4. The proton NMR spectrum of chlorobenzene was examined by Hiyamizu and coworkers in 1968. Their analysis revealed the following chemical shifts. The hydrogens ortho to the chlorine are at 7.28 ppm. The hydrogens meta to the chlorine are at 7.23 ppm. The hydrogen para to the chlorine is at 7.16 ppm.

A) Use arrow formalisms to draw resonance structures of chlorobenzene using the chlorine as an electron donor.

B) One might expect that the positions that have negative charges (and hence excess electron density) in the resonance structures would be the most upfield, but this is not the case. Explain why, and explain why the chemical shifts appear where they do relative to each other.

Question to answer after EXPERIMENT OF SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF TRACE Fe

Principles The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of iron present as a trace constituent (ppm) in an aqueous sample by a spectrophotometric method. One of the most sensitive methods for the determination of iron involves the formation of the orange-red iron (II) orthophenanthroline complex. This complex has an absorption maximum at 508 nm, is stable over a long period of time, and follows Beer's Law quite faithfully.

The chemistry involved is straightforward. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is used to reduce all Fe3+ present to Fe2+. Since orthophenanthroline (abbreviated as phen) is a weak base and an acid medium must be used in order to prevent precipitation of the iron as Fe(OH)2, the principal complexing species is the phenanthrolium ion (phenH+ ). The complex formation reaction:

Fe2+ + 3phenH+  Fe(phen)3 2+ + 3H+

has an equilibrium constant of 2.5 x 106 , so complex formation may be considered quantitative. Although pH control is not essential, too high of an H+ concentration (pH<2) can inhibit formation of the complex, while too high of a pH can cause the loss of iron by precipitation. Thus, the solution is buffered to be to about a pH of 3.5.

Since the system obeys Beer's Law, above, a plot of absorbance at 508 nm versus iron concentration yields a straight line. Thus, one can prepare a set of standard solutions of known concentrations, establish a straight line, and prepare the unknown solution in exactly the same way. If the absorbance of the unknown solution is measured, the unknown concentration may be determined from the analytical curve generated with the standard solutions.

Questions:

1. The ferrous ammonium sulfate used as a standard in this experiment is not of primary standard quality, yet you were not instructed to standardize this reagent 81 before use. Why is it not necessary to standardize this analytical reagent before use in this experiment? Explain.

2. Describe two reasons why deviations to Beer's Law (i.e. nonlinearity) can occur.

3. The sensitivity of spectrophotometric methods can greatly exceed sensitivities attainable with classical wet chemical methods. How do the Fe concentrations analyzed in this spectrophotometric experiment compare with the Fe concentrations used in the redox titration experiment? Be quantitative!

I got 1.15 grams but im not sure if i am doing this right

When performing a REAGENT BLANK in chemistry, do you add or subtract the volume of the blank determination from the volume of titrant to get the corrected volume of titrant used? In this particular experiment we are determining Ca2+ and Mg2+ in natural water samples. And, do you always add or subtract the blank reagent or does it change with reactions? Probably simple questions but they have me completely stumped. Thanks!
