Q

Why does phenol react more readily with bromine than benzene?

A

.One of the lone pairs of electrons on the p orbital of the O atom in the OH is partially delocalised into the ring.This increases the electron density.The electrophile becomes more polarised

Q

Where do electron donating groups promote substitution?

A

.They increase the electron density at positions 2, 4, and 6.So electrophiles are more likely to react at these positions.The group directs substitution to positions 2, 4, and 6.2, 4-directing.The weaker position at 3 and 5 are rarely substituted

Q

The method for identifying a carbonyl compound using bradys agent

A
  1. You are given an unknown compound with a carbonyl group2. Add 2,4-DNP to see an orange precipitate formed that is a derivative of the carbonyl group3. Filter off the crystals using a Buchner funnel and water pumpThis is an impure solid you need to have a pure solid, so we need to purify and then recrystallize4. Dissolve the crystals in the smallest amount of hot solvent (ethanol) to purify and then put the test-tube in ice water to allow the pure solid to recrystallize5. Filter off the crystals again using a Buchner funnel and water pump, this time you have a pure solid6. Find the melting point of the pure solid7. Compare to a known database of melting points for carbonyl derivatives to identify carbonyl

Q

Why are carboxylic acids soluble in water?

A

Carboxylic acids are polar molecules, electrons are drawn towards the oxygen atoms.Hydrogen bonds form between the highly polarised hydrogen and oxygen atoms on the molecules.This makes them soluble in water.

A

A lone pair of electrons are more available if its electron density is higherThe higher density, the more available the lone pair, the stronger the base

177
Q

How strong of a base are aromatic amines? Why?

A

For aromatic amines, the benzene ring pulls the electrons towards the delocalized ring, electron density increases, weak base

178
Q

How strong of a base is ammonia? Why?

A

For ammonia, it doesn’t have an aromatic group to pull the lone pair away or an alkyl group to push the lone pair of electrons forward, base

179
Q

How strong of a base are aliphatic amines? Why?

A

For aliphatic amines (RNH2), the alkyl group pushes the electrons forward, towards the nitrogen, so the electron density increases, and the lone pair is more available, strong base

256
Q

What is Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)?

A
  • TLC is very similar to paper chromatography- Rather than using chromatography/filter paper the stationary phase is a thin uniform layer (usually silica gel) coated on a piece of plastic, metal, or glass- The mobile phase is a liquid which acts as a solvent for the substances you are trying to separate or analyze
257
Q

Steps of TLC

A
  1. A base line is drawn in pencil across the plate and dots of the substances are placed along the line2. The plate is placed in a beaker of the solvent such that the level of the solvent is below the line and the solvent moves up the plate3. A lid is placed to ensure the atmosphere in the tank is saturated with the often volatile solvent which climbs up the plate causing the mixture to separate4. As the solvent front moves up the plate the mixture separates into its different components5. The solvent reaches near to the top of the plate and the plate is removed6. The solvent front is noted and the solvent is left to evaporate
258
Q

What happens if the substances are colorless in TLC?

A
  • Using UV Lighto The stationary phase has a chemical added to it which will fluorescence under UV light, the spots need to be circled while under the light- Chemicallyo The chromatogram is dried and sprayed with a ninhydrin spray, amino acids react and turn a purple/brown colouro You can also use iodine crystals, the chromatogram is dried and placed in an enclosed container with a few iodine crystals, the iodine vapor in the container may either react with the pots on the chromatogram, or simply stick more to the spots than to the rest of the plate, either way the substances you are interested in may show up as brownish spots
259
Q

How does TLC work?

A
  • Silica gel is a form of silicon dioxide (silica)- The silicon atoms are joined via oxygen atoms in a giant covalent structure- However, at the surface of the silica gel, the silicon atoms are attached to -OH groups- The surface of the silica gel is very polar and, because of the -OH groups, can form hydrogen bonds with suitable compounds around it as well as van der waals dispersion forces and dipole-dipole attractions- With a solid stationary phase, the pigments are adsorbed onto the surface of the solid particles or fibers- The relative forces of attraction between the stationary phase, the mobile phase, and the pigment mean that separation happens
260
Q

Define adsorption

A

Adsorption – is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface

261
Q

Which pigments will move how much in TLC?

A
  • Insoluble pigmento Won’t move- Strong forces of adsorptiono More polar so won’t move a lot- Weak forces of adsorptiono Less polar so will move a lot
262
Q

When will the Rf value stay the same?

A
  • Providing the temperature, stationery phase, and solvent stay the same, the Rf value will stay the same on repeats
263
Q

What is Gas liquid chromatography?

A
  • In GLC a long column is often filled with a liquid compound- In thinner tubes, the stationary phase is coated to the inside surface of the tube- The sample is vaporized and pushed through the column by an inert carrier gas (most often nitrogen or helium)
264
Q

How does gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) work?

A
  • Depending on the solubility of the different compounds in the stationary liquid phase, their boiling points and the temperature of the column, the different compounds will travel through the GLC column at different speeds- The length of time a compound remains in the column is known as the retention time- It is calculated from the time the sample is injected until the maximum peak heigh for that compound is observed on the display/chromatogram- Compare to a known database to find the molecule
265
Q

Explain how to find the proportion of components in GLC?

A

The area under the peaks can be used to calculate the composition of the mixtureArea of triangle = ½ x base x heightWork out individual areas and add them togetherWork out percentage of area taken up by each peak
