Goals
In this four-week experiment you will synthesize a compound and purify it in week 1. In week 2 you will assay it for purity by colorimetric analysis and by gravimetric analysis. In week 3, you will analyze your compound by titration of its acidity. Finally, in weeks 3 and 4 your will explore the mechanism and kinetics of a chemical reaction of your compound.

Key Questions
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?
