Containers chlorine

Commercial compounds are oil-soluble organic molecules containing chlorine, sulfur or phosphorus atoms (Figure 9.12). 

Principle. An organic compound which contains chlorine is mixed with sodium peroxide and ignited in a closed metal bomb. The chlorine is thus converted to sodium chloride, and after acidification the chloride is estimated by the Volhard volumetric method. Bromine and iodine, when constituents of organic compounds similarly treated, are converted largely into sodium bromate and iodate respectively these ions are therefore subsequently reduced by hydrazine to bromide and iodide ions, and estimated as before. 

Apply the test to compounds which contain chlorine or bromine. If the compound is a solid, dissolve 0 1 g. in the minimum volume of pure, dry acetone. To 1 ml. of the sodium iodide acetone reagent add 2 drops of the compound (if a hquid) or the acetone solution (if a sohd). Shake and allow to stand at room temperature for 3 minutes. Note whether a precipitate is formed and also whether the solution acquires a reddish-brown colour (liberation of iodine). If no change takes place at rocrm temperature, place the test-tube in a beaker of water at 50°. After 5 minutes, cool to room temperature, and observe whether a reaction has occurred. 

The peak at m/z 77 m the mass spectrum of chlorobenzene m Figure 13 41 is attributed to this fragmentation Because there is no peak of significant intensity two atomic mass units higher we know that the cation responsible for the peak at m/z 77 cannot contain chlorine... 

Compounds that contain chlorine, bromine, sulfur, or silicon are usually apparent from prominent peaks at masses 2, 4, 6, and so on, units larger than the nominal mass of the parent or fragment ion. Eor example, when one chlorine atom is present, the P + 2 mass peak will be about one-third the intensity of the parent peak. When one bromine atom is present, the P + 2 mass peak will be about the same intensity as the parent peak. The abundance of heavy isotopes is treated in terms of the binomial expansion (a -I- h) , where a is the relative abundance of the light isotope, b is the relative abundance of the heavy isotope, and m is the number of atoms of the particular element present in the molecule. If two bromine atoms are present, the binomial expansion is... 

This example can be used in reverse to show the usefulness of looking for such isotopes. Suppose there were an unknown sample that had two molecular ion peaks in the ratio of 3 1 that were two mass units apart then it could reasonably be deduced that it was highly likely the unknown contained chlorine. In this case, the isotope ratio has been used to identify a chlorine-containing compound. This use of mass spectrometry is widespread in general analysis of materials, and it... 

A diagrammatic illustration of the effect of an isotope pattern on a mass spectrum. The two naturally occurring isotopes of chlorine combine with a methyl group to give methyl chloride. Statistically, because their abundance ratio is 3 1, three Cl isotope atoms combine for each Cl atom. Thus, the ratio of the molecular ion peaks at m/z 50, 52 found for methyl chloride in its mass spectrum will also be in the ratio of 3 1. If nothing had been known about the structure of this compound, the appearance in its mass spectrum of two peaks at m/z 50, 52 (two mass units apart) in a ratio of 3 1 would immediately identify the compound as containing chlorine. 

Synergists. The effect of antimony oxide on the flammabiUty of unsaturated polyesters that contain chlorine is shown in Table 11. A similar effect on the flammabiUty of unsaturated polyester containing 2inc stannates and bromine instead of chlorine is given in Table 12.

Properties. The physical properties of aHphatic fluorine compounds containing chlorine are similar to those of the PECs or HECs (3,5). They usually have high densities and low boiling points, viscosities, and surface tensions. The irregularity in the boiling points of the fluorinated methanes, however, does not appear in the chlorofluorocarbons. Their boiling points consistently increase with the number of chlorines present. The properties of some CECs and HCECs are shown in Tables 3 and 4. 

The reaction of S2CI2 with 1,5-hexadiene gives cycHc sulfide containing chlorines 1 and 11 which at 20°C give upon isomerization the stable mixture of 35% (I) and 65% (II) (143). 

Sulfur monochloride [10025-67-9] S2CI2, and sulfur dichloride,SCl2, react with unsaturated materials, forming products that are cross-linked by sulfur but which also contain chlorine (eq. 7) (10). 

The costs of building and maintaining a bromine plant are high because of the corrosiveness of brine solutions which contain chlorine and bromine and require special materials of constmction. The principal operating expenses are for pumping, steam, environmental costs, energy, and chlorine. The plants are very capital intensive. 

Chlorine dioxide gas generated from chlorite has been used as a chemosterilizing agent substitute for ethylene oxide in medical appHcations (174,175). Aqueous foam compositions containing chlorine dioxide have also been developed for the sanitization of hard surfaces (176). 

Among unsaturated C—N—N three-membered rings only the 3H-diazirines (3) are known. IH-Diazirines with a C=N double bond were never obtained. Diazirines with one or two alkyl groups at carbon were prepared in many cases, aryldiazirines only in some cases. An important role is played by difluorodiazirine as well as by diazirines containing chlorine or bromine (9).

These compounds are particularly advantageous for equipment exposed to low temperatures. This plastic containing chlorinated ethylene does not differ significantly in chemical resistance from rigid PVC, but does have a slightly lower creep strength. 

Flame Retardants. Most polymers, because they are organic materials, are flammable. Additives that contain chlorine, bromine, phosphorous or metallic salts reduce the likelihood that combustion will occur or spread. 

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) include organic compounds with appreciable vapor pressure. They make up a major class of air pollutants.I his class includes not only pure hydrocarbons but also partially oxidized hydrocarbons (organic acids, aldehydes, ketones), as well as organics containing chlorine, sulfur, nitrogen, or other atoms in the molecule. 

The haloform reaction of unsymmetrical perfluoroalkyl and co-hydroper-fluoroalkyl trifluororaethyl ketones gives the alkane corresponding to the longer alkyl chain [54] (equation 53) If the methyl group contains chlorine, the reaction can take different pathways, leading to loss of chlorine (equation 54), because of the variable stability of the chlorine-substituted methyl carbanions in alkali. 

A few essential oils contain substances which can be easily synthesised, by processes in which the use of chlorine is involved. Su oils are-frequently adulterated with the synthetic product. If this contains chlorine—which is very frequently the case, on account of the difiSculty in removing the last traces of this hody—its detection becomes of importance, as the presence of a trace of chlorine is evidence of the presence-of the artificial compound. 

On September 6, 1987, the European Economic Community and the United States signed a phase-out agreement for the manufacture and use of specific refrigerants containing chlorine and bromine in the hydrocarbon molecule because of the effects on the atmosphere s ozone layer. ° See Reference 20, p. 18.1, for a more detailed history of this... 

A fluid-bed reactor is used at moderate pressures at approximately 450°C. The reactor effluent, containing chlorinated organics, water, a small amount of HCl, carbon dioxide, and other impurities, is condensed in a water-cooled graphite exchanger, cooled in a refrigerated condenser, and then scrubbed. Separation of perchlor from the trichlor occurs by successive distillation. Figure 7-6 shows the PPG process. 

Predict the order of increasing melting point of these substances containing chlorine HC1, d2, NaCl, CC14. Explain the basis of your prediction. 

Ensure that the laboratory in which the apparatus is housed is well ventilated and is provided with an adequate exhaust system having air-tight joints on the discharge side some organic solvents, especially those containing chlorine, give toxic products in a flame.
