Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012your not required to know why they are coloured. It's not required for our syllabus.(Original post by iesians)
no ! i know why transition metal and their complexed are coloured.
i wanna know why are AZO DYES coloured .
the book just says ..."extensive electron bonding in N=N group'" i dont get it ..?!
Sorry if im patronising but you don't need to know. There might be some articles on the internet which could explain it, if your that curious....... -

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012i was just concerned they may ask about it , its okay. i have one more question....why is phenylamine more soluble in water than butylamine..?!(Original post by James A)

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012Phenylamine has an -OH group?(Original post by Jukeboxing)
I'm guessing its because phenylamine can form more hydrogen bonds(dimers) with water, as it has an -OH group and an amino group where as butylamine just has an amino group.

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012OMG im so sorry i confused you with the question ! i had to ask why is phenylamine LESS soluble than butylamine !! SORRY(Original post by Jukeboxing)

and i think you are confused between phenylamine and phenol.... -

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012In that case, the large non-polarity of phenyl makes it less soluble.(Original post by iesians)

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012so what do we write ..?! that the london forces between phenylamine and water molecules do not release enough energy to break down existing hydrogen bonds between water molecules ??!(Original post by Jukeboxing)

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012The benzene rings breaks more H bonds between H2O than are formed between the amino group and H2O, and water molecules disrupt van der waal forces between phenylamine molecules.(Original post by iesians)

All that is energetically unfavourable, making it less soluble.

does the lone pair on Nitrogen atom get involved in benzene's delocalised electron system , and thus strong hydrogen bonds cannot be made between phenylmine and water molecules ....?!!?! -

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012how do we know if we have to use a burette or a pipette ?! in jan 2012 they asked ..
what would be the most suitable peice of apparatus to remove 10cm3 of sample form the solution?
i thought it could be both burette and pipette, but in the mark scheme answer was PIPETTE and BURETTE was in the reject list ..!! -

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012the lone pair of the nitrogen atom does get involved in 'activating' the benzene ring, but this in effect makes the nitrogen atom less delta negative, hence less strong hydrogen bonds occur between water molecules.....(Original post by iesians)

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012nice!(Original post by iesians)
ahaan i see someones alive here ... thank you very much, i think i got it ..!
I'm currently doing a little biology revision, but it's nice to ocassionally pop back on this thread to refresh my mind on chemistry.

Re: Unit5/unit 4 chemistry - EDEXCEL June 2012yhh, so much to revise!!(Original post by iesians)
hmmmm i reckon biology unit 5 ..?!
I'm giving these exams by best shot and after that, I deserve such a nice break!
thank you very much, i think i got it ..!
