Does anyone understand what an Ionic liquid is? And why it's used in the Friedel Crafts reactions?From my revision guide they are ionic compounds with relatively low melting points - usually less than 100C. Sometimes the melting point is so low they're liquid at room temperature. They're desirable in industrial reactions over organic solvents because they are less volatile, less flammable, often less toxic, and they are easier to re-use and so reduce waste. Friedel-Crafts can be performed with them by adding AlCl3 to form a catalyst-solvent system which means the reactions can be performed at lower temperatures than with normal solvents, saving energy.
Apparently, anyway...

Re: OCR B F335 - Chemistry by Design - 13th June 2012im sure this is f334..... it never comes up in f335 papers... only experimental teqnique is gal-liquid chromotography.(Original post by Cleoleo)
Could someone tell me what refluxing is and why it's good please?
but anyway its heating something in a tube attatched to a vertical condensor then heat gently to oxidise?
not a good definition but I havent revised it in ages -
Re: OCR B F335 - Chemistry by Design - 13th June 2012Single bonds are longer in length than double bonds. The Kekule structure proposed benzene contained double and single bonds alternating. If this was the case, benzene would have to have different bond lengths between the carbon atoms, but it doesn't, which is why the Kekule structure did not account for it.(Original post by Princess Kawaii)
I don't understand the last point. Can u/anyone explain it?
I thought that in the new model the bonds are of equal length which is the length inbetween the length of single bonds and double bonds -

Re: OCR B F335 - Chemistry by Design - 13th June 2012Refluxing is good because it prevents the loss of reactants that are highly flammable and volatile, ensures a high yield of product.(Original post by mortaz786)

Re: OCR B F335 - Chemistry by Design - 13th June 2012Reflux means heating strongly but in a an enclosed system where none of the reactants evaporate away. If that happened you would have a dry flask by the end.(Original post by Cleoleo)

Re: OCR B F335 - Chemistry by Design - 13th June 2012
guys, if something doesn't dissolve in water, is it basically because more energy is required to break the water bonds than the energy released when bonds are made??
(does it include breaking the dipole bonds in the substance too or just water?? ) -
Re: OCR B F335 - Chemistry by Design - 13th June 2012all you need to know is:
amine group enables dye molecule to form hydrogen bonds with fibre molecules such as cotton, rayon and linen because they contain lots of OH groups, however these are not very colour fast because the hydrogen bonds are not very strong.
carboxylic acid/sulfonic acid help dye attach to -NH- links found in wool and silk. H+ ions move from dye to fibre forming ionic interaction. Better colourfastness.
SO3-Na+ can be added to make the dye more soluble as water dissolves ionic substances.
hope this helps? -

Re: OCR B F335 - Chemistry by Design - 13th June 2012Also the thing about fast reactive dyes forming strong covalent bonds with a fibre because they react with -OH or -NH groups! I think...(Original post by cli121)

Re: OCR B F335 - Chemistry by Design - 13th June 2012oh yeah! they're the most permanant type of dye mainly due to the ability to form covalent bonds(Original post by moodychopin)

Re: OCR B F335 - Chemistry by Design - 13th June 2012Are these two points I've bolded basically the same?(Original post by Bi0logical)
firstly in acids we can assume that the concentration of acid at equilibrium is equal to the concentration of acid initially.
Another assumption is that for every mole of H+ , there is of A-
in buffers:
- all the A- have come from the salt (contribution from the acid is negligible)
- the concentration of the acid in HA is the same as the amount of acid put into the solution.
Thanks!! which revision guide is this from?
