Commercial Asa Synthesis Lab Report

The serial 2-fold dilution were done with a volumetric pipette, its pump, and 10 mL volumetric flasks. Eight different solutions were produced, half of which came from Red 40 and the other half, from Blue 1. These different concentrated solutions were placed in a 10 mL volumetric flask, each labelled with either R for Red 40

ABSTRACT NRC-04, a novel antimicrobial peptide derived from skin mucous secretions of flat fish winter flounder, shows a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. In order to understand the conformational change of NRC-04 in different types of membrane, our team did experiments on NRC-04 with negatively charged bacterial surface membrane mimetic micelles sodium dodecyl sulphate(SDS), zwitterionic eukaryotic middle membrane mimetic micelles dodecylphosphocholine(DPC), gram-negative bacteria outer membrane mimetic micelles Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and bacterial inner membrane mimetic micelles 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol(POPG). Fluorescence test shows that the C-terminus tryptophan residue of NRC-04 interacts with the hydrophobic

Using method 2, the product appear as white crystals. Given that the yellow color remain throughout the product in method 2, too much aldehyde was added. It was predicted that this was the source of error because aldehyde was a yellow liquid. In this experiment, 293 mg of aldehyde was weighted for method 1 instead of 250 mg and.

All Group two compounds were all white and crystal looking this was due to the reason that all these were salts and mainly all slats are white crystal looking. The pH levels of the compounds diverse from approx. 7 to some of the alkaline solution producing a pH of 10. The difference in the pH levels is due to the alkalinity or acidity of the corresponding bases. Sulphates, Chlorides all had relatively low pH’s suggesting that all these bases are weak bases.

Limiting reagents can be easily determined on paper with stoichiometry, however, observing how it actually works is essential. This lab is focused on putting stoichiometry to use by determining and observing  the limiting reagent in the given, balanced reaction. In the field of chemistry, many want to produce a product by reacting to reactants that will create a certain amount of a product. In order to complete this, a chemist requires a balanced equation that states the exact amounts of reactants required to produce an exact amount of a product.

The Identity of the unknown, in this case unknown A, was determined to be acetyl salicylic acid. This was determined by comparing the melting points of the purified unknown crystals to the crude unknown. The known melting point range for acetyl salicylic acid is 135°C -136°C. The Unknown’s melting point was slightly off at 128.6°C - 132°C. This can be due to impurities of the crystals during the purification process.

Reactivity of Metals in Single-Replacement Reactions A lab was conducted to test the reactivity of metals in single-replacement reactions. This lab was done to solve the problem of which metals will replace each other in single-replacement reactions. A single replacement reaction is a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another. It was presumed before the experiment that the location of the metal on the Activity Series chart would thus determine the reactivity of the metal.

Isopentyl acetate was prepared by fluxing it with alcohol with also some mixture of acetic acid and hydrochloric acid. The acetate was obtained by distillation method with 0.41g and a percent yield of 20%. The mass obtained in this experiment was approximately two times lower compare to the mass in the lab manual book. This might occur during the extraction of the aqueous solution in each step of the experiment. Due to the low of the mass of isopentyl acetate, the percentage yield (20%) was like three or 4 times lower than the normal percent yield of the product.

Lab Report 5: Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) Synthesis Name: Divya Mehta Student #: 139006548 Date Conducted: November 19th 2014 Date Submitted: November 26th 2014 Partner’s Name: Kirsten Matthews Lab Section: Wednesday 2:30 L9 IAs Name: Brittany Doerr Procedure: For the procedure, see lab manual (CH110 Lab Manual, Fall 2014) pages 96-98. Wilfrid Laurier University Chemistry Department. Fall 2014. Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) Synthesis.

Aspirin is considered a “polydrug” due to its variety of uses stretching from pain-relief to disease prevention. Salicylic acid is derived from the bark and leaves of the willow tree. Salicylic acid belongs to a group of phytochemicals which have been shown to have positive effects on human health. Salicylic acid is a phenolic compound that can be found in a variety of plants and is a crystal organic carboxylic acid. However, it is more commonly viewed as the primary metabolite and active compound of acetyl salicylic acid, which has been used as an anti-inflammatory drug by physicians for over 100 years.

3. Results and discussion 3.1. Exploratory experiments with MM1. In the present work, 17 ILs with different cations and anions were synthesized to evaluate the effect of different molecular structures on the extraction of N-compounds.

Introduction Aluminum is a significant good in modern society due to its many uses in commercial goods. Because aluminum is consumed so rapidly, it becomes somewhat expensive to extract it from its original source. In recent years, there has been a push toward the recycling of aluminum through electrolytic reactions resulting in significant decreases in cost and aluminum production. Materials and Methods Using a scoopula 1.2141 grams of aluminum can pieces were weighted on an analytical balance and placed inside a 250mL beaker. On end of a rubber cord was then connected to the aspirator (located on the lab table) while the other end was connected to a funnel, functioning as a fume hood.

Mass is anything that takes up space. Mass is made up of small subatomic particles called atoms. Atoms have three main parts electrons, protons, and neutrons. The mass of the atom is found in the nucleus. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created nor destroyed, and that the mass of the reactants will be equal to the mass of the products.

The reagents used were Diphenylamine reagent which contains concentrated H2SO4. The standard solution used for this test is the deoxyribose standard solution. In the sample, only a faint blue solution appeared, which indicates a small presence of deoxyribose. In test for Phosphate, the standard solution was the Phosphate solution and the reagents used were concentrated H2SO4, concentrated HNO3, 2.5% ammonium molybdate solution.

2. Experimental method 2.1 Synthesis of PbSe and PbSe: Nd nanoparticles Neodymium doped PbSe samples (Pb1-xNdxSe) with x=0, 0.05, 0.10 at pH 5 were prepared by wet chemical precipitation technique, adding hydrazine hydrate as the precipitating agent at room temperature. Freshly prepared aqueous solution and analytical grade lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2), neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) and selenium dioxide (SeO2) were used as precursor materials. Initially, 2 g of lead nitrate and 0.555 g selenium dioxide were separately dissolved in 60 ml of double distilled water in three neck flask and stirred for 30 min. Conversion of neodymium oxide into nitrate by adding 2N nitric acid in a water bath is used as dopant precursor.
