than aerobic cellular respiration. There are two types of fermentation-lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. In this experiment, the main focus will be on alcoholic fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation results in the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide produced is evident in the form of bubbles. This type of fermentation is presented in experiments using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or baker’s yeast. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a form of unicellular fungi…

until the orange/red color disappeared or was less intense. After, the solution was cooled in an ice water bath. Once crystals formed, the solution was filtered using a funnel. The product was then recrystallized from 95% ethanol and water. In order to do this, the amount of ethanol used was multiplied by 0.8 and the calculated amount was the amount of water used for the recrystallization process. The dried purified product was weighed and the percent yield was calculated. With this product, the…

first under shade in room temperature and secondly in a hot-air oven for complete drying at 50-60˚C. The dried fruits were made into coarse powder by grinding and stored in labelled bottles for further study and extracted with organic solvents like Ethanol. Fresh thorns also grinded and extracted with same extract. Preparation of aqueous, methanolic and ethanolic extracts of fresh and dried fruits of Tribulus terrestris Linn. The fresh fruits of Tribulus terrestris Linn. were weighed out and…

Hello everyone! Today, I’ll be excitedly speaking to you about my absolute favorite alcoholic beverage…wine! Also, I intend to educate by sharing information about some of the unknown benefits of aerating wine. Aerating certain wines will reduce ethanol and sulfites, help to remove sediment, and enhance the flavor profile, texture, and aromas (Smith, 2015). In my drinking years, I have consumed countless bottles of wine, and there are significant differences in aerated wine. Wines that have…

drained well and recrystallised using Ethanol. Scheme-2: Synthesis of N-substituted Tetrahydrocarbazoles Suspended 1 gm (0.07 mol) of substituted tetrahydrocarbazole in 20 mL of 10% NaOH solution into a well corked conical flask and add 2 mL of substituted acid chloride with constant shaking for 10 min. until the odour has disappeared and then it was cooled. Filtered and washed the synthesized N-Substituted derivative using water and recrystallized with ethanol. Computational…

Chalcone and Pyrylium Syntheses and Analyses Done by: Natalie Almond & Sophie Troyer in approved collaboration Introduction Photoredox catalysis uses light to excite the catalytic compounds, producing an effective oxidizing agent.1 The oxidizing agent can remove an electron from the desired compound for reaction, making it easier to synthesize molecules.1 One example of the utility of photoredox catalysis is the “production of lignan cyclobutanes,” which have many important pharmaceutical…

The purpose of this lab was to iodonize salicylamide and characterize the product in order to determine its structure. The crude product of this reaction was recrystallized using ethanol. The white crystalline product was isolated using vacuum filtration and characterized. The percent yield of this reaction was determined to be 39%. The observed experimental melting point of the product was determined to be 235-137 oC. When compared to the literature melting point 228 oC of the predicted product…

the sake of extraction, spinach is first dehydrated with 100% ethanol so that extraction is more efficient. It is then extracted using dichloromethane (DCM) and maceration. The chlorophyll and β-carotene pigments are dissolved into the organic DCM layer which is polar and does not mix with water. The solution is then washed with sodium chloride (NaCl) to draw out any remaining water left in the solution that was not dried out by the ethanol. [1] Water will move toward the more hypertonic…

I. Abstract The experiment was about using a method of recrystallization to reform benzoic acid and unknown compound, and identifying that compound. The main principle is the polarity and solubility of compound. The compound was dissolved completely with distilled water in hot temperature and reformed back in cold environment. After the experiment, there were up to more than 50% of the compound being recrystallized and the unknown compound had the melting point at 165.2oC. The experiment…

Aims: The objectives of this experiment are to carry out the process of synthesising aspirin and reinforce both the skills of recrystallisation and melting point determination. In this experiment, we are supposed to measure the amount of aspirin collected to calculate the percentage yield of aspirin. Apart from that, we are also required to find the melting point of aspirin. Introduction: 1.1: aspirin Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is an aromatic compound containing both a…
