Module 6: SIMPLE DISTILLATION AND CHROMATOGRAPHY Flashcards
- involves the process of “separating two or more liquids” homogenously mixed but with different boiling points (at least 20 degrees difference)
SIMPLE DISTILLATION
- when the mixture of liquids to be distilled is heated, the “liquid with the _________ boiling point” turns into vapors first
lowest
- as the distillation progresses, the concentration of the lowest boiling component will ___________
steadily decrease
- when the temperature again stabilizes, another pure fraction of the distillate can be collected
fractional distillation
- further acidification of the previous reaction of acetone with sodium nitroprusside and sodium hydroxide using acetic acid will convert the wine-red color into _______________, thereby confirming the distillate as acetone (as elaborated by Le Nobel)
magenta-red solution
- as the solution starts to boil, the liquid with the ______ boiling point turns to vapors first
lowest
- this vapor would then be “condensed back into
liquid” inside the condenser, which will then be
collected as the ________
distillate
lowering the pressure, thus, lowering the boiling point of the
substance
note!
separation of the liquid mixture can be detected through _______
ignition test
- an organic sample (acetone) will ignite, thereby can identifying what type of compound is the ____________
distillate
acetone (a ketone) will react with sodium nitroprusside and sodium hydroxide producing a ________________ due to the formation of acetone nitroprusside ion complex
wine-red solution
react with acetone (a ketone) producing a wine-red solution
CH3COCH3 + Na2[Fe(CN)5NO] [Fe(CN)5NO(CH2COCH3)] NaOH2+
SODIUM NITROPRUSSIDE TEST
reaction of acetone with sodium nitroprusside and sodium hydroxide using _____________ will convert the wine-red color into magenta-red solution
GLACIAL ACETIC ACID
- the process of separating the substances in a complex mixture by their “different affinities” to an “adsorbent”
CHROMATOGRAPHY
- derived from the Greek words, chroma meaning _____, and graphein meaning to _______
chroma = color
graphein = write
(literally means color writing)
Chromatography commonly used for analyzing mixtures of
______________
colored chemicals
- this technique involves separation of constituent elements of the mixture
Chromatography
Chromatography invented by a Russian botanist, _________________, in 1901, while researching on plant pigments
Mikhail Semyonovich Tsvet
- a liquid or solid that is fixed in a place during the process
