Lab Exam Final Flashcards
What are the correct steps for washing glassware
1- acetone
2- soap and water
3- acetone
How to dry glassware standard
on papertowel to air dry
How to dry glassware for moisture sensitive reactions
flame drying
first number pf taper glassware
diameter of top joint
second number of tapered glassware
inner length of the joint
weighing solids
weigh paper on scale, tare, add and remove solid till amount is reached
hot water baths
used for heating low boiling liquids
How to hold a pipette
vertically to prevent spilling and filling the bulb
How does 250 mg look on a gram scale
0.250 g
How do you weigh a liquid
Use the mass difference
How to prepare paper for gravity filtration
Flute it
What goes on filter flask for vacuum filtration
Büchner funnel and adapter
What is the purpose of vacuum filtration
To remove liquid mixture from final product/ solid
Where to dispose of organic solvents
organic liquid waste
Where to dispose of aqueous solvents go
aqueous liquid waste
where does paper go
contaminated paper wsate
where does glass go
yellow broken glass bin
where do tlc plates go
TLC waste bin
where do solids and boiling stones go
solid waste bin
where does clean acetone rinse go
acetone recovery
where does silica go
silica waste bin
what goes on filter flask for reduced pressure evaporation
cork or Buchner funnel filter paper and adaptor
what is the purpose of reduced pressure evaporation
remove liquid from solid, remove the solvent from sample or concentrate it
miscible
describes two liquids that are soluble in each other
density of water
1 g/mL
what two solvents are denser than water
DCM and chloroform
what is the purpose of a variac
the heating mantel can not be connected directly to the outlet or else it will become too hot and will easily vaporize contents of flask,variac which runs full power put cycles on and off prevents from happening
how to adjust setup if liquid is boiling too much or bumping
lower the lab jack & mantle, and can turn down variac
purpose of stir bars
stirring and preventing bumping
reflux set up
lack jack, mantle, stir bar, variac, RBF, condenser, tubing, hose clamps
for refill which tube does water enter from
the bottom tube
recrystallization steps
- Dissolve the solid in a minimal amount of hot solvent.
- Allow the solution to cool to room temperature.
- Cool further in an ice bath.
- Filter the mixture through a Buchner funnel to collect the solid.
- Weigh the solid to get a mass of compound recovered
- Measure the melting point
two solvent recrystallization
finding two pair of miscible solvents
- Choose solvent A that is very soluble to the compound. Choose solvent B that is does not dissolve the compound at all.
- Add hot solvent A to test tube containing compound. Heat, shake, dissolve the compound.
- Add hot solvent B. Reheat
- Cool solution
- Remove solvent via Buchner funnel to obtain crystals
TLC
thin layer chromatography
how to adjust eluent system if Rf is too low ** spots too close to baseline????
increase the polarity of eluent
what stains do we use for TLC
potassium permanganate, PMA
Aqueous or organic layer on top layer for separator funnel
Density is checked, typically organic is on the top
What is sodium sulphate used as
a drying agent
Seperation methods
Reduced pressure evaporation, vacuum filtration, gravity filtration
how do impurities effect melting point
if more than 10 degree difference then the product is impure
Info from NMR spectrum to identify
number of signals, chemical shift, integration, multiplicity
NMR downfield
left, desheilded
TMS peak on NMR
0
Solvent NMR peak
7.2 ppm
Integration NMR
area under the curve, proportional to the number of protons contained under the peak
NMR coupling
double peak on one signal, when nearby protons have a magnetic field that affect effective magnetic field. Number of peaks depends on the number of protons that are nearby and unique combinations of their spins
Spin-spin splitting is another name
n + 1 rule predicts number of peaks. N is the number of neighbors. Neighbors don’t include chemically equivalent H’s)
spin coupling
elimination of spin- spin splitting by constantly irradiating one type of nuclei at its resonance frequency
coupling constant
distance between the peaks of a multiplet
diasteromers
stereoisomers that are not mirror images
