Organic Chemistry Lab Report

I’m working on a chemistry discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

For the reaction part, you can just draw it out and I will insert it online. No need to download the website. Please use the following pdfs for the lab report. I have also included an example of a good report so you can base it on that. 

Lab used is the Esterficiation Lab

Data:

*Exact mass of isoamyl alcohol used = 0.881g (0.010mol x 88.15g/mol = 0.881g)

*Exact mass of carboxylic acid = 0.663g (0.011mol x 60.05g/mol = 0.663g)

*Percent yield calculation = 26.69%

0.881g of alcohol x 1mol/ 88.15 g/mol x 1mol/1mol x 130.18 g/mol / 1mol = 1.30g

0.347g / 1.30g x 100 = 26.69%

*Odor of Ester : Banana smell

*Mass of product: 0.347g

1. one C-H stretch, one C-O stretch, and the C=O stretch you found for your FT-IR was from the IR graph attached:

C-H: 2959.10

C=O: 1739.23 

C-O: 1055.29

2. Identify any impurity found on FT-IR IF there was any impurity detected

Answer: Water was detected the first time. Second time there was no impurity.
