qualitative (want to see what is present, not how much)

besides being good for isolation/purification, what else can tlc do

quantitative tool for telling you how much of each component present

purpose of vacuum filtration

rapidly separating solids from liquids

why are rf values useful

rate at which organic compound elutes is highly characteristic and can be used to id it

what does Rf stand for

ratio of fronts retention factor

solubility issues in rxns

reactants tend to have diff solubilities

sodium bicarbonate mechanism

reacts with ptotic acid to form sodium salt and carbonic acid

flourescant finger print

really just a spot that wandered off

which experiment is most likely to cause a fire

recrystallization

what are the four major methods of purification

recrystallization extraction distillation chromatography

after hot filtration, what should be done if crystals form

reheat and stir

purpose of drying tube

removes moisture from gas extending the life of the column and detector

what to do if product is still remaining in funnel

rinse sample flask with hot solvent and pour that into funnel, then wash the funnel/filter paper with more hot solvent

calculating percent composition

same as area of triangle A=height of peak * width at half height

what is something that makes recrystalliztion unique compared to the other four major purification techniques

sample most be solid

What is the issue with sample preparation

sample must be in the path of the beam, means it can't absorb nrg between 40000-400 ( all organic/most inorganic do) (esp ones containing oxygen)

in order to perform recrystallization, the material to be purified most be __________

solid

If the compound you are purifying is known, what type of information can you get from the handbook

solvent mp bp color of purified compound (assume white or colorless if unspecified) crystalline form (ex. flakes, needles, etc)

compound doesn't reappear after cooling

solvent crappy

what will a liquid at any temp have?

some molecules escaping into the gas phase

how does tlc work

spots are placed on plate (glass, plastic, or aluminum) containing adsorbent....plate is placed in solvent......solvent travels up plate....as solvent passes spot, the spot partially dissolves into it

one big blob forms in middle

spots spotted too close together

what does the rate of an E1 rxn depend on

stability of carbocation

How is I2 colorized

starch

potassium iodide

startch test

how will limonene be obtained

steam distillation of orange peel

false negative ferric chloride

sterically hindered phenols do not give a colored complex

reflux ratio

volume of liquid returned to the distilling flask/volume of liquid removed as distillate

How do you get an IR spectrum for a seemingly empty vial

swab the vial and rub the swab on the ATR crystal

how/what did distillation used to be used for

taking dilute alcohol solutions and distilling them to give alcohol solutions with high concentrations

boiling point

temp at which vapor pressure = atmospheric pressure (bubbles able to form and rise bc the vapor pressure can overcome the atmospheric pressure)

melting point

temp range from when you see first crystal melting (or crumbling/collapsing) to when last one melts

peak at exactly 925

terminal =CH2

peak at 3300

terminal alkyne

what are the two natural products in this lab

terpene and acetogenins

what will happen if the column is subjected to a temp higher than the operating temp

the coating will vaporize and be carried out or decomposed effectively destroying the effectiveness of the column

the vapor condenses from simple distillation should contain more of what component

the component with a lower boiling point

what is done after performing the hot vacuum filtration

the filtrate is reheated to dissolve any crystals, the solution is then allowed to slowly cool

why are flow controllers important

the flow rates of the two streams must be balanced or the thermal conductivity detector will not work

what happens to gas when the gc use a thermal conductivity detector

the gas is split into two streams....one stream directed by injection port....other stream directed through another column to the detector

what will happen if a polar packing material like carbowax is used

the polar components of the sample will interact with it much more, taking a longer time to pass through the column resulting in a greater retention time

vapor pressure

the pressure exerted by a vapor over a liquid

ideally all of the sample will be flash vaporized, unfortunately this doesn't happen. What happens

the sample that is not flash vaporized remains as an aerosol that will travel with the carrier gas, not interacting with the column packing. This aerosol is detected as an air peak and will have the exact same composition as the sample

chromatography

the separation of a mixture into its components by passing the fluid over a non-mobile adsorbent and separating the components by differential absorption and elution

what will happen if you let tlc sit in solvent for too long

the solvent will run up and off the plate

Bromin Test forms what compound

trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane

crystals don't form during recrystallization

try agitating the sample by shaking or rubbing the inside of tube with stirring rod; if all else fails try adding a little bit of impure sample

compound completely dissolves in solvent, solvent doesn't dissolve compound at all

try mixing these solvents

what is ATR penetration called

tunneling

what happens to iodide when it is oxidized

turns into I2 (little color)

how many times is vacuum filtration used in this lab

twice

how many hands should be used to handle a gc syringe

two

eutectic point

unique mixture of A and B that has a sharp melting point; also point where the mixture melts at the lowest temperature observed for any mixture of the two compounds

cause of azeotrope

unknown; no relationship

Baeyer test (potassium permanganate) tests for

unsaturation

how long will the azeotrope distill for

until one of the components is exhausted

often textbooks and google will give one number for the mp, what is this

upper limit of the range

calcium chloride

used to dry cyclohexene

why are two hands used to handle the gc syringe

using one hand my bend the wire

in gc the sample is

vapor

Raoults Law

vapor pressure always proportional to the mole fraction of each component

benefits of caffeine

vasodialator; cuts relief time in half

sport ran off the side of the plate

very wet sample or defective plate

advantage of tcd over other detectors

volatile components can be collected unchanged as they leave the detector. This allows a GC equipped with a TCD to be used for the purification of relatively small quantities of volatile material While this collection may be slow and tedious, it is one of the most rapid methods for the purification of small quantities (less than 1 mL) of volatile compounds.

simple distillation is used to separate a ____ liquid from another soluble ________ or ______ impurity

volatile; nonvolatile; less volatile

acidic bromothyol

yellow

can a combination of solvents be used to reach the ideal solvent?

yes

is it okay to use more than one technique in conjunction

yes!

what will happen if purification has taken place

your starting sample will weight less than your beginning sample
