Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Among low flammability, low toxicity, high boiling point and water solubility the one that attributes of more benign solvent should be determined
Concept introduction:
Solvents play an essential role in chemical processes not only to put reactants in contact with dissolution but also sometimes cause hazardous explosions. The
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1Q
Low toxicity and low flammability are the attributes of the benign solvent.
Explanation of Solution
The characteristics of the benign solvent are as follows:
- A solvent that has a low flash point should not be used for chemical reactions because the solvents with a low flash point or high-flammability are prone to ignition at normal conditions. Therefore, the flammability of the solvent should be high.
- The high toxicity of the solvent can cause many health problems and may lead to unconsciousness. Therefore, the solvent should be of low toxicity.
- The high boiling point cannot be considered as the characteristic property because some best benign solvent has a moderate boiling point.
- Water solubility cannot be considered as the characteristic property of the benign solvent as it varies.

1) The isoamyl acetate report requires eight paragraphs - four for comparison of isoamyl alcohol and isoamyl acetate (one paragraph each devoted to MS, HNMR, CNMR and IR) and four for comparison of acetic acid and isoamyl acetate ((one paragraph each devoted to MS, HNMR, CNMR and IR.
2) For MS, the differing masses of molecular ions are a popular starting point. Including a unique fragmentation is important, too.
3) For HNMR, CNMR and IR state the peaks that are different and what makes them different (usually the presence or absence of certain groups). See if you can find two differences (in each set of IR, HNMR and CNMR spectra) due to the presence or absence of a functional group. Include peak locations. Alternatively, you can state a shift of a peak due to a change near a given functional group. Including peak locations for shifted peaks, as well as what these peaks are due to. Ideally, your focus should be on not just identifying the differences but explaining them in terms of…
