Analysis of Oxygen-Bearing Organic Compound

2 BS Chemistry, College of Science, University of Santo Tomas
Espana, Manila Philippines 1015

Abstract An unknown sample was given along with five standards to test the presence of oxygen in the sample. The unknown sample underwent five different chemical analysis namely Dichromate test, Tollen’s test, Lucas test, DNPH test, and Iodoform test. Each test will determine if the unknown sample will have the same reaction as to the standards, showing the identity of the compound. The unknown can be aldehyde, ketone, primary (1o), secondary (2o), or tertiary (3o) alcohol.

1.0 A. Reagents
- Anhydrous ZnCl2 - 6M H2SO4
- 10% KI - 6M NaOH
- 10% K2Cr2O7 - conc. HCl
- DNPH reagent (potential carcinogen!) - unknown sample

B. Materials
- Small test tube - Hot Plate
- 250 mL beaker - Pasteur Pipettes

2.0 Procedures Chemical Analysis was done for each test (Dichromate, Tollen’s, Lucas, DNPH, and Iodoform). In Dichromate test, 8 drops of sample and standards was mixed in separate test tubes with 2 drops 10% K2Cr2O7 and 5 drops 6M H2SO4. Results were observed and recorded. In Tollen’s test, 2 mL freshly made Tollen’s reagent and 5 drops of sample was mixed and let set for 5 minutes. It was placed in a 70⁰C H2O bath for 5 minutes when no silver precipitate (ppt.) forms and results were recorded. In Lucas test, 5 drops of sample and 15 drops of conc. HCl and a corn grain amount of solid ZnCl2 were mixed. The test tube was shaken well and the appearance of turbidity was formed. In DNPH test, 5 drops of sample and 1 mL of EtOH and 1 mL DNPH was mixed and let sit for 15 minutes. It was placed in 70⁰C H2O bath for 15 minutes when no

    Eleven mystery test tubes labeled from K-1 to K-11 contained: 6M H2SO4, 6M NH3, 6M HCl, 6M NaOH, 1M NaCl, 1M Fe(NO3)3, 1M NiSO4, 1M AgNO3, 1M KSCN, 1M Ba(NO3)2, 1M Cu(NO3)2 respectively. The contents of the test tubes were determined by chemical experiments. Solution K-1 contained NiSO4 because when solution K-9, ammonia which was identified by its pungent odor, was added, an inky dark blue color was made. Iron (Fe (NO3)3) was determined to be in test tube K-2. KSCN was found in test tube K-11 since Fe (NO3)3 and KSCN makes a bloody color when mixed together. Flame tests were conducted in which K-8 burned green which identifies Cu(NO3)2, and the solution from test K-10 burned yellow orange which indicates NaCl. Solution from test tube K-5 turned red litmus paper to blue which indicates a strong base (NaOH). Solutions in test tubes K-4 and K-6 are both strong acids which turned blue litmus paper to blue. Silver nitrate (K-7) produces precipitate with both acids and Barium nitrate can only produce precipitate with H2SO4 and it remains clear in HCl, K-3 precipitated with K-4 but did nothing with K-6, which proves that K-4 is H2SO4 and K-6 is HCl.…

    Unknown A (Module 11A)

    The purpose of Module 11A was to test for the presence or absence of a particular set of functional groups through the use of wet chemical tests. In this manner, Unknown A which was a colorless solution, was first tested with 2,4-DNP which after mixing for a few seconds formed a bright yellow precipitate. Although this confirms the presence of either a ketone or aldehyde group, one simple chemical test does not completely specify the presence or absence of other functional groups. Therefore, a second test was made in order to test for the presence of alkyl halides (R-Br or R-I specifically). However, after the addition of alcoholic silver nitrate, AgNO3 (test #2) to a few drops of the unknown, the mixture remained colorless and no precipitate formed. Following this, the third test was performed in…

    The purpose of this laboratory was to determine how different substances have different solubilities in a given solvent. This was accomplished using the method of chromatography. The solubility of each substance was first determined by dropping a drop or two of each on a line drawn 2 inches above the bottom of a piece of paper. Then the paper was lightly bent in order to tape both sides of the paper leaving about a 4 centimeter gap so that the sides of the paper are not touching. The paper was then put into a beaker of a hydrochloric acid, ethanol, and butanol mixture, being sure that the paper does not touch the sides of the beaker, and then topped. After the eluting solution has risen to within two centimeters of the top of the filter paper, the paper was removed from the beaker, dried, and was stained with a staining reagent solution containing potassium ferrocyanide and potassium iodide. This reagent forms colored precipitates or reaction products with many cations, including all of those used in this experiment. The distance of which the spots moved were determined by calculating the Rf value of each substance. The Rf value is determined by following formula:…

    We demonstrated that there are a variety of tests that can be used to identify an unknown substance, however, if the list of substances was not available, identifying the unknown substances would have been much more difficult. We were able to identify each substance by comparing the data obtained with the data listed on the substance labels.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to separate and identify the two unknown compounds. The sample used was 105 and it contain 2-propanol and 2-heptanone. IR spectrums were taken of the contents of the second and sixth test tubes and showed the presence of an OH functional group and a small amount of ketone in test tube two and a large presence of ketone in test tube six. The average boiling points of the test tubes, 73°C and 162°C respectively, were compared to the boiling points in the tables of alcohols and ketones found in the back of the lab manual. Test tube two was comparable to methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol. Upon inspection of the IR spectrums, 2-propanol was a match.…
