Product Information
In this lab, students learn techniques of organic synthesis by reacting an alcohol and an acid to form an ester. Students will go through the techniques of refluxing, extractions, and distillation; then the theoretical yield and the percent yield will be determined. This lab was designed to align to AP Lab Standard #22 - Synthesis, Purification, and Analysis of an Organic Compound. Distillation setup is required but not included.
