33
Q

What is a way to reduce hazards and waste in synthesis routes?

A
  • avoid solvents - they are often flammable and toxic and often has to be disposed of afterwards
34
Q

What is chemical shift measured relative to?

A

Tetramethylsilane

35
Q

What does integrated spectra tell you?

A

The relative number of hydrogens in each environment

36
Q

What is the rule for splitting patterns?

37
Q

What can solvents not contain if they are used for H NMR?

38
Q

What are the 3 types of Chromatography?

A
  • Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) – a plate is coated with a solid and a solvent moves up the plate
  • Column chromatography (CC) – a column is packed with a solid and a solvent moves down the column
  • Gas chromatography (GC) – a column is packed with a solid or with a solid coated by a liquid, and a gas is passed through the column under pressure at high temperature
39
Q

What is the mobile phase?

A

Where the molecules can move - always gas or liquid

40
Q

What is the stationary phase?

A

Where the molecules can’t move - always a solid or a liquid on a solid support

41
Q

In TLC, what is the stationary phase?

A

Silica or Alumina

42
Q

How are colourless chemicals revealed?

A

Using UV light or Iodine

43
Q

What does seperation depend on?

A

Separation depends on the balance between solubility in the moving phase and retention by the stationary phase

44
Q

How do you work out the Rf value?

A

Distance travelled by spot/Distance travelled by solvent

45
Q

What is GC-MS?

A

Gas chromatography-Mass Spectrometry - the samples are separated with GC and then fed into a mass spectrometer, which produces a mass spectrum for each component

46
Q

What are the advantages of GC-MS?

A

+ components can be positively identified

+ computers can match results to a database
