Introduction
Dehydration is defined as a process of removing water from a substance. The loss of water from a molecule is called dehydration which is exactly opposite with the process of hydrolysis. Dehydration is an elimination reaction of an alcohol involves the loss of an OH from one carbon and an H from an adjacent carbon. Overall, this amounts to the elimination of a molecule of water, resulting in a pi-bond formation of an alkene or alkyne. In most of the dehydration of alcohol, heat and catalyze are needed in the reaction. Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4) are the most commonly used acid catalysts.
The dehydration process can be carried out by in two ways. The first way is heating a mixture of alcohol and dehydrating

agent in a distilling flask and collecting the olefin (also known as alkene) from the mixture. The second way is passing the alcohol vapour through a heated tube packed with the dehydrating agent at 350°C. The collecting the olefin as it emerges from the tube. The chemical equation for dehydration of alcohol to form alkene and water is shown as below diagram: Objective The objective of this exercise is to prepare cyclohexene from cyclohexanol and determine the efficiency of this conversion. Procedure Begin with putting a distillation apparatus together.
Use glassware as directed by your instructor. Place a test tube placed inside a beaker with ice water to collect the product from the apparatus. Obtain the 10mL round bottom flask from the apparatus. Obtain two graduated cylinders of 10mL. On one graduated cylinder measure 4mL (85% H3PO4) of Phosphoric Acid and pour into the 10mL round bottom flask. On the other graduated cylinder measure 3mL of Cyclohexanol and pour into the flask as well. With a pipet add 5 drops of Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) into the flask. Attach the round bottom flask to the distillation apparatus. Place thermometer with rubber stopper on the apparatus to obtain the temperature Start with the water flow through the condenser. Turn on and heat the reaction until the product starts to distill. Distill and collect until thermometer temperature rises to 85˚C. Once there is no more product to collect obtain the test tube of product. Two layers should be formed, top layer of cyclohexane and bottom layer with water. Obtain a pipette and remove the bottom layer (water) if any. Add 10% (5mL) of Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) to nuclearize any acid in the solution. Mix well and remove once again the bottom layer of water with pipette. Add 5mL of water and mix well to wash the top layer. After the two layers form again, remove entirely the bottom layer of water and add a few pellets of Calcium Chloride. Obtain a 50mL or 100mL beaker and weigh.
Decant just the dry cyclohexane into the beaker to obtain weigh of product. Calculate the percent yield and obtain IR spectrum or measurement.

The cyclohexanol is a six carbon aromatic hydrocarbon which one of the hydrogen atoms, H is substituted by one hydroxyl group, OH-. Due to the low melting point, the cyclohexanol appear in liquid form at room temperature. The dehydration process of alcohol will convert cyclohexanol which the hydroxyl group, OH- will be removed to become cyclohexene. Cyclohexene is a six carbon aromatic hydrocarbon with a single double bond in the molecule. The solution is added with concentrated phosphoric acid in a round bottomed flask and is mixed together by swirling. The phosphoric acid is added as catalyze as such increase the rate of reaction in dehydration without affects the particular chemical reaction. The temperature of mixture is heated until approximate 85.5°C since this temperature is the boiling point of cyclohexene and hence the pure cyclohexene could be obtained rapidly. The weight of the cyclohenexe is 1.042g.
The goal of this experiment is to determine which products are formed from elimination reactions that occur in the dehydration of an alcohol under acidic and basic conditions. The process utilized is the acid-catalyzed dehydration of a secondary and primary alcohol, 1-butanol and 2-butanol, and the base-induced dehydrobromination of a secondary and primary bromide, 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane. The different products formed form each of these reactions will be analyzed using gas chromatography, which helps understand stereochemistry and regioselectivity of each product formed.
Start with the hot water and first measure the temperature. Record it. 8. Then pour 40 ml into the beaker. You can measure how much water was used by looking at the meniscus.
Each subsequent trial will use one gram more. 2.Put baking soda into reaction vessel. 3.Measure 40 mL vinegar. 4.Completely fill 1000 mL graduated cylinder with water.
Experiment: First prepared a well plate with the appropriate amounts of distilled water, HCl, and Na2S2O3 in each well according to the lab manual. The well where the reaction
Repeat for each trial. Rinse volumetric pipette with vinegar and drain into the waste beaker. Weigh and record the mass of each 200mL beaker. Add 10.00mL of vinegar into each beaker and weigh them and record their again. Add 50mL of de-ionized water to the beakers and place them under the drop counter on top of a stir plate, submerging the pH meter into the solution. Place the stir bar into the beaker and carefully turn on the stir plate so that the stir bar spins without splashing or hitting the sides of the beaker or the pH
The experiment is aimed at giving a better understatement of osmosis process and the different conditions in which osmosis occurs.
Dehydration can happen at any age and from a variety of primary causes including diarrhea, vomiting, use of diuretics, exercise, and exposure to extreme heat. The body has compensatory mechanisms to balance mild dehydration or fluid deficit of 2-4%; however, moderate fluid deficit of 5-8% can lead to electrolyte imbalances, postural hypotension, and dryness in skin and mucous membranes (Porth, 2011). In severe dehydration, or fluid deficits greater than 8% severe hypotension and shock can occur (Porth, 2011). The circulatory system has its own compensatory mechanisms for fluid volume deficits. These include changes in cardiac output, heart rate, and blood pressure.
2. In the large beaker, put water and boil it completely. After that, remove the beaker from heat. 3. Sample tubes (A-D) should be labeled and capped tightly.
In a 100ml beaker place 50mls of water, measure the temperature of the water and record this initial temperature onto a table. Set the timer and add one teaspoon of Ammonium Nitrate to the water, stir this continuously until the Ammonium Nitrate has dissolved.
Actually the nature of body, itself indicate the dehydration condition by regulate self mechanism. The thirst is body’s ways of telling that it needs the fluid. The thirst is the craving for fluids which is the sign of dehydration, resulting in the basic instinct of animals to drink. It is a mechanism involved for regulation of body in water balance. It arises when the water volume of the body falls below a certain threshold level. Because of that osmolite concentration becomes too high and the message go to the nervous system which cause the thirst is triggered. When the 2% body is hydrated that time thirst occurs and the mouth become dry. But in view of the fact that severe dehydration also not affect on the body but also mild dehydration also serious causes on the body. As thirst sense more slowly, it is difficult to understand the dehydrated situation. Furthermore sensation of thirst is gradually decreasing as raise the dehydration situation. This mild dehydration too effect on body by decreasing performance, energy level, consciousness, person’s mood. One of the lead scientists ...
Humans use water on a daily basis, in everything from drinking, to cleaning, and for recreational uses in pools or waterparks. But the human body itself is the main contester in how it is used. Water is a dissolving essential in vitamins and nutrients for food and for delivering them to cells. Our bodies also use water to flush out toxins, regulate body temperature, and aid our metabolism. The human body is 50-75 percent water, and when that water is lost in digestion or sweat, it needs to be replenished to continue functioning.

Glycolysis is the first stage of the breakdown of one molecule of glucose. Within this step, the glucose ring becomes phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is a process of adding a phosphate group to a molecule, which is therefore resulting in ATP. Hexokinase is used within this stage of the reaction to catalyse the phosphorylation of a 6-membered glucose ring. As a result of this, a molecule called Glucose-6-phosphate is formed.
For simple distillation, I added 4 mL of a 10-20% ethanol-water mixture to a 5 mL round-bottomed long-necked flask. I joined the flask to a distilling head fitted with a thermometer through...
Also known as alcoholic fermentation, this process is occurs in an anaerobic environment. In alcoholic fermentation, glucose molecules are degraded into two molecules of ethanol and two molecules of carbon dioxide. In production of alcohol, first, glycolysis process will breakdown glucose molecule into to pyruvic acid. Then, carboxyl group of the pyruvic acid will be removed and causing carbon dioxide to be excreted. The NADH then left its hydrogen onto the second carbon molecule creating ethanol. The overall chemical reaction are as follows :
