Q

IR spectrum analysis

A
  • specific covalent bond represents each peak
  • a bond that vibrates at higher frequency absorbs IR radiation with higher wavenumber and greater energy bond
    -must specify the O-H bonds but not as necessary for other types

Q

principles of nuclear spin and NMR

A
  • in order to interact with radio waves atoms must have nuclear spin
  • in presence of external magnetic field nuclei line up in unstable arrangement
  • normally in low energy state and aligned with strong magnet

Q

how chromatography works

A
  • each substance analyses the different rates they move along the stationary phase depending on strength and solubility of mobile phase
    -absorption to sp and desorption into mobile phase

20
Q

stationary phases

A

polar sp - polar molecules
non polar sp - non polar molecules
- stronger adsorption tosp. = longer Rt

21
Q

mobile phase

A

polar molecules - polar solvents vise versa
higher solubility in mobile phase= shorter Rt

22
Q

talking about which sample is most strongly adsorbed to sp

A

-______ strongly adsorbed at sp and more readily desorbs to mobile phase
- moved least distance through column and leave later (longest Rt)

23
Q

HPLC analysis

A

measure larger organic compounds and molecules as opposed to small volaile (gas)

24
Q

measurements HPLC

A
  • measures Rt- deduce compounds present SAME /IDENTICAL CONDITIONS -peak area( concentration)
25
Q

Retention time

A

amount of time sample stays in column
- identifies a compound
- longer the Rt = adsorb more strongly and bigger

26
Q

factors influencing Rt

A
  • composition of sp and mp - increase SA
  • length of column
    -temperature and increase flow rate/pressure
27
Q

reliability - interp. vs extrap

A

within range = interpolation
outside range = extrapolation

28
Q

primary standards

A

pure substances whose mol/ amount can be accurately calculated from their mass
- pure form / known chemical formula/ easy to store/ higher molecular mass

29
Q

preparing a standard solution

A
  • weigh the pure solid on balance
  • transfer to a volumetric flask w funnel
  • rinse any remaining solid p w deionised water
  • half fill flask and stopper it - swirl so particles will dissolve
  • add deionised water up to calibration line
    -stopper the flask and shake so even concentration dispersed throughout
30
Q

dilution equation

A

C1V1=C2V2

31
Q

what are the implications if dilutions are / are not performed

A
  • standard solution = if X diluted then higher conc of solution and larger or very small titres
32
Q

equivalence point

A
  • point where exact mole ratio is reached
  • point in reaction when neither reactant is in ecess
33
Q

end point

A

when indicator used in reaction results in a colour change

34
Q

rinsing - burette or pipette

A

rinse with acid or base that will be put in it

  • with water = diluted
35
Q

rinsing- volumetric + conical flask

A

rinse with deionised water

36
Q

strong acid strong base - pH curve

A

equivalence point approx. 7

37
Q

strong acid weak base - pH curve

A

equivalence point below 7 pH

38
Q

strong base weak acid

A

equivalence point above 7 pH

39
Q

problematic form of pH curve?

A

weak acid+ weak base
x sudden change so x determine eq point

40
Q

volumetric analysis

A

an analytical technique that measures volume - analyses solution

41
Q

what does rinsing pippette or burette with deionised water do

A

dilution - require less or more of titre to neutralise - change in conc

42
Q

adsorption

A

adhering to stationary phase

43
Q

why does seperation occur in chromatography

A
  • different molecules = diff speeds
  • different attractions to s and m phase so desorb and adsorb at different rates
  • strongest adsorption = travels least distance and most soluble = greatest distance
44
Q

why do primary standards have high molar mass

A

allow for discrepencies in calculations - less impact

45
Q

density

A

mass/ volume

46
Q

calibration curves - inaccurate or not?

A

interpolation
extrapolation

47
Q

m/z

A

mass to charge

48
Q

chemical shift

A

difference in energy needed to change spin state in sample compared to TMS

49
Q

HPLC chromatogram: the peak at __ minutes is beyond the scope of the vertical axis. how to solve the issue?

A

conc. = very high so should be diluted to fit the range of the standards
