Concept explainers
(a)
To draw: The reactions that took place and the product formed.
Interpretation: The reactions that took place are to be drawn and the product formed is to be shown.
Concept introduction: Mass spectroscopy provides a reliable molecular weight for an unknown compound and also gives information about the molecular formula.
Fragmentation gives the resonance stabilized cations whenever possible. Loss of a small molecule is usually indicated by a fragment peak having an even mass number corresponding to loss of an even mass number.
(b)
To determine: Whether the molecular ion is or is not visible in the mass spectrum and the ions which are likely to be responsible for the strong peaks at
Interpretation: Whether the molecular ion is or is not visible in the mass spectrum is to be explained and the ions which are likely to be responsible for the strong peaks at
Concept introduction: Mass spectroscopy provides a reliable molecular weight for an unknown compound and also gives us the information about the molecular formula as well.
Fragmentation gives the resonance stabilized cations whenever possible. Loss of a small molecule is usually indicated by a fragment peak with having an even mass number corresponding to the loss of an even mass number.

- What is the function of the sulfuric acid in the dehydration of alcohols to form alkenes? Why was it important to keep the Gas chromatograph close to room temperature during the analysis of the alkene mixture?arrow_forwardWhat would you do if you needed to remove partially dissolved water from dichloromethane separated from a water-DCM mixture?arrow_forwardThe melting point of crude p-nitroaniline was 147 ºC while the melting point of purified p-nitroaniline was 149 ºC. If the melting point of pure o-nitroaniline is close to 72 ºC. What can you tell about the purity of crude p-nitroaniline?arrow_forward
- If TLC is performed with 1:4 v/v ethyl acetate:hexane in a TLC chamber and the spots are 4-bromobenzaldehyde, diethyl benzylphosphonate, reaction mixture if wittig reation( 4-bromobenzaldehyde , diethyl benzylphosphonate and potassium etoxide), crude product of this Wittig reaction and purified product of wittig reaction. How will you predict the movement of the spots and thier Rf values. Include a brief explanation for your predictions.arrow_forwardDevelop a numbered procedure for the fischer esterification of butyric acid and ethanol including moles, grams, and volume used for all reactants and show how many grams you are expected to produce (show calculations). What will be the IR peaks expected?arrow_forwardYou suspect a given substance, unknown X, to be either pure acetaminophen (melting point = 169°C) or pure 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (melting point = 172°C). Subsequently, you perform a mixed melting point analysis by making the following three samples that yield the results below: · - Unknow X alone yielded a melting range of 165-169°C · - Unknown X mixed in a 50/50 ratio with acetaminophen yielded a melting range of 154-162°C · - Unknown X mixed in a 50/50 ratio with 1,4-dihydroxybenzene yielded a melting range of 169-172°C Given the data above, what is the identity of unknown X? (Multiple Choice: Only one answer is correct, and only one answer can be selected) A. 1,4-Dihydroxybenzene B.Neither acetaminophen or 1,4-dihydroxybenzene C. Acetaminophenarrow_forward
- WHAT FACTORS CAN AFFECT THE YIELD OF BENZOIN CONDENSATION? PROCEDURE To a six inch test tube was added thiamine hydrochloride (0.65 g), followed by water (2mL). The mixture was gently shaken until homogeneous, and then ethanol (7.5 mL)was added. Finally, sodium hydroxide (10%, 1.5 mL) was added and the mixture wasgently stirred to ensure complete mixing.Benzaldehyde (3.8 mL) was then added at room temperature in one portion with gentlestirring. The pH of the resulting reaction mixture was determined and adjusted to >10by dropwise addition of 10% sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture was then partiallysubmerged in a 65 °C water bath2 and the progress of the reaction was periodicallymonitored by TLC analysis.Once TLC analysis indicated that the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture wascooled to approximately room temperature, and then chilled in an ice-water bath. Theresulting precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration and air-dried. The crude productwas purified by…arrow_forwardWrite your own schematic diagram using UV -vis and your sample is indigo dye in DMSO solution and write what is the expected result?arrow_forwardHow can you use TLC to determine if a chemical reaction has gone to completion? For example, treatment of cyclohexanol in the presence of a non-nucleoplhilc acid, sulfuric acid gives the corresponding alkene, cyclohexene via an E1 reaction. Draw 3 examples of TLC plates: a) at the beginning of the reaction, b) during the reaction, and c) at the completion of the reaction. Explain what is shown on each plate. Hint: What are the dominant intermolecular interactions of cyclohexanol and cyclohexene?arrow_forward
- Compare the 13C NMR spectra of isoborneol and camphor. Explain which peaks can be used to determine whether the oxidation was successful. Propose a mechanism for this oxidation. To simplify the structures, use benzyl alcohol to draw the mechanism instead of isoborneol. Include the formation of any byproduct(s) in the mechanism.arrow_forwardHow can We use GC analysis to confirm the identity of the product?arrow_forwardA student attempted to prepare 1-chlorobutane by mixing 1-butanol with NaCl in acetone. Was the student succesful? Explain.arrow_forward
