To improve the yield of the ester the reaction should be heated using a high temperature. This would favour the formation of the products in this reaction, as the formation of an ester (esterification) is an endothermic reaction. Thus use of a high temperature will push the equilibrium to the right hand side, and a larger yield of the ester will be produced. To improve the yield of the Ester the reaction mixture could be refluxed for longer period of time so that more reactants are converted…

Purpose: The main purpose behind this experiment is to know the how the strength of the intermolecular forces changes with the molecular size and structures. Based on the examination of the evaporation of different liquids and by determining the vapor pressure of different alcohols at a different temperature. Producer: There will be two parts in this experiment to know the strength of the intermolecular forces of different liquids, to conclude the role of the molecular size and structure of…

example, placing solutions A and B in the warmed water increases the solution's temperature which causes the particles to collide more frequently due to kinetic molecular theory. By increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the rate of the reaction. (http://chemguide.co.uk/physical/basicrates/concentration.html)…

The purpose of the experiment is to determine the equilibrium constant of the reaction between Fe3+ ions and SCN2+ ions. In solutions one to five (the reference solutions), a large volume of concentrated Fe3+ ions was used in order to react with and convert all of the SCN2+ ions into FeSCN2+ ions. In solutions six to ten (the test solutions), a constant volume of Fe3+--in lesser concentration--and varying volumes of SCN2+ ions were diluted with DI water and reacted to produce an unknown amount…

determine the variations in boilingpoints of organic compounds. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the external or atmospheric pressure. At this temperature, every molecules of the liquid acquire enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces attracting them to the other molecules. Therefore, boiling points…

pH and initial nickel concentration as shown in Fig. 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The sorption rate was rapid at the beginning of the period. It was observed that the equilibrium uptake of nickel by immobilized spent yeast was occurred after 2 hours. Kinetic studies of adsorption To investigate the sorption mechanism, the constants of sorption were determined by using pseudo-first and second order equations. The plot of log(qe-qt) and t/ qt against time were used and all data were tested against…

higher temperature of the surrounding water solution will cause the rate of diffusion of the red pigment in betalain in Beetroot to be faster. The reason for this hypothesis is because when in a higher temperature, betalain molecules will gain more kinetic energy and they will vibrate more thus causing the diffusing rate from the beetroot to water to be faster than lower temperatures. This can be seen in the diagram below. If the temperature of the surrounding water solution increases, the…

We were further interested to elaborate our catalytic conditions to the Friedel-Crafts reaction of indoles with α-amido sulfone 8 as a precursor of N-Boc α-imino ethyl glyoxylate. The use of imino derivatives of glyoxylates as electrophiles in aza-Friedel–Crafts reaction afforded the corresponding 3-indolyl glycine derivatives, an important class of nonproteinogenic amino acids useful for synthetic intermediates and building blocks for natural products such as dragmacidins.[14] Although some…

This investigation’s aim was to observe the organic displacement clock reaction and see how different properties - such as concentration and temperature - affect the reaction rate. This was to enhance understanding and gain knowledge of how certain properties affect reaction mechanisms and activation energies, and how acid-base equilibria behaves. The data generally supported the hypothesis. It can be clearly seen that higher molarities of t-BuCl gave faster reaction rates, and it is an even…

Paragraph 1 The crystal chemical relationship between quartz (SiO2) and FePO4 can be studied by putting them under a temperature range of 294K to 1073K in an attempt to study the evolution of their structures. In doing so, we would able to examine the other quartz homeotypes that emerge during high temperatures and known to show a-b transitions. This study of quartz homeotypes were essential because the new information that was gathered would aid greatly in the creation of new products and more…
