Ethyl ethanoate

EVERYTHING YOU RESEARCH NEEDS TO BE REFERENCED.

• An introduction to the assignment, what you will be looking at in your report (use assignment brief context).

• What is ethyl ethanoate, what is it used for?

• Risk assessment for all methods and chemicals used.

• Method used step by step making sure to use the words, reflux, distill, purify, use diagrams/pictures of your set up in reflux and distillation, how did you set it up to not cause strain on the components?

• What happens during reflux, what happens during distillation?

• Explain why each step was taken, what should hopped at each stage.

• What steps did you do in your method and testing that were skillful?

• Expected results of boiling points from distillation and SjAcic>pp,f1method.

• How does each test of boiling point work? What are the literature values? How accurate can you be?

• Are boiling point and IR the best way to measure purity?

• IR spectroscopy, how does it work, what peaks are you looking for in your results? Comment on your purity.

• Are your purity tests reliable? • What is yield and how did you try and produce the highest yield? How did you try and get a pure substance?

• How is ethyl ethanoate (ethyl acetate) produced in industry? Describe Scale. Equipment, raw materials, testing for purity.

• How is your method similar and different to the industrial method? How is the equipment similar and different?

• How will the yield be increased in industry? How is this similar to your method?

• How do they test for purity in industry? Are they more reliable than melting point and IR?
