-CL stretch found in dichloromethane, which means the product might not have been pure. This lab was successful to an extent because we were able to obtain the product, 2-naphthyl ether, but it was not pure since the IR spectrum showed traces of dichloromethane. Also the percent yield of the product was over 100%. Some sources of error in this experiment were that since the product in vial 3 had solidified, we had added a drop of dichloromethane to the vial, resulting in the C-Cl peak of the IR spectrum.

Methylcyclohexene Lab Report
606 Words | 3 PagesBased on the result from the bromine test conducted, the clear appearance of the 4-methylcyclonexene demonstrated that the bromine had all been used up, and there is an unsaturated compound present. Infrared spectroscopy was another method of identifying an alkene. Figures 1 and 2 show the IR spectra for the reactant (4-methylcyclohexanol) and the product (4-methylcyclohexene), respectively; each were compared and analyzed. The IR spectrum for 4-methylcyclohexanol revealed a broad peak at 3328 cm-1, signifying an OH group and therefore an alcohol. In contrast, the IR spectrum for 4-methylcyclohexene no longer showed that broad band, but instead displayed a sharp peak at 1651 cm-1, representing a double bond and therefore an alkene.

821 Words | 4 PagesNonetheless, the light yellow solid was purified by using the recrystallization technique. The formation of o-nitroacetanilide is inevitable and in order to eliminate it, 95% ethanol is used as the solvent of choice. The ortho isomer is soluble in the cold alcohol solution whereas p-nitroacetanilide in insoluble. As a result, the ortho isomer remains in the liquid solution and the final product, the p-nitroacetanilide is isolated with a final vacuum
Isopentyl Acetate Synthesis Lab Report
539 Words | 3 PagesIn this laboratory experiment, 3.030 g of Isopentyl Acetate was synthesized and formed by the esterification of acetic acid with Isopentyl Alcohol. 1.0 mL of Sulfuric acid was used as a catalyst in the reaction. The excess Isopentyl Acetate was used to shift the reaction to the right for esterification to occur. During the extraction, the excess of acetic acid and Isopentyl alcohol was extracted with sodium bicarbonate, and further purification of the Isopentyl acetate was done after through drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate and through simple distillation. The percent yield of the Isopentyl Acetate was 46.6 percent with a theoretical yield of 6.502g.
