16
Q

how does the melting point of TWO substances compare to that one just ONE

A

it tends to be lower

have a wider range

17
Q

how can the identity and purity of a compound be checked

A

measuring MP and mixed MP

18
Q

crystallization

A

the process of forming crystals

19
Q

is it possible to crystallize only one compound from a mixture?

A

yes, it is a purification technique

20
Q

what percent is considered a “pure” compound?

A

greater than 70%

21
Q

what is an ideal agent for crystallization?

A 
available
cheap
volatile
dissolves compound poorly at low temps
dissolves compound well at high temps
does not dissolve impurities OR dissolves them very well- so they don't crystallize with the compound
22
Q

7 steps of crystallization

A 
1- choosing solvent
2- dissolving the solvent
3- decolorizing the solvent
4- filtering the suspended solids
5- crystallizing the solute
6- collecting and washing the crystals
7- drying the product
23
Q

compounds involved in the synthesis of dibenzylacetone

A 
benzylaldehyde and acetone
ethanol = solvent
NaOH = catalyst
dibenzylacetone = end product w/ enantiomers
benzylacetone = possible impurity
24
Q

what is the ratio of acetone and benzaldehyde?

A

1:2

25
Q

how can traces of NaOH be eliminated?

A

water wash

26
Q

how long does the synthesis of dibenzylacetone take

A

30 minutes

27
Q

how does chromatography work?

A

it relies on the difference of affinity of compounds

as the solvent moves, it carries the compound with it

28
Q

what is the driving reason that chromatography works?

A

polarity of molecules

29
Q

what is the Rf?

A

retention factor; used to determine a compound’s mobility

ratio of the distance that its traveled

30
Q

irregularities of thin layer chromatography

A 
spots are too faint
spots are large and overlapping
all spots are at the top
all spots are near the bottom
spots are large and diffuse
spots are smudged
levels of spots are uneven or curved
31
Q

what does liquid liquid extraction rely on for acid base extraction

A

difference in affinity of the compounds

32
Q

what is a good solvent for extraction?

A

cheap
volatile
dissolves the other substance well
does not mix with the other solvent used

33
Q

evaporation

A

the phase change between a liquid and a gas

34
Q

higher the pressure…

A

…the higher the boiling point

35
Q

where is the boiling point of a mixture?

A

in between the boiling points of the compounds

36
Q

how should compounds be heated in the lab?

A

thoroughly and evenly, and NOT TOO FAST otherwise the equilibrium can be disturbed

37
Q

what is the purpose of boiling chips?

A

provide bubbling constant centers; allow for it to boil evenly

38
Q

what compounds are involved in hypochlorite oxidation?

A 
cyclohexanol (starting material)
sodium hypochlorite - reagent
acetic acid - catalyst
cyclohexanone - product
sodium sulfite - used to neutralize the acidic product
NaOH - neutralization
cacl2 - removes excess water
