Q

What are some features of heating under reflux

A

It is carried out at a fixed temperature
If it is under 100 degrees a water bath can be used
And a heating mantle can be used for flammable liquids
Anti bumping granules can be added to flask so the contents will boil smoothly

Q

How is the condenser arranged when heating under reflux

A

It is kept upright and clamped loosely as the outer glass is fragile
No stopped on top of the condenser to prevent the build up of pressure
Water enters at the bottom and exits at the top of the Leibig condenser

Q

How does the condenser work

A

The vapour rises and then passes into the condenser where it is cooled and drips back into the flask

Q

What is the process of the distillation

A

The flask is heated and the mixture will start to boil
Different liquids in the mixture will have different BPs
Lowest BP is the most volatile and boils first
Vapour moves out of the flask and into the condenser where it will cool back to a liquid and drip into the collecting flask.

17
Q

What are the steps when using a separating funnel (1)

A

1)Ensure the tap of the separating funnel is closed

2)Pour the mixture of liquids into the separating funnel and place a stopper at the top of the funnel, invert to mix

3) allow the layers to settle

4) add some water to see which layer increases in volume and this is the aqueous layer

18
Q

What are the steps when using a separating funnel (2)

A
  1. Place a conical flask under the separating funnel, remove the stopper and open the tap until the whole of the lower layer has left the funnel
  2. Place a second conical flask under the separating funnel to collect the other layer
  3. Have one conical flask with the organic layer and one with the aqueous labelled properly
19
Q

What may be leftover in the organic liquid and why

A

Preparation of organic liquid often involves acids, so there may be acids in your impure product.

20
Q

What are the steps to remove the acids present

A

Add aqueous sodium carbonate, shake in a separating funnel

The acid will react with the sodium carbonate forming carbon dioxide gas

Open the tap slowly holding the separating funnel upside down to release any gas produced

Use the separating funnel to remove the aqueous sodium carbonate layer and the organic layer should be washed with water before running both layers off

21
Q

How do you dry the water present

A

Add a drying agent to the organic liquid - anhydrous inorganic salt
This readily takes up water becoming hydrated.

22
Q

What are the steps to dry the organic product

A

1) Add organic liquid to conical flask
2) using spatula add during agent to liquid and gently swirl to mix
3) Place stopper on flask - stopping evaporation and leave for 10 minutes
4) If solid is in one lump there is still water add move or the drying agent until some of the solid is dispersed in the solution as fine powder
5) Decant liquid from solid into another flask, if liquid is dry it should be clear.

23
Q

What are some common inorganic slats used and for what

A

Anhydrous calcium chloride - drying hydrocarbons
Anhydrous calcium sulphate - general drying
Anhydrous magnesium sulphate - general drying

24
Q

Why is re-distillation sometimes required

A

Some organic liquids have boiling points that are very similar
So the sample may be impure

25
Q

How should redistillation be done

A

Clean and dry the distillation apparatus for carrying out a second distillation
Now only collect the product with the boiling points of the desired compounds
The narrower the boiling range the purer the product.

26
Q

What is organic synthesis

A

The preparation of complex molecules from simple starting molecules
Making new structures

27
Q

What is organic synthesis used to

A

Manufacturing of modern medicines

28
Q

What are the functional groups for year 12 and draw them

A

Alkene C=C
Alcohol -OH
Haloalkanes -Cl, -Br, -I
Aldehydes
Carboxylic acids
Ketones

29
Q

How can you predict properties and reactions of unknown molecules

A

After identifying the functional groups you can predict the properties of unknown molecules. By drawing its structure you can identify the functional groups.

30
Q

What is the target molecule

A

The compound that the chemist is aiming to prepare by organic synthesis

31
Q

What is a simple synthesis

A

The target molecule is obtained by reacting very available reagent in a one-step reaction

32
Q

Why do most organic synthesis’ contain many steps

A

As they have to change the functional groups or add carbon atoms to the chain length.

33
Q

How can you identify what is required in a two stage synthesis

A

Identify functional groups in starting and target molecule
Identify the intermediate that links the starting and target
State the reagents and conditions for the steps

34

37
Q
