Refractive index of Vanillin and p-bromobenzophenone

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding the refractive index for vanillin and p-bromobenzophenone as part of an organic chemistry assignment. The refractive index for vanillin is noted as 1.555, but the user is unsure of the temperature at which this value is measured, suspecting it may vary. Suggestions include consulting the CRC Handbook for chemical properties, although the user reports difficulty finding relevant information, specifically for p-bromobenzophenone. Another participant suggests that the refractive index can likely be assumed at 25°C, which is a common standard temperature for such measurements. The conversation highlights the challenges of sourcing specific chemical data in textbooks and online resources.

Hi,

I have an organic chemistry assignment identifying an unknown sample. My tutor has asked for the properties (I can find all but refractive index) for vanillin and p-bromobenzophenone.

I found that for Vanillin it is 1.555 but I know that it changes with temperature and I cannot find a temperature for this reading.

I was just wondering if anyone knows a good website or has a good chemistry textbook lying around with this information (I couldn't find it in the VOGEL text...)

Kind regards,

I downloaded the handbook and only found dibromobenzophenone.

Any other ideas please?

Where do you download the CRC handbook?

Probably safe to assume 25C.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
