Module 1: QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF ELEMENTS IN ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Flashcards
the elements that can be commonly found among organic compounds include
C - chlorine
H - hydrogen
O - oxygen
N - nitrogen
S - sulfur
P - phosphorus
Si - silicon
F - fluorine
Cl - chlorine
Br - bromine
I - iodine
- “systemic approach” that can give satisfactory results in identifying elements in organic compounds using qualitative chemical reagents
Qualitative Analysis
CO2 is detected by __________, while the H2O is detected by anhydrous cupric sulfate
lime water
approach with the use of organs/senses (except hearing)
organoleptic approach
upon heating, the carbon and hydrogen present in the organic compound are oxidized to ________________________
carbon dioxide and water
CO2 reacts with Ca(OH)2 forming
CaCO3 and H2O
CO2 + Ca(OH)2 → CaCO3 + H2O
these elements must be converted first into inorganic ions before proceeding to qualitative analysis → done by fusing the organic compound with the __________
sodium metal
- qualitative chemical tests highly rely on “organoleptic approach” through observation of test results
Qualitative Analysis
REACTION WITH CUPRIC OXIDE
- detected by strongly heating the said substance with _____________
cupric oxide (CuO)
CO2 is detected by lime water, while the H2O is detected by ______________________
anhydrous cupric sulfate
other elements such as “nitrogen, halogens, and sulfur” are “difficult to detect” in an organic compound → they __________ in solution and are “bonded covalently”
do not ionize
CO2 reacts with Ca(OH)2 forming CaCO3 and H2O, wherein the _____________________ due to the formation of precipitates (CaCO3)
clear solution becomes turbid
- H2O reacts with anhydrous CuSO4 forming CuSO4 * 5 H2O, wherein the _______________ (CuSO4 * 5 H2O)
white powder turns to blue
H2O reacts with anhydrous CuSO4 forming
CuSO4 * 5 H2O
5 H2O + CuSO4 → CuSO4 * 5 H2O
the alkaline solution obtained by extracting the fused mass in water is called _____________
sodium extract or Lassaigne’s extract
- the following reactions are created upon the fusion of the said elements with sodium metal:
S + 2 Na → ?
Na2S
! aside from Lassaigne’s sodium fusion test, there are other applicable qualitative tests that can be used
- the following reactions are created upon the fusion of the said elements with sodium metal:
C + N + Na →
NaCN
- the following reactions are created upon the fusion of the said elements with sodium metal:
X (Cl, Br, I) + Na → ?
NaX (X = Cl, Br, I)
sodium halide
SODA LIME TEST FOR AMIDE NITROGEN
- if the organic compound is in the form of ___________________, heating it with _________ (NaOHand CaO) will liberate ________________ gas (characteristic pungent ammonia odor)
- amino nitrogen (–NH2)
- soda lime
- ammonia (NH3)
SODA LIME TEST FOR AMIDE NITROGEN
- to confirm the presence of the said gas, a moist ________________________
red litmus paper must turn to blue
SODA LIME TEST FOR AMIDE NITROGEN
- the reaction involved:
urea + NaOH + CaO → ??
2 NH3 + Na2CO3
Note:
urea + NaOH + CaO → 2 NH3 + Na2CO3
______________is limited to organic compounds with amino (–NH2) group only, nitro (-NO2) and azo (-N=N-) compounds cannot be detected by this test
soda lime test
soda lime test is limited to organic compounds with _____________ , nitro (-NO2) and azo (-N=N-) compounds cannot be detected by this test
= amino (–NH2) group only
