contaminate environment by releasing, but are aquatically toxic. Synthesis:- The methylimidazolium and pyridinium ions have proven to be good starting points for the development of ionic liquids. Properties, such as melting point, viscosity, and solubility of starting materials and other solvents, are determined by the substituents on the organic component and by the counter ion. Many ionic liquids have even been developed for specific synthetic problems. For this reason, ionic liquids…
Intermolecular Forces Intermolecular forces are the result of attractive or repulsive forces between atoms, molecules or ions, primarily as a result of electrostatic attractions; these forces act between discrete molecules. Intermolecular forces are weak forces but without them life as we know it would not be possible: water vapor would not condense into its liquid (or solid forms) if its molecules did not attract each other, and all matter, in fact, would exist as gases. The physical states…
According to R.A Aitken, “An asymmetric synthesis may be defined as a synthesis in which an achiral unit is an ensemble of substrate molecules is converted to a chiral unit such that the possible stereoisomers are formed in unequal amounts.” It relates to any synthetic process that incorporates one or more new elements of chirality during a functional group transformation. Asymmetric synthesis involves the formation of chiral molecules. An object is said to be chiral, if it cannot be…
first requirement is that the sample must contain electrically charged particles. The second requirement is that the electrically charged particles must be able to freely move when electricity is applied to them. Faraday named these “charge carriers” ions. Faraday also introduced the terms cation and anion to distinguish the…
The goal of this laboratory experiment was to determine the identity of an unknown ionic compound, unknown sample 3, through the substance’s chemical properties and reactivity. This compound was discovered in a landfill and we needed to know as much information as we can about how the chemical will behave in different situations so that the city will not be negatively affected by the chemical.2 Thus, we first needed to identify the unknown substance, determine some of its chemical properties and…
weight classify these atoms as isotopes of the element Hydrogen. An ion is an atom with a charge due to changes in the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) in the atom. Ions that have lost electrons have a positive charge, and are called cations. Ions that have gained electrons have a negative charge, and are known as anions. Examples of…
apart into ions. Just because it dissolves in water does not make it solely polar covalent, but since it has a relatively low conductivity, 534 mS/cm in the 0-20000 range, then it most likely is polar covalent. This is further confirmed with the fact that it does not react with NaOH, NaCl, or AgNO3, all ionic substances. The red dye does not react with NaOH since there was no color change when added, and the conductivity simple rose as the NaOH was added, due to the fact the excess ions were…
Cl- has the common ion sources of HCl and CaCl2 in test tubes C and D. Le Chatelier’s Principle explains that adding Cl- as a reactant will shift the equilibrium to the right to produce more product from the added reactant in test tubes C and D. When adding acetone…
Conclusion: The the precipitation reactions lab eight out of the fourteen occurring reactions were precipitates. A precipitate means that a solid substance was formed or a substance that is not aqueous was formed. The reactions that did not form a precipitate were DNR, which means that they did not react. At station one barium chloride and potassium nitrate did not react but barium chloride and silver nitrate reacted to form barium nitrate and silver chloride. The precipitate at station one was…
thermal energy to move electrons up a level 4("Metal Ion Flame Test Colours Chart," 2014). When these excited electrons return back to the stable, ground state, a photon is produced, and based on the wavelength of the photon, a different color will be produced when the compound is burned 3(Gilbert, Kirss, Foster, & Davies, 2014). The test of the unknown compound produced an orange color. An orange color shows the presence of sodium ions 4("Metal Ion Flame Test Colours Chart," 2014). But the…
