Final CHM 254 Flashcards
lab 6
Procedure for Steam Distillation
- Add cinnamon sticks + water to round bottom flask
- set up distillation apparatus and boil mixture until a clear distillate is formed
- perform extraction with ethyl acetate
- rotovap
lab 6
simple distillation
used to separate a solid, liquid mixture or a liquid mixture with two liquids that have very different boiling points
lab 6
fractional distillation
separates liquid mixtures with similar boiling points by providing a greater surface area for condensation
results in best kind of separation
lab 6
Steam Distillation
used to separate two immiscible liquids where one has a very high boiling point and one is more volatile
lab 6
(sum of vapor pressures) Pt =
Pa + Pb
vapor pressures of the two liquids
lab 6
if you use the equation to find the amount of each compound in the distillate and you get .292 what does that mean?
for every .292 g of a there is 1 g of b
lab 6
(amnt of each compound in the distillate) ma/mb=
Pa * MMa/Pb *MMb
MM= molar mass from periodic table
lab 6
Why does your distillate start cloudy and turn clear over time?
Bc/ it is a mixture of water + cinnamaldehyde, which is why we perform an extraction after
lab 6
If you were performing a fractional distilliation would you need to perform an extraction after?
likely not, fractional distilliation has good separation
lab 6
Will a branched molecule have a lower or higher bp?
lower, the branching decreases the surface area which allows for bonds to be broken faster
lab 6
Describe a liquid phase diagram
the top curve is a vapor curve
the bottom curve is a liquid curve
x-axis: % of A or B
y-axis: temperature
lab 6
A vapor in eq. with a liquid will always be richer in the — — comound
more volatile
lab 6
Describe the differences in a simple distillation curve vs a fractional distillation curve
a simple distillation curve will have a less steep incline because the resulting distillate is impure, unlike a fractional distillation which will yield a more pure compound
x-axis: volume distillate y-axis: temperature
HNMR
How do you calculate a J value?
by measuring the distance between two peaks
HNMR
what can a J value tell you?
equivalent J values will signal that two protons are near each other on the molecule, coupled protons should have the same J values
HNMR
what does the multiplicty rely on?
the number of neighboring hydrogens
HNMR
the area under the peak/ integration is directly proportional to —–
the number of hydrogens contributing to the signal
HNMR
why dont chemically equivalent protons produce multiple peaks?
the roofing effect
HNMR
what is the z atom test?
replace an atom, C or H, with Z and compare. Are the molecules the same? Are they different? if so how?
homotopic, enantiotopic, diastopic, hetereotopic
HNMR
what does it mean if a molecule is determined to be enantiotopic by the Z atom test?
the atoms are chemically equivalent and enantiomers of each other
does the z atom test create a chiral center?
HNMR
what does it mean if an atom is heterotopic by the z atom test?
they are not chemically equivalent and are constitutional isomers
