Electronegative substituents (halogens, oxygen), aromatic ring

_______________ move chemical shift downfield (higher ppm); _______ ______ also moves chemical shifts downfield

vapor

_____is condensed and collected to give a liquid with higher composition of the lower boiling compound

emulsion

a dispersion of very fine droplets of one immiscible liquid within another. These usually occur with alkaline solutions and with chloroform, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride.

superheating

a metastable condition when a small localized section of the liquid rises to a temperature somewhat above the boiling point, turns to gas, causing a rapidly expanding bubble to occur in the liquid. This bubble then "explodes" out of the solution causing liquid to fly up into the condenser. Such bumping can lead to contamination of the distillate.

a way to determine the boiling point

1. The following table shows the density of a number of solvents that are immiscible with water. All are used as extraction solvents with water. Why might it not be a good idea to extract a toluene solution with methylene chloride even though both solvents are used separately with water and they have significantly different densities?

a. Methylene chloride and toluene are miscible, meaning that when mixed they will not form two separate layers. In order to do an extraction, the two liquids must be immiscible in order to form two layers on contact. 32

2. What is the purpose of washing an ether solution with brine (saturated aqueous NaCl) during an extraction with an aqueous solution?

a. The purpose of washing an ether solution with a saturated aqueous NaCl solution was to remove the water from the organic layer. The NaCl solution pulls water from the organic layer into the NaCl solution because the salt concentration is higher in the solution than in the organic layer. Water travels into the NaCl solution from the organic solution because water travels from areas of low salt concentration to high salt concentration in order to dilute the solution.

boiling points on a graph

Pure substances will exhibit a constant boiling point. Mixtures will exhibit changes in the boiling point. An idealized curve (at the right) would show a vertical rise with an infinite slope. Actual distillations (shown below) exhibit lower slopes.

extraction

Rarely yields a pure product. Distillation, recrystallization, or chromatography of the crude product is usually necessary.

Micro scale boiling point determination

This method is more accurate than distillation or mini scale (+/- 0.2oC) and requires a small amount of sample (approx. 0.2mL). The procedure consists of determining the temperature at which the external pressure on the boiling liquid is large enough to overcome the vapor pressure in a capillary tube inserted closed side up in the liquid. When this happens, the vapor will condense and liquid will rise into the capillary. Usually a melting point apparatus is used to heat the sample.

Theory of Fractional Distillation

1. As the hot vapors leave the distilling flask, they condense on the first cold surface, completing one vaporization-condensation cycle. 2. This surface begins to heat from the condensed vapors which are now 55:45 toluene-benzene. This benzene enriched liquid now has a boiling point of ~94 °C (lower than the incoming vapors) and it begins to boil off this higher surface 3. These vapors are even further enriched in benzene (now 35:65, toluene:benzene) and condense on the next cold surface 4. This condensed liquid has an even lower boiling point (86 °C) and as this surface heats it begins to boil off this next higher surface 5. This vapor now condenses on the next cold surface (now 18:82, toluene:benzene) and the cycle continues 6. This cycle will continue until the top of the column is reached. The liquid collected after seven cycles is now 99% benzene!

a. The thermometer has mercury in it and the capillary tube is made of glass. The thermometer will heat up faster than the capillary tube because the specific heat capacity of glass is more than mercury. The specific heat capacity of glass is .84 J/gm K and the specific heat capacity of mercury is .140 J/gm K. b. The observed melting point would be less than the actual melting point since the thermometer heats up quicker than the glass.

A. If the Mel-Temp apparatus is heated too quickly errors occur due to a difference in the actual temperature of the sample and the temperature read on the thermometer. a. Which do you think changes temperature more quickly as the Mel-Temp apparatus, the capillary tube with the sample or the thermometer? In other words, which has the larger heat capacity? b. Based on your answer to part a, would the actual melting point be above or below the observed temperature of the thermometer?

salt

Adding _____ makes aqueous layer more polar and often increases KD by moving

a. The two samples A and B can be mixed together in equal amounts, and that sample could be placed in a capillary tube or on a glass cover slip to be analyzed in the Mel-Temp apparatus or the Fischer-Johns apparatus to determine the melting point range. If the melting point range is higher than what is known or lower than what is known, that indicates that there is an impurity in the mixture, either A or B, and therefore A and B are not the same substance. If the melting point range matches what is known, that indicates that A and B are identical, and that they represent the same chemical compound.

C. You have two samples, called A and B, which have the same melting point. How can you determine if they are the same by using melting point measurements? Explain in detail. (Adapted from Pavia et al. Organic Laboratory Techniques, page 637, question 1)

lower boiling

a. At 154°C, the air that was in the bell started expanding and leaves the tube, which is why the bubbles are present. When the heating was stopped, the pressure in the bell was larger than the pressure in the atmosphere, so the liquid rises into the tube. Heating began again, so the pressures went back to equilibrium, so the liquid left the tube. At 165°C, the air that remained trapped in the tube started expanding again and left the tube which generates the bubbles. After cooling until 161°C, the liquid entered the bell again. This happens because upon cooling, the liquid vapor pressure decreased below atmospheric pressure, which compelled the liquid to enter the tube. The temperature at which the liquid enters the tube represents the boiling point of the liquid. The boiling point of the liquid in this problem is 161°C.

D. Question number 5 on page 703 in Pavia et al. Organic Laboratory Techniques, 4th Ed. During the microscale boiling point determination (see page 697-699 of Pavia et al.) of an unknown liquid, heating was discontinued at 154°C and the liquid immediately began to enter the inverted bell. Heating was begun again at once, and the liquid was forced out of the bell. Heating was discontinued at 165°C, and at this temperature a steady stream of bubbles from the bulb is observed. On cooling, the rate of bubbling gradually diminished until the liquid reached a temperature of 161°C when liquid entered and filled the bell. Explain the sequence of events (what is happening at 154 °C, 165 °C and 161 °C?). What was the boiling point of the liquid? Hint, look at the explanation and difficulties associated with the microscale boiling point method on pages 698-99.
