Solubility Characteristics Between Organic Compounds

Solubility Characteristics Between Organic CompoundsObjectiveThe objective of this experiment is to study the relative solubility of constitutive(a) compounds in various upshots. Besides, considering on the effect of polar groups on a nonpolar hydrocarbon skeleton is the aim for the test.IntroductionThe purpose of this experiment is to explore and understand the solubility characteristics between organic compounds and their relative solvents. The structure of organic compound indicates its solubility, acidity, basicity, reactivity, stability and so on. All of these properties move be called as function and several(predicate) structure has different functions after reacting with solvents. It is important to know the solubility of reactant because it directly determines the recrystallization and reaction yields. In recrystallization process, an impure compound is dissolved into a highly backbreaking solution at a high temperature. The mixture was left to cool to open air to filte r out the insoluble impurities. After the further chilling of solution, the remaining amount of money of solute can no longer be held in solution forms, it leave alone be purified into crystals, which can later be collected. This process has use the concept of solubility. In short, insoluble of reactants in solvent indicates no reactions occur. In chemistry, there is a term in describing the solubility of polymer which is like dissolves like. The meaning is single substance is more likely to soluble in those solvents that atomic number 18 having similar properties. Polar compounds are generally soluble in other polar compounds non-polar compounds are generally soluble in other non-polar compounds. Same goes to molecules that can form total heat bonds, they are generally soluble with other molecules that can form hydrogen bonds. To prevent unnecessary test, structure of reactants should be observed whether they are like dissolves like to predict the solubility before handing on the procedures.Acid- stern extraction is a lineament of liquid-liquid extraction. Its basic concept is based on different solubility levels between organic solvent and water. In this case, the organic solvent may be either carbon-based liquid that have less solubility in H2O. The common use organic solvents are ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, or ether. Acid-base extraction is usually used to particularize organic compounds from each other based on their acid-base properties. The assumption leans against this method is that majority of the organic compounds are likely to dissolve in organic solvent than that in water. However, if the organic compound is rendered ionic, it is eventually having high solubility in water compared to organic solvent because rendered ionic has the ability to easily transform into ions. It can be ionized into cation by adding a proton or becomes an anion by removing a proton (an H+ ion). The fundamental theory behind this technique is that salts, which are ionic, tend to be water-soluble while neutral molecules tend not to be. If there is an addition of acid to a mixture of an organic base with organic solvent, the organic base depart receive a proton to become cation while acid remains unchanged. Conversely, an addition of base into acid mixture together with organic solvent, acid will be deprotonated and transforms into anion meanwhile basicity remains the equivalent. Both of these cation and anion will be dissolved in water and this aqueous layer can be eliminated after variety separation and the pure substance can be obtained.Ultravioletvisible spectroscopy defines an absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-visible spectral region. Its working theory is victimization infirm in the adjacent and visible (near UV and near infrared) ranges. The chemical indoors the electromagnetic spectrum region will absorb the light which affects the perceived colouring material of chemicals. At that moment, the light force will be use d by molecules to perform electronic transition. By going by Ultravioletvisible spectroscopy, the compositions of organic compound can be identified. Diagram1 shows the ability distribution of each orbital inside a chemical compound.Diagram1When UV light is passing through the compound, capacity will be absorbed to promote the electron from either non-bonding orbital into anti-bonding orbital or that from bonding orbital into anti-bonding orbital. The energy of UV light was stored inside its wavelength whereas different wavelengths associate different strength of energy. The relationship between energy and frequency of light can be shown in the equation belowIt shows the energy is directly proportional to frequency of light. Since UV spectroscopy is always giving the data of its wavelength instead of frequency. The relationship between frequency and wavelength needed to be considered. From attached equation, it proves that the lower the wavelength gives higher frequency since th ey are inversely proportionalIf large amount of energy needed to promote electrons, lower wavelength of UV light will be absorbed. Absorption spectrometer is only working in a range from about 200 nm (in the near ultra-violet) to about 800 nm (in the very(prenominal) near infra-red). Due to this case, when the electron is promoted from an orbital having weak energy (For example, pi bonding orbital has lower energy compared to non-bonding orbital), more energy is needed to financial aid in transferring the electron. The wavelength of light absorbed will be shorter than 200 nm. Now the detection of operative group in this situation is ambiguous because the absorption of light does not happen in range. Non-bonding orbital requires lone pair of electrons inside the organic compound which means it may be containing oxygen, nitrogen or a halogen. The wavelength like 180nm will be absorbed to promote electron from pi bonding orbital into pi anti-bonding orbital while 290nm of wavelength will be used for promoting electron from non-bonding orbital. 290nm of wavelength will be picked because the spectrometer works in the range of 200 800 nm. Organic compound with different functional groups have their unique electrons configuration. The energy and wavelength of UV light required is also distinct. However, these properties prove that each composition has its own particular reading of wavelength absorption. From this, the composition of one unknown compound could be identified by testing the Ultravioletvisible spectroscopy. Here is some example of compounds with their wavelength absorption.Example1Furthermore, Infra-red spectrum is also one of the methods used to identify the composition of organic compound. Diagram2 shows the apparatus of Infra-red spectrumDiagram2Detector will absorb the non-absorbed infra-red and produce a graph by its strength on different wavelengths. For example, if the sample absorbs 800cm-1 of infra-red, the remaining light that passing throu gh the sample will be lesser. Hence the graph will show a large trough at 800cm-1 of wavelength because detector received less amount of infra-red. This is the typical Infra-red spectrumFrom the example above, the trough at 3000+ cm-1 indicates there is absorption of infra-red by sample to excite bonds in the molecule to a higher state of shiver either stretching or bending. Observation on this trough can determine the functional group inside the organic sample because every functional group has their approximate range of infra-red absorption. The advantage of applying Infra-red spectrum is that it can detect the other smaller parts of differences between the molecules that having alike functional group. For example, both propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol contain same OH group as functional group. These can be shown in two graphs belowThey have almost the same troughs around the area at 3000 cm-1 which indicates the same functional group. However, the regions between 1500 and 500 cm-1 s hows the distinct in composition. This region is called fingerprint region. The pattern in the fingerprint region allows the user to evaluate the compound.
