Experiment 9: Recrystallization Thad Tatum Chem 202030-2071-001 Veselin Ruychev 06/03/2020 1. Weigh two aspirin tablets, put them in a 50 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Pour about 5 mL of 95% ethanol in and then the whole thing up in a sand bath. Swirl it until it boils and the tablets dissolve. May have to smash the tablets to make it go faster. Also heat about 3 mL of ethanol in a small flask make sure it hot for filtration. Keep wooden stick warm. Then pour about a ml of the boiling alcohol into a filter pipette to warm it up. Pour the whole thing into the pipette pull the bulb and push it though the cotton filter fast. Pour the 1 mL of the hot ethanol into the flask and rinse it. Then squeeze all that. Make sure it stays warm above the sand bath. Throw away impurities so that pure remains. While stirring and kept hot add 2.5 of deionized water. Remove the flask from the hot bath and wait 10 minutes for it to cool to room temp. Then place it in a ice bath for 15 minutes including 2 to 3 mL of deionized water. Set up vacuum filtration and collect the acetylsalicylic acid rinsing the flaks with minimal water. Drain for about 5 minutes. Transfer the product to the watch glass and let it airdry. Then weigh it and take melting point. Calculate amount of acid in 10 tablets and impurities that’s should have been removed. Calculate percent recovery. Look up melting point of the acid then write conclusions. 2. Give three detailed industrial applications of recrystallization – compounds purified, solvents used, product’s recovery yields, associated waste, costs etc. Three industrial applications of recrystallization are Pharmaceutical: problems “ Many pharmaceutical drugs have poor physiochemical profiles, such as poor solubility in biological fluids”. (1) Most compounds that are purified are poor biological substances that need to be purer. It has a high recovery yield Food sectors: which purifies things such as juice mixes and other crystalized products. This does not have as high recovery yield Chemical: For things such as research involving things as salts and other like substances. This has a low recovery yield. Two more techniques to purify samples are Protein purification: “T he various steps in the purification process may include cell lysis, separating the soluble protein components from cell debris” Sublimation: Which is used to purify samples from solid to gases. Some cons are this process can not be used as easily since this is not a common occurrence. Pros are it is very reliable. Vesko Ruychev Organic Chemistry Labs SCL – 404
3. Conclusions: 3.1. Under what circumstances would you use mixed solvents and a recrystallization purification of unknown compound? When no single solvent can be found that meets all the criteria for crystallization. 3.2. When performing recrystallization purification, what observations would prompt you to perform a hot filtration? The crystallization occurs in hot solution and dissolves in cold solution. 3.3. What problems might arise if a hot solution is vacuum filtered? will result in rapid decrease of pressure resulting in expansion in gaseous state which could lead to explosions if the solvent is volatile. Some problems that might arise are 3.4. When recrystallizing aspirin from tablets, only a small portion of the tablet is the “active” ingredient, the rest is “non-active” binding materials. Recrystallization purification yields 108% recovery of acetylsalicylic acid. In few words, what does this mean? The product obtained has more mass than the tablet itself because the sample was not dried enough. 4. References. 1.
