Abstract:
This report presents the percentage recoveries found when using the solid-liquid and liquid-liquid extraction techniques to extract a strong acid, weak acid, base, and neutral compound from a mixture. During the solid-liquid section of the experiment, 0.5 M NaHCO , 0.5 M NaOH, 0.5 M HCl, and distilled water are used to dissolve and separate the acid, phenol, and amine solutions from the mixture, leaving the neutral compound remaining. After adding 3 M HCl to the acid and phenol solutions and3 M NaOH to the amine solution, the solutions and solids formed were filtered and the percent recovery of each was calculated. The percent recovery was around a range of 20 % to 22 % for the acid, phenol, and amine, but the neutral had a much higher percentage about 60 %. After using similar techniques for the liquid-liquid extraction section of the experiment, removing the clear lower layer of the two immiscible liquids each time, the percent recovery was around 50 % - 55% for the acid and neutral. The percentages for the phenol and amine were lower. In both sections of the experiment, some percentage of the acid, phenol, amine, and neutral compounds was recovered, so that part of the experiment was successful.
Introduction:
Extraction is defined as a process for separation of compounds in a mixture based on difference in their solubility. Extractions have been in use for centuries, and there are many
The objective of this experiment is to separate a 50:50 mixture of benzoic acid and benzil by using macroscale extraction. In the experiment, organic solvent diethyl ether is used. After adding 1.0 gram of the 50:50 mixture of benzoic acid and benzil to a 25ml Erlenmeyer flask, diethyl ether was added to the flask to dissolve the mixture. Benzoic acid and benzil dissolve in diethyl ether. Once the mixture dissolved in
This experiment combined all the knowledge of the previous labs performed throughout the semester. An unknown mixture containing an organic acid or base and an organic neutral compound in nearly equal amounts needs to be separated to its separate components. An understanding of solubility, extraction, crystallization and vacuum filtration is necessary in order to
In the first acid extraction of benzocaine, the compound was dissolved in the organic solvent of dichloromethane. When the mixture was shaken with HCl, benzocaine’s amine group gained a proton and became more soluble in water than dichloromethane. This allowed the newly formed hydrochloric salt to migrate to the aqueous layer. However, the addition of NaOH to the acidic aqueous layer regenerated benzocaine by deprotonation, making it insoluble in the aqueous layer. The precipitation of an ionic salt was therefore recovered by vacuum filtration and had a tested melting point range of 85.1C-87.4C compared to 88C-90C, the literature melting point of benzocaine. The similarity in melting point ranges, but low percent yield of 30.37% proves that the extract was somewhat successful. Lower yields may be the result of spillage performed in the lab. In the second basic extraction, the organic layer now included benzoic acid and benzamide. When treated with NaOH to deprotonate benzoic acid, the newly formed sodium benzoate transitioned to the aqueous layer as a sodium salt. Benzoic acid is regenerated once again after the addition of HCl and became insoluble in the aqueous layer after protonation. Its precipitation was then filtered out for a 65.87% recovery. Compared to its literature melting point of 122.41C, the resulting 120.9C-123.5C melting range of the sample also supports the accuracy of the separation due to its similarities and high percent yield. In conclusion, the usage of base and acid liquid extraction was mostly successful in this experiment because it was able to efficiently and properly isolate the impure mixture into two separate components of benzocaine and benzoic acid. By performing the techniques of extraction and vacuum filtration, the similarities between literature and tested
The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in
Me and my lab partner, obtained a mixture of a un known proportion from the instructor and then flow the guide line in our lab manual to separate the mixture by applying the separation method motioned in our lab manual pages 33-40 . In this experiment, the separation methods were decantation,
There are millions of different organic compounds. Most of them are found in mixtures and in order to achieve a pure form they need to be separated, isolated, and purified. However, there are endless numbers of possible mixtures, which make it impossible to have a pre-designed procedure for every mixture. So chemists often have to make their own procedures. The purpose of this experiment was to prepare the student to the real world by them designing their own procedure which will help them understand the techniques of separation and purification better. The goal was to extract two of the components of the
Abstract: One mixture of two unknown liquid compounds and one mixture of two unknown solid compounds were separated, isolated, purified, and characterized by boiling point. Two liquid unknowns were separated, isolated, and purified via simple distillation. Then, the process of an acid-base extraction and washing were used to separate two unknown compounds into two crude compounds: an organic acid and a neutral organic compound. Each crude compound was purified by recrystallization, resulting in a carboxylic acid (RCO2H) and a pure organic compound (RZ). The resulting mass of the pure carboxylic acid was 1.688g with a percent recovery of 31.80%, the boiling range was 244-245 °C, and its density was 2.0879g/mL. The resulting mass of the pure organic solid was 2.4902g with a percent recovery of 46.91%, the boiling range was 52.0-53.4°C, and its density was 1.5956 g/mL.
The objective of this extraction experiment was to achieve a comprehensive understanding, as well as master the practice, of the technique of separating various individual components of a compound.
After about 1 minute of shaking, the two layers separated. The organic layer on the top layer (consisted of ethyl acetate and naphthalene) collected for further experiment; by adding Sodium Sulfate into organic phase and filtering the Na2So4 from the solution using the wool. The dried organic layer was weighed to get its mass and the residue of Na2SO4 were rinsed with ethyl acetate under vacuum (rotary evaporator). The acid extract on the bottom layer which is a combination of benzoic acid and NaOH were collected in the 50 mL Erlenmeyer beaker for the recovery of acid.
Answer: Distillation is a method for separating a liquid from a solid or from another liquid in which the liquid is boiled off and then recondensed (Yee, n.d., Distilliation). It works because the substance you are looking to distill is boiled off recondensed and separated. It can be used to purify liquids from solids or from other liquids (Yee, n.d., Distillation).
Objective: The objective of this experiment is to use acid-base extraction techniques to separate a mixture of organic compounds based on acidity and/or basicity. After the three compounds are separated we will recover them into their salt forms and then purify them by recrystallization and identify them by their melting points.

Distillation is a method of separating two volatile chemicals on the basis of their differing boiling points. During this lab, students were given 30 mL of an unknown solution containing two colorless chemicals. Because the chemicals may have had a relatively close boiling point, we had to employ a fractional distillation over a simple distillation. By adding a fractionating column between the boiling flask and the condenser, we were able to separate the liquids more efficiently due to the fact that more volatile liquids tend to push towards the top of the fractionating column, thereby leaving the liquid with the lower boiling point towards the bottom. After obtaining the distillates, we utilized a gas chromatograph in order to analyze the volatile substances in the gas phase and determine their composition percentage of the initial solution. Overall, through this lab we were able to enhance our knowledge on the practical utilization of chemical theories, and thus also demonstrated technical fluency involving the equipment.
The compounds are separated by collecting aliquots of the column effluent as a function of time.
Extraction, as the term is utilized pharmaceutically, includes the partition of restoratively dynamic segments of plant or creature tissues from the idle or latent parts by utilizing particular solvents as a part of standard extraction strategies. The items so acquired from plants are generally polluted fluids, semisolids or powders expected just for oral or outside use. These incorporate classes of arrangements known as decoctions, implantations, liquid removes, tinctures, pilular (semisolid) separates and powdered concentrates. Such arrangements famously have been called galenicals, named after Galen, the second century Greek doctor. The motivations behind institutionalized extraction techniques for rough medications are to achieve the restoratively sought divide and to wipe out the dormant material by treatment with a specific dissolvable known as menstrum. The concentrate along these lines got might be prepared for use as a restorative specialists in the type of tinctures and liquid concentrates, it might be further prepared to be fused in any dose frame, for example, tablets or cases, or it might be fractionated to seclude singular concoction substances, for example, ajmalicine, hyoscine also, vincristine, which are modem drugs. In this way, institutionalization of extraction strategies contributes fundamentally to the last nature of the home grown medication. The concoction properties of the analyte are critical to an extraction, just like the
