    Experiment 2: Preparation and Spectrophotometric Analysis of Copper(I) Iodide Abstract: This experiment aims to determine the concentration of “Purified CuI” sample. Crude CuI is obtained by reacting CuSO4.5H2O with KI and Na2S2O3 in de-ionized water. A series of decanting and centrifugation is carried out to extract the crude CuI. Crude CuI was later purified by dissolving it in hot KI solution. The solution was later transferred into de-ionized water and placed in an ice bath to allow for re-precipitation

    with 4.1508 g of the previously created benzoin. Through the oxidation procedure, we obtained 5.9055 g of crystals as our product. By further calculating percent yield, we calculated the original benzoin itself to be the limiting reagent in this reaction, resulting in a 70.29%. This is a higher value, which is desired because it shows that our experiment was performed as accurately as possible under the given conditions. Immediately proceeding the first experiment, experiment

  • Synthesis Of 3-Nitrochalcone Lab Report

    391 Words  | 2 Pages

    The objective of this experiment was to use an aldol condensation reaction to synthesize 3-nitrochalcone from 3- nitrobenzaldehyde. This was accomplished with a Diels-Alder reaction that utilized 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, acetophenone, ethanol, and sodium hydroxide. The mechanism for the synthesis of 3-nitrochalcone is presented in Figures 1 and 2. The alpha carbon on the acetophenone is deprotonated. This is followed by the attack of the alpha carbon anion on the carbonyl carbon on the 3-nitrobenzaldehyde

    for the formation of carbanions. If all of the reagents were added at the same time, some carbanions would form, and some Cannizzaro products would form as well. Since benzaldehyde was not added until after the carbanion formation, the Cannizzaro reaction should not have happened. This is supported by the absence of a white precipitate, which would indicate Cannizzaro products. Also, the use of a graduated pipette is important to ensure precise measurements of reagents. According to Calculations 2

    method Scheme-1: The conventional method for the synthesis of DHPMs is the one-pot three-component reaction of benzaldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate and urea in the presence of an acid catalyst. The product of this novel one-pot, three components synthesis that precipitated on cooling of the reaction mixture was identified as 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one and this reaction came to be known as “Biginelli reaction”, or “Biginelli condensation”, or “Biginelli dihydropyrimidine synthesis” after the name of its

    Faradaic Reaction In CDI process there are two reactions that might be happens, Faradaic reactions and non-Faradaic reactions. Ion transport and capacitive storage are categorized as non-Faradaic reaction which is standard process that hopefully happen in CDI process, while Faradaic reaction (i.e, redox reactions both on the surface of and within the carbon electrodes) may lead to the formation of chemical byproducts and/or pH fluctuations of the produced water [44], [45]. Faradaic reaction also could

    What is the effect of temperature on oxygen gas production in a Bos taurus liver catalase reaction, with substrate hydrogen peroxide, measured by a gas pressure sensor? Biological catalysts called enzymes are made by living cells and increase biochemical reactions that take place. Enzymes are globular proteins having a multiplex 3-dimensional structure, can increase the rate of chemical reactions without themselves being changed. Enzymes transform substrates into a product. Enzymes have a region

    Enzymes speed up chemical reactions enabling more products to be formed within a shorter span of time. Enzymes are fragile and easily disrupted by heat or other mild treatment. Studying the effect of temperature and substrate concentration on enzyme concentration allows better understanding of optimum conditions which enzymes can function. An example of an enzyme catalyzed reaction is enzymatic hydrolysis of an artificial substrate, o-Nitrophenylgalactoside

  • Horseradish Peroxidase Lab Report

    1090 Words  | 5 Pages

    ABSTRACT To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme will grab on (bind) to one or more reactant molecules. In this experiment we examined how increasing the volume of the extract added to the reaction would affect the rate of the reaction. The enzyme used was horseradish peroxidase which helps catalyze hydrogen peroxide. Using different pH levels, the absorbance rate of the reaction was measured to see at which condition the enzyme worked best. The rates of absorption were calculated using a spectrophotometer
