Q

What happens if a proton is close to an electronegative atom?

A

It will have its electron density withdrawn or deshielded. Peak will be futher downfield (to the left)

Q

When evaluating splitting patterns

A

Neighboring protons will create singlets, doublets, and so on. Each resonance is split into (n +1) peaks n = # of neighboring protons.

17
Q

How to calculate the degrees of unsaturation in molecules with heteroatoms

29
Q

Chromatography separates substances on the basis of differing:

A

Polarity

30
Q

The (blank) polar a substance, the more (blank) it will travel up a TLC plate.

A

More; Slowly

31
Q

Rf value must be between what values?

A

0;1

32
Q

Extraction separates liquids on the basis of differing:

A

Solubility

33
Q

Which substance would be most useful in separating benzoic acid and napththalene?

A

acqueous base like NaHCO3

34
Q

In Gas Chromatograhy, what factors cause a lower retention time?

A

Lower BP
Lower solubility
Hotter column

35
Q

Distillation separates liquids on a basis differing in:

A

Boiling points

36
Q

After recrystallization, melting point analysis can be performed. How do you know you have a pure substance based on melting values?

A

Narrow range clsoe to tabulated value.

37
Q

What kind of solvent is ideal for recrystallization?

A

Low solubility at room temperature and high solubility at high temperatures. Impurity should have high solubility at room temperature or insolubility at high temperature to remove while boiling

38
Q

What is Tollen’s test?

A

Mainly used to test for aldehydes. In the reaction, silver ammonia complex ions react with aldehydes to form solid silver and carboxylate ions. The indicator of a positive result is a silver layer along the inside of the test tube.
