Solubility of Organic Compounds Flashcards
each of these has a particular set of chemical properties that is to be identified
functional group
Chemical reactions that can be accompanied by
color changes
precipitation formation
can be classified in different families and class
organic compounds
The type of compounds soluble in a particular solvent are summarized on the following pages:
(5)
water-soluble compounds
5% sodium hydroxide soluble compounds
5% sodium bicarbonate soluble compounds
5% hydrochloric acid soluble compounds
96% sulfuric acid soluble compounds
three pieces of information that a solubility test can show
- the presence of functional group
- solubility leads to information about functional group present
- can indicate presence of acidic functional group
homologous series of compounds, members with fewer than five carbons are ____
water soluble
higher homologs are (soluble/insoluble)
soluble
functional groups that are (away/near) the center increases water solubility
near
linear/chain branching increases water solublity
chain branching
its identity may be determined through quantitative analysis which include solubility characteristics and functional group test
organic compound
other physical properties that can be used with solubility (5)
melting point
boiling point
color
odor
spectral data
provide a general idea of the functional group as well as general characteristics of the sample
solubility of organic compounds
general classification that may be alcohols, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids with <5 atoms
A group
carboxylic acids with (more than/less than) 5 carbon atoms belongs to group A
less than
general classification may be carboxylic acids with >5 carbon atoms and phenols with electron withdrawing croups
class B1
carboxylic acids with (more than/less than) 5 carbon atoms belongs to group B1
more than
general characteristics may be phenols
class B2
classifications may be amines
class C
classification may be hydrocarbons, alkyl halides, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones with >5 carbon atoms
Class D
ketones with (more than/less than) 5 carbon atoms belongs to group D
more than
A compound that is soluble in water and the pH paper indicates higher than pH 8 are
low MW amines
A compound that is soluble in water and the pH paper indicates lower than pH 5 are
Lower MW carboxylic acids
A compound that is soluble in water and the pH paper indicates a pH of 5-8
Lower MW neutral compounds
identify the compound:
water - insoluble
2.5 M NaOH (5% Sodium Hydroxide) - soluble
0.6 M NaHCO3 (5% Sodium Bicarbonate) - soluble
carboxylic acids
some phenols
identify the compound:
