Boiling of mixtures

JFor boiling of mixtures, the saturation temperature (bubble point) of the final liquid phase (after the desired vaporization has taken place) is to be used to calculate the mean temperature difference. A narrow-boiling-range mixture is defined as one for which the difference between the bubble point of the incoming liquid and the bubble point of the exit liquid is less than the temperature difference between the exit hot stream and the bubble point of the exit boiling liquid. Wide-boiling-range mixtures require a case-by-case analysis and cannot be reliably estimated by these simple procedures. 

CHF in Forced Convective Boiling of Multicomponent Mixtures in Channels. Reviews of critical heat flux data for the forced convective boiling of mixtures are presented by Collier and Thome [3] and by Celata [321], In subcooled boiling and low quality, nucleate boiling predominates and similar effects are observed to those seen with pool boiling. This is exemplified...

Acetylation of amino-compoimd (XI) was earned out with acetic anhydride. By boiling of mixture of this compoimd with glacial acetic acid and acetic anhydride was obtained monoacetyl-derivative (XVII). The same compound was obtained when heated amine (XII) with acetic acid for a short time at 80-90°C. Boiling for 30-40 min mixture which consists of 7 and 8 compounds with ratio approximately 1 1, but by the increase of the boiling time up to 2-3 h practically only diacetyl-derivative (XVIII) was obtained. It should be noted, that there wasn t observed acetylation of pyrrole NH-group during the reaction. 

It should be emphasised that all the processes here described are considered essentially from the practical standpoint. The student should always acquaint himself with the theoretical basis of these operations, for which he should consult any standard text-book of physical chemistry this applies particularly to such processes as the distillation of constant boiling-point mixtures, steam-distillation, ether extraction, etc. 

Hydrolysis of Potassium Ethyl Sulphate. Dissolve about i g. of the crystals in about 4 ml. of cold distilled water, and divide the solution into two portions, a) To one portion, add barium chloride solution. If pure potassium ethyl sulphate were used, no precipitate should now form, as barium ethyl sulphate is soluble in water. Actually however, almost all samples of potassium ethyl sulphate contain traces of potassium hydrogen sulphate formed by slight hydrolysis of the ethyl compound during the evaporation of its solution, and barium chloride almost invariably gives a faint precipitate of barium sulphate. b) To the second portion, add 2-3 drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and boil the mixture gently for about one minute. Cool, add distilled water if necessary until the solution has its former volume, and then add barium chloride as before. A markedly heavier precipitate of barium sulphate separates. The hydrolysis of the potassium ethyl sulphate is hastened considerably by the presence of the free acid Caustic alkalis have a similar, but not quite so rapid an effect. 

The oxime is freely soluble in water and in most organic liquids. Recrystallise the crude dry product from a minimum of 60-80 petrol or (less suitably) cyclohexane for this purpose first determine approximately, by means of a small-scale test-tube experiment, the minimum proportion of the hot solvent required to dissolve the oxime from about 0-5 g. of the crude material. Then place the bulk of the crude product in a small (100 ml.) round-bottomed or conical flask fitted with a reflux water-condenser, add the required amount of the solvent and boil the mixture on a water-bath. Then turn out the gas, and quickly filter the hot mixture through a fluted filter-paper into a conical flask the sodium chloride remains on the filter, whilst the filtrate on cooling in ice-water deposits the acetoxime as colourless crystals. These, when filtered anddried (either by pressing between drying-paper or by placing in an atmospheric desiccator) have m.p. 60 . Acetoxime sublimes rather readily when exposed to the air, and rapidly when warmed or when placed in a vacuum. Hence the necessity for an atmospheric desiccator for drying purposes. 

Use the apparatus shown in Fig. 38, p. 63, using a thermometer reading to 100° and with water running through the vertical condenser. Place in the 25 ml. pear-shaped flask 5 ml. of ethanol, 5 ml. of glacial acetic acid and add carefully with shying i ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid. Attach the flask to the reflux condenser and boil the mixture gently for 10 minutes. 

Place 5 mi. of ethyl acetate in a 100 ml. round-bottomed flask, and add about 50 ml. of 10% sodium hydroxide solution, together with some fragments of ungiazed porcelain. Fit the flask with a reflux water-condenser, and boil the mixture gently over a wire gauze for 30 minutes. Now disconnect the condenser, and fit it by means of a bent delivery-tube (or knee-tube ) to the flask for direct distillation (Fig. 59, or Fig. 23(0), p. 45). Reheat the liquid, and collect the first 10 ml. of distillate, which will consist of a dilute aqueous solution of ethanol. Confirm the presence of ethanol by the iodoform test Test 3, p. 336). 

Add 20 ml. of a mixture of equal volumes of acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid to 10 ml. (10 3 g.) of aniline contained in a 150 ml. conical flask.

To obtain lead formate, add about 100 ml. of water to the distillate and then stir powdered lead carbonate into the gently heated solution until no further effervescence of carbon dioxide occurs. Then boil the mixture vigorously and filter at the pump. 

Add 5 g. of potassium hydrogen tartrate and 5 g. of antimony trioxide (each being finely powdered) to 30 ml. of water contained in a small flask, and boil the mixture under a reflux water-condenser for 15 minutes. Then filter hot, using a Buchner funnel and flask which have been preheated by the filtration of some boiling distilled water. Pour the clear filtrate into a beaker and allow to cool. Potassium antimonyl tartrate separates as colourless crystals. Filter, drain and dry. Yield, 5 g. The product can be recrystallised from hot water, but this is usually not necessary. 

Place I g. of benzamide and 15 ml. of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in a 100 ml. conical flask fitted with a reflux water-condenser, and boil the mixture gently for 30 minutes, during which period ammonia is freely evolved. Now cool the solution in ice-water, and add concentrated hydrochloric acid until the mixture is strongly acid. Benzoic acid immediately separates. Allow the mixture to stand in the ice-water for a few minutes, and then filter off the benzoic add at the pump, wash with cold water, and drain. Recrystallise from hot water. The benzoic acid is obtained as colourless crystals, m.p. 121°, almost insoluble in cold water yield, o 8 g. (almost theoretical). Confirm the identity of the benzoic acid by the tests given on p. 347.

Boil a mixture of 5 ml. (4 g.) of acetonitrile and 75 ml. of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in a 200 ml. flask under a refluxwater-condenser for 30 minutes, when hydrolysis will be complete. Detach the condenser and boil the solution in the open flask for a few minutes to drive off ull free ammonia. Then cool the solution, and add dilute sulphuric acid (i volume of concentrated acid 2 volumes of water)... 

Add in turn benzyl chloride (8 3 g., 8 o ml.) and powdered thiourea (5 gm.) to 10 ml. of 95% ethanol in a 100 ml. flask fitted with a reflux condenser. Warm the mixture on the water-bath with gentle shaking until the reaction occurs and the effervescence subsides then boil the mixture under reflux for 30 minutes. Cool the clear solution in ice-water, filter off the crystalline deposit of the benzylthiouronium chloride at the pump, wash it with ice-cold ethyl acetate, and dry in a desiccator. Yield, 11-12 g., m.p. 170-174°. The white product is sufficiently pure for use as a reagent. It is very soluble in cold water and ethanol, but can be recrystallised by adding ethanol dropwise to a boiling suspension in ethyl acetate or acetone until a clear solution is just obtained, and then rapidly cooling. 

Boil the mixture gently on a sand-bath for 4 hours and then decant into a conical flask and cool. Seed the cold solution if necessary with a trace of a-methylglucoside. The glucoside separates as colourless crystals. When crystallisation ceases, filter the glucoside at the pump, drain, wash quickly with a small quantity of methanol, and then recrystallise from a minimum of methanol. For this purpose methanol of good quality, but not necessarily anhydrous, should be used. The a-methylglucoside is obtained as colourless crystals, m,p. 165°. Yield, 6-7 g. 

Hydrolysis to p-Nitroaniline. For this purpose use 70 sulphuric acid, the usual reagent employed for the hydrolysis of anilides (p. 108). Add 5 g. of the recrystallised />-nitro-acetanilide to 30 ml. of 70%sulphuric acid, and boil the mixture gently under a reflux water-condenser for 20 minutes. Then pour the clear hot solution into about 150 ml. of cold water, and finally add an excess of sodium hydroxide solution until precipitation of the yellow p-nitroaniline is complete. Coo the mixture in ice-water if necessary, and then filter at the pump, wash well... 

The crystalline sodium sulphide (NajS,9H20) used to prepare the disulphide is very deliquescent, and only a sample which has been kept in a well-stoppered bottle and therefore reasonably dry should be used. A sample from a badly-stoppered bottle may contain, in addition to the crystals, a certain amount of aqueous solution, in which hydrolysis and partial decomposition will have occurred such a sample should therefore be rejected. Add 4 2 g. of finely powdered sulphur to a solution of 16 g. of the crystalline sodium sulphide in 60 ml. of water, and boil the mixture gently for a few minutes until a clear solution of the disulphide is obtained. 

Place 30 ml. of pure toluene and 6ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid in a 100 ml. conical flask fitted with a reflux water-condenser. Boil the mixture gently over a gauze for 5 minutes, with frequent and thorough shaking to mix the two layers. Now... 

SULPHANILAMIDE. (Reaction C.) Add 15 g. of the above thoroughly drained sulphonamide to 10 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid diluted with 20 ml. water, and boil the mixture gently under reflux for i hour. Then add 30 ml. of water and heat the mixture again to boiling, with the addition of a small quantity of animal charcoal. Filter the boiling solution, and add powdered sodium carbonate in small quantities to the filtrate with stirring until all eflFervescence ceases and the sulphanilamide is precipitated as a white powder. Cool the mixture thoroughly and filter oflF the sulphanilamide at the pump, wash with water and dry. Yield, ca. 10 g. 

Hydrolysis of />-Tolunitrile. As in the case of benzonitrile, alkaline h> drolysis is preferable to hydrolysis by 70% sulphuric acid. Boil a mixture of 5 g. of p-tolunitrile, 75 ml. of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and 15 ml. of ethanol under a reflux water-condenser. The ethanol is added partly to increase the speed of the hydrolysis, but in particular to prevent the nitrile (which volatilises in the steam) from actually crystallising in the condenser. The solution becomes clear after about i hour s heating, but the boiling should be continued for a total period of 1-5 hours to ensure complete hydrolysis. Then precipitate and isolate the p-toluic acid, CH3CgH4COOH, in precisely the same way as the benzoic acid in the above hydrolysis of benzonitrile. Yield 5 5 g. (almost theoretical). The p-toluic acid has m.p. 178°, and may be recrystallised from a mixture of equal volumes of water and rectified spirit. 

For purification, transfer the acid to a 150 ml. flask containing 60 ml. of water, boil the mixture under reflux, and then add acetic acid in 5 ml. portions down the condenser until almost all the solid has dissolved avoid an excess of acetic acid by ensuring that the solvent action of each addition is complete before the next portion is added. A small suspension of insoluble impurity may remain. Add 2 g. of animal charcoal, boil the solution again for 10-15 minutes, and then filter it through a preheated Buchner funnel. Cool and stir the filtrate, which will deposit pale cream-coloured crystals of the acid. Collect as before and if necessary repeat the recrystallisation. Yield of pure acid, 9 g. m.p. 227-229°. 

Prepare a mixture of 30 ml, of aniline, 8 g. of o-chloro-benzoic acid, 8 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 0 4 g. of copper oxide in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask fitted with an air-condenser, and then boil the mixture under reflux for 1 5 hours the mixture tends to foam during the earlier part of the heating owing to the evolution of carbon dioxide, and hence the large flask is used. When the heating has been completed, fit the flask with a steam-distillation head, and stcam-distil the crude product until all the excess of aniline has been removed. The residual solution now contains the potassium. V-phenylanthrani-late add ca. 2 g. of animal charcoal to this solution, boil for about 5 minutes, and filter hot. Add dilute hydrochloric acid (1 1 by volume) to the filtrate until no further precipitation occurs, and then cool in ice-water with stirring. Filter otT the. V-phcnylanthranilic acid at the pump, wash with water, drain and dry. Yield, 9-9 5 g. I he acid may be recrystallised from aqueous ethanol, or methylated spirit, with addition of charcoal if necessary, and is obtained as colourless crystals, m.p. 185-186°. 

Add 5 g. of powdered potassium cyanide to a mixture of 20 ml. of water and 50 ml. of ethanol contained in a 200 ml. conical flask, and then add 25 mi. (26 g.) of freshly distilled benzaldehyde. Fit the flask with a reflux water-condenser, and boil the mixture gently on a water-bath for 30 minutes, a clear solution being rapidly obtained. Then pour the solution into a beaker and cool the benzoin separates as a crystalline mass... 

Add 5 ml. (5 g.) of acetophenone, 1-25 g. of finely powdered paraformaldehyde, and 3 5 g. of dry dimethylamine hydrochloride to 8 ml. of absolute ethanol, and then boil the mixture under reflux for 1-5 hours. Filter the solution (which is now almost entirely clear) through a preheated filter-funnel, and cool the filtrate in ice-water with stirring. The propiophenone hydrochloride rapidly separates as white crystals filter oflF the crystals at the pump and recrystallise from a small quantity of ethanol m.p. 155-156°. Yield, 2 5 g. 

Add 4 g. of malonic acid to 4 ml. of pyridine, and then add 3 1 ml. of crotonaldehyde. Boil the mixture gently under reflux over an asbestos-covered gauze, using a small Bunsen flame, for 40 minutes and then cool it in ice-water. Meanwhile add 2 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid carefully with shaking to 4 ml. of water, cool the diluted acid, and add it with shaking to the chilled reaction-mixture. Sorbic acid readily crystallises from the solution. Filter the sorbic acid at the pump, wash it with a small quantity of cold water and then recrystallise it from water (ca, 25 ml.). The colourless crystals, m.p. 132-133°, weigh ro-i-2 g. 

Now remove the flask from the water-bath, and slowly add a solution of 5 ml. (5-2 g.) of dry ethyl benzoate in 15 ml. of anhydrous ether down the condenser in small quantities at a time, mixing the contents of the flask thoroughly between each addition. When the boiling of the ether again subsides, return the flask to the water-bath and reheat for a further 15 minutes. Then cool the mixture in ice-water, and carefully pour off the ethereal solution into a mixture of about 60 ml. of dilute sulphuric acid. and 100 g. of crushed ice contained in a flask of about 500 ml. capacity fitted for stearn-distillation, taking care to leave behind any unchanged magnesium.
