organic chem and analysis Flashcards

1
Q

why was kekules model incorrect

A

benzene doesn’t decolourise bromine water
has a much less exothermic enthalpy change of hydrogenation than expected

Q

what is the test for haloalkanes?

A

warm the haloalkane with NaOH in a mixture of ethanol and water
haloalkane will undergo nucleophilic substitution and release the halide ion into solution

acidify sample of halide ion w dilute nitric acid to remove carbonate ions
add silver nitrate
forms silver halide ppt

AgCl - white
AgBr - cream
AgI - yellow

16
Q

what is the test for carbonyls?

A

pale orange solution of 2,4-DNP dissolved in methanol then H2SO4
add few drops of carbonyl to 5cm3 of 2,4-DNP and leave to stand
add few drops of H2SO4
yellow/ orange ppt forms

17
Q

what is the test for aldehydes?

A

warm tollens reagent (aqueous alkaline solution of silver nitrate in excess ammonia solution) w an aldehyde
aldehyde oxidised to a carboxylic acid and Ag+ reduced to Ag atoms
in the alkeline conditions, the carboxylic acid will become a carboxylate ion and form a salt
Ag atoms dorm a silver mirror on inside of test tube
ketones cannot be oxidised so give neg test
OR
turn blue fehlings solution to orange/ brick red ppt

18
Q

what is the test for alcohols?

A

1cm3 of alcohol in test tube
1cm3 of acidified potassium dichromate (oxidising agent)
add stopper to test tube and shake
place in 60ºC water bath for few mins
primary/ secondary= orange to green
tertiary= stays orange

19
Q

what is the test for carboxylic acids?

A

pH probe or dip end of glass rod in solution then on indicator paper- pH3
OR
1-2cm3 sodium carbonate added
gas bubbled produced
gas bulbbled into limewater
limewater turns cloudy
confirming gas is CO2

20
Q

what is the test for phenols?

A

shaken w bromine water
substitution reaction
decolourises bromine water
white ppt forms

21
Q

what are samples measured against in NMR and why?

A

TMS
produces single intense peak at far rhs
protons highly shielded
inert
non toxic

22
Q

what are the components of a NMR spectrometer?

A

radio wave source
radio wave detector
stable magnetic field formed by superconducting coils and elecrtomagnets

23
Q

which type of atoms need more energy to resonate in NMR?

A

more deshielded

24
Q

what are samples for NMR analysis dissolved in and why is this used?

A

deuterated solvents
all 1H replaced by deuterium D 2H
produces no signals in NMR

25
Q

in proton NMR, what does the ratio of the relevant areas under each peak represent?

A

ratio of how many protons responsible for each peak

26
Q

in proton NMR, how is the number of adjacent protons represented?

A

number of adjacent protons + 1
= number of sub peaks
