Water Solubility Test of 2-FMA and 4-FA

[trentonmiller]

Water solubility test

Test water solubility of 2-FMA and 4-FA to see if findings are similar to those explained in other solubility tests.

Will test different amounts of the specimens (2-FMA and 4-FA) weighed in milligrams and pre-seperated in gel-caps, due to lack of other housing,
in different amounts of water and collect results.

After results are collected and analyzed, solutions will be disposed of.

I will be obtaining everything to do the experiment and doing it as described:

To verify that a compound has dissolved, add 5% HCl to the NaOH mixture until the solution is acidic to pH paper.
Look for a precipitate, indicating that the water-soluble salt has converted back into the water-insoluble compound.
Solubility in NaOH indicates either the carboxylic acid or phenol.

What are 2-FMA and 4-FA? Without names or structures, one lacks a critical piece of information. Also, It is unclear to me what you are asking? What question does this test address? Are you having difficulty performing it?
