The boiling points for the compounds are 118 °C and 35 °C respectively. The solubility for both compounds is the same (8g/100g water). Explain this observation for (i) boiling point disparity; (ii) solubility similarity H-bonds form in diethyl ether; n-butyl alcohol forms H-bonds in water H-bonds form in n-butyl alcohol; diethyl ether forms H-bonds in water H-bonds in n-butyl alcohol; Both compounds form H-bonds in water O Both compounds form H-bonds; Both compounds form H-bonds in water
Isopropanol is a good extraction solvent for plant pigments as it breaks down cell walls and is miscible with pigments. Can you be sure that you only extracted chlorophyll-a from your spinach leaf? If not, what else might have been extracted?
Phenol reacts with three equivalents of bromine in CCl4 (in the dark) to give a product of formula C6H3OBr3. When thisproduct is added to bromine water, a yellow solid of molecular formula C6H2OBr4 precipitates out of the solution. The IRspectrum of the yellow precipitate shows a strong absorption (much like that of a quinone) around 1680 cm-1. Proposestructures for the two products
You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7. Include all formal charges, intermediates (if applicable) and products.

The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.You find that methylphenidate is highly soluble in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, a bio-renewable solvent. Draw the structure of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and give two reasons why it is a good solvent choice for liquid-liquid extraction.

(5) Hexanes and ethyl acetate are the two components used to modulate solvent composition. Draw the structures of these compounds using ChemDraw and paste here. Which of these is more polar and which of these is less polar? (6) Why is it called "hexanes" and not simply "hexane"?
Nitroethylene, HyC = CHNO, is a sensitive compound that must be prepared with great care. Attempted purification of nitroethylene by distillation often results in low recovery of product and a white coating on the inner walls of the distillation apparatus. Explain.

2. (a) The heat of combustion of liquid benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is -3393 kJ/mole, and that of liquid 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one (C₂H6O) is -3470 kJ/mole. Assume that both combustions result in products, CO2 and H₂O, that are entirely in the gas phase. Using the standard chemical equation for the combustion of a hydrocarbon, find the heats of formation (in kJ/mol) for both benzaldehyde and 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one in the liquid phase. (b) Consider the isomerization from 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one to benzaldehyde. What is the enthalpy change (in kJ/mol) for this reaction? Is it endothermic or exothermic? (c) If ArxnS = -18 J/mol-K for the isomerization reaction, find ArxnG at 350 K (in kJ/mol) and determine if it is spontaneous in the liquid phase at this temperature. For this calculation, you may assume that ArxnH and ArxnS are constant between 300 and 350 K.
