Green Chemistry Workshop #2:Analytical Chemistry I US – Thai Distance Learning Program January 27, 2010 Professor Kenneth M. Doxsee University of Oregon
The Principles of Green Chemistry • Prevention • Atom Economy • Less Hazardous Synthesis • Designing Safer Chemicals • Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries • Design for Energy Efficiency • Renewable Feedstocks • Reduce Derivatives • Catalysis • Design for Degradation • Real-time Analysis • Inherently Safer Chemistry
Oxygen Content of Air Premise • Measuring the volume change of air in contact with an Fe(II) solution provides a measure of the percent O2 in air. Chemical Concepts • Acidic, basic, amphoteric oxides; direct combination reactions; preparation and properties of O2; physical nature of reactants; acid and base properties; stoichiometry; redox; gas solubility; volume.
Background • Fe(II) oxidizes slowly at pH < 7 • Fe(II) oxidizes quickly at pH > 7. • This allows us to prepare solutions of Fe(II) in contact with air, then to induce the reaction with O2 when we are ready.
Reaction Chemistry FeSO4 + O2 pH < 7 Fe(II) + O2 Fe(III) slow pH > 7 Fe(III) fast Fe(OH)3, Fe2O3, FeOH(SO4), Fe2(SO4)3, …?

Apparatus and Procedure measure final volume of air carefully!! 0.4 mL of 2 M NaOH + 0.5 mL of air 0.4 mL of 0.2 M FeSO4 1 cm flexible transparent tubing (filled with 2 M NaOH) measure initial volume of air carefully!!
Calculations Check limiting reagent: 0.4 ml of 0.2 M FeSO4 = 8.0 x 10-5 moles Fe(II) 0.5 mL of air ~ 0.1 mL of O2 = 4.1 x 10-5 mole O2 PV = nRT N = PV/RT = (760 mm-Hg)(0.001 L) (62.364 L-mmHg-mol-1-K-1)(298 K) There is enough Fe(II) to consume all the O2. R = 0.0821 L-atm-mol-1K-1 = 62.364 L-mmHg-mol-1-K-1
Calculations Vfinal - Vinitial = VO2 % O2 in air = (VO2/Vinitial) x 100%

Other Approaches • Orsat analyzers (alkaline pyrogallic acid and/or • chromium (II) chloride solutions) • Electrochemical determinations • Quenching of room-temperature phosphorescence • Quenching of luminescence • Use of a paramagnetic oxygen analyzer • Hazardous reagents (exposure risks, waste disposal) • Specialized equipment (expensive to purchase and operate) Orsat analyzer image: http://img.tradeindia.com/fp/1/051/525.jpg Paramagnetic O2 analyzer image: http://www.fik-net.co.kr/prod/gas-de.gif
Green Relevance Green Concepts • Safer chemicals and solvents – compare reagents used in other determinations of oxygen content. • Prevention of waste. • Consider Green Principles • #1 (prevent waste) • #2 (atom economy) • #3 (use less hazardous substances) • #8 (avoid derivatives) • #10 (design for degradation) • #11 (real time monitoring) • #12 (use substances in forms that minimize hazards).
CaCO3 Content of Eggshells Premise • CaCO3 reacts with acids to produce CO2. • By measuring the volume of CO2 produced, we can determine how much CaCO3 was present in a sample of eggshell of known mass. Chemical Concepts • Decomposition reactions; reactivities of oxides; preparation of CO2; acid-base properties; stoichiometry; gas law.
Background • Eggshells are constituted primarily of calcite – a crystalline form of CaCO3. • Shell formation is governed by LeChatelier´s principle. Carbonate ions are produced by: CO2(g) + H2O ⇄ CO2 (aq) ⇄ H2CO3 H2CO3 ⇄ H+ + HCO3- HCO3- ⇄ H+ + CO32- • Shell and membranes production occurs in a gland of the urogenital system of the female bird: CO32-(aq) + Ca2+(aq) ⇄ CaCO3(s)
Reaction Chemistry • If the eggshell is treated with an acid, it will dissolve through the reverse of the process by which it is formed. CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) Ca2+(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) • By measuring the volume of CO2 produced, we can determine how much CaCO3 was present.
