Chemistry Laboratory III

(Practical)

 

CO36: Synthesize organic compounds and, purify them   using various solvents, including water, alcohol, and alcohol-water mixtures for crystallization.

CO37: Determine the melting points of organic compounds, and evaluate the effect of impurities on melting point. CO38: Apply distillation and capillary methods to determine the boiling points of liquid compounds.

CO39: Separate the components of a given mixture using paper and thin layer chromatography (TLC).

CO40: Compile and report the results efficiently, and develop communications skills.

CO41: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.

Approach in teaching:

Power point presentation, laboratory instructions and demonstrations.

 

 

Learning activities for the students:

Peer learning, hands-on-learning, interpretation of data, record

writing and learning through virtual labs.

 

Conduction of experiments, lab records, viva voce.

 

 

 

Unit I: 

Organic Synthesis

  • Acetylation of aniline using green approach
  • Bromination of acetanilide by conventional method/green approach
  • Nitration of acetanilide by conventional method
  •  S-Benzylisothiouronium salt of of benzoic acid and oxalic acid.

Purification of organic compounds

  • Crystallization of synthesized organic compounds using the following solvents: a. Water b. Alcohol c. Alcohol-Water         
  • Determination of the melting points of above compounds and unknown organic compounds (electrically heated melting point apparatus)             
  • Effect of impurities on the melting point: mixed melting point of two unknown organic compound.
  • Determination of boiling point of liquid compounds. (boiling point lower than and more than 100 °C by distillation and capillary method)

 

Chromatography

Theory: Classification, principle and working of Thin Layer and Paper chromatography.

Experiments:                                                                                 

  • Separation of a mixture of two amino acids by ascending and horizontal paper chromatography.
  • Separation of a mixture of two sugars by ascending paper chromatography.
  • Separation of a mixture of o-and p-nitrophenol or o-and p-aminophenol by thin layer chromatography (TLC)
