Published 31/03/22A Message from the Students of Year 12
Trip to Oxford University 22nd March 2022.
Last week, 32 Year 12 students were given the amazing opportunity to visit University of Oxford’s new Chemistry teaching labs which are used by the undergraduates studying there. As part of the programme, we synthesised esters (a type of organic molecule) from different reactants to produce unique fruity fragrances, such as orange or strawberry; the resulting fragrance depended on the reactants we used. The experience of getting hands-on with new and advanced equipment as well as using techniques we had only previously learnt about in theory was invaluable. This included using vacuum distillation to separate liquids at lower temperatures. We also applied Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy to analyse organic molecules in order to determine the molecular structure and purity of the esters. The expertise and friendly support from all the staff there, including our own Mrs Pons and Dr Xu, truly enhanced the experience.
