MCAT O Chem Flashcards
1
Q
vacuum distillation
A
ideal for boiling points for 150 degrees celsius bc it lowers air pressure which in turn lowers boiling point
2
Q
boiling chips
A
prevent superheating by providing nucleation sites for bubbles to form
3
Q
simple distillation
A
boiling points under 150 and atleast 25 degrees celsius apart
4
Q
effects of branching on boiling point
A
branching decreases surface area which decreases boiling point
5
Q
enamine vs imine formation
A
enamine: secondary amine + aldehyde or ketone under acidic conditions
imine: primary amine + aldehyde or ketone under acidic conditions
