Q

what evidence goes against the kekule model?

A

It says that there would be two different bond lengths from double and single bonds, but X-ray diffraction shows they are all the same length and between the two.
Infrared studies show that none of bonds are single or double as none of them absorb at the correct frequencies.
Also enthalpy

Q

What does enthalpy suggest about the structure of benzene?

A

Cyclohexene has one double bond and when hydrogenated enthalpy is -120.
The kekule model has 3 double bonds suggesting it would be -360 for benzene.
It is actually -208 suggesting more energy was used to brake the bonds, subtracting from that given when bonds where made.
Thus the delocalised model is more stable.

Q

How does SO3 react with benzene?

A

This O:⁻ will have an arrow going from it to a H attracted to the carbon ring and an arrow will go from the H bond to the gap in the circle with the +

Q

Why are halogen carriers needed?

A

An electrophile needs to have a very strong positive charge to react with the stable benzene. The halogen carrier acts as a catalyst to make them more polar.

37
Q

Why are methyl or methlyloxybenzene more reactive than benzene?

40
Q

Why does phenol react with bromine water?

A

One of the electron pairs in a p orbital of the oxygen atom overlaps with the delocalised ring of the benzene ring. This will increase the electron density at 2,4 and 6 positions on the ring. It is at these points where bromine will be added.

Q

What happens when a small amount of methylamine is added to copper sulphate?

A

The amine acts as a proton accepter and takes 2 H+ from the
[Cu(H₂O) ₆]²⁺ complex. The insoluble [Cu(H₂O)₄(OH)₂] will form and precipitate out to give a blue colour.

59
Q

What happens when more methylamine is added to copper sulphate?

A

the copper hydroxide precipitate dissolves to give a deep blue solution.
Methylamine molecules donate their lone pairs to give dative covalent bonds with the Cu²⁺ to give soluble
[Cu(CH₃NH₂)₄(H₂O)₂]²⁺ ions.
This set of reactions is the same for other amine molecules though the final product may be different as they can’t all fit around the copper

60
Q

What happens when amines react with acid chlorides?

A

A H atom of the amine is replaced with the acyl group (ROCl) to produce an N-substitiuted amide and HCl which will later to go on to react with the amine and give a salt.

61
Q

what is observered when an acid chloride is reacted with an amine?

A

A violent reaction happens, which gives solid, white mixture of the products.

62
Q

How does an amine react with a halgenolkane?

A

The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen will attack the sigma positive carbon to give a salt of the two. The negative halogen will then take a hydrogen away to give HX and a secondary amine

63
Q

How can paracetamol get formed?

A

Ethanoyl chloride reacts with p-aminophenol to give HCl and paracetamol

64
Q

What does the p in p-aminopheol mean?

A

A

An amide and HCl is formed. The HCl can then form an ammonium salt.

69
Q

How are aromatic amines formed?

A

A nitro compound like nitro benzene is reduced by heating with tin and conc HCl under reflux to give an ammonium salt.
Then sodium hydroxide is added to remove H+ ions from the salt giving an aromatic amine.

70
Q

What is the azo group?

A

-N=N-

71
Q

How are azo dyes made?

A

phenols and aromatic amines are reacted.

Normally two aromatic groups are joined as this gives a very stable molecule.

72

81
Q

How would you carry out paper chromatography to identify an unknown amino acid?

A

Draw near the bottom of filter paper and point a spot of acid on it. Put the bottom of the paper in solvent and as this rises it will take the acid with it and give another spot higher up.
To see these spots, spray with ninhydrin solution the Rf of the acid is the distance travelled by the spot divided by the solvent.

Hydrindantin reacts with ammonia and ninhydrin to give the purple pigment of Ruhemass’s purple.

84
Q

what do diazonium compounds contain?

A

-N⁺≡N. Diazonium salts aren’t stable so they have to be used straight after being formed.

85
Q

what is the basic principle behind making an azo dye?

A

Make a diazonium salt, which is then coupled to an aromatic compound that is susceptible to electrophilic attack, like a phenol.

86
Q

How might you make a diazonium salt to make an azo dye?

A

First make some nitrous acid. Has to be made in situ because it is unstable.
NaNO2 +HCl=HNO2 + NaCl
