Ardon 1 Date: March 14, 2019 Separation of Phensuprin into Three Different Components using Acid-Base Extraction February 21+ 28, 2019 Abstract: In this extraction experiment, the purpose was to separate Phensuprin into three different components consisting of, aspirin, sucrose, and acetanilide in order to determine how much of each component was present in the mixture. Therefore, the isolation, concentration and purification of each component was followed through in the mixture. Lastly, the purity of each component was determined by observing the melting point of each. Synthetic Equations: Chemical Properties: Table 1: Physical Properties of Chemicals Used in the Separation of Phensuprin using Acid-Base Extraction Name Structure Molar mass (g/mol) Melting Point (°C) Boiling Point (°C) Density (g/mL) Hazards Acetylsalicylic acid 180.16 135 140 1.4 Irritant Acetanilide 135.16 114.3 -- 1.22 Toxic Sucrose 342.30 186 -- 1.59 None

Exact value of this weight was recorded. Dichloromethane (50mL) was added to phensuprin sample and mixture continuously stirred with a glass stirring rod. Stirring was continued until no more solid appeared to dissolve, and clumps of solid were broken down during stirring process. Piece of filter paper weighed, mixture filtered through weighed filter paper. Sucrose (collected solid) washed with dichloromethane (5mL). Filter paper with sucrose placed in beaker and left to dry until following week. Filtrate added to a separatory funnel and extracted with two portions of 5% sodium bicarbonate solution (25mL). Layers separated, dichloromethane layer drained into Erlenmeyer flask (125mL). Aqueous layer from funnel poured into a beaker (400 mL). Dichloromethane layer returned to the funnel and same steps were repeated with second portion of sodium bicarbonate solution. Two aqueous layers combined and saved. Dichloromethane layer was saved for following step. Organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate. After swirling, filter through filter paper into a weighted round-bottom flask (100mL). Dichloromethane evaporated using rotary evaporator till solvent was removed. Present was acetanilide component as a solid, which was saved in a round bottom flask for next class period. Combined aqueous layers were cooled in a ice bath and concentrated hydrochloric acid (10 ml) was slowly added in several portions. Foaming occured. Beaker between hydrochloric acid was swirled and lastly pH of solution was tested. Aqueous solution in ice bath continued to be cooled until acetylsalicylic acid (solid) formed. Solid was collected via vacuum filtration and washed with cold water (5ml). When filtration was dried and solid collected was placed in a Buchner funnel (solid + filter paper) and saved for following class period. Weight of all components taken, subtracted was: filter paper, round bottom flask mass, and watch glass. Percent recovery/composition then calculated. Calculations: (%): ??????? ????????
