These questions are from an experiment where we had a mixture of Ferrocene, acetylferrocene and diacetyl ferrocene and we separa

ted each by using column chromatography. Before doing the column chromatography we did TLC analysis to ensure that we did, in fact, have a mixture of these 3 compounds.
During the column chromatography we first eluted the ferrocene using pure hexane. Then we eluted the acetylferrocene using a 1:1 mixture of hexane and methylene chloride. Then we eluted the diacetylferrocene using a 9:1 mixture of hexane and methylene chloride.

1. Rank ferrocene, acetylferrocene, and diacetylferrocene in order of increasing polarity. Do the TLC results from your fractions support this ranking? Explain.

2. Rank the solvents used in the experiment in order of increasing polarity.

3. Why do you start with the least polar solvent/solvent mixture and progress to increasing polar solvent/solvent mixtures when eluting the ferrocene compounds from the column rather than starting with more polar solvent system and progressing to less polar solvents?

4. How do the thin layer and column chromatography for this experiment compare in regard to stationary and mobile phases?

5. What key feature in the IR spectrum of acetylferrocene distinguishes it from the spectrum of ferrocene?

Answer:

Explanation:

The polarity of the 3 compounds would be in the order of

Ferrocene < Acetylferrocene < Diacetylferrocene

Your TLC data has to also support this observation . This can be checked by measuring the values of Rf ( Retention factor = distance travelled by solute/solvent ) .The Rf values also has to follow this particular order: -

Ferrocene > acetylferrocene > diacetylferrocene

2) Hexane happens to be a non-polar solvent. The polarity of hexane can be increased if some polar solvents for example, ethyl and methylene chloride etc are added

Therefore, in the increasing order of solvents polarity, we have

Hexane < 1:1 mixture of hexane: methylene chloride < 9:1 mixture of methylene chloride:

3) Chromatographic techniques all have a stationary phase in addition to a mobile phase. In the case of column chromatography, the silica gel will be the stationary phase and the solvent that will be poured will be the mobile phase.

4) The TLC and column chromatography both happen to have the same stationary phase which is the silica gel. Also, the same solvent mixture is used in both the techniques. This makes the result of the 2 to be almost the same. The difference seen between them is that, TLC works against the gravity while on the other hand column chromatography works in the direction of the gravity.

5) The key feature in the IR spectra of the acetylferrocene that will be absent in the spectra of ferrocene is the presence of carbonyl stretching frequency at close to 1700 per cm(cm-1). This peak is easily differentiated between both acetyl ferrocene and ferrocene.

Is the method for converting molecules to moles the same as that for atoms?
arlik [135]

Answer:

One mole is the Avogadro's number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions or electrons) in a substance. Converting to moles is fairly easy because the conversion is always the same.

You wish to make a 0.285 M hydroiodic acid solution from a stock solution of 12.0 M hydroiodic acid. How much concentrated acid
Inessa05 [86]

The amount, in mL, of the concentrated acid required, would be 1.1875 mL

<h3>Dilution</h3>

From the dilution equation:

m1v1=m2v2 where m1 and m2 = molarity before and after dilution, and v1 and v2 = volume before and after dilution.

m2 = 0.285M, m1 = 12.0M v2 = 50.0 mL

v1 = m2v2/m1 = 0.285x50/12 = 1.1875 mL

Thus, 1.1875 mL of the acid would be taken and diluted with water up to the 50 mL mark.

The decomposition of N2O4 into NO2 has Kp = 2. Some N2O4 is placed into an empty container, and the partial pressure of NO2 at e
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Expression for the given decomposition reaction is as follows.

           N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Let us assume that x concentration of N_{2}O_{4} is present at the initial stage. Therefore, according to the ICE table,

                    N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Initial :               x                   0

Change :       - 0.1        2 \times 0.1

Equilibrium : (x - 0.1)             0.2

Now, expression for K_{p} of this reaction is as follows.

     K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

          K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

                 2 = \frac{(0.2)^{2}}{(x - 0.1)}

                2 \times (x - 0.1) = (0.2)^{2}

                            x = 0.12

This means that P_{N_{2}O_{4}} = x = 0.12 atm.

Thus, we can conclude that the initial pressure in the container prior to decomposition is 0.12 atm.
