CHEM 2203 Experiment 4A & 4B: Use of Equilibrium Distribution & Isolation to Calculate the Partition Coefficient of a Solution of Methylene Chloride, Water, and Benzoic Acid, and a Solution of Benzoic Acid, Methylene Chloride, and Sodium Bicarbonate, all at a Microscale Level Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to utilize the found data concerning the extraction of the dissolved solute within the solvent to determine two partition coefficients. This lab will use many techniques including: weighing containers and benzoic acid with an electronic scale, use of both automatic and manual pipettes to deliver liquids to their appropriate containers, and extraction of the intended solute through a heater block. Experimental Procedure: The procedure for this experiment was provided by Mayo and can be found between pages 141 and 147. Additional modifications to the procedure included: Use of 0.083 grams of benzoic acid instead of the intended 0.075 grams. Reaction Scheme: 4A: No reaction occurred during experiment 4A. 4B: The combination of sodium bicarbonate and benzoic acid formed sodium benzoate and carbonic acid in experiment 4B.
Data and Results: Benzoic Acid Methylene Chloride Water 10% Sodium Bicarbonate Mol.

All of the solvents used were originally clear, viscous liquids.
The organic layer of methylene chloride layered on the top for experiment 4B and settled to the bottom for experiment 4A. The weight for the screw cap test tube containing a boiling stone was 11.4 grams for experiment 4A. The weight for the screw cap test tube containing a boiling stone was 11.410 grams for experiment 4B. After heating the test tube containing the mixture using the heater block, the weight was 11.430 grams for experiment 4A. The constant mass of the test tube containing the mixture using the heater block for experiment 4A was 11.430 grams. After heating the test tube containing the mixture using the heater block, the weight was 11.802 grams for experiment 4B. The constant mass of the test tube containing the mixture using the heater block for experiment 4B was 11.797 grams. During the second part of the 4B experiment the test tube cracked in half, all values used are accredited to Sarah Strait. The partition coefficient calculation will not be correct for experiment 4B because there was a remaining amount of 10% sodium bicarbonate in the test tube after collecting the final constant mass of the test tube. Calculations: K p = (mg of benzoic acid in the methylene chloride layer / amount of organic solvent used)/ (mg of benzoic acid in the aqueous water layer / amount of aqueous solvent used) Experiment 4A: 1. mg of benzoic acid in the methylene chloride layer 11.430 grams - 11.400 grams = 0.030 grams or 30 mg 2. mg of benzoic acid in the aqueous water layer 0.083 grams - 0.030 grams = 0.053 grams or 53 mg 3.
