How carbon and Hydrogen is detected in a organic compounds.

Answer»

The Carbon and Hydrogen present in the Organic compound is detected by heating the compound with Copper II oxide in a hard glass tube when carbon present in the compound is oxidized to CO2 which can be tested with lime Water and Hydrogen is converted to water which can be tested with anhydrous copper sulphate which turns blue. 

 C + CuO ------>  2Cu + CO2 

 2 H +CuO --------> Cu + H2

 CO2 +Ca (OH )2 -------> CaCO3 + H2

 5H2O + CuSO4 --------> CuSO4.5H2O

Explain the principle of paper chromatography.

Answer»

Paper chromatography is based on the difference in the rates at which the components of a mixture are adsorbed. The material on which different components are adsorbed is called Stationary phase which is generally made up of alumina, silica gel or activated charcoal. The mixture to be separated is dissolved in a suitable medium and it is called moving phase. The moving phase is run on the Stationary phase, the different compounds are adsorbed on stationary phase at different rates and separated by differential adsorption method.

0.2346 g of an organic compound containing C, H & O, on combustion gives 0.2754 g of H2O and 0.4488 g CO2 . Calculate the % composition of C, H & O in the organic compound.

Answer»

Weight of organic substance (w) = 0.2346 g

Weight of water (x) = 0.2754 g

Weight of CO2 (y) = 0.4488 g

Percentage of carbon = \(\frac{12}{44}\) x \(\frac{y}{w}\) x 100

\(\frac{12}{44}\) - \(\frac{0.4488}{0.2346}\) x 100 = 52.17%

Percentage of hydrogen = \(\frac{2}{18}\) x \(\frac{y}{w}\)x 100

\(\frac{2}{18}\) x \(\frac{0.2754}{0.2346}\) x 100 = 13.04%

Percentage of oxygen = [100-(52.17+13.04)] = 100 - 65.21 = 34.79%

314.

0.26 g of an organic compound gave 0.039 g of water and 0.245 g of carbon dioxide on combustion. Calculate the percentage of C & H.

Answer»

Weight of organic compound = 0.26 g

Weight of water = 0.039 g

Weight of CO2 = 0.245 g

Percentage of hydrogen:

18 g of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

0.039 g of water contains = \(\frac{2}{18}\) x \(\frac{0.039}{0.26}\) of H

% of hydrogen = \(\frac{0.039}{0.26}\) x \(\frac{2}{18}\) x 100 = 1.66%

Percentage of carbon:

44 g of CO2 contains 12 g of C

0.245 g of CO2 contains = \(\frac{12}{44}\) x \(\frac{0.245}{0.26}\) g of C

% of Carbon = \(\frac{12}{44}\) x \(\frac{0.245}{0.26}\) x 100 = 25.69%

315.

316.

0.30 g of a substance gives 0.88 g of carbon dioxide and 0.54 g of water calculate the percentage of carbon and hydrogen in it.

Answer»

Weight of organic compound = 0.30 g

Weight of carbon-dioxide = 0.88 g

Weight of water = 0.54 g

Percentage of hydrogen:

18 g of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

0.54 g of water contain = \(\frac{2}{18}\) x 0.54 g of hydrogen

% of hydrogen = \(\frac{2}{18}\) x \(\frac{0.54}{0.30}\) x 100 = \(\frac{2}{18}\) x \(\frac{54}{0.3}\)

% of H = 0.111 x 180 = 19.888 ≈ 20%

Percentage of carbon:

44 g of CO2 contains 12 g of carbon

0.88 g of CO2 contains = \(\frac{12}{44}\) x 0.88 g of carbon

% of carbon = \(\frac{12}{44}\) x \(\frac{0.88}{0.30}\) x 100 = \(\frac{12}{44}\) x \(\frac{88}{0.3}\) = \(\frac{24}{0.3}\)

% of carbon = 80 % .
