Butan-1-ol is a primary alcohol that is butane in which a hydrogen of one of the methyl groups is substituted by a hydroxy group. It it produced in small amounts in humans by the gut microbes. It has a role as a protic solvent, a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a primary alcohol, a short-chain primary fatty alcohol and an alkyl alcohol.
Calcium sulfate (or calcium sulphate) is the inorganic compound with the formula CaSO4 and related hydrates. In the form of γ-anhydrite (the anhydrous form), it is used as a desiccant. One particular hydrate is better known as plaster of Paris, and another occurs naturally as the mineral gypsum.
EDTA, is a chelating agent with many applications in molecular biology. EDTA is often used in buffers as a metal ion inhibitor to maintain the stability and integrity of biological samples. EDTA binds to metal cations by forming a stable octahedral complex.
Sodium sulfate anhydrous is a chemical compound with the formula Na2SO4. This compound appears as a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. The anhydrous form indicates that it contains no water molecules in its structure, which is important for certain chemical processes.
Sodium sulfate anhydrous is commonly used in the manufacture of detergents, glass, and textiles, as well as in the chemical industry for various synthesis processes.
The purpose of adding sodium thiosulfate is to remove the excess iodine from the reaction mixture. This is important because iodine is a strong oxidizing agent and can cause side reactions with the organic compounds in the mixture.
