Reactants:
Amount p-aminophenol used: mass 1.20g mol 0.0110 mol
Amount acetic anhydride used: mass 1.31 g mol 0.0128 mol
(Show Calculations) p-aminophenol amount calculation: Mol=Mass(g)/Molecular weight(g/mol)=
1.20g/(109 g/mol)=0.011 mol acetic anhydride amount calculation: Mass(g)=Volume(mL)xDensity(g/mL)=1.20mLx1.09g/mL=1.31g
Mol=Mass(g)/Molecular weight(g/mol)=1.31g/(102 g/mol)=0.0128 mol
Product:
Theoretical Yield of Tylenol: mass 1.66 g mol 0.0110 mol
(Show Calculations)
Above we see acetic anhydride exists in excess and p-aminophenol is the limiting reagent, therefore #mol p-aminophenol=#mol acetaminophen produced.
Theoretical yield; Moles acitaminophen x Molar mass acetaminophen=0.0110 molx151 g/mol= 1.66g

    To prepare 2-bromobutane in part one of the lab, you have to set up a flask apparatus with a thermowell and a Claisen adapter. Attached to the Claisen adapter is a thermometer measuring the temperature in the flask and a vertical condenser for reflux. Add in the reactants to the flask, sulfuric acid, 2-butanol, and ammonium bromide. Heat to 95OC and then maintain temperature for 30 minutes. Then, water was added and simple distillation began. The aqueous layer of the distillate was removed leaving the product, 2-bromobutane. For part 2, two drops of each of the following were placed in 3 different test tubes: 2-bromobutane, 1-bromoutane and 2-bromo-2-methylpropane. In each of the tubes an even amount of silver nitrate is added. Observations of the reactions precipitate are recorded. Same process is done with 2-chlorobutane, 2-iodobutane, and 2-bromobutane.…

    The best way to separate an acidic or basic compound from a mixture is through an extraction. With the use of the separatory funnel, the insoluble liquid (organic layer) is separated from the soluble liquid (aqueous layer). The purpose of this lab is to separate a mixture of benzoic acid from acetanilide.…

    The objective of this experiment was to learn the process of recrystallization and how this process removes the impurities from a pure solid compound. The methods used to achieve this objective were also hot vacuum filtration in order to remove suspended solid impurities, and isolating the pure acetanilide. In the next lab, percent recovered was obtained through weighing the acetanilide sample as well as comparing its melting point range.…

    Recrystallization is a method used to purify solid organic compounds. Using the recrystallization technique, a solid compound is dissolved in a solvent and the compound slowly crystallizes as the solution cools. Using a filtration technique, a pure solid is produced when the molecules of the impure particles in the compound are excluded from the crystal lattice. After obtaining the pure compound, a melting point determination procedure can be done using a mel-temp device to correctly identify the compound if its identity is unknown. In this experiment, the identity of a given unknown organic solid will be discovered using the methods of recrystallization and melting point determination.…
