Two period lab demonstrating the classification of reaction known as synthesis. 8 reactions in all were completed, equations written and balanced, and discussed.

Discuss synthesis, decomposition, and single displacement reactions. Use examples of each type of reaction equation, and have them balanced. Use the activity chart to determine which single displacement reactions will occur and which will not, based on their relative positions on the table.

Lab demonstrations to indicate that a chemical reaction has occurred. The lab involved the production of a gas, and testing for that gas. It also involved formation of precipitates of various colors. The measurement of endothermic and exothermic reactions. The change in indicator color due to acid or base production due to a chemical reaction. The production of heat and light when some reactions occur.

Work through a few lab preparations of some common esters which produce scents of pineapple, apples, and pears. Introduce the chapter on chemical reactions. Define what must occur to the atoms in a compound in order for a chemical reaction to happen. List 7 ways in which a chemical reaction can be determined, and discuss each one. Prepare for a lab exercise tomorrow to demonstrate each of the ways a reaction can be determined to have occured.

Lab to demonstrate the synthesis of an ester, oil of wintergreen.
Ester is derived from salicylic acid and methyl alcohol using sulfuric acid as a dehydrating agent

View and discuss the molecular structure of acetaminophen, or Tylenol. Work through the nomenclature. View the synthesis of aspirin by reacting salicylic acid with acetyldihydride to form acetylsalicylic acid.

Outline and discuss the structural chemistry of esters. Discuss the method of nomenclature, using the alcohol and acid names.
Outline the compound formed from acetic acid and methyl alcohol, name it methyl salicylate and indicate that it is compound which gives wintergreen its distinctive odor. Discuss uses for wintergreen. Outline the formation of methyl acetate. Outline the formation of acetylsalicylic acid from salicylic acid and acetyl dihydride, between known as aspirin.

Review structural formulas of organic acids, along with nomenclature. Sketch and discuss acetic acid, benzoic acid, and para amino benzoic acid. Introduce their use as preservatives and sun block agents. Discuss trichloro acetic acid's use as a wart remover.
Introduce the dissociation of the organic acids and a cation and an anion, along with their reaction to form a salt with inorganic bases.
Perform the lab which deals with the cooling affect of various alcohols, measure the temperature difference, determine the rate/minute and discuss the intramolecular forces involved.

Utilize the structural formulas to describe how organic acids can ionize into a negative anion and a hydronium ion. From these structures, write the synthesis equations to indicate the formation of sodium salts of the acids, most of which are preservatives.
Discuss and view some common and well known acids such as benzoic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid

Outline the structural formula of some common organic acids and their uses. Include antiseptics, preservatives, wart removers, skin peels, and soaps. Write the reaction which occurs between many of these acids and bases to form salts which are used as preservatives. Introduce the structural formulas for lactic acid and citric acid, discuss how lactic acid will sour milk and create sauerkraut from cabbage.
