Organic Chemistry 1 Lab Final Notes

extraction

based on polarity, solubility, and miscibility

polarity

net dipole from polar bonds

solubility

like dissolves like (polar with polar)

intermolecular forces

more polar --> London > dipole-dipole > H bond > ion-dipole

miscibility

extent to which layers form based on solubility and density

immiscible

form layers (oil and water)

3 types of extraction

solid/liquid, liquid/liquid, chemically active

solid/liquid extraction

extracts soluble compounds from the solid (making coffee)

liquid/liquid extraction

compounds are separated between two immiscible solvents with opposing polarity; based on Kd

partition distribution coefficient

kd = [A]org/[A]aq; Kd>1 then in organic layer; Kd<1 then in aq layer

top layer

less dense always; usually organic

halogenated organic solvents

exception to which layer is on the top; more dense compared to water so will be on the bottom

chemically active

adding acid/base to change polarity of a compound

acid

loses a hydrogen atom

recrystallization

purifies non-volatile solids based on solubility and crystal lattice theory (thermodynamics)

solubility

how something dissolves; 3 stages of a solid (collision, dissociation, and solvation); increases with temperature

collision

undissolved solid

dissociation

more kinetic energy in the solid; more soluble

solvation

dissolved solid

crystal lattice theory

thermodynamics; G=H-TS

recrystallization process

impure solid + boiling hot solvent --> solution saturated with desired solid and unsaturated with impurities --> after cooled, pure solid recrystallizes

solvent used for recrystallization

insoluble at a low temp and soluble at a high temp

nucleation

seeding, glass seeding, and cool on ice

physical properties

can be observed/measured without changing substances identity

intrinsic/intensive properties

constant regardless of quantity; MP, BP, solubility, density

extrinsic/extensive properties

depends on the quantity; mass, volume, entropy

physical change

doesn't disturb covalent bonds or composition (usually referring to phase change)

melting point range

temperatures at which solid and liquid are in equilibrium, which isn't the amount, but the rate of exchange

1-2

pure melting point range within

lower

impure samples will melt at higher or lower temperatures

mixed melting point technique

when the melting point range matches more than one compound

boiling point

temperature at which vapor P of 1atm; vapor P of liquid = atmospheric pressure

<

if P<1atm then BP ___ literature BP

Raoult's Law

nonvolatile impurity increase experimental BP; VPa(impure) = VPa(pure)*X(mole fraction of A); if Xa<1, VPa<Vpa(pure) because Xa is not 100% so impure and increase T

distillation

can determine BP (identity/purity) and purify a volatile liquid

simple distillation

can separate volatile liquid from nonvolatile impurity, usually solid; separate two liquids with large difference in BP

simple distillation

can't separate two liquids with a BP within 50 degrees of one another

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure

at constant volume and temperature, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases

fractional distillation

uses columns that allow for multiple simple distillations in 1 experiment

less

the smaller the difference in BP, the ____ theoretical plates needed

height equivalent of theoretical plate

smaller height is better because takes less time to distill

reflux ratio

R ~ drops return to flask (into boiling flask)/drops collected (after condensed); large R is better because want slow distillation to get effective separation become some is coming back; should equal the number of TP

azeotropes

2 liquids in a specific mole fraction ratio act as a pure liquid; impossible to separate; composition of the vapor phase = composition of the liquid phase

chromatography

method used to separate components of a mixture based upon physical properties

types of chromatography

gas, column, thin layer, and high performance liquid

mixture partition

Kp(x) = [x]stationary/[x]mobile; Kp>1 then retained in the stationary phase longer; stationary is more polar

gas chromatography

analyzes heat stable volatile compounds by: checkin the sample purity, identifying components of a mixture, and purifying a substance (on a small scale)

mobile gas

inert (He, Ar)

injection port

vaporizes sample in gas phase in GS

thermal conductivity detector

keeps sample intact in GS

attentuator

weakens signal from detector to make readable in GS

Vernier hardware

generate readable chromatogram

coiled column

where the separation happens in GS; long metal tube containing silicone

larger surface area

elutes slower from column (more column interaction)

smaller surface area

elutes faster (fewer interactions); more in mobile phase

silica gel and alumina

two types of stationary solids (polar)

silica gel

SiO2; slightly acidic

alumina

Al2O3; slightly basic

eluatropic series

polar --> alkanes (pet ether, ligroin, hexanes) > acetone > methanol > acetic acid; compounds elute nonpolar to polar

ligroin

C7-C11; hydrocarbons saturated

mobile liquids

eluents that differ in their polarity; used in GS

column chromatography

separates based upon polarity; adsorption (stationary)/desorption (mobile)

thin layer chromatography

used to monitor the process of the reaction, test for impurity, see what is in the solvent

tension surface force and adhesive force

capillary action is based on

retention factor

A/B; less polar solvent (further from bottom) = larger Rf; range from 0-1

IR

determines the presence/absence of functional groups

mass and bond order

frequency absorved by bond depends on

mass

heavier then slower (smaller frequency absorbed)

bond order

stronger bonds are faster C=C>C-C

synthesis

overall transformation from one functional group to another
