Nitration of Bromobenzene — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00today we're going to do the the two
- 0:02nitrations of bromobenzene both in the
- 0:04ortho and para position
- 0:06there's a couple of things we're going
- 0:07to pre-weigh right now and then we'll
- 0:08move over to the apparatus
- 0:10the one thing about the bromobenzene is
- 0:12it's a rather sick
- 0:14third surface type solvent and if you
- 0:18measure just two milliliters then try to
- 0:20pour it in you never actually know how
- 0:22much goes into your
- 0:23round bottom flask so we want higher
- 0:26precision then
- 0:27what we're going to do is measure
- 0:29actually how much goes into the round
- 0:31bottom
- 0:31so we're going to put approximately two
- 0:33milliliters into here
- 0:37that's not quite two we might go just a
- 0:39tiny bit over but
- 0:41we might just stay a little bit under
- 0:43having contrast issues
- 0:46okay we're at about two milliliters
- 0:48right there
- 0:49okay there we see so now we're going to
- 0:52weigh this again
- 0:54there it goes all right
- 0:58all right now what we will see when we
- 1:01add this when we wait a third time
- 1:03is that not all of the liquid will
- 1:05actually make it into our round bottom
- 1:07flask
- 1:08so while we're here
- 1:11let's weigh the final product container
- 1:13we're gonna
- 1:14put our final product on this watch
- 1:16glass this is
- 1:18um how we're gonna measure our yield at
- 1:20the end
- 1:21so i'm gonna weigh it
- 1:27and then we're going to move this one
- 1:29okay
- 1:32all right write it down okay so this is
- 1:35for the end of the experiment
- 1:37our final product will end up on this
- 1:39watch glass
- 1:40okay
- 1:43now let's move over to this side and
- 1:46we're going to switch cameras
- 1:49what we have to do first is add some
- 1:52sulfuric acid
- 1:53choose some nitric acid in our round
- 1:55bottom setup
- 1:57i have pre-made the setup i'll go
- 1:59through greasing the joints and it's
- 2:00okay
- 2:00we're at this set up i brought the
- 2:02bromobenzene over we're going to
- 2:04actually add him
- 2:05last so i'm going to set him to the side
- 2:07up front
- 2:09we have our apparatus that we're going
- 2:11to do the reflux in
- 2:12i haven't greasy the joints i'll show
- 2:14you that in a second
- 2:16what i want to do is mix the two key
- 2:19reagents the concentrated nitric acid
- 2:22and the concentrated sulfuric acid
- 2:24together
- 2:26if you've watched the video on
- 2:29what sulfuric acid does to sugar
- 2:32it's going to do the exact same thing to
- 2:34the nitric acid
- 2:36and because the reaction of dehydrating
- 2:39is still exothermic
- 2:41we have to start by adding the two
- 2:43reagents together in the ice bath
- 2:46so i have the ice bath now here we're
- 2:49gonna first
- 2:51i have six milliliters of concentrated
- 2:55nitric
- 2:55acid i'll show you the bottle it came
- 2:57from
- 2:59you see that okay
- 3:02we're gonna pour that in and let it cool
- 3:05off first
- 3:13[Music]
- 3:15and you're not going to be able to see
- 3:18much through
- 3:18the double glass of the ice bath but
- 3:21there's a little pool of nitric acid in
- 3:23the bottom of the
- 3:24round bottom flask okay now
- 3:29we have the concentrated sulfuric acid
- 3:32that's this game we poured out about 15
- 3:35milliliters
- 3:36we're supposed to slowly add it so it
- 3:39doesn't get
- 3:41doesn't become carried away
- 3:45and so it suggests added drop wise
- 3:50we're going to try that and we're going
- 3:51to watch to see if
- 3:54anything takes off inside seems to be
- 3:57holding pretty steady
- 4:02and as long as it stays cold
- 4:05we should be able to stop the reaction
- 4:07from taking off until we want it to
- 4:13so i'm kind of swirling the
- 4:17sulfuric acid around
- 4:20i'm going to do a gentle swirl
- 4:23the liquids very good
- 4:26i've added about five milliliters so far
- 4:37okay just stay nice and cold there
- 4:53sadly i'm wearing gloves today professor
- 4:56ormond made me
- 4:59first he's worried because both of these
- 5:02reagents
- 5:04will instantly react with your skin it's
- 5:06really cool what they will do to you
- 5:09which is still good uh it burns it
- 5:12itches
- 5:13it sometimes does bubbling and
- 5:15blistering
- 5:16there's a lot of cool things that these
- 5:18guys can do
- 5:19what's also interesting is this is a lab
- 5:22that spilled all over my clothes one day
- 5:26and completely dissolved my shoes away
- 5:32we had a student at the north vegas lab
- 5:34get concentrated nitric all over a shirt
- 5:36and
- 5:37the safety people came and made him take
- 5:39a shirt off in the back room
- 5:40and wash off under the shower it was
- 5:42pretty scary
- 5:45we had a grad colleague in my lab at
- 5:48grad school
- 5:49get completely covered in concentrated
- 5:51boiling hot sulfuric acid
- 5:54the blisters we threw that person
- 5:56immediately underneath the shower
- 5:59and they still had blisters all over
- 6:01their skin
- 6:02especially on their face so again
- 6:07these guys react way faster when they're
- 6:10hot
- 6:11than when they're cold please refer to
- 6:13the sugar
- 6:16experiment with sulfuric acid and you'll
- 6:18see just how exothermic this can
- 6:20become
- 6:23and so that's why we're extra careful
- 6:26today
- 6:28we're almost done adding the sulfuric
- 6:30acid
- 6:33do we get any color change when you mix
- 6:35them you shouldn't
- 6:38if you do you've added them a little too
- 6:42fast and they became a little bit warm
- 6:46it all depends on temperature
- 6:50okay the final squirts
- 6:55of sulfuric acid we're just about there
- 7:03so in this reaction the sulfuric acid
- 7:06actually has two roles to play one is
- 7:09obviously he's the proton donor to
- 7:11activate the nitric
- 7:13acid but another cool property is he's
- 7:16also a desiccator
- 7:17which is he sucks the water out of the
- 7:21system which is literally what he does
- 7:23in that sugar demo
- 7:26she sucks the water right out of the
- 7:28sugar okay
- 7:30we have carefully added the two chemical
- 7:33reagents
- 7:34we're now going to add the bromobenzene
- 7:38that we weighed earlier
- 7:40as i said before some of it's going to
- 7:42be stuck on the on the graduate cylinder
- 7:45and on the dropper that's why we weighed
- 7:46them all together
- 7:48we're going to take one more weight to
- 7:50see how much
- 7:51of our starting material actually enters
- 7:54into this round bottom
- 7:58so we're gonna very carefully drop this
- 8:01one in
- 8:04and it's going well i don't see any
- 8:06color changes
- 8:08this is all good
- 8:17okay so
- 8:21okay we've added as much bromobenzene as
- 8:25we can
- 8:26okay here's the graduate cylinder that
- 8:28had the bromobenzene in
- 8:30we added what we could we're now going
- 8:32to weigh this
- 8:34and whatever the difference is between
- 8:36the full and this
- 8:38will be the massive bromobenzene that
- 8:40actually went in the flask
- 8:42it'll be the mass of bromobenzene you
- 8:44need in your calculations
- 8:45for your theoretical yield there you go
- 8:48okay
- 8:48now that we've weighed our bromobenzene
- 8:51and we know exactly how much is in there
- 8:53we are going to grease all our joints
- 8:56this is our first
- 8:57lab greasing this semester i just want
- 8:59to make a comment on the proper way to
- 9:01grease
- 9:02and what you do is you use a minimum
- 9:05amount of grease
- 9:07and then when you put it in you spin it
- 9:09so i'm going to demonstrate
- 9:11first with the stopper
- 9:14that goes on the top tiny amount of
- 9:17grease
- 9:18just a little bit can you guys all see
- 9:19that i don't know if the contrast helps
- 9:22or not
- 9:23when you put it into the stopper
- 9:27when you spin it around it should make a
- 9:30clear circle all the way around which
- 9:32means we have
- 9:33an airtight seal and we need airtight
- 9:36seals today
- 9:37or your solvent will go around so i'm
- 9:39going to do the same with this joint
- 9:41and spin it all the way around
- 9:44make it a nice airtight seal so airtight
- 9:48seal here
- 9:49airtight so here we are now setting up
- 9:53a reflux condenser you guys should know
- 9:56that water always goes in the bottom and
- 9:58out the top
- 9:59another joint needs a tiny bit of grease
- 10:06grease just the top with just a tiny
- 10:08amount
- 10:09that's plenty and then the same thing
- 10:13spin it around now because the pipes are
- 10:15in the way i'll just go back and forth
- 10:17several times
- 10:22and i should have a nice clear joint
- 10:24there too
- 10:26okay the last piece we're going to
- 10:28grease
- 10:29is actually this adapter we've hooked it
- 10:32up to a hose
- 10:34that goes over to this funnel and in the
- 10:37solution we're going to put in some
- 10:39sodium hydroxide
- 10:41what will happen during this reaction is
- 10:43the brown gas
- 10:45uh nitrogen dioxide will come off and we
- 10:47want to quench it over in that beaker
- 10:50so one more greasing joint
- 10:53this will be our last one just a tiny
- 10:55bit of grease again
- 10:56everybody see how i just put a tiny
- 10:58mound on there
- 11:00we're going to spin it around
- 11:03back and forth until it's clear all the
- 11:06way around
- 11:07the entire joint
- 11:10okay i have created airtight
- 11:19i've created airtight grease joints
- 11:22but i want one i'm going to add a
- 11:24special clamp right here to make sure
- 11:26this part doesn't come apart
- 11:28okay the next step is to turn the water
- 11:31on
- 11:32so watch here i'm going to slowly add
- 11:34water we need it to run continuously
- 11:37cold water from the tap
- 11:39so it's running through
- 11:43i'm going to show you this from behind
- 11:45we're draining that's a pretty good
- 11:46rate we're going to keep that going down
- 11:48the drain
- 11:50i can now take away
- 11:54the ice bath
- 11:59and we're going to now place a round
- 12:02bottom flask
- 12:04as soon as i dry the water off
- 12:08it came out of the ice water
- 12:14okay so this is called a thermal well
- 12:19this one's specifically designed to fit
- 12:21perfectly around
- 12:23milliliter round bottom flask
- 12:29okay
- 12:36so i'm raising the thermal well so it
- 12:38goes up around the round bottom flash
- 12:42normally we would add a boiling stone
- 12:46we now have some boiling stones we only
- 12:49need
- 12:49one or two and sure enough in gloves i
- 12:53get about 20.
- 12:57don't blame the glove for everything i'm
- 12:58blaming the gloves for everything today
- 13:02okay i haven't turned the heat on yet
- 13:04i'm gonna
- 13:05refill that joint i'm going to set the
- 13:08entire apparatus
- 13:11down on the side very good i'm going to
- 13:14find if i can get one of these blowing
- 13:16stones
- 13:17i want one i went to that's plenty
- 13:23okay reseal all the joints
- 13:29again we need to have airtight seals
- 13:32on this slab that's imperative okay
- 13:35water running
- 13:37joint sealed only thing left
- 13:41is to pull some sodium hydroxide over
- 13:43the funnel area
- 13:45so we have some 10 sodium hydroxide
- 13:49we're going to pour it over the top of
- 13:50this funnel
- 13:53so that the bubbling has to go through
- 13:56that
- 13:58actually we're going to use it all
- 14:01and it's time to crank this to high
- 14:05so this is the rheostat that controls
- 14:07the thermal well
- 14:08we'll turn it on what we're going to be
- 14:11waiting to see
- 14:12is once this starts to heat up that
- 14:15brown gas will form
- 14:17we're going to let the reaction run
- 14:19until the brown gas is all gone
- 14:21that'll basically tell us our reaction
- 14:23is over
- 14:25and then we can go to the quench step
- 14:33last we're going to preheat some ethanol
- 14:36because that's our recrystallization
- 14:37solvent and we're going to need it to
- 14:40help clean out the glassware so
- 14:42what i'm going to do is i'm going to
- 14:44warm up
- 14:45about 50 milliliters i like to have my
- 14:49dropper in there
- 14:50and we're going to raise the temperature
- 14:53to about 100 degrees
- 14:55because we just want it warm pure
- 14:58ethanol which is what this
- 14:59is boils around 92 here in las vegas
- 15:03so 100 degrees should be barely boiling
- 15:10it's
- 15:12it should be denatured um it's not drink
- 15:15drinkable
- 15:16if the denatured alcohol means they
- 15:17added some methanol to it so you won't
- 15:19drink it
- 15:20just a little bit drinking methanol very
- 15:23bad
- 15:24so cut we're now as you can see we're
- 15:26going to watch the brown gas
- 15:41it looks like our brown gas is all gone
- 15:45so we're now ready to stop the reaction
- 15:47and quench it
- 15:49first thing i need to do is take away
- 15:51the heat
- 15:52so i'm going to literally
- 15:55lower the thermal well away
- 16:01and when i can just drop it to the back
- 16:04and that'll allow the finals of the
- 16:07liquid to stop dripping
- 16:09and go back in okay
- 16:13now the quench step
- 16:18involves basically just diluting the
- 16:21strong acids that are inside the mixture
- 16:24we're going to use about 50 grams worth
- 16:27of ice
- 16:28i basically filled it up just to
- 16:33make something dark just to show you
- 16:36this
- 16:36so i'm going to put this behind so you
- 16:38can kind of see
- 16:40but i filled up the ice to just up below
- 16:43the 100 line
- 16:45that should give me plenty of ice for
- 16:47quenching purposes
- 16:49i'm going to gently turn up this reflux
- 16:52it hasn't started boiling yet
- 16:55and we're going to need a boiling in a
- 16:56minute okay
- 16:58so this is our recrystallization solvent
- 17:01i'm going to leave that there
- 17:02and we're going to quench the reaction
- 17:05so if it looks like it's cooled off and
- 17:07it stopped dripping inside
- 17:09we then can break this first joint right
- 17:12here
- 17:15very carefully i'm breaking that joint
- 17:19now some of our product is possibly in
- 17:22here
- 17:23we're going to do a wrench so i'm going
- 17:25to set this gently down
- 17:28and our first rinse will be water then
- 17:30we're going to come back later
- 17:32and do a second rinse when we start
- 17:34recrystallizing
- 17:36but let's first quench this reaction
- 17:39so because this is so hot i'm actually
- 17:42going to
- 17:44hold on to the flask using uh the clamp
- 17:48and now watch what happens inside
- 17:52as i pour in the hot mixture
- 17:57you see it it's immediately making a
- 17:59fizzy noise
- 18:03it's melting away my ice
- 18:06as the sulfuric acid the nitric acid
- 18:10become diluted
- 18:12and it looks like we're actually
- 18:13starting to form product
- 18:15on the top you guys can see that's kind
- 18:19of a yellow thick thing
- 18:21that is actually our final product looks
- 18:23pretty good so we're going to do one
- 18:25rinse
- 18:26of all our glassware with pure water
- 18:30and then we'll save it later
- 18:34and what's nice is we're just removing
- 18:36the acids at this stage
- 18:38so a little extra water doesn't hurt
- 18:40going to set that to the side
- 18:44now for this big apparatus i'm actually
- 18:47just going to pull the top joint off
- 18:50and i'm going to rinse straight through
- 18:52the entire condenser
- 18:57okay so right into my round bottom
- 19:02and that way hopefully i will be able to
- 19:06remove any
- 19:07acid type molecules that stage so
- 19:12and now i'm going to pull this joint off
- 19:15[Music]
- 19:18and do a rinse down through
- 19:23here okay
- 19:27all right now to say what i've already
- 19:30said
- 19:32there's a possibility of some of our
- 19:33products stuck in this glassware
- 19:36we will extract that later when we go to
- 19:38the recrystallation step so
- 19:40again i'm going to set this to the side
- 19:42and be very careful with it
- 19:48okay so what i've done in here
- 19:53i basically made a soup
- 19:57of our product in a nicholas environment
- 20:00our product really doesn't like
- 20:02water very well and
- 20:06if the product doesn't precipitate we're
- 20:08going to stir it
- 20:09until it gums up it's almost like making
- 20:13butter
- 20:15usually i call this the butter churning
- 20:17lab where you beat on the organics
- 20:19together until they all clump up
- 20:25okay so i'm going to try to show you the
- 20:29bottom just a little bit
- 20:30you see there's some solid starting to
- 20:32form on the bottom
- 20:34we need it to clump up as much
- 20:37of the material out of the liquid as
- 20:39possible
- 20:43and so i'm just going to stir vigorously
- 20:48just like i would if i was turning
- 20:50better in the old days
- 20:54and basically i'm beating the organic
- 20:57molecules together
- 20:58that's how a butter churn basically
- 21:01worked as you would beat on it long
- 21:03enough until the organic materials
- 21:05collapse together
- 21:06in a semi-solid you'll also notice as i
- 21:10beat on it
- 21:11that the solution actually seems to
- 21:13become a little clearer
- 21:15that's another good sign
- 21:19that's a sign that the organics are
- 21:21actually clumping up
- 21:23so i'm getting a nice layer of organics
- 21:26on the bottom
- 21:27the solution is becoming a little less
- 21:30cloudy
- 21:32okay i'm now going to ice bath that and
- 21:36do the first crude filtration
- 21:39okay as you can see
- 21:42most of my products clumped up it's
- 21:44clumped up even on the strain rod that's
- 21:46excellent that's what we want to see i'm
- 21:48going to ice it for just a minute
- 21:51and while it's icing in the ice bath
- 21:53we're going to prepare
- 21:55our buckner funnel our buckner funnel
- 21:58works
- 22:00by having little holes we're going to
- 22:02put a piece of filter paper on the top
- 22:04of it
- 22:05to stop anything i've made your size
- 22:09from going through the holes
- 22:11then we'll turn on the house vacuum
- 22:15and we're going to wet the paper down to
- 22:18make it
- 22:19nice and tightly bound and i don't know
- 22:22if you can
- 22:23see from where you're at
- 22:26maybe i'll disconnect just for a moment
- 22:29to illustrate this principle
- 22:31but as soon as i pour in some water
- 22:35i have some water from here
- 22:39i'm on camera okay the water gets sucked
- 22:42immediately
- 22:42right through and that's the nice thing
- 22:45about a nice suction filtration will be
- 22:47a really
- 22:48fast filtration we're going to do right
- 22:50now
- 22:51now the object is to remove any acids
- 22:55and to capture as much as the organics
- 22:58as we can
- 23:00the other thing is we're going to reuse
- 23:04this speaker to recrystallize in
- 23:07so we do not
- 23:10have to get all the solid out the only
- 23:13thing we have to remove is all the acid
- 23:15so what i'm going to do now
- 23:20is just slowly pour this liquid over the
- 23:23top of our filter paper
- 23:31okay since we're removing the acid i'm
- 23:34going to do one rinse of everything
- 23:36with water
- 23:40and i'll pour that over the top
- 23:44okay and hopefully most of our products
- 23:47still inside here
- 23:49looks like we have a fair amount of
- 23:50product
- 23:52you may see that this is going to be a
- 23:54good day so far
- 23:56okay we're going to wait for this to
- 23:58stop dripping
- 23:59and it has stopped dripping a couple
- 24:02more drips
- 24:03okay it has stopped dripping
- 24:07i can now turn the suction off
- 24:10i'm going to show you what's inside of
- 24:12our buchner funnel right now
- 24:14if i can tip it over just enough without
- 24:16spilling
- 24:17you see some of our product is was
- 24:19captured by there
- 24:21we're going to transfer that back into
- 24:22here
- 24:24and then we're going to take
- 24:28a scoopula or spatula and carefully lift
- 24:32up the paper
- 24:36and i'm going to show you the paper up
- 24:37close and personal
- 24:40just you see if you look carefully at
- 24:43the paper
- 24:44you see it's covered with yellow product
- 24:46as well i'm going to set that just on
- 24:48the edge of our
- 24:50first funnel and then there's a few more
- 24:52powders in here
- 24:55i'm going to try to maximize our yield
- 24:58so i want all that yellow solid in
- 25:01back into the original beaker
- 25:04okay now
- 25:09this is our crude product the procedure
- 25:13say to take a melting point of the crude
- 25:15are we still going to do that professor
- 25:18yeah think about the hunt
- 25:19we'll do them together okay so i'm gonna
- 25:22take a little sample now
- 25:25and hopefully it'll not be too gooey
- 25:30which is really bad it's for sure gonna
- 25:32be back with this wet still too
- 25:33yeah it's not gonna be a good sample i
- 25:35usually have them dry up for a few
- 25:36minutes
- 25:37okay i'm gonna take this and dry it then
- 25:40okay
- 25:43because i normally don't do a crude
- 25:44because it's always wet
- 25:46yeah just let it
- 25:49i'm gonna let the vacuum just suck on it
- 25:51for a while
- 25:52and then there's some crystals on the
- 25:54corner
- 25:56so i'm going to leave the vacuum going
- 26:02and i'm going to take a little sample of
- 26:04this out
- 26:06we're going to lose a little bit of our
- 26:08yield guys
- 26:10there's a nice looking sample of product
- 26:12right there
- 26:13i'm gonna put it right on the top of
- 26:14this put my
- 26:17melting point tube next to it to remind
- 26:20me to take a melting point of that later
- 26:22okay so that's just going to be sitting
- 26:24there grind
- 26:26the rest of our product we're going to
- 26:28recrystallize
- 26:30the secret to reclassilization is the
- 26:32following rules
- 26:34you always want the minimum solvent
- 26:36possible
- 26:37to completely dissolve everything
- 26:40now remember i said some of our product
- 26:44looked like it was stuck in here
- 26:46i want you to look there's some yellow
- 26:47stuff here i have some boiling ethanol
- 26:50which i started burrowing earlier
- 26:52i'm going to do a little rinse
- 26:55you see we got a nice yellow color
- 26:59i don't want those boiling stones but i
- 27:02want any organics
- 27:05okay so that another little rinse
- 27:11and my glassware almost has no yellow
- 27:14color anymore
- 27:15that's a good sign okay
- 27:21so i've removed the product that was
- 27:23stuck to that glassware
- 27:25i'm going to do the same now to this one
- 27:29same exact thing except we're going to
- 27:31start at the top
- 27:32and do a little rinse first
- 27:36for the condenser just
- 27:40and i'm gonna do another little rinse
- 27:43all right i should take care of the
- 27:44condenser
- 27:46that means i can take this clamp off
- 27:50set that just gently like that and look
- 27:53carefully
- 27:54so i'm looking to see is there any
- 27:56yellow left on there
- 27:57it looks pretty clean so now that leaves
- 28:00the claisen adapter
- 28:03last one to rinse off
- 28:17okay so we examine the claisen adapter
- 28:22do we have all the yellow off that one's
- 28:24good
- 28:25okay so we have more or less transferred
- 28:28as much as we could
- 28:30into the original flask
- 28:34we are now going to recrystallize it by
- 28:36just blowing the solvent
- 28:39i'm going to add a little extra solvent
- 28:42to try to dissolve the edges
- 28:48now one of the other catches about
- 28:50recrystallization
- 28:51is if you use too much solvent you lose
- 28:55part of your yield
- 28:56so you want just enough to dissolve
- 29:00everything but not so much
- 29:04that you lose your product in the final
- 29:06filtration
- 29:08one last thing i need to rinse off
- 29:11is the story rod you want that out of
- 29:13there
- 29:14so you see the steering rod is still
- 29:16sticking
- 29:18let's get all our product right off that
- 29:20stirring rod
- 29:23come on strain rods let go
- 29:27there it goes a little bump there so we
- 29:31have a nice clean strain run
- 29:33okay let's see if we can make this boil
- 29:38now and go
- 29:39completely clear should be a nice
- 29:42yellow clear color
- 29:48set that down and that'll usually
- 29:51take a few minutes and now i'm going to
- 29:54go back and check on our crude
- 29:56as it dried long enough
- 30:00can't drive with acetone or it will
- 30:03i think we have it dry enough in here to
- 30:05get a melting point i'm going to try
- 30:16okay it looks like i have enough of a
- 30:19crude sample
- 30:21if we bounce it to the bottom we should
- 30:23be able to obtain a melting point
- 30:26that said i want to increase
- 30:30my overall yield
- 30:37yeah i think that's enough for a melting
- 30:39point okay
- 30:41so i have the the product in here we're
- 30:44going to send this to the melting point
- 30:45wrap around us a little bit later
- 30:53and so while that's trying to dissolve
- 30:57i'm going to transfer what
- 31:00again anything that's in here
- 31:04oh there's still a little bit inside i'm
- 31:05gonna try to get it in here
- 31:07again the whole goal is maximum yield
- 31:09highest purity
- 31:11so
- 31:16let me show you one more cool trick you
- 31:18can do
- 31:24no that wasn't it okay
- 31:27normally when the paper is wet
- 31:30you can get it to stick to the glass
- 31:32there we go that's what i was hoping for
- 31:35okay so i made the filter paper
- 31:39stick to the glass
- 31:43and i'm going to try to squirt off as
- 31:45much of the yellow
- 31:47as will come out easily
- 31:51so okay
- 31:56that looks like enough of that
- 31:59oh okay i'm going to show you this
- 32:03just to get up close the orange we don't
- 32:06want but
- 32:07it looks like i got most of the yellow
- 32:09off but i missed some of it there
- 32:10we're just going to call that a little
- 32:12bit of wash maybe
- 32:14not very much might be a few milligrams
- 32:18okay our liquid here looks like this is
- 32:21about to boil
- 32:24and to see if we have enough solvent
- 32:27i'll show you a trick
- 32:29we're going to put a watch glass on top
- 32:32a little bit of ice
- 32:34and if it boils and re-condenses
- 32:38all of the edges should be dissolved
- 32:41down into the bottom
- 32:44and that's what we're going to do right
- 32:45now you see how it's boiling
- 32:53and there went one section of the edges
- 32:58let's spin it around slowly we're
- 33:00looking for
- 33:01anything stuck on the sides of the
- 33:03beaker
- 33:05because while it's boiling
- 33:10it'll dissolve away while we're
- 33:12reflexing the liquid
- 33:14oh it's looking pretty good i want to
- 33:18mention that you're boiling ethanol
- 33:19right
- 33:20yes yeah so uh if you ever have to boil
- 33:22ethanol in the lab you should always
- 33:23keep it covered or on a fume hood
- 33:25because you can get drunk off the vapors
- 33:28yep true that which is a sad truth
- 33:33for some okay so
- 33:37as i go around i'm going to go around
- 33:39one more time
- 33:40and you guys watch see if you see any
- 33:42solid still stuck on the sides
- 33:45i'm not look seeing any um
- 33:50maybe right there or those might be on
- 33:53the outside
- 33:56okay it looks like we've done enough
- 34:01the liquid is basically clear
- 34:05so the other key about recrystallization
- 34:07is be very
- 34:08patient cooling it off if you cool it
- 34:11off too fast
- 34:13the products when the crystals form
- 34:16will actually trap products in
- 34:19and i can see it's already starting to
- 34:21form crystals on the bottom
- 34:24i don't know if i can tip it you want to
- 34:26tip the camera
- 34:28yeah you turn it so the text is that way
- 34:33okay yeah there's a little bit of
- 34:36crystals for me
- 34:38once you have the first crystals the
- 34:39other crystals should grow on them
- 34:43and i can see them in a pile when i do a
- 34:45swirl
- 34:47i can't see it when i take the blue away
- 34:49though
- 34:50okay so i'm going to try to show you up
- 34:53close
- 34:54but you see there's a little pile of
- 34:56crystals starting to form in the bottom
- 34:59hopefully you can see that
- 35:02and so we're going to just let that cool
- 35:05it needs to come down to room
- 35:07temperature
- 35:08and before we ice it the entire beaker
- 35:12should fill up with crystals
- 35:15then you're going to do a final we'll do
- 35:17a final icing
- 35:20to maximize our yield in this solvent
- 35:23so for now we're just cooling
- 35:29and while that's cooling
- 35:32i'm going to prepare the second
- 35:34filtration
- 35:35so our final filtration we need to clean
- 35:39this up
- 35:41i'm going to remove all the acid water
- 35:44that's in here
- 35:46and then rinse it out with acetone
- 35:48because our final filtration will be
- 35:49organic
- 35:50and the organics need to be discarded in
- 35:52the organic waste
- 35:54it does this thing sometimes where it
- 35:56emulsifies instead of crystallizes
- 36:00okay guys we're getting we're been
- 36:03recrystallizing
- 36:05you'll see we got a nice pile of
- 36:06crystals right now
- 36:08soaking on the bottom we feel the
- 36:10temperature
- 36:11fills more or less to room temperature
- 36:13we're now going to
- 36:14ice it for five more minutes and do our
- 36:18final filtration
- 36:19after five minutes okay
- 36:22we've iced our final product we have a
- 36:24nice clumped up here on the bottom
- 36:27the final filtration needs to be done in
- 36:29ethanol so over here i prepared
- 36:32some ice cold ethanol also in an ice
- 36:35bath
- 36:36we're going to first wet down the paper
- 36:38with ice cold ethanol i wetted
- 36:40the suction's on check wet the paper
- 36:43down
- 36:45check suck the ethanol through really
- 36:48fast
- 36:49okay now we're going to try to transfer
- 36:53all of this liquid in one go
- 36:56and then capture the solid
- 37:00on the middle of filter paper
- 37:03if there's any left behind we're going
- 37:05to use ice called ethanol but remember
- 37:06the more
- 37:07ethanol i use the more the product will
- 37:10be lost
- 37:12so we're in a catch-22 we want to
- 37:14transfer it all
- 37:16we don't want to lose anything
- 37:19and since it all stuck to the top
- 37:22i'm going there it goes come out
- 37:28i'm about to get us my glass steering
- 37:34rod
- 37:36you're just hanging out upside down okay
- 37:39so some of it's stuck to the bottom i'm
- 37:41afraid of that i don't want
- 37:43to lose too much product but i want my
- 37:45product
- 37:47for the final weight
- 37:50okay so most of it came out but not all
- 37:53of it
- 37:54that's what the ethanol is for i'm gonna
- 37:56squirt it
- 37:58swirl it pour it how do we do on that
- 38:01one
- 38:01we got about eighty percent we'll do it
- 38:04one more time
- 38:05squirt squirt maybe two more times
- 38:14now i'm
- 38:23let's pour some more ethanol
- 38:30okay so this will be my final one
- 38:36i hope pour it over the top
- 38:40okay a little bit of products lost
- 38:44can't quite transfer it all um
- 38:48but if i look down at my separatory
- 38:49funnel that looks really good
- 38:51i get a nice view of that and we're
- 38:54going to do
- 38:55one wrench now of
- 38:58ethanol across the top and hopefully
- 39:01that'll remove
- 39:02any of the impurities that may have been
- 39:05created
- 39:06which you'll learn in the pre-lab is the
- 39:08two
- 39:10initial products can be our impurities
- 39:13now sometimes if you get a lot of the
- 39:15other products your your solution down
- 39:17here will be really bright orange
- 39:20okay now take a picture of the solution
- 39:22you see that yellow color
- 39:24technically speaking if we condensed it
- 39:26down we could make
- 39:28more crystals out of the ethanol here
- 39:30but we're not going to do that today
- 39:31our yield will be just whatever we
- 39:33obtained from up here
- 39:34so now that we've done the rinse and
- 39:36it's ethanol it's going to take
- 39:3815 minutes of air drying time we're
- 39:40going to stop recording and just let the
- 39:43vacuum go
- 39:44okay we have been drying our product for
- 39:47about 15 minutes
- 39:49you'll notice two things one our product
- 39:51is dryer
- 39:53but remember what i said about reese
- 39:55dissolving some of the solid
- 39:58about half of the liquid evaporated away
- 40:01and some of our lost product is now
- 40:03crystallized on the bottom
- 40:06as i said if we wanted to we go back and
- 40:09try to collect that but
- 40:10we're not going to
- 40:14you sure you mentioned sources of waffle
- 40:15or product in your report
- 40:17make sure when you're explaining the
- 40:18percent losses
- 40:20you know one of them's right there that
- 40:23always happens remember
- 40:25what i said earlier in the lab the more
- 40:26ethanol the more of your product ends up
- 40:29down in this funnel
- 40:30now our product here is nice and dry in
- 40:34a nice
- 40:34light yellow solid we're going to put it
- 40:37on our pre-weighed beaker
- 40:40that we pre-weighed at the very
- 40:41beginning
- 40:43so it's looking really pretty
- 40:46it's nice and white i'm going to gently
- 40:50knock off any of the
- 40:53powder that was on the paper we're going
- 40:56to discard the paper because
- 40:58you never weigh paper because liquid
- 41:01impurities always get stuck inside the
- 41:02paper
- 41:04check inside of here a little bit of
- 41:07crystals right there
- 41:12so once we are confident
- 41:15we retain as much product as we can and
- 41:18again i know we've lost some over here
- 41:20in the
- 41:20in the sidearm class we're now going to
- 41:23do our final reign for today
- 41:25and then i'll take a melting point to
- 41:28this final product
- 41:32we pre-weighed this watch glass we now
- 41:36have our product on it
- 41:38and if i drop it it's all because of the
- 41:40gloves
- 41:43yeah yeah yeah i couldn't feel for sure
- 41:47okay
- 41:48so when that's
- 41:51right there there we go yeah 55.553838
- 41:58the last thing we need is a small sample
- 42:00for the melting point
- 42:02we just use this the other beauty of a
- 42:05watch glass
- 42:06gives us a nice surface to
- 42:09put our product in yep
- 42:15and our product is fairly dry we just
- 42:18need to bounce it so where did the
- 42:19bounce tube go
- 42:21over here
- 42:26so we use the glass too to balance it it
- 42:28helps pack the tube
- 42:30here we're going to put the glass on the
- 42:33top
- 42:34and as we let go you'll see that the
- 42:38the melting point tube bounces and it
- 42:41condenses the solid on the bottom we'll
- 42:43do it again so we can get that
- 42:44ready you can see it bouncing in there
- 42:49there we go and we now have a sample
- 42:53that's ready for a melting point okay
- 42:56let's move over to the melting point
- 42:57apparatus i got it
- 43:02okay everybody i'm getting uh to set up
- 43:04here to uh get the melting point
- 43:06of the crude and the purified product
- 43:09uh on the left i went ahead and put the
- 43:12so the left one here is the crude uh the
- 43:15right one here is the pure
- 43:17i set my starting temp to be 40
- 43:20and then the ramp rate you know is
- 43:22typically 5 degrees
- 43:23c per minute and the stop turn of the
- 43:26matter it's going to melt well before
- 43:27the stop tap i think it's like 2 30. so
- 43:29yeah well before then it's going to melt
- 43:31but enjoy the show
- 48:31you
