Introduction
Welcome to Organic Chemistry 350s Laboratory Report Workbook

This report book, along with the 'Chemistry 350 Lab Manual', will help you prepare for a single weekend (~20h), or 3-4 days straight (~24-32h) of supervised lab instruction. All preparatory work in this report book (~12 h to finish, see list on page 3), may be completed and submitted to the Chemistry Lab Co-ordinator / Instructor prior to attending the labs, or just before the start of the Friday evening lab session. In order to successfully complete the laboratory component, please be aware of the following 4 step process of instruction. It is the intention of this CHEM350 Report book to provide you with the means of completing all four steps. Step 1: First we tell you what you are going to do. Find out by reading the lab manual, doing the pre-lab questions in this report book, and filling out the Table of Reagents etc., i.e., preparing for the labs at home. (By doing so you are able to work more efficiently in the lab and the over-all time spent in the supervised lab can be reduced to ~20 hours from the usually 32 hours.)
Step 2: Next we show you how to do it. When you come to the lab, a lab instructor will give a safety orientation, followed by a series of mini lab lectures on each experiment. Various techniques will be demonstrated and you will be shown how to handle chemicals, dispose of hazardous waste, and operate the equipment.
Introduction
Step 3: Lab Time: Now you do what you've read, been told, and shown. This is the time you spend in the lab performing your experiments, making your products, and recording your results in this report workbook.
Step 4: Finally, you tell us what you did. This is the report writing stage. Actually most of your reports will have been written while in the lab. At home you will only have to do your calculations, write your discussion and conclusion and answer the questions at the end of each experiment.
Introduction
Report Book Structure and How to Prepare for the Labs:

This CHEM350 Report Book is to be used in conjunction with the CHEM350 Organic Chemistry I Lab Manual. It consists of an Introduction, Experiment Report Forms, Table of Reagents and a Course Evaluation. The reports are to be completed one month after of the lab session you attended.

Which statement best explains how distillation purifies a compound? a. Distillation is used to concentrate a desired compound by removing undesired impurity vapours. b. Assuming that the impurity has a higher boiling point (must be greater than 25-30 C different than the solvent), the desired solvent can be separated by heating it to its vapour phase and then collecting the pure vapours in a receiver flask. c. Distillation involves heating a liquid to its boiling point, at atmospheric or reduced pressure, to convert it to its vapour, and then condensing the vapour back into a liquid by cooling with a condenser and collecting the condensate in a receiving flask. d. Distillation involves heating a liquid to its boiling point to convert it to its vapour, and then converting the vapour back to liquid by icing the receiver flask. The various heat sources available for a distillation, and when it is appropriate to use each heat source are: i. Bunsen burner (used only for aqueous non-flammable high boiling point (bp) solvents). ii. heating mantle (can be used for flammable solvents with bp up to 150 C). iii. steam bath (can be used for flammable solvents up to 85 C) iv. hot plate plus flat bottom dish/water bath (for low bp flammable solvents) a. True b. False Boiling stones must be added to the distillation flask prior to heating. Why? a. In order to prevent the solution from 'bumping'. b.

Answers to be submitted with report. 1. When extracting an organic compound from an aqueous solution into an organic solvent, e.g., diethyl ether, a chemist will sometimes add sodium chloride to the aqueous solution. What is the purpose of such an addition, and what is the procedure called?

A CHEM350 student was working on her yield determination of her recrystallized p-aminobenzoic acid, when some naphthalene was inadvertently spilt into her crystals. You happen along the scene, and offer the following advice to the distraught student: a) Redissolve all the solid in dichloromethane, extract with dilute aqueous acid, , re-isolate the organic compound by precipitating the salt of the base with strong base, and recrystallize your paminobenzoic acid again. b) Redissolve all the solid in dichloromethane, extract with dilute aqueous base, re-isolate the organic compound by precipitating the salt of the acid with strong acid and recrystallize paminobenzoic acid again. c) Do either a or b. d) Discard everything into the hazardous waste container. Nothing can be done.
4.
When an aqueous solution of an organic compound is shaken with an immiscible organic solvent, such as diethyl ether, the solute distributes itself between the two phases. When the two phases separate into two distinct layers, an equilibrium will have been established such that the ratio of the concentrations of the solute in each solvent defines a constant, K, called the distribution coefficient (or partition coefficient). K= concentration of solute in solvent A, e.g., diethyl ether (g . L-1) concentration of solute in solvent B, e.g., water (g . L-1)
The distribution coefficient for compound X in the diethyl ether/water system is 3.0. If you were given a solution containing 8.0 g of X in 500 mL of water, and wanted to extract compound X into diethyl ether, show that it would be more effective to extract X using three 50 mL aliquots of diethyl ether rather than a single 150 mL aliquot. (HINT: Determine how much of X would remain in the aqueous solution in each case.)

The measured optical activity of a solid compound is affected by three major factors. They are: a. concentration and temperature of the solution, and length of sample tube. b. size of the molecule, natural source of chemical, and solubility. c. density and temperature of compound, and length of sample tube. If 0.8000 g compound was dissolved in 50.00 mL of solvent, and the solution was placed in a 2 dm long sample tube, and gave an (observed rotation) of +3.2 degrees, the specific rotation would be: a) +50 b) +100 c) +1000 During the solid-liquid extraction of the lichen with acetone, the lab manual (Exp. 7 Procedure Part A of lab manual) suggests we extract for 30 minutes. What would happen if the extraction went longer than 30 minutes? a. The usnic acid being leached out of the lichen would begin to denature. b. Nothing. A maximum amount of usnic acid has been extracted and further extraction time does no harm. c. The extraction solvent, acetone, will begin to evaporate and thereby diminish the overall yield of usnic acid. d. The experiment will have to be terminated because there will now be insufficient time to complete it. Why is all the acetone extraction solvent removed prior to beginning the recrystallization part of the procedure? a. So that a saturated solution can be made using reagent grade acetone. b. The acetone must be removed in order to isolate and characterize the crude usnic acid. c. Acetone is not a suitable recrystallization solvent. d. Tetrahydrofuran and acetone are miscible solvents so acetone must be removed prior to using the polarimeter.
