orgo lab solubility Flashcards
water soluble
-4 carbon or less
-contains N, O, or S
water insoluble
-5 or 6 carbon
-contains N, O, or S
HCL soluble
-if it is it most likely contains an amine
-molecule with a benzene instead of an alkyl group has lowered its basicity bc of delocalization
aliphatic amine
rNH2 + HCL -> RNH3^+ + Cl^-
HCL insoluble
-diarly and triaryl because they dont protonate easily
-amines with high molecular weights
NaHCO3 soluble
-it is a strong base
-will be soluble for weak bases and strong acids
-COOH is soluble too
NaOH soluble
-it is a weak base
-soluble for strong bases and strong or weak acids
-phenol and COOH are soluble
why are phenol and COOH soluble in NaOH, why is COOH soluble in NaCHO3?
because they form salts in the reaction and the salts are what are soluble
phenols and COOH make?
conjugate bases
NaHCO3 and NaOH insoluble
-phenols that make a color in a rxn
-salts that form from compounds with high molecular weights
-COOH compounds with a very long carbon chain
H2SO4 insoluble
-only inert compounds are insolible
inert compounds
-alkanes, alkyl halides, and aromatics WITHOUT functional groups
H2SO4 soluble
-ketones, aldehydes, esters, and alcohol
-also considered neutral
what does solubility tell you about a compound?
-polarity, functional groups, molecular weight, and if it is an acid, base or neutral
strong base
amine
