WHAT IS FORMALIN? Formalin is the trade name for an organic compound made by formaldehyde and water. It has the chemical formula CH2O and its chemical structure is as shown in figure.1. Uses: Formaldehyde is used mainly in the production of plastics (such as urea-formaldehyde plastics which is used in many manufacturing processes due to its useful properties such as flexural modulus, and a high heat distortion temperature, high surface hardness, low water absorption, high tensile strength, mold…

error was most likely the cause of only resulting in 0.469 g of calcium chloride. What can be done to prevent this is to conduct a few trials using a timer to discover the optimum period of time the beaker of solution should be on the hot plate. The synthesis was conducted again for a second trial due to the large discrepancy between the theoretical mass and the actual mass of calcium chloride (Scheme…

through the process of a chemical change.it is important to understand their chemical properties in order to put it in the correct container that is appropiate. This means that the temperature, pressure, and concentration must remain consistent throughout time. However, a chemical change is sometimes required in order to understand the substance better. For example, some chemicals may need to be introduced to fingerprints which may not be visible to the eye. When chemicals are added to it, it…

Experiment 15B was conducted in order to learn about the Hantzsch 1,4-Dihydropyridine synthesis mechanism. Furthermore, this lab will give students a better understanding of the terms pharmacophore and a privileged structure. In order for this reaction to occur an aldehyde, ammonia, and two equivalents of a B-ketoester go through a one-pot cyclocondensation reaction. After 1,4-dihydropyridine is formed, it is then oxidized to form its pyridine derivative. Alcohol or Acetic acid is then used as a…

The theoretical yield of acetylsalicylic acid in grams that should be obtained from the synthesis is 3.96 g. The closest experimental yield was obtained without using a catalyst for the reaction; with a yield of 3.67 g (93%) of crude acetylsalicylic acid and a yield of 3.39 g (86%) of recrystallized acetylsalicylic acid. These results are relatively accurate. Similar results were obtained for the experimental yield of the reaction catalysed by concentrated sodium hydroxide; with a yield of 3.38…

as albuterol sulphate (10). Below is the chemical structure for albutemol sulphate. http://www.drugs.com/pro/ventolin.html Albutemol sulphate is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water, thus rendering it for good use as medication (10). The albutemol sulphate is suspended in hydrofluoroalkane propellant known as HFA – 134a, in asthma inhalers (12). The propellant HFA – 134a is the inactive component of salbutamol (10). Below is the chemical structure for HFA – 134a.…

Discussion and Scientific Explanations The main goals of this experiment was to find the unknown compound, to discover the compounds chemical and physical properties and create two synthesis of the compound and compare the two compounds. We found out our compound was ionic because the compound dissolved in water, but not in toluene or acetone by using a solubility test, results on Table 1 of the group lab report. On page 59 of the Cooperative Chemistry Laboratory Manual is a chart on suggested…

information in our nerves and is involved in processing this information in our brains. Moreover, the valence electrons are responsible for binding atoms to form molecules. The structural change of molecule is triggered by motion of electrons in the chemical bonds. Controlling this fast electron motion, in turn, allows to control the molecular structure change. Additionally, the ability to take snapshots of the electron motion dynamics will improve our…

Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory was to synthesize isopentyl acetate, commonly known as banana oil, in a reaction of methanol and isopentyl alcohol catalyzed by sulfuric acid. Through this Fischer esterification reaction, it was possible to learn about using a Reflux condenser to run a reaction as well as purifying the product through various washes and extractions along with simple distillation. In addition, the product of the experiment was carefully analyzed based upon boiling point,…

Coffactors Abstact Chemical reaction are a part of every ones life there no dening it this fact. But is there a way to increase these reations and make processed like reasperation and metablolism faster. That is exactly what cofactors are beleived to do, increasing the rate of reaction. In this experirment lactase, ONPG, EDTA, and phosphate buffer are used to determine wether or not cofactors really increase the rate of chemical reation. To measure the reaction a spectrometer will be used.…
