Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The result of the use of a large quantity of petroleum ether alone as an eluent in either experiment 1 or 2 should be determined.

Concept introduction:

A separation technique used for the segregation of components of chemical mixture based on the difference between the adsorptionof different components in stationary and mobile phase is called column chromatography.

It is used for purification or segregation of compounds. It consists of two phases namely:

  1. Stationary phase (solid)
  2. Mobile phase (generally liquid)

Silica gel is commonly used as the stationary phase.

Elution is the process of extraction of one component from another with the help of the solvent. Eluent is the carrier part of mobile phase. Eluate is the material that comes up through the chromatogram.

Calculate the Initial Concentration, in units of Molarity, for each reagent used in each of the three trials in this experiment.
In addition to a low boiling point and immiscibility with water, why is density important to consider in the selection of an extraction solvent? Would an organic liquid with a density of 1.006 g/mL make a good extraction solvent? Explain.Write the chemical reaction that took place during this experiment.
If you were to monitor the reaction mechanism for the hydroboration by TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography), would you expect the starting material (1-octene) or the product (1-octanol) to have a lower Rf? Please explain your answer, being sure to mention important intermolecular forces. Why does the hydroboration part of the reaction have to be performed in anhydrous conditions?
