EXTRACTION SEPARATION OF BENZOIC ACID FROM A MIXTURE OF BENZOIC ACID AND NAPHTHALENE

12 of 78
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:
1. Weigh to two decimal places, about 2 g of the mixture of benzoic acid and naphthalene
and transfer it to a 100 mL conical flask. Record the mass, accurately, in the results
report.
2. Add about 40 mL of ethyl acetate (an organic solvent) into the conical flask and shake
it gently until all the solid has dissolved.
3. Make sure that the tap of a separating funnel is closed. Pour the solution into the
separating funnel.

4. Add approximately 20 mL of 2M NaOH, place the stopper onto the separating funnel
and hold the separating funnel with both hands. Turn the funnel upside down and shake
it pointing the stem away from other students. Vent the funnel to release the pressure
after shaking by holding on to the stopper securely and slowly opening the tap. Repeat
the shaking and venting process few more times until the sound of the vapors released
is no longer audible.
5. Clamp the separating funnel on a stand, remove the stopper and let the layers separate.
After the layers have separated, run off the lower (aqueous) layer into a 250 mL beaker.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 with another 20 mL portion of 2M NaOH, and add the lower layer to
the extract in the beaker. The benzoic acid (in form of a salt, benzoate) has now been
