During a solvent extraction, a student lost track of which layer was the aqueous layer and which layer was the organic layer. What simple, non-destructive test could be used to determine which layer is which?
a. add a little distilled water to see which layer the water adds to
b. obtain a sample of the solution in the seperatory funnel and ultilize IR
c. ask the instructor if you can perform a supercritical extraction of the sample
c. obtain a sample of solution in seperatory funnel and utilize NMR
answer
a. add a little-distilled water to see which layer the water adds to
depending density of organic solvent-water layer can be top or bottom when we add little water you can absorb water addition or repulsion which helps to identify water layer

Acid/Base Extraction
1. Provide a flow chart detailing the acid/base
extraction/separation of the compounds shown below. Your answer
must employ the following reagents: methylene chloride,
hydrochloric acid (1M & 6M), sodium hydroxide (1M & 6M),
10% sodium bicarbonate (aq). Clearly indicate the product(s) and
layers formed following each step of your separation scheme.
IMPORTANT: p-cresol is soluble in sodium hydroxide solution but
insoluble in neutral water or sodium bicarbonate solution. 2-
ethylbenzoic acid is soluble in both sodium hydroxide and...
Acid/Base Extraction Liquid-liquid extraction is a technique that can be used to physically separate two substancesthat have varying solubility properties. Typically an aqueous solution can be extracted with anorganic solvent to isolate a compound or vice-versa. The specialized piece of glassware that isemployed for these types of separations is called a separatory funnel.In this experiment a mixture of benzoic acid and naphthalene will be purified using liquid-liquidextraction, more specifically an acid-base extraction. Since both compounds are soluble inethyl acetate (an...
1)When you perform a liquid-liquid extraction using a separatory funnel, which of the following organic solvent is on the bottom of the aqueous phase and which is on top? (write your answer by the solvent name) a) Ethyl acetate b) hexane c) Dichloromethane d) diethyl ether 2) If you are performing a liquid-liquid extraction and you have a mix of a carboxylic acid and a non-acidic compound, which combination of solvents would you use for the separation? a) dichloromethane/HCI b)...
Need help on providing reactions that describe the acid-base
extraction and neutralization processes used in this experiment.
Provide a statement of solubility of each starting material and
product.
The experiment to be performed this week involves liquid-liquid extraction using a separatory funnel. Read chapter 15 in Zubrick to familiarize yourself with the use of the glassware for extraction and washing. Acid/Base Extraction Liquid-liquid extraction is a technique that can be used to physically separate two substances that have varying solubility...
HW.4 & 5
Liquid-Liquid Extraction HW4. A student wishes to separate a mixture of the two compounds shown below. They intend to use liquid-liquid extraction to do so. NH Aniline Naphthalene A) Aniline has an amine functionality and naphthalene is purely a hydrocarbon compound. An amine functional group is acidic, basic, or neutral? asic B) Given your answer to A, fill in the missing portions of the diagram that describe the process of the separation for aniline and naphthalene. Aqueous...

5. Suppose you are trying to separate butanoic acid and 4-iodotoluene via extraction with diethyl ether and water. (a) Look up the structures and draw them below. Predict which reagent would have a greater preference/affinity for the diethyl ether layer (1 pt) (b) Which solvent will be on the bottom in the separatory funnel (or conical vial) (1 pt)? (c) U to the butanoic acid and which layer would it prefer- aqueous or o pon treatment of butanoic acid with...
Extraction of solids: Experiment outlined below
Draw a “roadmap” of the experiment, containing chemical
structures and “layers” (organic and aqueous). This should contain
the individual reactions occurring in each step, and show which
layer the various components are present. Make sure you think about
whether the acetaminophen, caffeine and aspirin are neutral,
protonated or deprotonated.
Preliminary separation obtain a sample (1.0g) of the mixture. weigh the sample and record it. this sample should consist of a 2:1:1 mixture (by mass)...
Help with PreLab questions 1-4
Procedure Esterification Each group will be assigned an unknown alcohol by the instructor. Record the unknown number and then add the contents of the vial (25 mmol of alcohol) to a 50 mL round bottom flask with a stir bar Then add 2.75 mL (approx. 50 mmol) of acetic acid followed by 0.25 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid Add a reflux condenser then reflux the mixture in a sand bath with stirring for one hour....
Construct a flow chart describing the seperation of the
mixture and the isolation of each compound in this experiment. (Lab
steps/procedures includes for reference)
4. Construct a flow chart describing the separation of the mixture and the isolation of each compound in this experiment. A commonly used method of separating a mixture of organic compounds is known as liquid-liquid extraction. Most reactions of organic compounds require extraction at some stage of product purification. In this experiment you will use extraction...
