Organic Chem Test Part 2 Flashcards
Micelle
Soap molecules that clump together
Hydrophobic tail
- one part of the soap molecule
- non polar
- doesn’t like water
Hydrophilic head
- one part of the soap molecule
- polar
- likes the water
Polarity
Industrial process of saponification
Lab saponification process
Difference between industrial and lab procedure of Aspirin
Industrial- they will boil the beaker
Lab we set it to 80 degrees
The found active ingredient for the medicinal properties of many plants
Salicylic acid
Esterification reaction
The phenolic (OH) group in the salicylic acid is replaced with an ester group (from the acetic anhydride); sulfuric acid catalyst
Initial Iron (III) color
Apple juice color
Aspirin: Salicylic acid
Solution turned deep purple
Aspirin: Lab synthesized
Turned medium purple
Phenol source is probably unreacted salicylic acid reactant (source of error - washing crystals)
Commercial Aspirin
Turned lighter purple(or didn’t change at all)
Phenol source is probably the age of the aspirin - as it ages the aspirin reacts with water in the air and reforms salicylic acid
Petroleum separates into various _____ by _______
Fractions by distillation
Separation based on boiling point (physical not chemical)
Petroleum diagram in order(top to bottom)
*Cool (25 degrees C) ~refinery gases- bottled gas ~Gasoline(petrol)- fuel for cars ~naphtha- making chemicals ~kerosene- aircraft fuel ~diesel fuel- fuel for cars, lorries, busses ~Fuel Oil- fuel for ships, power stations `heated crude oil ~residue- bitumen for roads and roofs *hot (350 degrees C)
