DETERMINATION OF SOLUBILITY CLASS

 

The compound is said to be soluble in any solvent if it dissolve to the extent of about 3% (0.1g/3ml). This is achieved by dissolving about 0.1g of solid compound or 3-4 drops of liquid compound in gradual ling increasing of the solvent up to 3ml with shaking.

Discussion on Solvents

Water:

Water is polar solvent with a dielectric constant equal to 80. It has the ability to form hydrogen bonding and can act either as an acid or a base, therefore it can dissolve.

·         Salts of ammonium ion (RNH4+) or organic acid salt with alkali metal cations (RCOO-).

·         Ionic compounds.

·         Polar compounds “like dissolves like”.

·         Organic compounds with low molecular weight (<5 carbon atoms) such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acid.

Water is the first solvent used to determine the solubility class of a compound. If the compound is the water solvent the next step is to test its solubility in ether.

Ether:

Ether is a non-polar solvent having a dielectric constant of 4.3. It cannot form hydrogen bonding, therefore it differs from water in that it cannot dissolve ionic compound such as salts. It dissolve most water insoluble compounds, therefore, in the determination of solubility class, the importance of ether is for water soluble compounds only and no further solubility tests using the remaining solvents are to be done.

According two probability is there.

1.      Compounds soluble in both water and ether.

These compounds

·         Are non-ionic.

·         Contain 5 or less carbon atoms.

·         Contain an active group that is polar and can form hydrogen bonding.

·         Contain only one strong polar group.

2.      Compounds soluble in water only ( but not in ether)

These compounds

·         Are ionic.

·         Contain two or more polar groups with no more than 4 carbon atoms for each polar group.

This group is classified as S2 Class and includes ionic salts such as salts of Carboxylic Acid, Amines and Compounds with more than 1 active group such as Poly Hydroxylated compounds and Carbohydrates.

Note that solubility in ether is tested only for water soluble compounds.  For water insoluble compounds (carboxylic acids) and phenols with electrons withdrawing groups (e.g. NO2). Protons are weakly attached and can be given easily.
                              Compounds soluble in 5% Sodium Hydroxide solution only. This group is given class A2 and it includes Phenols, amides and Amino Acid (Weak acid).Use the left side of the solubility classification scheme i.e. Test solubility in Sodium Hydroxide rather than ether.

5% NaOH and 5% NaHCO3:

Water insoluble compounds must be tested first in 5% NaOH solution which is a basic solvent. It reacts with water insoluble compounds that are capable of donating protons such as strong and weak acids. The stronger the acid the weaker the base. It can react with water insoluble compounds that dissolve in 5% NaOH solution must also be tested for solubility in 5% NaHCO3 solution. Therefore, for water insoluble acidic compounds NaOH solution is considered as a detecting solvent whereas Sodium Bicarbonate solution is called as Sub classified solvent since it can react with strong acid only. That is these two solvents give an idea about the acidity degree of the compound. Note the testing solubility in 5% NaHCO3 solution is not needed if the compound is insoluble in 5% NaOH solution, but rather, 5% HCl would be used two possibilities are there.

1.      Compounds soluble in both bases.

2.      This group is given class A. This class includes strong acids that have the ability to react with the weak bases.

5% HCl:

If the compound is insoluble in water and sodium hydroxide solution, this means that the compound is not an acid but is either a base or a neutral compound. 5% HCl which can dissolve base such as amines is used for such a compound. If compound is soluble in the solvent, than it is given class B. It includes primary, secondary and tertiary amines.

Cold Concentrated H2SO4:

If compound is insoluble in water 5% NaOH and 5% HCl, Solubility in cold conc. H2SO4 should be tested. If compound is soluble in this acid it belongs to class N which includes neutral compounds such as hi molecular weight alcohols, aldihides, ketones, esters and ethers and unsaturated hydrocarbons compounds that are insoluble in cold conc. H2SO4 being to class I which includes inert aliphatic ( saturated) hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, hyloalkanes and aryl halides.
