Product Code : SCL-MH-12633

The Advanced Organic Chemistry Experiment Kit by Educational Instrument India is a premier, curriculum-aligned laboratory solution designed for higher secondary schools, colleges, and university chemistry laboratories. This comprehensive kit provides all the essential reagents, specialized glassware, and instructional materials required to conduct core organic chemistry experiments safely and effectively.

Engineered to meet international educational standards, this kit bridges the gap between theoretical organic chemistry concepts and practical laboratory application, fostering deep conceptual understanding and rigorous scientific inquiry.

Key Experimental Modules Covered

This versatile kit is meticulously curated to cover eight fundamental topics in organic chemistry qualitative analysis and synthesis:

Presence of Carbon and Hydrogen: Identify the elemental presence of carbon and hydrogen in organic substances through copper(II) oxide oxidation.

Nitrogen Research in Organic Compounds: Perform elemental analysis to detect nitrogen using the classic Lassaigne’s extract method.

Preparation of Acetic Aldehyde (Acetaldehyde): Learn the principles of controlled oxidation of primary alcohols to synthesize

Preparation of Ethyl Acetate: Explore the mechanism of Fischer esterification through the reaction of ethanol and acetic acid:

Presence of Amino Acids in Protein Substances: Conduct biochemical assays (such as the Ninhydrin test) to recognize and identify amino acids in various protein samples.

Fehling's Test: Characterize functional groups by distinguishing between reducing sugars/aldehydes and non-reducing sugars/ketones.

Recognition of a Polysaccharide: Utilize iodine complexation tests to detect and analyze complex carbohydrates like starch.

Bakelite Preparation: Understand step-growth polymerization firsthand by synthesizing a durable phenol-formaldehyde resin (Bakelite).

How to Use the Kit

To ensure safety and maximize the educational value of the experiments, please adhere to the following operational framework:

Step 1: Preparation & Safety

Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including a laboratory coat, safety goggles, and nitrile gloves.

Conduct all synthesis experiments (such as the preparation of Acetaldehyde or Bakelite) inside a well-ventilated fume hood.

Step 2: Setup the Apparatus

Utilize the heavy-duty clamps and stand provided by Educational Instrument India to secure the borosilicate distillation setup or boiling flasks required for esterification or oxidation experiments.

Step 3: Execution & Reagent Handling

Follow the micro-scale or semi-micro quantities detailed in the included lab manual to minimize waste and ensure safety.

For colorimetric identification tests (like Fehling’s or Iodine tests), use the provided graduated droppers for precise measurement.

Step 4: Clean-up & Waste Disposal

Dispose of chemical waste according to local environmental regulations. Neutralize acids/bases as instructed in the safety manual before disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is this kit safe for high school students?

Yes. The kit is designed with a focus on semi-microscale chemistry to minimize risk. However, due to the use of concentrated reagents and polymerization processes (like Bakelite preparation), experiments should always be conducted under the direct supervision of a qualified instructor.

Q2: Can the reagents be replenished once they run out?

Absolutely. Educational Instrument India offers individual reagent refill packs for all eight experimental modules so you can reuse your glassware infrastructure indefinitely.

Q3: Does the kit include an instructor's manual?

Yes, every kit comes with a comprehensive teacher-student manual containing theoretical backgrounds, step-by-step procedures, expected experimental results, troubleshooting guides, and full MSDS sheets for all included chemicals.

Q4: What additional laboratory equipment is required?

While the kit contains all specialized reagents, specific test tubes, and key glassware, you will need standard laboratory utilities such as a Bunsen burner or heating mantle, a laboratory stand, and a water supply for condensers.
