24
Q

if protons are more shielded, what kind of shift do they experience

A

upfield (right)

25
if protons are deshielded what kind of shift do they experience
downfield (L)
26
trend for deshielding
the closer the hydrogens are to an EWG, the more deshielded they will be
27
aromatic ring shift
about 6.0-8.5
28
COOH shift
10-11
29
splitting
n + 1 rule - peak will split into number of smaller peaks equal to the number of adjacent hydrogen atoms + 1
30
a carbon with 2 hydrogens and a neighboring carbon with 3 hydrogens would have what kind of peak
a quadruplet
31
carbon NMR
all peaks are singlets - equvalent c atoms are a single peak
32
UV-vis spectroscopy
analyzes absorbance of UV light by organic compounds - higher frequency than visible light
33
wavelength of visible light
400 to 700 nm
34
what kind of molecules tend to absorb UV light
aromatic compounds with conjugated pi systems - aromatic amino acids
35
mass spectroscopy
identifying unknown organic compounds by injecting them into a mass spectrometer and high E electrons cause the sample to ionize and become charged - mass and charge of fragments are plotted on a mass spectrum x axis - mass to charge ration y axis is abundance - largest peak is the base peak which is most abundant fragmemt and gives info about funcitonal group
36
distillation
seperate liquid from liquid by utilizing differences in the liquids BPs to ensure purity must do repeated distillations
37
which liquid will leave the flask first in simple distillation
the one with the lower BP
38
fractionating column
difference between simple and fractional distillatiom - not included in somple
39
simple distillation
seperation of two liquids with very different boiling points - at least 25 C apart
40
simple distillation
seperation of two liquids with very different boiling points - at least 25 C apart - no fractioning column
41
fractional distillation
seperate liquids with similar bps (less than 25 C)
42
vaccum distillation
- when bp reach 400 c, cannot raise the tempretaure, must decrease the atmospheric pressure to meet vapor p
43
boiling pt
temperature at which vapor pressure is equal to atosopheric pressure
44
liquid- liquid extraction
seperate liquids based on solubitility in organic or aqueous media using a seperatory funnel - require 2 immiscible liquids - should be conducted several times to purify
45
chromatography
seperation technique with a mobile phase and a stationary phase
46
Thin Layer chromatography
stationary phase : polar mobile phase : non polar - nonpolar molecules move farther and have a larger RF
47
do polar molecules in TLC have a high or low RF
retention factor low because doesn't move
48
retention factor RF
distance traveled by the molecule compared to the total distance the solvent travels 0< RF < 1 - RF closer to 1 means non polar RF closer to 0 means polar
49
column chromatography
isolates and purifies stationary phase: solid mobile phase liquid
50
size exclusion chromotography
omit larger molecules first, smaller molecules remain in the column stationary phase: gel beads that trap small molecules
51
cation exchange chromotography
want to keep cations in the column, anions are eluted - anions are lined within the column to attract cations `
52
anion exchange chromotography
want anions to remain in the stationary colimn - cations eluted - cations line the column
53
affinity chromotography
seperate molecules based on ligands and affinity for them stationary column lined with ligands and keep molecules that bind, elute the ones that dont q
54
gas liquid chromotography
only technique that involves a gas mobile stage stationary phase coated in liquid - time taken to move through denotes affinity for gases and liquids - longer time to elute = stronger affinity for liquid - quicker time to elute = stronger gas affinity
55
high performance liquid chromotography
liquid mobile phase and absorbant column - differentiation: high pressure so resolution is more rapid - stationary phase: polar - mobile phase: liquid nonpolar
56
requirement for gas chromotography
need a substance that can easily be forced into gas phase , one that does not vaporize below 700C is a bad choice
57
reverse phase - high performance liquid chromotography
reverse phases of HPLC and TLC mobile phase: polar stationary: nonpolar
58
recrystallization
solid percipitates out of solution and do over several times to purify - in solvent that crystal is highly siluble in at high temp - insolible at low temp
