    Study Notes

    Alcohol and Carboxylic Acids

    • An indication of an esterification reaction: addition of alcohol results in the formation of fruity-smelling esters.
    • Ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH) reacts with sodium carbonate to produce sodium ethanoate, carbon dioxide, and water.
    • Reaction: 2CH₃COOH(aq) + Na₂CO₃(s) → (CH₃COO)₂Na(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l).
    • Ethanoic acid also reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate, yielding sodium ethanoate, carbon dioxide, and water.
    • Reaction: CH₃COOH(aq) + NaHCO₃(s) → CH₃COONa(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l).
    • Observations indicate an acid presence if bubbles of CO₂ form; lack of bubbles suggests it is not an acid.

    Chemical Tests for Functional Groups

    • Tests for double bonds (C=C): Bromine/Iodine test, adding H⁺ (aq)/MnO₄⁻ (aq) or H⁺ (aq)/Cr₂O₇²⁻ (aq) reacts with primary or secondary alcohols.
    • Hydroxyl Group: Addition of a reagent forms a smelly ester to confirm the presence of an alcohol.
    • Carboxyl Group: Adding a carbonate reagent leads to the evolution of bubbles, indicating acidic properties.

    Purity Analysis & Concentration

    • A pure substance melts at a consistent temperature; impurities lead to varied melting points.
    • In chromatography, the interaction depends on polarity: non-polar substances move slower on polar stationary phases.
    • High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) enhances efficiency with high pressures in separating components from mixtures.

    Stoichiometric Calculations

    • Concentration (c) is calculated as n/V, where n is moles and V is volume.
    • A non-polar solvent in HPLC separates components based on their retention times.
    • When calculating the concentration of dichromate involving multiple components, foundational concentration formulas are applied:
      • n = m/M (for moles from mass).
      • c = n/V (for concentration).

    Titration

    • In titration procedures, titre refers to the solution in the burette, and aliquot refers to the sample in the flask.
    • To find the mean titre, calculate the average from concordant titres.
    • Moles of potassium dichromate are derived from concentration and volume.
    • Final concentration calculations can apply to specific body analyses, such as ethanol concentration expressed in mol/100 mL.
