Q

Organic Structure and Solubility

What is an example of solvent extraction?

A

-A product mixture is an aqueous solution with required product X. It is known that X has a higher solubility in hexane than water
-The aqueous mixture is added to separating funnel and a volume of hexane is added. It is then vigorously shaken and placed on a stand allowing the particles to settle.
-Product X is seen to be dissolved more in hexane than water, the lower layer is drained away, leaving the hexane in the funnel
-X can be recovered by evaporating the hexane

Q

How does the volatilty of a compound affcet its vapor pressure

A

The more volatile the compound, the more vapor pressure exerted

28

A

Equal to the sum of the vapor pressure of each component in mixture

29
Q

Organic Structure and Volatility

What is the equation of the total vapor pressure?

A

Ptotal= PA+PB

30
Q

Organic Structure and Volatility

How can PA and PB be found?

A

By using P°, which is the vapor pressure of a pure substance.
PA = P°A × XA and PB = P°B × XB

31
Q

Organic Structure and Volatility

A

The vapour
pressures and proportion of each liquid present

32
Q

Organic Structure and Volatility

What is the vapor above the mixture of solutions enriched with?

A

The more volatile component

33
Q

Organic Structure and Volatility

How does the process of fractional ditillation occur?

A

Uses a fractionating column, which has glass beads or projections inside to increase surface area. As solution boils, it evaporates up the column until it reaches colder areas and recondenses back down. This recondensed vapor is reboiled by the ascending vapor and the process repeats until sufficient vapor exits the flask and is collected and condensed to form liquid with more volatile compound.

40
Q

Steroid Detection

What are the techniques used in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry?

A

-Gas chromatography which separates chemical mixture into pure chemicals
-Mass spectroscopy identifies and quatifies compunds

41
Q

Gas Chromatography

What is the basic principle of gas chromatography?

A

Components have different affinities for 2 phases, a stationary and mobile phase, and these compounds are separated as mobile phase moves through staionary phase

42
Q

Gas Chromatography

What is the stationary phase?

A

A microscopic layer of a non-volatile liquid, usually a polymer, which is coated on the walls of an inert solid support

43
Q

Gas Chromatography

What is the mobile phase?

A

An inert carrier gas such as helium

44
Q

Gas Chromatography

What is the separation of the comunds determned by?

A

By the different rates at which they move through instrument

45
Q

Gas Chromatography

What does the rate depend on?

A

The boiling point and solubilities of each component, as these will detemine the associations with the mobile and stationary phase

46
Q

Gas Chromatography

How do the molecules partition themselves?

A

Molecules who spend more time in mobile phase move more quickly, while those with higher boiling points and greater solubility in stationary phase move more slowly

47
Q

Gas Chromatography

What is the process of chromatography?

A

Sample is introduced into instrument by injection and heated so that it boils. The inert gas will then mix with the boiled substance and will travel into the column

48
Q

Gas Chromatography

Why is the temperature used in chromatography lower than the initial temperature?

A

So that components are able to condense and may condense on stationary phase on walls of column

49
Q

Gas Chromatography

How will the components be removed?

A

Based on how they have been partitioned, the components are eluted at a retention time

50
Q

Gas Chromatography

How is the concentration of each component recorded?

A

A detector is used to
record the passage of each compound as a peak, and the area under the peak is a measure of its concentration relative to a known standard.

51
Q

Gas Chromatography

Which compounds are eluted more quickly?

A

More volatile compounds are eluted quicker and have shorteer retention times

52
Q

Mass Spectrometry

What does a mass spectrometer do?

A

Vaporizes the sample and then generates positive ions from the components. These ions are then accelerated and deflected in a magnetic field, and separated according
to their different deflections

53
Q

Mass Spectrometry

How can molecules be identified?

A

From their mass to charge ratio when they are fragmented. Molecules tend to fragment in predictable places so fragmentation patterns gives clues to their structures

54
