Organic Chem Laboratory - Midterm Flashcards
Direct conversion of substance from solid to gas WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH THE LIQUID STATE.
Sublimation
It can applied when the compound of a solid mixture differ appreciably in their vapor pressures.
Separation
Depends on the differences of volatility
Purification
Impurities that will remain behind as a residue in the sublimation process
Less volatile or non-volatile
Two process that involves sublimation
- Separation
- Purification
-Organic
- Polar (carboxylic acid + alcohol)
-can undergo sublimation process
- has a high vapor pressure; volatile in nature
Salicylic Acid
Add impurity ______ ______ to separate impurity to organic
Sodium sulfate
-precipitating agent -DETECTS presence of Sodium Sulfate (the impurity use to separate impurity from organic compounds)
Barium Chloride (BaCl2)
Other substances that undergo sublimation:
-Camphor
-Napthalene
-Ammonium Chloride
-Anthracene
(CANA)
-method employed to separate/ withdraw substances based on their solubility
-Involves separation of medicinally active portion of a plant/ animal tissue, by using selected solvents.
Extraction
solvent used for extraction
Menstruum
insoluble material that remains in the extraction
Marc
filtrate (contains the solvent dissolved with extracted substance)
Extractive
(residue) concentrate left after evaporation of solvent (menstruum).
Extract
Solid ingredients are placed and soaked in a container with a prescribed solvent and allowed to stand for 2-3 days
Maceration
Form of maceration in which gentle heat is used (15 minutes)
Digestion
Extracting water-soluble and heat-table contents of plant by boiling in water
Decoction
