Q

Will your Rf values change if you replace the TLC solvent with pure acetone instead of DCM?

A

Rf values will be larger, but the order would stay the same as if you were using DCM as a solvent

Q

Explain how Chromatography separates molecules

A

separates molecules based on how strongly they absorb to the solid phase or how quickly it absorbs in liquid (based on polarity and IMFs)

Q

Explain how you can correct the following Column Chromatography:
the substances you are trying to purify stop moving down the column

A

Increase the polarity of the solvent

21
Q

How do you choose a good solvent for crystallization?

A

High solubility at high temps and low solubility at low temps

22
Q

What happens if your solvent’s boiling point is higher than the melting point of the solid?

A

“oil out” - the solid melts before it dissolves

23
Q

What should you do if you get a precipitate during the crystallization cooling process?

A

Reheat and add more solvent, start again!

24
Q

Can you ever get 100% recovery from crystallization?
Why? (2 reasons)

A

No- there is always impurity present in the starting compound which will cause a loss of some mass as you remove the impurity.
Some of your compound will always remain dissolved in the solvent.

25
Q

When do you use the semi-microscale method for crystallization?

A

When the weight of the solid to be crystallized is more than 0.1 g

26
Q

When do you use the microscale method for crystallization?

A

When the weight of the solid to be crystallized is less than 0.1 g

27
Q

What is “mother liquor”?

A

the solution that remains after a crystallization

Q

How do you calculate weight (g)?

A

density (g/mL) x volume (mL)

48
Q

What does the retention time tell you from GC data?

A

How long the component satyed in the GC column

higher BP = higher retention time

49
