A Grignard reagent was generated by reacting 1‑bromobutane with magnesium metal in THF solution. Addition of 2‑butanone and ammonium chloride generated the desired alcohol product. The reaction mixture was washed with sodium bicarbonate, then the THF layer was dried over magnesium sulfate. The product was distilled from THF. Identify where the waste generated by this reaction should go.
1. Match the chemical wastes generated in this reaction with appropriate options in below: into the appropriate container.
Chemical Waste:
Aqueous waste
Solid waste
Chlorinated organic waste
Non-Chlorinated organic waste
Broken glass
Options:
sodium bicarbonate solution
magnesium sulfate
magnesium metal
Magnesiumg sulfate
rinse acetone
pasteur pipet
THF

Respuesta :

Chemical waste: magnesium sulfate

  • It is used as a drying agent in Grignard reaction.

Aqueous waste: sodium bicarbonate solution

  • It is used to wash reaction mixture.

Solid waste: magnesium metal

  • Out of the given options, it is the only solid component.

Chlorinated organic waste: THF

  • THF is an organic chlorinated solvent. The increased boiling temperature of THF enhances the speed of Grignard reaction.  

Non-Chlorinated organic waste: rinse acetone

  • It is less toxic to environment as compared to chlorinated waste.

Broken glass: Pasteur pipette

  • It is glassware.
