Which statement about liquid-liquid extraction is not correct? * A- A solvent must be available that is miscible with the solution containing the substance to be extracted. B- The solvent used for extraction must have a good ability to dissolve the desired substance. C- The denser solution forms the bottom layer in the extraction funnel. D- The extraction funnel must be vented during the extraction procedure to prevent excessive build-up of pressure inside the extraction funnel. E- All these statements are correct.
The best liquid mixtures for separation by simple distillation need to have boiling points that differ by at least ___________ oC. 10 20 30 40
The liquid-liquid extraction is the classical technique in chemistry to isolate a target component from a mixture. Organic Solvent is the usual solvent being used along with water. TRUE or FALSE
6.0 mL of cyclohexanol, 8 mL of 85% phosphoric acid, and 10 drops of sulfuric acid are added to a 50-mL round-bottom flask with boiling chips, and the mixture is distilled into an ice-cooled receiver. The distillate is in the form of a colorless bi-phasic mixture. The cyclohexene upper layer is removed from the water layer, and dried over anhydrous calcium chloride. Isolated is cyclohexene as a clear and colorless foul-smelling liquid. Weighing data is given below. Gross mass: 51.24 g Tare mass: 48.04 g Product mass: 3.2g Question: Calculate the theoretical mass of the cyclohexene product, bearing in mind that the cyclohexanol starting material was measured by volume, not by mass (so you must use the density of cyclohexanol to convert milliliters to grams, before calculating the number of moles). Calculate the percent yield of cyclohexene obtained.
