Robert asks…

what is the boiling point of diethyl ether using enthalpy of vapourisation and entropy?

diethyl ether ( C4 H10 O) has an ΔvapH of 28.36 kJ/mol and the phase change from liquid to gas has an ΔS° of 96.6 J/mol/K. what is the normal boiling point of diethyl ether?

weight loss cardiff answers:

At the normal boiling point, the liquid and gas phases of a material are in equilibrium. That means the free energy change for the reaction:

liquid -> gas

is zero.

You should also know that ΔG = ΔH – T*ΔS, so at equilibrium:

T = ΔH/ΔS

In this case, you are given the enthalpy and entropy of vaporization, so:

T_boiling = (28,360 J/mol)/(96.6 J/(mol*K)) = 294 K

John asks…

why is it better to use diethyl ether when performing trimyristin extraction from numeg instead of acetone or?

why is it better to use diethyl ether when performing trimyristin extraction from numeg instead of acetone or ethanol? does it have to do with the solubilities of trim. in each of these solvents? how would you rank trimyristin’s solubility in each of these solvents?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hmm, i wonder why you’d want to do that?

Seriously though, i’d say it was to do with flammability and possibly toxicity, but that’s just a guess.

George asks…

When you add salicylic acid-naphthalene mixture in a diethyl ether with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate?

When you add salicylic acid-naphthalene mixture in a diethyl ether with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, what kind of gas do they form?

weight loss cardiff answers:

CO2(g) is evolved…

Here’s the balanced equation.

C6H4(OH)-COOH (salicylic acid) + NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate) –> C6H4(OH)-COO-Na+ (sodium salicylate) + CO2 (carbon dioxide) + H2O

A wash with aqueous sodium barcarbonate solution is usually done to remove any unreacted acidic reagent (salicylic acid, in this case) from the reaction mixture. As you can see, salicylic acid reacts with sodium bicarb to form sodium salicylate, which is water soluble are therefore goes into the water layer. Meanwhile, the organic layer now only contains naphthalene, which can be recovered by evaporation of the diethyl ether solvent.

Hope this helps!!!

Mandy asks…

Why are molecules more soluble in diethyl ether than in water?

Does it react with the molecules? (suppose that the molecules are glucose, p-toluidine, benzoic acid, and 2-naphthol)
Is diethyl ether polar?

weight loss cardiff answers:

There is a simple rule that is easy to remember and follow…”like dissolves like”. What it means is that solvents which possess certain physical characteristics will dissolve solutes that possess similar physical characteristics. At it’s most general meaning, orgainc solvents will dissolve organic compounds. That being said, all the compounds you listed will dissolve in diethyl ether. HOWEVER, not all of the compounds you listed are MORE soluble in diethyl ether than water. Glucose, for one, is actually more soluble in water than it is in ether. The reason is because water is more polar than ether and can hydrogen bond with water more freely than with ether since water has both hydrogen bond donor and acceptor atoms. Similarly, the more ‘hydrocarbon-like’ a solute is (with 2-napthol being the most hydrocarbon-like compound of the ones listed), the more soluble it will be in less polar solvents.

Hope this helps!!!

George asks…

What mass ( g ) of the solvent tetrahydrofuran should be combined with 0.6713 L of the solute diethyl ether to?

What mass ( g ) of the solvent tetrahydrofuran should be combined with 0.6713 L of the solute diethyl ether to produce a solution that is 1.45 m diethyl ether.

weight loss cardiff answers:

_____molality is moles of solute / kg solvent

here THF is the solvent and Et2) is the solute

moles solute = 671.3 ml * d Et2O g/ml / MW Et2O g/mole = ?? Moles Et2O

1.45m = 1.45 moles / kg = ?? Mole / x kg of solvent

x g of solvent = 1000 g/kg * ?? Mole Et2O /1.45 mole/kg = ?? G THF

Plug missing info and SOLVE

Basic mathematics is a prerequisite to chemistry – I just try to help you with the methodology of solving the problem.

Sandra asks…

What are the effects of Diethyl ether on you?

Can anyone tell me the effects of Diethyl Ether when you sniff it?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Diethyl ether is a colourless, extremely volatile liquid with a characteristic smell. It is used as am anaesthetic, although it is not an ideal anaesthetic. It is safer than chloroform and more effective than nitrous oxide. Unwanted effects of exposure to ether can include a cough, sore throat, painful red eyes, a headache, drowsiness, laboured breathing and nausea. Vomiting is quite common.

But some people like its sub-anaesthetic effects on consciousness when you sniff it; it has “abuse potential”.

Joseph asks…

What does diethyl ether do in the esterification of salicylic acid?

I’m writing a mechanism for the esterification of salicylic acid using thionyl cloride. Then water and diethyl ether. Then sodium bicarbonate.

I remember in lab that when the diethyl ether was added, it was just a washing process. But I don’t understand how it would fit into a mechanism.

Did it have a purpose? what did it chemically do to the molecule?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You need to give more info on what you did. Looking at your sketchy procedure there is stuff missing. What was the objective of the experiment. In any event, the diethyl ether would have been a wash solvent or an extraction solvent; it would not react under these conditions.

Charles asks…

Why is diethyl ether is more soluble in water than dihexyl ether?

Why is diethyl ether is more soluble in water than dihexyl ether? Would you expect propane or diethyl ether to be more soluble in water? Why?

weight loss cardiff answers:

That is because hexyl group is more NON-POLAR and bulky than ethyl group.. Giving much more repulsion to polar water molecule…

Hope I help you with that .. Goodluck and godbless!
