EXPERIMENT 8

By Kite Alberto, Melinda Gatchalian, Eula Ildefonso

Ensure that a compound is pure by chromatography, distillation, extraction techniques

Once purity is established, physical properties (mp, bp, odor) are determined
For ultimate identification of our unknown compound, we must know the different elements present other than C-H. (Elemental Analysis)

We also conducted solubility tests using solvents like water, dilute acids etc and the results provide info regarding various functional groups that may or may not be present.
But this is not enough thats why the next and perhaps the most important step for the determination of the unknown compound is the determination of the functional groups present through many qualitative chemical tests. Every visible reaction is an indication of the presence of a particular type of functional group/s.

1. REACTION WITH BROMINE IN METHYLENE CHLORIDE

METHODOLOGY & RESULTS

What test/s could be used to differentiate saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons? Explain how the test could differentiate them. The decoloration of Bromine solution test and Baeyer test differentiate saturated from unsaturated hydrocarbons. In decoloration of bromine solution test, if the test compound is unsaturated, the orange-brown color of the aqueous bromine solution rapidly disappears. Bromine adds to each of carbon of the bond then the pi bond converts into a sigma bond and thus become saturated. In the permanganate test, an unsaturated compound reduces the purple permanganate ion (MnO4-), forming a precipitate of brown manganese (IV) oxide (manganese oxide, MnO2). As a result of this reaction, an OH group is added to each carbon at each end of a multiple bond. When this happens, the multiple bond becomes saturated.

3. IGNITION TEST

METHODOLOGY & RESULTS

Does toluene behave in the same way like the other unsaturated hydrocarbons? Why? In our case, we used xylene as a substitute for toluene. Xylene does not behave in the same way like other unsaturated hydrocarbons because of the presence of a benzene ring. This stable structure due to resonance is less reactive than the other saturated hydrocarbons. The shared electrons in the saturated bonds of the aromatic compound ring prevent aqueous bromine solution from reacting with them.

TEST FOR AROMATICITY

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

What is the role of concentrated sulfuric acid in the nitration of toluene? (We used xylene as a sample) Concentrated sulfuric acid acts as an electrophilic generator. It displaces weaker acids from their salts with nitric acid itself, sulfuric acid acts as both an acid and a dehydrating agent, forming nitronium ion, NO2+.

What test could be used to differentiate carboxylic acids from phenols? Explain how the test could differentiate them. The NaHCO3 test could be used. Carboxylic acids are soluble in sodium bicarbonate solution while phenols are not. A visible evolution of bubbles happens during the reaction of a carboxylic acid. Phenols do not. Ethanolic silver nitrate test could also be used. Carboxylic acids initiate the production of precipitate (silver carboxylate salt). Phenols do not.

4. SILVER ACETYLIDE TEST

METHODOLOGY & RESULTS

Tollen's reagent for the silver acetylide test should always be freshly prepared. Why? It is because Tollen's reagent when left standing decomposes and forms a highly explosive precipitate-silver fulminate, which is dangerous in laboratory experiment.

TEST FOR ACIDITY AND BASICITY

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

Explain why the terminal hydrogen in acetylene is acidic when in fact the electronegativity values of hydrogen and carbon are almost the same. Terminal alkynes are unusual hydrocarbons for they can be deprotonized using an appropriate base to generate carbanion. This is an acidic situation since terminal alkynes have an sp-hybridized orbital with 50% s character, meaning it is a highly electronegative orbital, the electron pair shared with H(terminal and directly attached to the unsaturation) is tightly held by the nucleus of C making it electrostatically stabilized. So, The H+ now, to relieve the tension can leave off the chain. Since this is a positive H, then terminal alkynes are acidic.

2. ALCOHOLIC AgNO3 TEST

METHODOLOGY & RESULTS

Why is the order of reactivity of the alkyl halides toward alcoholic silver nitrate 3o>2o >1o? Tertiary carbocations formed by the heterolysis of alkyl halide is more stable due to C-H hyperconjugation. The positive charge is distributed to a greater number of surrounding hydrogen atoms compared to the secondary and primary alkylhalides. The primary carbonium ion is the least stable since its positive charge is concentrated only to the carbon atom.

TEST FOR ALKYL HALIDES

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

In the silver nitrate test for halides, explain why alcohol is used as the solvent for silver nitrate and not water.
Water is not used as the solvent because it is highly polar, considering that the reaction proceeds with a hydrocarbon. Ethanol, having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic portion, can considerably dissolve the polar nitrate and the nonpolar alkyl chain. Alkylhalides AgBr and AgCl form precipitates insoluble in ethanol and provides indicator for the alkylhalide test.

3. HYDROXAMIC ACID TEST FOR ACID DERIVATIVES

METHODOLOGY & RESULTS

What property of alcohol is demonstrated in the reaction with Na metal? What is the formula of the gas liberated? The acidity of alcohol is demonstrated in the reaction w/ Na metal. The gas liberated is H2.

Dry test tube should be used in the reaction between the alcohols and the Na metal. Why? Because Na metal reacts with water that may cause ignition.

Why is the Lucas test not used for alcohols containing more than eight carbon atoms? The Lucas test applies only to alcohols soluble in the Lucas reagent (monofunctional alcohols with less than 6 carbons and some polyfunctional alcohols). The long chains of C-bond atoms act as non-polar makes the hydroxyl group less functional. This results in the insolubility of the alcohol in the reagent and would make the test ineffective. Explain why the order of reactivity of the alcohols toward Lucas reagent is 3>2>1. The reaction rate is much faster when the carbocation intermediate is more stabilized by a greater number of electron donating alkyl group bonded to the positive carbon atom.This means that the greater the alkyl groups present in a compound, the faster its reaction would be with the Lucas solution.

What functional group is responsible for the observed result in Millons test?
Hydroxyphenyl group or the phenolic OH Why is the Schiffs test considered a general test for aldehydes? This is because any aldehyde readily reacts with Schiffs reagent to form positive results.Schiffs reagent involves a bisulfite ion stuck in the original molecular structure. Aldehydes change this arrangement and thus there is a consequent change as the reaction progresses.

Why is it advantageous to use a strong acid catalyst in the reaction of aldehyde or ketone with 2,4-DNPH? It is because a strong acid when used as a catalyst reverses the sequence of reactions. In the presence of a relatively weaker acid, the strong nucleophile attacks the substrate then the electrophile follows suit.

Whereas in the presence of a strong acid, the strong hydronium ion is more ready for protonation to the oxygen of the carbonyl group. The weaker nucleophile (which thrives in basic medium) then attacks the carbon to stabilize the forming hemiacetal. Water abstracts the H+ and a hemiacetal is formed. Hemiacetals are relatively less stable products that will form acetals and will not show the visible changes that are expected of the test.

Show the mechanism for the reaction of acetaldehyde with the following reagents:
a. 2,4-DNPH

b. NaHSO3

What structural feature in a compound is required for a positive iodoform test? Will ethanol give a positive iodoform test? Why or why not?

Show the mechanisms for the iodoform reaction using acetaldehyde as the test sample.

What test will you use to differentiate each of the following pairs? Give also the visible result. a. acetaldehyde and acetone Schiffs test reaction with acetaldehyde will result to a purple solution. Acetone on the other hand will not react. Tollens test acetaldehyde will form a silver mirror. Acetone on the other hand will not have any reaction.

b. acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde BIsulfites test will differentiate an aliphatic aldehyde from an aromatic aldehyde. Aldehyde will react faster than benzaldehyde. Both will form a re precipitate due to cuprous oxide.
