- What is an azeotropic mixture? Can they be separated using simple or fractional distillation? Can you explain why for each simple and fractional distillation? Detailed explanation please!arrow_forwardPropose a method to separate a mixture containing phenol, benzoic acid, naphthalene, and p-nitroaniline. Phenol is soluble in sodium hydroxide solution but insoluble in neutral water or sodium bicarbonate solution. Benzoic acid is soluble in either sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate solutions. Write out the structures of the molecules in your scheme.arrow_forward1. The reactant (2-methyl-2-butanol) has a limited solubility in water at room temperature. 10.0 mL of 2-methyl-2-butanol will dissolve in ~ 80 mL of water. In this experiment, 10.0 mL of 2-methyl-2-butanol readily dissolved in 20 mL of 12 mol/L aqueous HCl. a. Why does this compound exhibit some solubility in water? Consider intermolecular forces and include a diagram to illustrate the relevant intermolecular forces. Why is it not completely miscible in water (in all proportions)?arrow_forward
- Why do you wash the dichloromethane solution of your reductive amination product with sodium bicarbonate, rather than dilute aqueous HCl? a) Sodium bicarbonate is a good method of removing aldehydes from organic solvent.b) The amine product will be protonated by acid and remain in the aqueous layer as a salt.c) Sodium bicarbonate transfers the amine starting material into the aqueous layer.d) Sodium bicarbonate reacts with leftover NaBH(OAc)3 and removes it from the mixture.arrow_forwardWhat will be the solubility of the sugar if dissolved in boiling water?arrow_forwardTwo Compounds: 3-methylbutyric acid and 4,5-dimethyldecane Suppose you took your two compounds, dissolved them in tertbutyl methyl ether and then added them to a separatory funnel. Now suppose you add in aqueous sodium bicarbonate. _____________________ will be dissolved in the terbutyl methyl ether. ________________________ will be dissolved in the aqueous sodium bicarbonate layer. Draw the EXACT chemical structure that will exist in each of the layers after shaking with sodium bicarbonate. (Is it neutral or charged?)arrow_forward
- Write out the reaction that takes place between the acetylsalicylic acid and sodium bicarbonate and explain why it goes from the organic layer to the aqueous layer, if acetylsalicylic acid is more soluble in dichloromethane than water.arrow_forwardthe eugenol and water distillate you collect is apt to be cloudy, particularly the first part of this distillate. Explain why.arrow_forwardAn organic chemistry laboratory Extraction; the extraction of crude naphtalene- benzoic acid mixture. Naphthalene is a suspect carcinogen and is toxic to aquatic life. Find an alternative pair of molecules that adhere better to the principles of green chemistry and can be separated by extraction using green' solvents. (kindly answer fully)arrow_forward
- Suppose you took your two compounds, dissolved them in tertbutyl methyl ether and then added them to a separatory funnel. Now suppose you add in aqueous sodium bicarbonate and vigorusly shake the contents of the separatory funnel. ethanol will be dissolved in tert butyl methyl ether ether and valeric acid will be dissolved in the aqueous sodium bicarbonate layer. Draw the EXACT chemical structure that will exist in each of the layers after shaking with sodium bicarbonate. (Is it neutral or charged?)arrow_forwardCompounds with a lower boiling point and higher boiling point will what? A. Rapidly cool down in the fractionating column B. Never evaporate C. Rapidly evaporate in the fractionating column D. Be extracted from the higher parts of the fractionating columnarrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of adding sodium carbonate in the mixture of water and water- soluble components obtained from the solid-liquid extraction step of isolation of alkaloids from tea leaves? A.Increases the solubility of alkaloids in water thus ensuring maximum yield B.deprotonates tannins so that they will remain in the aqueous layer during liquid-liquid extraction C.'hydrolyses cellulose thus separating it along with other water-soluble components D.protonates the alkaloid to make the solution acidicarrow_forward
