Isopropanol is a good extraction solvent for plant pigments as it breaks down cell walls and is miscible with pigments. Can you be sure that you only extracted chlorophyll-a from your spinach leaf? If not, what else might have been extracted?
3. (a) The optical rotation [a]20 of aqueous samples of pure a-D-glucose and 1 pure ß-D-glucose were measured over time and a graph plotted (below). The optical rotation of both samples tends towards the same value, +52.7, as time proceeds. Explain, with the use of a diagram, why this trend is observed. +112 [a] +52.7 +19 Time
How do we detect organic compounds and inorganic compounds used in GC analysis?
You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7. Include all formal charges, intermediates (if applicable) and products.
If 0.70 g of FeCl3 is used to iodinate 8.42 g of benzene with sufficient ICl, what is the average number of reactions that each FeCl3 molecule must catalyze?
You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.You find that methylphenidate is highly soluble in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, a bio-renewable solvent. Draw the structure of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and give two reasons why it is a good solvent choice for liquid-liquid extraction.
