Q

describe gas liquid chromatography

A

similar to HPLC but gaseous sample

20
Q

conditions for gas liquid chrom.

A

same inert carrier gas
flow rate
stationary phase
temperature

21
Q

limitation of gas liquid chrom.

A

similar compounds will have similar retention times - new compounds wont have match

22
Q

how to find percentage composition of mixture by GLC

A

1/2 x base x height

23
Q

what is GLC used for

A

Testing steroids in athletes
Testing fuels used in racing
Analysing blood samples

24
Q

how does a GLC graph look like

A

recorder response/time

25
Q

purpose of NMR

A

Used to identify hydrogen atoms in different part of the molecule

26
Q

how does NMR work

A

nuclear spin from spinning proton produces two spin states
energy absorbed in NMR
can align with or against applied field

27
Q

why is TMS used as standard reference compound

A

inert volatile liquid
equivalent hydrogen atom environments
one sharp peak
12 protons in same environment = high frequency

28
Q

how to find -OH-/-NH- in NMR spectrum

A

Produce an NMR
Add D2O (doesn’t absorb electromagnetic spectrum, no protons) sample
Rerun NMR
Compare to find the peak that has disappeared = OH/NH peak

29
Q

why is -OH-/-NH- appear to be a single peak

A

reacts quickly with water

30
Q

reaction of -OH- with D2O

A

OH + D2O ⇌ -OD + HOD

31
Q

reaction of -NH-CO- and D2O

A

⇌ -ND-CO- + HOD

32
Q

what does low resolution NMR show

A

single peaks for different environment of hydrogen

33
Q

what does high resolution NMR show

A

cluster of peaks for each environment and neighbouring hydrogens

34
Q

how do find neighbouring hydrogens

A

splitting peaks -1

35
Q

what does height of peak show

A

number of hydrogen

36
Q

what does more down field peak show

A

closer to electronegative element

37
Q

describe carbon-13 NMR spectrometry

A

1% of carbons in compound will be carbon-13 instead of carbon-12
CDCl3 solvent used to prepare sample

38
Q

formula for double bonds

A

2n+2 -#H/2

39
Q

definition of mass spectrometry

A

Mass spectrometry of an element can be used to measure relative isotopic masses and their relative abundances = calculate relative atomic masses

40
Q

process of mass spectrometry

A

Sample is vaporised
Sample bombarded with high energy electrons
Breaks covalent bonds by fragmentation

41
Q

how are compounds fragmented

A

primary < secondary < tertiary

42
Q

where is the molecular mass found in mass spectrometry

A

last peak

43
Q

how to find number of carbons using [m+1] peak

A

(100/1.1) x ([M+1]+1)/M+

44
Q

percentage of [M+2] and [M] in Cl

A 
35Cl = 75%
37Cl = 25%
45
Q

percentage of [M+2] and [M] in Br

A 
79Br = 50%
81Br = 50%
46
Q

when there is two Cl/Br in compound

[M]:[M+2]:[M+4]

A

two Cl atoms: three peaks with 9:6:1 ratio

two Br atoms: three peaks with 1:2:1 ratio
