Organic chemistry lab on Oxidation Puzzle Sample Questions 1. 2. 4. Write a mechanism for the reaction of 2-butanol with sodium hypochlorite in an acetic acid solution. Provide two disadvantages associated with using dichromate for the process of oxidation (i.e. justify why you will be using NaOCl instead of dichromate). What is the purpose of adding NaHSO, solution to the reaction? Draw all of the possible products which could form if two equivalents of NaOCI are used in the oxidation...
Hi, can anyone please help me with this? i have no clue how to define if a reaction is Oxidation reduction or not. Thanks a lot OXIDATION-REDUCTION Introduction Chemists refer to reactions which involve a transfer of electrons from one reactant to another as oxidation reduction reactions of just "redox" reactions. Oxidation is defined as a loss of electron and reduction as a gain of electron by a substance during a chemical reaction. The loss of electrons by one substance...
1 - Provide a balanced equation for this reaction 2 - Provide a mechanism for the transformation of cyclohexanol into cyclohexanone 3 - Provide a flow chart for the workup procedure for isolating cyclohexane from all the by-products, making sure to note in which layer you expect to find your product in each extraction. 4 - Provide the theoretical yield of cyclohexane in this experiment. PROCEDURE OXIDATION OF CYCLOHEXANOL TO CYCLOHEXANONE Set up a water bath as the heat source...
Attached is the lab experiment. Here are the questions I need help with: 1. What is the purpose of each of the following steps in this experiment? a. Adding solid NaCl to the reaction mixture b. Repeated washings with water, sat'd NAHCO3, and brine c. the pipet column chromatography 2. Which compound, cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone will have a higher Rf on a TLC plate? 3. What is the advantage of using sodium hypochlorite as an oxidant over CrO3 or Na2Cr2O7...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
