PURIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

THIS CHAPTER INCLUDES
In order to study the properties of the organic compound for its identification, ● Purification of
the given organic compound must be obtained in the purest form. The purification of the compound can be achieved by any of the following methods:
organic compounds

insoluble or dissolve to such an extent that they remain in solution in the mother liquor upon crystallisation (iii) which is not highly inflammable (iv) which does not react chemically with the compound to be purified.
Fractional crystallisation : Fractional crystallisation is used for the separation of a mixture of two components which are soluble in the same solvent but their solubilities are different. The hot saturated solution of the mixture is allowed to cool the less soluble component crystallises out earlier than the more soluble component. The various fractions are separated from time to time. These fractions are now separately put to crystallisation.
Sublimation : Certain organic substances change directly from solid to vapour state without passing through the liquid state and vice-versa. This is called sublimation. Only the substances having vapour pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure much below their respective melting points sublime and can be purified by this method.
This method is useful for purification and separation of organic substances such as camphor, naphthalene, benzoic acid, anthracene, phthalic anhydride which sublime on heating from non-volatile impurities.
Distillation: Distillation involves the process of heating a liquid to convert it into the vapours and then condensing the vapours to get back the liquid. The simple distillation is applied only for the purification of liquids which boil without decomposition at atmospheric pressure and contain non volatile impurities.
Molecular formula
A mixture of two liquids can be separated and purified if their boiling points differ by 30 – 50 K. For example
a mixture of hexane (bp 342 K) and toluene (bp 384 K) (ii) a mixture of benzene (bp 353 K) and aniline (bp 457 K).
Fractional Distillation: This method is used for the separation and purification of organic liquids from volatile impurities, or for separating two or more volatile liquids, from a liquid mixture whose boiling point differ by 40 K or less.
When the liquids present in the mixture have their boiling points close to each other (i.e., differ by 10–15 K only), the separation into pure liquids is difficult. The fractions obtained are always contaminated. The fractions are further purified by repeated distillations. To decrease the number of distillations, the separation is done by fitting the distillation flask with a fractionating column.
Fractionating column is a special type of long glass tube provided with obstructions to the passage of the rising vapour upwards and that of the liquids downwards.
For example. (i) Separation of acetone (bp 325 K) from methyl alcohol (bp 338 K) (ii) Separation of petroleum into gasoline, kerosene oil, diesel oil.
Vacuum Distillation: In case of organic liquids which decompose before their boiling point is reached, the distillation is carried out under reduced pressure. Glycerol is one such compound.
A liquid boils, when its vapour pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. When the outer pressure is reduced the liquid boils at a lower temperature without undergoing decomposition.
Steam Distillation: It is co-distillation with water. This method is used for the purification and separation of the organic solid or liquid compounds which are volatile in steam, immiscible with water, contain non volatile impurities and have high vapour pressure at 373 K.
A liquid boils, when its vapour pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Since in steam distillation, the distilling mixture consists of steam and vapour of organic substance, the sum of the vapour pressure of the organic substance ( = P1) and that of steam (= P2) becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure (= P) at the temperature of the distillation.
It follows from this that, at the temperature of distillation the vapour pressure of organic substance is lower than the atmospheric pressure by an amount of vapour pressure of steam. In other words the organic substance distills below its normal boiling point without decomposition. For example aniline which normally boils at 457 K boils at 371.5 K with the help of steam distillation.
Differential Extraction : Differential Extraction is the process of separation of an organic compound from its aqueous solution by shaking with a suitable solvent such as ether, chloroform and benzene. The solvent should be miscible with water and the organic compound to be separated should be highly soluble in it.
With a given volume of extracting solvent available, the extraction is more efficient (i.e. more complete) if it is used in several installments, than, if it is used all in one installment. For a given volume of the solvent, greater the number of the extractions, more is the amount of the organic substance extracted.
Chromatography : Chromatography (discovered by Russian Botanist Tswett) is a modern technique for the separation, isolation, purification and identification of the constituents of the mixture.
Chromatography is based on the principle of selective distribution of compounds of a mixture between two phases, a stationary phase (or a fixed phase) and moving (or a mobile) phase. The stationary phase can be a solid or a liquid while the moving phase is a liquid or gas. When the stationary phase is a solid, the basis is adsorption and when it is a liquid, the basis is partition.
Types of Chromatography
Based on the nature of the stationary phase and the moving phase, different types of chromatographic technique have been developed. The most common ones are tabulated.

EMPIRICAL AND MOLECULAR FORMULA
Empirical Formula of a compound is the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms of elements constituting its one molecule. The sum of atomic masses of the atoms representing empirical formula is called empirical formula mass.
Molecular Formula of a compound shows the actual number of the atoms of the elements present in its one molecule. The sum of atomic masses of the atoms representing molecule is called molecular mass.
Relationship between Empirical Formula and Molecular Formula
Molecular formula = n × empirical formula where n is a simple whole number having values of 1, 2, 3... etc.
Also, n = Molecular formula mass/Empirical formula mass.
An organic compound contains 40% C, 6.66% H and rest Oxygen. Its vapour density is 30. Calculate empirical and molecular formula.

UNIT 24 - SOLIDS AND SEMICONDUCTORS 1. SOLID STATE ELECTRONICS (SEMICONDUCTORS) (A) Energy bands in solids: (i) In solids, the group of closely lying energy levels is known as energy band. (ii) In solids the energy bands are analogous to energy levels in an atom. (iii) In solids the atoms are arranged very close to each other. In these atoms there are discrete energy levels of electrons. For the formation of crystal these atoms come close together, then due to nucleus-nucleus, electron-electron and electron-nucleus interactions the discrete energy levels of atom distort and consequently each energy level spits into a large number of closely lying energy levels. (iv) The number of split energy levels is proportional to the number of atoms interacting with each other. If two atoms interact then each energy level splits into two out of which one will be somewhat above and another will be somewhat below the main energy level. In solids the number of atoms is very large ( 1023). Hence eac...

5.1 DEFINITION OF CENTRE OF MASS Centre of mass: Every physical system has associated with it a certain point whose motion characterizes the motion of the whole system. When the system moves under some external forces than this point moves as if the entire mass of the system is concentrated at this point and also the external force is applied at his point of translational motion. This point is called the centre of mass of the system. Centre of mass of system of n point masses or n particles is that point about which moment of mass of the system is zero, it means that if about a particular origin the moment of mass of system of n point masses is zero, then that particular origin is the centre of mass of the system. The concept of centre of mass is a pure mathematical concept. If there are n particles having mass m1, m2 ….m n and are placed in space (x1, y1, z1), (x2, y2, z2) ……….(x n, y n, z n) then centre of mass of system is defined as (X, Y, Z) where = Y = and Z = where...
