Trans-Butenedioic Acid Paper

191 Words1 Page

In this experiment we investigated the physical and chemical properties of cis-butenedioic (maleic acid) and trans-butenedioic (fumeric acid) isomers. We used pH paper to determine the difference in pH between the two, water to determine the solubility of each and added a magnesium strip to each in order to determine the reactivity of each isomer. The results that we determined by this experiment is that Maleic acid is more acidic, pH of 1, than Fumeric acid, pH of 2; we found that Maleic acid was more soluble than Fumeric acid considering that the Fumeric acid did not dissolve in the water at all noticeable; Maleic acid had a much high reactivity with the Magnesium strip showing a large amount of bubbling when it was added while Fumeric acid

    The difference in this chemical and physical properties will aid in their separation. Processes like solubility, gravitational filtration and recrystallization will be used to separate the substances present in Panacetin. The melting and boiling point of the substances will help in concluding on which of these compounds will be presented at the end of experiment. Procedure and observation The Panacetin content was weighed approximately 3.0493g and transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask; 75ml of dichloromethane (CH¬2CL2) was added to the content. The dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) dissolved the sucrose, leaving the active unknown agent and aspirin behind.

    The purpose of this experiment was to identify the two components of an unknown mixture through diverse experimental techniques such as recrystallization, extraction, melting point, and acid-base reactions. From this, the group to which these two compounds belong to had to be determined. These groups are: Carboxylic Acids, phenols, and neutrals. By determining the melting points of the two unknown compounds, these values were compared to the values of melting points in the chart and the proper compound was selected. For the case of this experiment, the unknown mixture contained, 4-methylbenzoic acid.

    Since the volatility of o-toluic acid is almost the same as water, it takes longer for the compound to dry at room temperature. Nevertheless, the procedure for removing the acid was performed successfully. The melting point for o-toluic acid was discovered to be 99.2° – 101.1° C, which is lower than the literature melting point of 102°-104° C. However, there is not a huge discrepancy and obtained substances usually have lower melting points than the stated literature melting

    TLC was used to identify the actual unknown product as well as other products/reactants present in the filtered solution. The procedure was conducted by placing a TLC plate in a developing chamber that is filled with a small amount of solvent. The solvent cannot be too polar because it will cause spotted compounds on the TLC plate to rise up too fast, while a very non-polar solvent will not allow the spots to move. The polarity of the spots also determines how far it moves on the plate; non-polar spots are higher than polar ones. After spots on the TLC form, the Rf values are calculated and used to analyze the similarity of the compounds.

    HYPOTHESIS; This investigation involves the comparison of 3 different bases which might be the active elements of some antacids; drugs which are taken to relieve heartburn. As such, the sets of experiment will involve subjecting the 3 bases to the same conditions. In fact, for a set of experiments, the variables of surface area, concentration, amount, temperature and catalysis will be controlled. Another controlled variable is the volume and concentration of the acid. The aim of this investigation is to determine which of the 3 bases can be ideal for which conditions relating to heartburn.

    Once with Tylenol, Anacin, acetaminophen and acetylsalicylic acid samples spotted separately and once with the unknown samples co-spotted with the known samples. The goal is to identify the main chemical components in Anacin and Tylenol, either acetaminophen or acetylsalicylic acid. Silica (SiO2) gel will be used as the stationary phase and an ethyl acetate (C4H8O2) containing 0.5% acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution will be used as the mobile phase. The molecular structures of the stationary and mobile phases are shown in Figures 1 and 2. The stationary phase is polar protic and the strongest intermolecular force present is hydrogen bonding.

  • Separation Of Benzocaine And Benzoic Acid

    Through the extraction process, the mixture was separated into its pure benzocaine and benzoic acid portions. This could be proven by matching the melting points of the substituents obtained at the end of the lab to the average melting points found in several chemistry databases. In other words, the melting points of the purified benzocaine and benzoic acid compounds (93.2˚C and 131˚C, respectively) reflect a similar melting points to the documented 89˚C and 122.41˚C of the pure compounds found in nature. Although, the results was collected smoothly, the possibilities of errors are still existent. One source of error could aroused when light brown clouding forms at the interface of the two layers during acid extraction of benzocaine.

    Abstract The unknown concentration of benzoic acid used when titrated with standardized 0.1031M NaOH and the solubility was calculated at two different temperatures (20◦C and 30◦C). With the aid of the Van’t Hoff equation, the enthalpy of solution of benzoic acid at those temperatures was determined as 10.82 KJ. This compares well with the value of 10.27KJ found in the literature.
