Q

Mobile phase in HPLC chromatography

A

Hexane (non-polar)

26
Q

How are the different components measured in HPLC chromatography

A

By the absorption of UV light measured

27
Q

What state are the substances being measured in HPLC chromatography

A

Liquids

28
Q

What does Gas and HPLC measure

A

The retention time- time taken to detect the separation of components

29
Q

What is the mobile phase in gas chromatography

A

Inert gas

30
Q

What is the stationary phase in gas chromatography

A

The solid/liquid coated in the inside of tube

31
Q

How those the stationary phase affect the retention time

A

The weaker the attraction to stationary phase the shorter the retention time

32
Q

What does C13 NMR measure

A

Number of different chemical environments

(Peaks show different groups the carbon are connected to)

33
Q

Physical properties of Carboxylic acids

A

High boiling point which increase with Mr
Soluble but this decreases as chain length increases

34
Q

Oxidation reaction to make -COOH

A

Primary alcohol or aldehyde + acidified potassium dichromate with acid catalyst under reflux -> -COOH

35
Q

What does the hydrolysis of Nitriles produce

A

-COOH + another compound

36
Q

Types of hydrolysis of nitriles

A

Acidic hydrolysis
Alkaline hydrolysis

37
Q

Describe acidic hydrolysis of nitriles

A

1 step
Nitrile + dilute acid (H+) + H2O under reflux -> -COOH + NH4+

38
Q

Describe alkaline hydrolysis of nitriles

A

2 steps
Nitrile + NaOH + H2O under reflux -> -COO-Na+ + NH3

Further -COO-Na + H+ -> -COOH

39
Q

Reducing COOH

A

COOH + LiAlH4 in dry ether -> primary alcohol

40
Q

Halogenation of -COOH

A

-COOH + PCL5 in anhydrous conditions -> -RCOCl +POCl3 + HCl which results in misty fumes

41
Q

Esterification of -COOH

A

-COOH + -OH (acid catalyst) -> ester + water

42
Q

Neutralisation of -COOH

A

-COOH + OH- (strong alkali) -> carboxylate salt + water

43
Q

Reduction of aldehydes

A

Aldehydes + LiAlH4 in dry ether -> primary alcohol

44
Q

Oxidation of aldehydes

A

Aldehyde + acidified potassium dichromate + conc. acid under reflux -> -COOH

This will produce a colour change from orange to green

45
Q

Reduction of ketones

A

Ketone + LiAlH4 in dry ether -> secondary alcohol

46
Q

Oxidation of ketones

A

Ketones are not easily oxidised

47
Q

Test to distinguish from ketones and aldehydes

A

Fehlings solution: Deep blue to red ppt
Tollens reagent: Colourless solution to silver mirror

48
Q

What does the triodomethane (iodoform) test for

A

CH3CO group
Present in ethanal and methyl ketones

49
Q

Iodoform test equation

A

Methyl ketone + iodoform in alkaline sol. -> CHI3 (pale yellow ppt)

50
Q

Conditions and product of nucleophilic addition of Carbonyls + HCN

A

Happens in alkaline solution containing KCN

Makes hydroxynitriles

51
Q

What is 2,4-DNPH used for

A

It is a test which through nucleophilic addition forms an orange ppt with carbonyl compounds

It’s derivatives ( chemicals produced) can be filtered, purified, dried and melting point determined

52
Q

What is Sn1

A

Nucleophilic substitution
Seen in tertiary halogenoalkanes
Has 2 steps
Has one species in RDS

53
Q

What is Sn2

A

Nucleophilic substitution
Seen in primary halogenoalkanes
With 1 step (has transition stage)
Has 2 species in its RDS

54
Q

What is the end-point of a titration

A

The colour change from the indicator which is past the equivalence point at an imbalance of acid or base

55
Q

What is the equivalence point in a titration

A

The exact proportions of acid and base in the titration

56
Q

Ph of equivalence point titration of strong acid + strong base

A

Ph=7

57
Q

Ph of equivalence point titration of strong acid + weak base

A

Ph= <7

58
Q

Ph of equivalence point titration of weak acid + strong base

A

> 7

59
Q

where can’t the equivalence point be determined

A

In the titration of weak acid with weak base because there is an absence of sharp decrease in the graph, only a point of inflection

60
Q

How do indicators work

A

Through dissociation

HI -><- I + H+
therefore when [H]=[In]
[H] = KIn

61
Q

What are buffer solutions made out of

A

Weak acid/ base and their conjugate base/ acid

62
Q

Assumptions made when calculating pH of buffer solutions

A

Remember to add up volume!

-dissociation is negligible
-conc of acid and salt is half when volume is doubled
