    Study Notes

    Chem 2004 Post Lab Discussion 3

    • The discussion covers experiments 11-15

    Structural Effects on Solubility (Experiment 11)

    • Solubility is the amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature
    • Dissolution is the process of forming a homogeneous solution
    • Attractive forces are involved in dissolution: between solute particles, between solvent particles, and between solute and solvent particles
    • Energy is required to overcome the attractive forces
    • Energy is supplied by the formation of bonds between the solute and solvent
    • Solubility depends on the similarity of structures of solute and solvent ("Like dissolves like")
    • Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
    • Nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes
    • Solubility Charts provided (refer to page 5) illustrate different types of solutes and their solubility in various solvents (e.g., water, ether).

    Structural Effects on Reactivity (Experiment 12)

    • The rate of displacement of the hydroxyl group in alcohols varies with the structure of the alcohol
    • Reactivity order: primary < secondary < tertiary
    • The tert-butyl carbocation is most stable due to hyperconjugation, making the O-H bond in tert-butyl alcohol easiest to remove.
    • Ethyl alcohol (primary), isopropyl alcohol (secondary), and tert-butyl alcohol (tertiary) are mentioned as examples. (refer to pages 10, 11)

    Decarboxylation of Carboxylic Acids (Experiment 7)

    • Oxalic acid decarboxylates more easily than acetic acid, likely due to the presence of multiple carboxyl groups in oxalic acid.
    • Oxalic acid releases CO2 more readily with heat
    • Acetic acid requires more heat to release a CO2
    • Refer to page 12 for further details

    Reactivity of Pi Electrons Towards Oxidizing Agents (Experiment 13)

    • Benzene is inert since its pi electrons are evenly distributed
    • Naphthalene's two rings create steric hindrance, increasing reactivity towards oxidizing agents
    • Refer to page 13 for examples

    Hydrocarbons (Experiment 13)

    • Hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen
    • Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons (single bonds)
    • Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons (double bonds)
    • Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons (triple bonds)
    • Methane (CH4) is an alkane with properties including odorless, colorless, tasteless gas; lighter than air, nonpolar, and insoluble in water
    • Methane readily dissolves in non-polar solvents
    • Methane is inert (does not easily react) except in presence of halogens
    • Refer to pages 14, 15, 16, and 17

    Preparation of Methane Gas (Experiment 13)

    • Heating anhydrous sodium acetate and soda lime produces methane gas and sodium carbonate. (Refer to page 17)
    • CaO is a dehydrating agent.
    • The gas is collected via water displacement. (Refer to page 18 for diagram)

    Ethene or Ethylene (Experiment 13)

    • Ethene (ethylene) is an alkene found in coal gas and natural gas (page 19)
    • It is a colorless gas with a sweet, irritating odor and is insoluble in water.

    Preparation of Ethylene Gas (Experiment 13)

    • Dehydration of ethanol with sulfuric acid produces ethene (an elimination reaction involving removal/rearrangement of atoms)
    • Sulfuric acid is a dehydrating agent
    • The gas is collected via water displacement.

    Chemical Properties/Reactions (Experiment 13) (refer to page 22)

    • Flammability of methane and ethene (different flame colors due to level of saturation/unsaturation): Methane burns with a blue flame (complete combustion); ethene burns with a yellow-orange flame (incomplete combustion).
    • Reaction with bromine: Methane reacts via substitution (requires longer time); Ethene reacts via addition (faster, bromine decolorization is quicker).
    • Baeyer's Test: Methane does not react: ethene reacts quickly via addition with potassium permanganate/water
    • Refer to pages 22, 23, and 25 for further details

    Solubility of Alkanes (Experiment 13)

    • Kerosene and Paraffin are mixtures of alkanes
    • Alkanes are nonpolar and hence insoluble in polar solvents (water, ethyl alcohol),
    • They are soluble in nonpolar solvents
    • Refer to pages 26, 27

    Aldehydes and Ketones (Experiment 14)

    • Both have a carbonyl group (C=O)
    • Aldehydes have the carbonyl group at the end of the carbon chain; ketones have it within the chain.
    • Aldehydes typically have pungent odors; ketones often have pleasant odors
    • Both are liquids at room temperature
    • Aldehydes are more soluble than ketones in water compared to hydrocarbons, but lower in solubility compared to alcohols.

    Oxidation (Experiment 14)

    • Aldehydes are easily oxidized, ketones are not
    • Oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids (page 31)
    • Tests such as Tollen's test (silver mirror) and Fehling's test (brick-red precipitate), can be used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones

    Sample Reactions (Experiment 14) (refer to page 31-32)

    • Reactions involved oxidation and esterification (reaction of alcohol with carboxylic acid producing ester). Various examples of chemical names given

    Addition Reaction with Bisulfite (Experiment 14) (refer to page 34)

    • Test used for ketones
    • Forms white crystals

    Auto-oxidation of Benzaldehyde (Experiment 14) (refer to page 35)

    • Exposure to Oxygen in air results in formation of benzoic acid

    Carboxylic Acids and Acid Derivatives (Experiment 15)

    • Carboxylic acids possess a carboxyl group (COOH) making them highly polar.
    • Shorter chains are soluble in water
    • Most reactions involve nucleophilic substitutions, changing the carboxylic acid into an acid derivative

    Properties of Acid Derivatives (Experiment 15) (refer to page 38)

    • Reactivity decreases in the following order: acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, esters, amides
    • Acid chlorides can be reacted to produce less reactive derivatives
    • Amides are least reactive to forming other derivatives.

    Preparation of Acid Derivatives (Experiment 15) (refer to page 39)

    • Esterification is one method to create acid derivatives; reaction of alcohol with carboxylic acid gives esters, illustrated with Ethyl acetate/Ethyl ethanoate
    • Acids can also be prepared by reacting alcohols with acid halides

    Hydrolysis of Acid Derivatives (Experiment 15) (refer to page 40)

    • Hydrolysis uses water to break apart acid derivatives.
    • The acid derivatives are reverted back to the original acid.
