In the second part, you will explore the mechanism and kinetics of a chemical reaction of your compound. In part 3, you will analyze this slightly acidic compound via an acid/base titration. Finally, in part 4, you will assay it for purity by a colorimetric analysis and by a gravimetric analysis. Key Questions for Part 1, Synthesis: What is the purpose of each reagent in the reaction? Why is it included? What is the limiting reagent in the reaction? How can I maximize the purity of my synthesized compound?
