What happens when organic molecules are passed through a mass spectrometer
It detects both the whole molecule and fragments of the molecule
1 of 27
What will the peak with the highest mass/charge ratio be normally due to?
Original molecule that hasn't been fragmented (called molecular ion)
2 of 27
As the charge of the ion is +1 what is the mass/charge ratio equal to
Mr
3 of 27
Molecular ion formation eqn?
M= [M]+ +e-
4 of 27
What Is the molecular ion
Molecule with one electron knocked off (both an ion and a free radical)
5 of 27
What can high resolution mass spectrometry be used to determine?
Molecular formula of a compound from the accurate mass of molecular ion
6 of 27
What can it measure mass to?
5 d.p
7 of 27
What can this help differentiate between
Compound that appear to have similar Mr (to nearest whole number eg C=12
8 of 27
What happens if a compound contains a Chlorine or Bromine atom
Then 2 molecular ion peaks will occur- a M and a M+2 peak due to the 2 naturally occurring isotopes of Chlorine and Bromine
9 of 27
What do certain groups in a molecule absorb?
Infrared radiation at characteristic frequencies
10 of 27
What can be obtained that provide information about the types of bonds present in a molecule
Complicated spectra
11 of 27
Above 1500 cm^-1
Fg identification
12 of 27
Below 1500 cm^-1
Finger printing- complicated and contains many signals - picking out fg signals is difficult
13 of 27
What is this part of the spectrum?
Unique for every compound so used as 'finger print'
14 of 27
What will computer do
Compare IR spectra against data base of known pure compounds to identify the compound
15 of 27
What else can you use to detect presence/absence of bonds/fg?
IR absorption table
16 of 27
What do you use
Spectra to identify particular fg and impurities
17 of 27
What should you do where the absorption/trough is?
Quote wave number range from data sheet
18 of 27
What bonds absorption tends to be more broad?
O-H
19 of 27
What can occur and what are they an indicator of?
Rouge absorptions- impurities
20 of 27
What Is the absorption of IR radiation by bonds in this type of spectroscopy the same absorption as?
Bonds in CO2, Methane and water vapour in atmosphere do that maybe causing global warming
21 of 27
How
IR emitted by earth absorbed therefore warming earth
22 of 27
Test for Alkenes and results
Shake with Bromine water, Orange colour decolourises
23 of 27
Test for aldehyde?
Fehlings solution warm with=Blue solution turns to red precipitate, Tollens reagent warm with= Silver mirror formed
24 of 27
Test for primary and secondary alcohol
Warm with acidified potassium dichromate (sulphuric acid) and orange solution turns to green
25 of 27
Test for Haloalkane?
Warm with silver nitrate solution in ethanol. White precipitate=Cl, Cream=Br and Yellow=I
26 of 27
Carboxylic acid?
Add sodium carbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate= CO2 given off- effervescence- lime water cloudy. Add Mg= H gas produced squeaky pop with lit splint
