In a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a clamp, stir 40 ml of MeOH and 1.3 g of solid NaOH at room temperature to make a solution. 2. In another 250 ml round bottom flask, add 130 ml of vegetable oil and heat the flask with the oil to 50 °C using a water bath with magnetic stirring. 3. Add methoxide solution to the oil and stir the mixture for 1 hour, maintaining the indicated temperature. 4. Transfer the flask contents to a separatory funnel and allow the mixture to stand until the two layers separate. The top layer corresponds to biodiesel and the bottom layer is the glycerol. 5. Use the separatory funnel stopcock to separate the two layers. If the glycerol does not pour freely, the biodiesel can be removed from the top of the separatory funnel using a pipette. 5. Measure the resulting volume with a graduated cylinder and weigh the same cylinder to determine the density.

In a test tube, dissolve 10 drops of methanol in 3 ml. of water. Oxidize a copper wire spiral by passing it through a Bunsen burner. Plunge the red-hot wire into the alcohol solution several times, cooling the solution under the tap (faucet) so as not to evaporate too much of it. Next, add 1 drop of 0.5% resorcinol solution. Measure 2 ml. of concentrated sulfuric acid (CAUTION!) and pour this carefully down the sides of the test tube containing the mixture. Note the color of the zone intermediate between the acid and the solution. RESULT:

Emmett, a sophomore chemistry major, was trying to separate an unknown mixture. His instructor told him that there was a carboxylic acid, phenol, and amine present in the mixture. He dissolved 3 g of the unknown in 10 ml of t-butyl methyl ether. He then added 10 ml of 3M sodium hydroxide to the mixture. He used a separatory funnel to separate the layers and collected the aqueous layer in an Erlenmeyer flask labeled fraction 1. Then he added 10 ml of 1.5M sodium bicarbonate to the remaining ether. He separated the layers, and collected the aqueous layer in an Erlenmeyer flask labeled fraction 2. Finally he added 10 ml of 1.5 M hydrochloric acid to the ether, and separated the aqueous later in an Erlenmeyer flask labeled fraction 3. Emmett neutralized the respective fractions. He obtained precipitate in fraction 1, and fraction 3. He ran an IR of the solid obtained in fraction 1 and saw a broad absorption at 3500-3300 cm-1 and a sharp absorption at 1710 cm-1. Fraction 3 showed…
