Extração do óleo da casca da laranja e rotatividade específica do óleo

The formula for limonene is C10H16, thanks to Professor Eduardo Rolim for the correction. Procedure: From the crushed peel of three oranges, we obtained orange peel oil through hydrodistillation. The peels were blended in a blender with water and sand, and transferred to a flask, coupled to a Dean-Stark apparatus and condenser. After one hour, I turned off the distillation and obtained 1.5 g of peel oil, composed mainly of S-limonene. The specific rotation value was determined using a polarimeter. Orange peel oil can also be obtained by pressing. To learn more about the stereochemistry of organic molecules: https://www.amazon.com.br/Fundamentos... I thank Davi Lazzarotto for the opening music and Jorge Cândido Goulart, from the experimental sector of the Organic Chemistry Department at UFRGS, who instructed me on measuring the specific turnover value of orange peel oil.
