The experiment states that a distillation should never be continued until distilling flask is dry. Does that mean 'no water present' as when using a drying agent on an organic solution? Explain.

-it means that there would be nothing in the flask at all whether that be water or something else

for recrystallization: what are the requirements of the solvent? (3 rqrmnts)

-it should NOT chemically react with the compound -it should dissolve the compound white HOT [never cold for dissolving] - it should either dissolve the impurities at ALL temperatures or NOT at all

what is the first step in using a sep funnel for extraction?

-make sure the funnel stopcock is closed -then carefully pour the liquid to be extracted into the funnel

what are 3 reasons hypochlorous acid is used more often as an oxidizing agent, rather than dichromate?

-safer -less expensive -environmentally friendly

what influences solubility in water for organic molecule?

-the amount of hydrogen bonding occuring, which counteracts the organic hydrocarbon affinity of the rest of the carbon

Why can AZEOTROPES NOT be separated by simple distilation?

-the vapor has the sae poroprtions as the unboiled mixture. -as a result, an unkown liquid that boils at a constant temperature is NOT necessarily pure and can potentially be classified as an azeotrope

what experimental observation on the initial dissolution of compound with hot solvent would let you know that hot filtration was not needed?

-there would be no visible solid impurities after you have added the solvent -[others]

when using a sep funnel: what should students do with the first layer and acid washes?

-they should wait until they are absolutely certain that they have all the layers needed before throwing ANYTHING away -they should NEVER throw a layer away

when would a hot water vacuum NOT be necessary or useful in a purification by recrystallization?

-when the impurities dissolve into the solution at high temperatures also or -when NOTHING dissolves [you would be removing impurities and the cmpd you want to recrystallize] or -when the needed compound already dissolves at room temperature; no need to heat it up to remove impurities

The contamination of a pure organic with an impurity affect the observed melting point only if the impurity dissolves to some extent in the liquid phase of the organic compound. Therefore, small granules of sand or broken glass [sand and glass have similar compositions, melt only at very high temps, and are totally insoluble] will not reduce the melting point of a pure organic compound with witch they will be mixed. In a sample containing small grains of sand, what would you observe in the mel-temp apparatus when you melt the sample that would indicate that the melted sample contained this type of impurity?

if a sample of small granules of sand mixed with a pure organic compound, then only the organic compound would melt, leaving the sand/glass in a liquified organic compound

Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chain (18+ carbons) carboxylix acids. They dissolve grease by forming micelles that are water soluble because the anionic carboxylic acid groups are on the outside solvated by water while the inside micelle contains long hydrocarbon chains. Oils and greases are dissolved into the oily middle of the micelle and are washed away. If you wanted to design a quaternary ammonium salt that would make for a great soap [with a positive charged, water soluble nitrogen group], what type of R groups would you want to attach to the nitrogen?

3 of the R groups on the N should be replaced with long-chain carbon groups (18+ cabrons). this would provide a nonpolar area on the molecule. the 4th r group should a carboxylic acid group. this would give this side of the molecule a polar region

Azeotrope Definition

A liquid mixture of two or more substances that has its own constant boiling point, different from the boiling points of its constituents. The vapor of this unique mixture has the same composition as the liquid state, making it difficult to separate the constituents..

(Eugenol, the essential oil found in cloves, can be isolated by steam distillation bc it is insoluble in water and has a much higher boiling point: eugenol bp: 254 C VP at 100 C: 4 mmHg MM: 164 g/mol Water BP: 100 C VP at 100 C: 760 mmHg MM: 18 g/mol ) Use this infor to calculate the mole fraction, Xorg, of eugenol in the distillate...

A mixture boils when total vapor pressure equals atomospheric: P total = Porg + P water = 760 mmHg Xorg = VPorg / (VP of organic + water) X org = 4 / (760) = 0.0053

Infrared spectra are recorded using an ATR detector. What does ATR stand for?

Attenuated total reflectance

How can you determine the boiling point of a mixture?

Because mixtures of immmiscible liquids do not obey Raoult's law, the bp of the mix depends only on the vapor pressure if the components and no on their mole fraction. the clausius-clapeyron equation can be used to calculate the temp at which water boils unders a partial vacuum of 4 mmHg equation: ln[P2/P1] = [(delta H of H2O vapor)/R] * [(1/T1)-(1/T2)] Solving for T2 will give the NEW boiling point

why is the reaction of alkenes with HCl NOT useful as a characterization reaction, but Br2 is a good reaction?

Br2 will yield a visable color change

How is gas chromatography [GC] able to separate two liquids with the exact SAME boiling point, but fractional distillation cannot?

GC: the use of a polar GC column will separate the liquids based in differences in polar interactions and volatility

For very accurate determination of melting points, scientists use thermometers that have been calibrated by measuring the melting points of known standards. You did not calibrate your thermocouple. What data obtained during this experiment allows you to be confident that the thermometer system you were using was not giving readings that were inaccurate by 10 degrees or more? (What material with a known mp did you determine a mp?)

During this experiment, the melting points of the standards were used to make sure the system was giving accurate readings, because students could look at the chart of the known melting points and compare that their own findings of standard melting points ***Standards usually mixed with unknown, which brings uncertainty better example was the benzoic acid and sand [bc sand doesn't affect mp]

The gauche conformation of butane occurs when the dihedral angle between at the C1-C2 and C3-C4 is 60 degrees. There is sterric strain in the molecule due the proximity of the two methyl groups. When you consider... E(strain) = E(strain) + E(angle) + E(torsion) + E(sterric) Would E(torsion) increase OR decrease when the dihedral angle of gauche butane was increased from 60 to 65 degrees?

E(torsion) increases [torsional strain]

[clove oil is produced by steam distillation of cloves. the basic extraction of clove oil to obtain eugenol leaves behind other organic products.] The following statement describes possible compounds that might have be steam distilled with eugenol in the preparation clove oil, but then would remain in the organic phase when extracted with base. Identify the statement as true or false and explain answer: "they might contain large numbers of -OH functional groups"

FALSE These would be polar and not be in the organic layer

(An over-the-counter headache pill was crushed, extracted into ethanol/dichloromethane, and then analyzed by TLC on silica using ethyl acetate as an eluent. the pill was shown to contain: acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen.) Rank the Rf values of acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen:

Highest to lowest: ibuprofen, aspirin, and acetaminophen the less polar = the less it sticks to the silica = the more it moves = the higher the Rf value

What type of samples is IR not the best at detecting?

IR is not the best for detecting samples with complex MIXTURES. The spectrum would be overly complicated with the bond frequencies of all the different. complex molecules in the MIXture.

in a solution of water and ethyl acetate: top layer? bottom layer?

top layer - ethyl acetate bottom layer - water

the boiling point of an AZEOTROPE is [ lower OR higher ] than either of the pure substances it is composed of?

LOWER

what are the 4 major methods of purification in chem lab? which is definitely NOT one?

Major 4: distillation, extraction, recrystallization, and chromatography [NOT subtraction]

What causes a carbotcation to be more stable?

More substitution: Alkyl groups are better able to donate electron density than are hydrogen atoms. Thus, the positive charge is stabilized better by alkyl groups, so a great number of CH3 goups provides more stability for the positively charged species. Th tertiary carbocation is the most stable species. followed by the secondary and then primary carbocations. The methyl cation is the least stable [CH3+]

An over-the-counter headache pill was crushed, extracted into ethanol/dichloromethane, and then analyzed by TLC on silica using ethyl acetate as an eluent. the pill was shown to contain: acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen. Between acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen, which molecule is the most polar? Least Polar?

Most = Acetaminophen the hydroxyl group and amide group in acetaminophen as well as the carboxyl group in aspirin and ibuprofen are he only groups in these compounds that are capable of both making recieving bonds. Acetaminophen is the MOST polar bc it has two of the hydrogen bonding groups. least = ibuprofen other oxygen groups, such as ketones and esters, contribute to polarity to a lesser extent. Aspirin is the more polar than ibuprofen bc it has other oxygen groups in addition to the carboxyl group. Therefore, ibuprofen must be the LEAST polar molecule since it includes only one polar carboxyl group and the rest of the molecule is made up of nonpolar hydrocarbons

Benzoic acid and Benzocaine dissolve really well in ethanol. Is ethanol a suitable solvent for the solvent extraction of benzoic acid and benzocaine from aqueous solution?

NO ethanol is miscible with water [you would not be able to see the separate layers]

.Explain the direction in which the reaction time would change for a substance in a GC experiment when the exp parameters are changes as shown below: detector temp increased by 10 C

NO change of retention time: the temp would just increase by 10 C

NOO

What is the risk for each of these NaOH? lachrymators like allyl bromide? dichloromethane?

NaOH can cause severe damge to skin and eyes [gloves and goggles are required] allyl bromide is irritant to the eyes and is bad for the environment [does NOT go in aqueous waste] dichloromethane is a carcinogen

TRUE nonpolar???????

Both Br2 and HCL undergo electrophilic addition to alkenes. Why is Br2 used as a test for unsaturation instead of HCL?

The reaction with bromine can be follwoed bc of a visible loss of color

What property of the substrate in SN1 reactions make it go faster? List the following with their speed in an SN1 reaction: 3-iodo-2-methylhexane 2-iodo-2-methylhexane iodomethane 1-iodo-2-methylhexane

The slow step of an SN1 rxn is the breakage of teh carbon-halogen bond and formation of a carbocation. The more stable the carbocation, the faster the reaction. Therefore, the fastest SN1 substitution occurs in tertiary alkyl halides, and the slowest are with primary, methyl halides. 2-iodo-2-methylhexane > 3-iodo-2-methylhexane > 1-iodo-2-methylhexane > iodomethane

what is the purpose of a hot filtration when performing a recrystallization?

This filters out only the solid impurities. the acetanilide stays dissolved in the solution, since it is able to dissove at relatively high temperatures [while the impurities cannot]

when is it is possible to use GC two separate two liquids that have identical boiling points and which show no separation by distillation [even fractional distillation]?

This is possible when the compounds have different functional groups, that give them different polarities. These cmpds cannot be separated if they have the same FGs and BPs

in a solution of water and dichloromethane: top layer? bottom layer?

top layer - water bottom layer - dichloromethane

Are Rf values dependent on polarity? explain

YES... Polar compounds will have LOWER Rf values NON polar compounds will have HIGHER Rf values

add BASE to the aqueous acidic layer mix

A student is comparing two samples of crystalline organic solids. A thin-layer chromatography analysis shows a single spot for each sample and the co-spot with the same Rf value. What method would provide the most conclusive evidence that the two samples are the same compound? [list 3 that would NOT work]

YES: Perform a mixture melting point... this will identify if the 2 samples have the same identity or not. The introduction of an impurity results in depression of the melting point DO NOT: running TLC on avlonger plate or with more development solvent is not effective since Rf values are independent of length or volume of solvent. mixing substance to run the TLC as a single spot will only give the same results as before.

for recrystallization: what is the formula for calc percent yield?

[(mass after recrystal-)/(initial mass)] * 100

how do calculate Rf values?

[distance traveled from the origin by the spot] / [dist. traveled by the solvent]

How can the boiling point difference affect the number of theoretical plates needed? [and how does it affect the overall separation?]

a LARGER bp difference allows for easier separation and fewer theoretical plates needed :-)

a positive test resulted in the the dark orange color of bromine disappearing

During a melting point determination, is it normal to first take a rapid rough measurement followed by a slower more accurate measurement. Why is it important to allow the Mel-temp to cool 15 C below the mp before placing the 2nd capillary tube in, and to set the voltage to generate 1-2 C/min through the mp range?

a rapid temperature increase would give a melting point range that is much higher than the true value

for recrystallization: the material to be purified must be a (...)

a solid

how did you deduce which spot corresponded to 2-naphthol on your tlc plate that analyzed the reaction mixture at 10,30, and 60 min? did you tlc analysis indicate the presenc eof 2-naphthol at the end of the 60 min rxn time?

a. the 2-naphthol was the compound with the lower Rf value [bc its polar], and its intensity decreased over the course of the 60 min period b. the TLC did not detect the presence on 2-naphthol on the 60 min tlc plate

The simple distillation set up used in this experiment has about one theoretical plate. see the table in the link to estimate the minimum boiling point difference btwn 2 cmpds that would allow effective separation by simple distillation: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bAsPMiQhuAOx2cjeelus4XiVyUOU-Inn

about 40-45 C the larger the temp difference btwn 2 cmpds with 1 theoretical plate, the larger the amount of difference in temperature needed to have 98% efficiency

add ACID to the 3-component mix

The williamson ether synthesis between 2-naphthol and allyl bromide in the presence of strong based and benzyktriphenylammoniumchloride as a phase transpher catalyst in DCM solution is known to proceed in reasonable yield. why will the reaction fail to work if the solvent is switched to ethanol while retaining the same reactants, phase transfer catalyst and base?

bc the base would deprotonate ethanol and create a 2nd nucleophile note: 2-naphthol is converted to alkoxide nucleophile by base. if the solvent is also an alcohol, a 2nd nucleophile would be introduced into the rxn

The williamson ether synthesis between 2-naphthol and allyl bromide in the presence of strong based and benzyktriphenylammoniumchloride as a phase transpher catalyst in DCM solution is known to proceed in reasonable yield. the need for a phase transfer catalyst would be removed if a polar Aprotic solvent [such as DMSO] were used as a rxn solvent. why is DMSO not used as a solvent for this rxn?

bc the risks associated with toxicity

Use the melting point phase diagram: If you compare the melting point of a slightly impure mixture with the melting point of a eutectic mixture, the melting point of the slightly impure mixture will be: Explain why.

broader and higher than the eutectic mixture when a eutectic mixture is melted, it would melt at the lowest temp observed for the mix of the two compounds. Eutectic mixtures also produce sarp melting points, so the slightly impure mixture melting point would be broader and higher

how is recrystallization able to remove impurities for an impure compound?

by exploiting differences in solubility between hot and cold solutions. $ - The impure compound is dissolved in a WARMER solute and then COOLED slowly to form crystals with higher purity

Why do SN1 reactions prefer polar protic solvents?

carbocation intermediates are stabilized by protic solvents like water

hexanes < diethyl ether < water < dichloromethane < chloroform

explain how pure samples of each compound can be obtained by prep GC from a mix of 2 cmpds even if complete resolution of the peaks is not obtained.

in order to keep the samples pure when the peaks overlap, we would have to only collect samples when the peaks are separated. therefore, using only the start of the first peak and the end of the second even though some of the mix is lost, the samples extracted are more likely to be pure

.Explain the direction in which the reaction time would change for a substance in a GC experiment when the exp parameters are changes as shown below:' concentration of stationary phase liquid increase?

it is an effective method for identifyin th presence of alkenes and alkynes. For this test, a solution containing 3 drops of a compound is treated with a dilute solution of bromine when the bromine undergoes an addition reaction with the double bond in an alkene or the triple bond in an alkyne, the reddish color of the bromine disappears, showing a positive test result

Why is it good to perform a mixed melting point determination at two different ratios of unknown to know material in the melting point capillary?

it is possible that one of the particular combinations of these two compounds can generate a eutectic mixture

it should not pass the highest part of the widest portion of the sep funnel

If a SOLVENT is made LESS polar, how will this affect the Rf values?

it will DECREASE the Rf values

(Eugenol, the essential oil found in cloves, can be isolated by steam distillation bc it is insoluble in water and has a much higher boiling point: eugenol bp: 254 C AND VP at 100 C: 4 mmHg Water BP: 100 C AND VP at 100 C: 760 mmHg Based on this info, at what temp will the mixture of eugenol and water boil?

less than 100 C liquid boil when their vapor pressure equals that of the atmospheric pressure [760 mmHg]. At 100 C, eugenol contributes 4 mmhg of vapor pressure to the total pressure of the mixture. This is an analogous to boiling water at a reduced pressure [756 mmHg]. This will induce a small depression in the boiling point, and the mix will boil at slightly less than 100 C [and significantly less than the bp of eugenol]. steam distillation is therefore useful for distilling high-boiling liquids that are immiscible in water. it is especially useful for distilling liquids that decompose near their BPs.

list 3 main ways to access the purity and identity of a substance

melting point determination, solubility tests, and thin-layer chromatography

how does equilibrium change affect the analyzed compound between gas phase and immobile liquid phase?

more time spent in immobile phase equal longer retention time

neutralize the spill with sodium bicarbonate

never point the sep funnel at anyone

.Explain the direction in which the reaction time would change for a substance in a GC experiment when the exp parameters are changes as shown below: amount of sample decreased by 20% from a sample that gives a good retention time?

no change: the amount of sample injected doesn't affect the retention time

does density directly correlate with molar mass?

no, density does NOT always increase as molar mass increases

is density directly related to molecular weight of a substance?

no, even though water (18 g/mol) has a smaller molar mass, it takes the more volume per gram compared to cyclohexane (84 g/mol). This likely due to other physical properties if the compound

for oxidation od cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone, what is the procedure to.... control the rate of the reaction?

place the reaction flask in an ice bath

Even if two compounds have identical solubility profiles in a solvent, it is possible to effect some purification by a single recrystallization. Assume you have a 10 g mixture of A and B in a 9:1 ration of A to B and that both have a solubility at room temperature of 0.1 g/mL. If you used 10 mL of solvent for recrystallization, how much B would be expected to be in the crystalline material if material was cooled to room temperature before filtration? (This calculation assumes an ideal recrystallization that probably wouldn't be totally true in a real experiment.) This allows you to determine the amounts of A and of B in the recrystallized solid. What is the ratio of A:B in the crystalized material (grams of A: grams of B)?

the ratio of A:B would be 8:0 because all of the B was able to dissolve (1 g/mL of the 1 g B added) in the solution at room temperature and would not have any left over to crystallize

what is density?

the ratio of a substance's mass to its volume, measured in grams per millimeter and ALSO equivalent to grams per cubic meter

what error is introduced if the bulb of the thermometer [thermocouple] is tooo high in the distillation apparatus?

the recorded boiling point will be lower than the actual BECAUSE the bulb is not exposed to the hot vapor

the rxn was storred at a MODERATE, not rapid, pace

The gauche conformation of butane occurs when the dihedral angle between at the C1-C2 and C3-C4 is 60 degrees. There is sterric strain in the molecule due the proximity of the two methyl groups. Would the sterric strain in this molecule increase OR decrease C1-C2-C3 [and C2-C3-24] bond angle was increased to more than 109.5 degrees?

the sterric strain would decrease because the groups are moving farther apart

1-Phenyl-1-chloroethane is a secondary halide. Most secondary halides undergo Sn1 reaction quite slowly. Explain why 1-Phenyl-1-chloroethane undergoes Sn1 nsolvolysis quite readily. (Consider the mechanism shown above)

the structure we used has a benzene ring [w/ double bonds] allowing it to shift the positive charge around, giving it resonance stability. this stability makes it more willing to release the chloride originally, causing the rate to increase note: -because the carbocation is attatched to an arene so the resonance of the ring stabilizes the carbocation which results sn1 reaction

The Williamson ether synthesis between 2‑naphthol (MW 144.2 g/mol) and allyl bromide occurs in dichloromethane solution in the presence of the phase transfer catalyst, PhCH2(Bu)3NCl, and NaOH and produces allyl 2‑naphthyl ether (184.23 g/mol). A reaction was performed in which 0.43 g of 2‑naphthol was reacted with a slight excess of allyl bromide to make 0.48 g of allyl 2‑naphthyl ether. Calculate the theoretical yield [grams] and percent yield for this reaction. Allyl bromide has a density of 1.40 g/mL.

theoretical: 0.55 g percent yield: 87.3% First find the initial number of moles in 0.43 g of the limiting reactant, 2‑naphthol and calculate the moles of allyl naphthyl ether formed based on the 1:1 mole ratio. (0.43 g)(1 mol / 144.2 g) = 0.0030 mol 0.0030 mol 2‑naphthol = 0.0030 mol allyl naphthyl ether

the methylene chloride solution at the end of the reaction period may have a variety of materials in it (unreacted allyl bromide or naphathol, phase transfer catalyst, and allyl 2-naphthyl ether). what is expected to happen to the nahthol and phase transfer catalyst when the solution is passed through the silica gel mini-column?

these two compounds are polar and would "stick" to the SiOH polar molecules in the mini-column. This is so that only the non-polar products are likely to pass through (allyl-2-napthol and DCM).

describe how hypochlorite and glacial acetic acid react?

they react to make hypochlorous acid, which then oxidizes cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone. Aat the end of the reaction, any excess hypochlorous acid is neutralized

when using a sep funnel: how should a student close the sep funnel for shaking?

they should be sure to use a STOPPER to close/seal the sep funnel before shaking [do NOT use a thumb/finger to seal it]

why is extraction a good way to separate and purify a compound from a mix of organic material and inorganic salts?

this process bases its separation on the compounds being immiscible. The organic compounds dissolve in dichloromethane, while the inorganic salts dissolve in water. Therefore, as the water and DCM separate, so do the organic and inorganic cmpds.

went the sep funnel via the stopcock

why is the reaction of cyclohexene with HBr [rapid, simple] not useful as a characterization reaction?

when HBr reacts with cyclohexene, the reaction is colorless further reactions would have to take placec to confirm the presence of cyclohexene
