Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formation of sodium octadecylsulfate using tristearin as organic starting material is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Synthetic detergents avoid precipitation by using other functional groups in place of carboxylic acid salts. Sodium salts of sulfonic acids are the most widely used class of synthetic detergents. Sulfonic acids are more acidic than carboxylic acids and so in the acidic medium their salts are not protonated. Sodium octadecylsulfate is a type of detergent.

In addition to the separation techniques used in this lab (magnetism, evaporation, and filtering), there are other commonly used separation techniques. Some of these techniques are:Distillation – this process is used to separate components that have significantly different boiling points. The solution is heated and the lower boiling point substance is vaporized first. The vapor can be collected and condensed and the component recovered as a pure liquid. If the temperature of the mixture is then raised, the next higher boiling component will come off and be collected. Eventually only non-volatile components will be left in the original solution.Centrifugation – a centrifuge will separate mixtures based on their mass. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge tube which is then spun at a high speed. Heavier components will settle at the bottom of the tube while lighter components will be at the top. This is the technique used to separate red blood cells from blood plasma.Sieving – this is…
