Card preview (24)
the elements that can be commonly found among organic compounds include
C - chlorine H - hydrogen O - oxygen N - nitrogen S - sulfur P - phosphorus Si - silicon F - fluorine Cl - chlorine Br - bromine I - iodine
• “systemic approach” that can give satisfactory results in identifying elements in organic compounds using qualitative chemical reagents
Qualitative Analysis
CO2 is detected by __________, while the H2O is detected by anhydrous cupric sulfate
lime water
approach with the use of organs/senses (except hearing)
organoleptic approach
upon heating, the carbon and hydrogen present in the organic compound are oxidized to ________________________
carbon dioxide and water
CO2 reacts with Ca(OH)2 forming
CaCO3 and H2O CO2 + Ca(OH)2 → CaCO3 + H2O
these elements must be converted first into inorganic ions before proceeding to qualitative analysis → done by fusing the organic compound with the __________
sodium metal
• qualitative chemical tests highly rely on “organoleptic approach” through observation of test results
Qualitative Analysis
REACTION WITH CUPRIC OXIDE • detected by strongly heating the said substance with _____________
cupric oxide (CuO)
CO2 is detected by lime water, while the H2O is detected by ______________________
anhydrous cupric sulfate
other elements such as “nitrogen, halogens, and sulfur” are “difficult to detect” in an organic compound → they __________ in solution and are “bonded covalently”
do not ionize
CO2 reacts with Ca(OH)2 forming CaCO3 and H2O, wherein the _____________________ due to the formation of precipitates (CaCO3)
clear solution becomes turbid
• H2O reacts with anhydrous CuSO4 forming CuSO4 * 5 H2O, wherein the _______________ (CuSO4 * 5 H2O)
white powder turns to blue
H2O reacts with anhydrous CuSO4 forming
CuSO4 * 5 H2O 5 H2O + CuSO4 → CuSO4 * 5 H2O
the alkaline solution obtained by extracting the fused mass in water is called _____________
sodium extract or Lassaigne’s extract
• the following reactions are created upon the fusion of the said elements with sodium metal: S + 2 Na → ?
Na2S ! aside from Lassaigne’s sodium fusion test, there are other applicable qualitative tests that can be used
• the following reactions are created upon the fusion of the said elements with sodium metal: C + N + Na →
NaCN
• the following reactions are created upon the fusion of the said elements with sodium metal: X (Cl, Br, I) + Na → ?
NaX (X = Cl, Br, I) sodium halide
SODA LIME TEST FOR AMIDE NITROGEN • if the organic compound is in the form of ___________________, heating it with _________ (NaOHand CaO) will liberate ________________ gas (characteristic pungent ammonia odor)
• amino nitrogen (–NH2) • soda lime • ammonia (NH3)
SODA LIME TEST FOR AMIDE NITROGEN • to confirm the presence of the said gas, a moist ________________________
red litmus paper must turn to blue
SODA LIME TEST FOR AMIDE NITROGEN • the reaction involved: urea + NaOH + CaO → ??
2 NH3 + Na2CO3 Note: urea + NaOH + CaO → 2 NH3 + Na2CO3
______________is limited to organic compounds with amino (–NH2) group only, nitro (-NO2) and azo (-N=N-) compounds cannot be detected by this test
soda lime test
soda lime test is limited to organic compounds with _____________ , nitro (-NO2) and azo (-N=N-) compounds cannot be detected by this test
= amino (–NH2) group only
Test for Halogens
• BEILSTEIN TEST • SILVER NITRATE TEST
