Lab Report Steam Distillation - 1025 Words

Introduction: Steam distillation is a process used often in chemistry to extract a particular component of a mixture at a temperature above the temperature where the substance starts to degrade. As a homogeneous mixture is cooled while being exposed to a component in gaseous form, the partial pressures of the parts (hypothetical pressure of a gas if it had the same volume as the total volume at the same temperature) increases over time. Extraction can occur when the sum of the partial pressures is greater than the atmospheric pressure. Two qualitative tests are conducted in this lab: one with KMnO4 and another using FeCl3. KMnO4 (potassium permanganate) is able to oxidize a double bond forming a 1,2-diol at room temperature. This tests for a presence of a double bond and a positive test is a color change from purple to brown. FeCl3 (iron (III) chloride) reacts with phenols, forming into chemical complexes with different colors. This tests for a presence of a phenol group and a positive test is a color change from yellow to blue, green, red, or purple. Eugenol, or clove oil, has a double bound with a phenol group attached to it so when tested with potassium permanganate and iron (III) chloride, positive results should occur. These tests will help check if eugenol was successfully extracted. The purpose of this experiment is to isolate clove oil from freshly ground cloves by steam distillation and then analyze the clove oil with the two tests described above.

You will then separate a component (acetyleugenol) from the oil by liquid-liquid extraction. Finally, you will isolate the acetyleugenol by using a rotovap for reduced pressure distillation, which will remove the organic solvent (dichloromethane). Background Whole cloves contain between 14% and 20% by weight of essential oils, butRead MoreIsolation And Identification Of Essential Oils1321 Words   |  6 PagesOils Lab Report Name: Lauryn Tonou Partner’s name: Tiffany Keener Date submitted: 11/02/2015 Introduction Essential oils are the concentrated extracts of volatile, non-water-soluble aroma compounds from plants. They are widely used in cleaning products, cosmetic products, and perfumes, also as flavorings in foods. Essential oils are actually mixtures of organic compounds sample. However, the purpose of the lab will be to isolate and identify essential oils through steam distillation whichRead MoreEssay Separation of Benzoic Acid and Acetanilide1243 Words   |  5 PagesChem 3100 Thursday 9am-1:45pm Olumba Obu Unknown #: 146 Fall-11 Organic Chemistry Midterm Report 13 October 2011 Table of Contents Separation of Benzoic Acid and Acetanilide 3 Extraction and Purification of Caffeine from Tea 4 Extraction of Trimyristin from Nutmeg 5 Conversion of t-butanol to t-butyl chloride 6 Appendix 7 Calculations 8 Literature and Experimental Values of Benzoic Acid and Acetanilide 9 Experimental Caffeine IR 10 Literature CaffeineRead MorePreparation of 2-butanone832 Words   |  4 PagesNor Amirah Farhana Nawawi, Mia Organic Chemistry Lab Report 2 Jessica Sammons TITLE: Preparation of 2-butanone INTRODUCTION: The goal of this experiment was to prepare 2-butanone from 2-butanol. Chromic acid was used in this experiment to in order to prepare 2-butanol. Cr (VI) is rather orange, but Cr (III) is dark green - therefore by oxidizing the alcohol (2-butanol), an orange Cr (IV) is reduced to green. NMR and IR tests were taken to determine the result, and the crystallized derivative ofRead MoreSalt-Water Mixture Lab Report1866 Words   |  8 Pagesobservations recorded throughout the duration of this experiment. First off, salt-water is a homogeneous mixture, meaning that the composition is uniform throughout. In addition, water is a substance that evaporates when exposed to heat and turns into steam. The water changed state from a liquid to a gas because the water reached its boiling point, while the salt was still in solid form, just as it had been in the mixture. In simpler words, salt-water can be separated through evaporation because waterRead MoreWbut Syllabus 1st Sem11442 Wor ds   |  46 PagesCODE: HU 101 CONTACT: 2L CREDIT: 2 PAPER NAME: ENGLISH LANGUAGE TECHNICAL Guidelines for Course Execution: Objectives of the Course: This Course has been designed 1.

Process control is achieved by using large amounts of nitric acid (Bayer Polymers, 2003). Nitrogen oxides are removed by bleaching with air, water is removed by vacuum distillation, and the adipic acid is separated from the nitric acid and KA mixture by distillation column. Liquid adipic acid is crystallized by crystallizer. Further refining, typically recrystallization from water is needed to achieve polymer-grade material.
