Amines. Organic Derivatives of Ammonia, NH3. Nitrogen Atoms Have a Lone Pair of Electrons, Making the Amine Both Basic and Nucleophilic Chapter 21: Amines. Organic derivatives of ammonia, NH3. Nitrogen atoms have a lone pair of electrons, making the amine both basic and nucleophilic 21.1: Amines Nomenclature. (please read) H H N C N H H sp3 alkylamines arylamines Amines are classified according to the degree of nitrogen + substitution: 1° (RNH2), 2° (R2NH), 3° (R3N) and 4° (R4N ) NH2 H H3CH2C CH2CH3 N H3C N N N N H H CH2CH3 H primary (1°) amines secondary (2°) amines tertiary (3°) amines quarternary (4°) ammonium ion Note: Although the terminology is the same, the classification of amines is different from that of alcohols. 223 21.2: Structure and bonding. The nitrogen of alkylamines is sp3 hybridized and tetrahedral. The nitrogen of arylamines (aniline) is slightly flatten, reflecting resonance interactions with the aromatic ring. 224 112 In principle an amine with three different substituents on the nitrogen is chiral with the lone pair of electrons being the fourth substituent; however, for most amines the pyramidal inversion of nitrogen is a racemization mechanism. The barrier to nitrogen inversion is about 25 KJ/mol (very rapid at room temperature). 21.3: Physical Properties. (please read) 21.4: Basicity of Amines. The basicity is reflective of and is expressed as the pKa of the conjugate acid. The conjugate base of a weak acid is a strong base: Higher pKa = weaker acid = stronger conjugate base The conjugate base of a strong acid is a weak base 225 Lower pKa = stronger acid = weaker conjugate base Table 21.1 (p. 964): pKa values of ammonium ions + - Alkyl ammonium ions, R3NH X , have pKa values in the range of + - 10-11 (ammonium ion, H4N X , has a pKa ~ 9.3) The ammonium ions of aryl amines and heterocyclic aromatic amines are considerably more acidic than alkyl amines (pKa < 5). The nitrogen lone pair is less basic if it is in an sp2 hybridized orbital (versus an sp3) NH3 pKa = 4.6 + NH4 pKa= 9.3 + N H 5.2 (H3CH2C)NH3 10.8 (H CH C) NH + 11.1 H 3 2 2 2 N H 0.4 + (H3CH2C)3NH 10.8 H N N H 6.9 NH 2 7.0 O - 1.0 NH3 226 113 Arylamines are less basic than alkylamines. The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen of aniline are conjugated to the π- electrons of the aromatic ring and are therefore less available for acid-base chemistry. Protonation disrupts the conjugation. Substitutents can greatly influence the basicity of the aniline. The effect is dependent upon the nature and position of the substitutent. NH NH2 NH NH2 2 2 NH2 R R R R R 227 Electron-donating substituents (-CH3, -OH, -OCH3) make the substituted aniline more basic than aniline itself (the pKa of the substituted anilinium ion is higher than 4.6) Electron-withdrawing substituents (-Cl, -NO2) make the substituted aniline less basic than aniline itself (the pKa of the substituted anilinium ion is lower than 4.6) + + Y NH2 + H3O Y NH3 + H2O Y= -NH2 pKa= 6.2 less acidic -OCH3 pKa= 5.3 (more basic) -CH pK = 5.1 3 a -H pKa= 4.6 -Cl pKa= 4.0 more acidic -CF3 pKa= 3.5 (less basic) -CN pKa= 1.7 -NO2 pKa= 1.0 228 114 21.5: Tetraalkylammonium Salts as Phase-Transfer Catalysts (please reads) 21.6: Reactions That Lead to Amines: A Review and Preview Formation of C–N bonds (Table 21.3, p. 871): a.

  • Wastewater Technology Fact Sheet: Ammonia Stripping
    United States Office of Water EPA 832-F-00-019 Environmental Protection Washington, D.C. September 2000 Agency Wastewater Technology Fact Sheet Ammonia Stripping DESCRIPTION Ammonia stripping is a simple desorption process used to lower the ammonia content of a wastewater stream. Some wastewaters contain large amounts of ammonia and/or nitrogen-containing compounds that may readily form ammonia. It is often easier and less expensive to remove nitrogen from wastewater in the form of ammonia than to convert it to nitrate-nitrogen before removing it (Culp et al., 1978). Ammonia (a weak base) reacts with water (a weak acid) to form ammonium hydroxide. In ammonia stripping, lime or caustic is added to the wastewater until the pH reaches 10.8 to 11.5 standard units which converts ammonium hydroxide ions to ammonia gas according to the following reaction(s): + - NH4 + OH 6 H2O + NH38 Source: Culp, et. al, 1978. Figure 1 illustrates two variations of ammonia FIGURE 1 TWO TYPES OF STRIPPING stripping towers, cross-flow and countercurrent. In TOWERS a cross-flow tower, the solvent gas (air) enters along the entire depth of fill and flows through the packing, as the alkaline wastewater flows it may be more economical to use alternate downward.

PH3, NH3-PH3, and NH3-C2H2 photochemistry [7-13]. Furthermore, recent Galileo, Cassini, and Earth-based observations have better defined the abundance of key atmospheric constituents as a function of altitude and latitude in Jupiter’s troposphere. These new results provide an opportunity to test and improve theoretical models of Jovian atmospheric chemistry. We have therefore developed a photochemical model for Jupi- ter’s troposphere considering the updated experimental and observational constraints. Using the Caltech/JPL KINETICS code [14] for our photochemical models, our basic approach is two- fold. The validity of our selected chemical reaction list is first tested by simulating the laboratory experiments of PH3, NH3-PH3, and NH3-C2H2 photolysis with pho- tochemical “box” models.

  • Choosing Buffers Based on Pka in Many Experiments, We Need a Buffer That Maintains the Solution at a Specific Ph. We May Need An
    Choosing buffers based on pKa In many experiments, we need a buffer that maintains the solution at a specific pH. We may need an acidic or a basic buffer, depending on the experiment. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can help us choose a buffer that has the pH we want. pH = pKa + log([conj. base]/[conj. acid]) With equal amounts of conjugate acid and base (preferred so buffers can resist base and acid equally), then … pH = pKa + log(1) = pKa + 0 = pKa So choose conjugates with a pKa closest to our target pH. Chemistry 103 Spring 2011 Example: You need a buffer with pH of 7.80. Which conjugate acid-base pair should you use, and what is the molar ratio of its components? 2 Chemistry 103 Spring 2011 Practice: Choose the best conjugate acid-base pair for preparing a buffer with pH 5.00. What is the molar ratio of the buffer components? 3 Chemistry 103 Spring 2011 buffer capacity: the amount of strong acid or strong base that can be added to a buffer without changing its pH by more than 1 unit; essentially the number of moles of strong acid or strong base that uses up all of the buffer’s conjugate base or conjugate acid. Example: What is the capacity of the buffer solution prepared with 0.15 mol lactic acid -4 CH3CHOHCOOH (HA, Ka = 1.0 x 10 ) and 0.20 mol sodium lactate NaCH3CHOHCOO (NaA) and enough water to make 1.00 L of solution? (from previous lecture notes) 4 Chemistry 103 Spring 2011 Review of equivalence point equivalence point: moles of H+ = moles of OH- (moles of acid = moles of base, only when the acid has only one acidic proton and the base has only one hydroxide ion).

  • Preparing to Manufacture Hydrogen Peroxide
    PREPARING TO MANUFACTURE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE Part of the Hydrogen Peroxide Propulsion Guide The early laboratory preparation of hydrogen peroxide was based on the technique that Thenard used during the initial preparation of hydrogen peroxide. In this technique, barium nitrate, purified by recrystallization, was decomposed by heating in air in a porcelain retort. The resulting oxide was further oxidized by heating in a stream of oxygen to a dull red heat. The barium peroxide which formed was then dampened, ground, and dissolved in hydrochloric acid (nitric acid was used in Thenard’s initial experiments). A slight excess of sulfuric acid was then added to precipitate barium sulfate and regenerate hydrochloric acid. The procedure of barium peroxide solution and sulfate precipitation was repeated several times in the same solution to increase the peroxide concentration (concentrations of up to 33 percent by weight hydrogen peroxide could be achieved in this manner). The concentrated solution containing water, hydrogen peroxide, and hydrochloric acid, along with accumulated impurities, was cooled with ice and saturated with barium peroxide; iron and manganese impurities in the solution were then precipitated out as phosphates. The hydrochloric acid was removed by the addition of silver sulfate and the sulfate ion was removed by the subsequent addition of barium oxide. Further concentration was accomplished by vacuum distillation until “no further density increase occurs.” Thenard reported that 100 w/o hydrogen peroxide (on the basis of density data and the measurement of the volume of oxygen released) could be obtained by this technique. The first record of commercial production of hydrogen peroxide appeared in the 1865 to 1875 period.

Botte Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Dennis Irwin Dean, Russ College of Engineering and Technology 3 ABSTRACT PALANIAPPAN, RAMASAMY, Ph.D., December 2013, Chemical Engineering Improving the Efficiency of Ammonia Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production Director of Dissertation: Gerardine G. Botte Given the abundance of ammonia in domestic and industrial wastes, ammonia electrolysis is a promising technology for remediation and distributed power generation in a clean and safe manner. Efficiency has been identified as one of the key issues that require improvement in order for the technology to enter the market phase. Therefore, this research was performed with the aim of improving the efficiency of hydrogen production by finding alternative materials for the cathode and electrolyte. 1. In the presence of ammonia the activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) followed the trend Rh>Pt>Ru>Ni. The addition of ammonia resulted in lower rates for HER for Pt, Ru, and Ni, which have been attributed to competition from the ammonia adsorption reaction. 2. The addition of ammonia offers insight into the role of metal-hydrogen underpotential deposition (M-Hupd) on HER kinetics.

  • Properties of Acids and Bases
    GREEN CHEMISTRY LABORATORY MANUAL Lab 22 Properties of Acids and Bases TN Standard 4.2: The student will investigate the characteristics of acids and bases. Have you ever brushed your teeth and then drank a glass of orange juice? hat do you taste when you brush your teeth and drink orange juice afterwards. Yuck! It leaves a really bad taste in your mouth, but why? Orange juice and toothpaste by themselves taste good. But the terrible taste W results because an acid/base reaction is going on in your mouth. Orange juice is a weak acid and the toothpaste is a weak base. When they are placed together they neutralize each other and produce a product that is unpleasant to taste. How do you determine what is an acid and what is a base? In this lab we will discover how to distinguish between acids and bases. Introduction Two very important classes of compounds are acids and bases. But what exactly makes them different? There are differences in definition, physical differences, and reaction differences. According to the Arrhenius definition, acids ionize in water to + produce a hydronium ion (H3O ), and bases dissociate in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH -). Physical differences can be detected by the senses, including taste and touch. Acids have a sour or tart taste and can produce a stinging sensation to broken skin. For example, if you have ever tasted a lemon, it can often result in a sour face. Bases have a bitter taste and a slippery feel. Soap and many cleaning products are bases.

  • Introduction to Ionic Mechanisms Part I: Fundamentals of Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base Chemistry
    INTRODUCTION TO IONIC MECHANISMS PART I: FUNDAMENTALS OF BRONSTED-LOWRY ACID-BASE CHEMISTRY HYDROGEN ATOMS AND PROTONS IN ORGANIC MOLECULES - A hydrogen atom that has lost its only electron is sometimes referred to as a proton. That is because once the electron is lost, all that remains is the nucleus, which in the case of hydrogen consists of only one proton. The large majority of organic reactions, or transformations, involve breaking old bonds and forming new ones. If a covalent bond is broken heterolytically, the products are ions. In the following example, the bond between carbon and oxygen in the t-butyl alcohol molecule breaks to yield a carbocation and hydroxide ion. H3C CH3 H3C OH H3C + OH CH3 H3C A tertiary Hydroxide carbocation ion The full-headed curved arrow is being used to indicate the movement of an electron pair. In this case, the two electrons that make up the carbon-oxygen bond move towards the oxygen. The bond breaks, leaving the carbon with a positive charge, and the oxygen with a negative charge. In the absence of other factors, it is the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms that drives the direction of electron movement. When pushing arrows, remember that electrons move towards electronegative atoms, or towards areas of electron deficiency (positive, or partial positive charges). The electron pair moves towards the oxygen because it is the more electronegative of the two atoms. If we examine the outcome of heterolytic bond cleavage between oxygen and hydrogen, we see that, once again, oxygen takes the two electrons because it is the more electronegative atom.
