Q

relationship between bond strength and the absorption of IR radiaion

A

weaker bonds require a lower fq of radiation to vibrate bonds

bond that vibrates a higher fq adsorbs IR radiation with a higher wave#

Q

NMR

A

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy => determine entire structure/ provides structural information
magnetic field interacts with nuclear spin of atoms
- short powerful radio pulse absorbed by nuclei -> flip to high nrg spin status
- spectrum produced when nuclei return to low nrg spin states releasing a pulse of nrg

15
Q

why is the chemical shift different for different hydrogen environments

A

Because diffent hydrogen environments have different atoms surrounding its nucleus, this affects the amount of chemical shielding experienced thefore affecting the energy emitted from the nucleus spinning

21
Q

which molecules are more attracted to the polar stationary phase

A

polar molecules

22
Q

stationary phase

A

solid onto which compounds of a sample adsorb

23
Q

mobile phase

A

phase that flows through stationary phase carrying components of a sample with it

24
Q

adsoption
desorpion

A

ad= components adhere to the stationary phase
de= component released from the stationary phase and dissolves into mobile phase

25
Q

what effects the rate substances move along the stationary phase

A

solubility in mobile phase (higher solubility -> shorter reention time)
strength of adsorption to stationary phase (stronger -> longer retention time)

26
Q

which moleculesa are more attracted to polar solvents

A

polar molecules

27
Q

how to determine which sample has most strongly adsorbed to the stationary phase

A

the sample which has moved the least amount of distance through the column due to strong attraction to the stationary phase

28
Q

how to determine the component which is least atracted to the stationary phase

q

A

the component that has moved the greatest distance through the column. That component would have adsorbed ino the stationary pahse and desorbed back into the mobile rate at a faster rate than the other components in the system

29
Q

explain separation of two different components in chromatography

A

-> separation occurs as components move with different rates of adsorpion to the stationaruy phase and desorption to the moile phase
-> one component move least distance bc more strongly adsorbs to stationary phase
-> other component moves most distance bc less strongly adsorb to stationary phase and more readily desorbs to mobile phase

30
Q

retention time

A

amount of time a sample stays in the COLUMN
longer rt if sample
- adsorbs more strongly to stationary phase
- are bigger tf carried more slowly by mobile phase

31
Q

position of peaks in HPLC chromotograms

A

represent RT

32
Q

area under chromatogram peak

A

link to concentration of component in sample, greater amount of component, greater AREA under peak

33
Q

fatcors affecting rt

A

length of ccolumn
temperature
surface area of stationary phase
identity/composition of stationary and mobile phase

34
Q

stardard solution

A

solution with accurately known concenration

35
Q

HPLC

high performance liquid chromatography

A

measure large compounds
stationary phase= fine particle waxy solids
mobile phase= pure solvent pumped under high pressure that helps move substance thru densly packed column
measures rt

q

36
Q

interpolation

A

values exist within range of measurements

reliable

37
Q

primary standards

A

used to make standard solution:
- pure form
- known chemical formula
- easy to store without deterioating/reacting w atmosphere
- high Mr
- inexpensive

eg anhydrous Na2CO3

38
Q

equivalence point

A

neither reactant is in excess and reactants have reacted in exact molar ratio

39
Q

why is it at equivalence point, pH is not always 7

A

due to acid-base properties of conjugate products that might be formed

40
Q

what can affect the titre required to achieve the endpoint

(for ans, assuming acid in conicle flask and base in burette)

A

dilution of base in burette (change in conc of base)
change in type of acid ie monoprotic vs diprotic (change in conc of H ions)

NOT DILUTION OF ACID OR USE OF WEAKER/STRONGER ACID

41
Q

finding mol of compound in vol flask from aliquot

A

[mol of aliquot] divided by [ml of aliquot] multiplied by [ml of flask]

42
Q

rf value calc

A

distance travelled from origin / distance travelled by solvent front from origin

43
Q

products of esterification reactions

A

WATER and ester

44
Q

extrapolation

A

values outside range of data tf predictions are unreliable

45
Q

how to explain whether selction of indicator is appropriate (structure)

A
  • state equivalence point (below/above/at 7)
  • “a pH indicator that has a pH range similar below/above/at 7 is appropriate)
  • state indicator range and whether it is inside/outside steepest section of pH curve tf not/appropriate
  • suggest beter indicator if not
46
Q
