Interpretation: The reason of performing a simple distillation needs to be determined from the given options.
Concept Introduction: Solvent extraction method is also called as liquid-liquid extraction. It is the method that is used to separate compounds on the basis of their relative solubility in two different immiscible solvents.
Here, the immiscible solvents cannot get mixed up together therefore they make two separate layers. In the extraction of a solute from one liquid, another immiscible solvent must be used. Usually water is used with certain organic solvent as organic solvent and water are immiscible into each other. At equilibrium the ratio of concentration of solute is constant in each layer that can be represented by partition coefficient or distribution coefficient. It is the ratio of the concentration of a substance in one medium (C1) to the concentration in a second medium (C2) at equilibrium.

- Why is it not necessary to dry the Erlenmeyer flask between each trial?arrow_forwardWhy is methanol chosen as the solvent for recrystallization? What would happen if the student uses dichloromethane instead?arrow_forwardIn which case you would used a mic solvent recrystallization? Explain, give an examplearrow_forward
- Based on your observations during our experiment, would water make a suitable solvent for the recrystallization of benzoic acid that is significantly contaminated with fluorene using the method employed in our experiment? If not, suggest a technique that might be used to improve the outcome using water as the solvent. Simple and fractional distillation was the method used during the lab to purify substances and purified substance was separated from solvent using filtration.arrow_forwardWhy is the final product from the crystallization process isolated by vacuum filtration and not by gravity filtration?arrow_forwardThe key to a successful HPLC procedure is good sample separation which is represented by a clean peak for each individual compound. What should we do to ensure a good sample preparation? A. Use a column and a mobile phase with different polarity B. Use a column and a mobile phase with the same polarity C. Use a lower temperature higher than the mobile phase boiling point D. All of thosearrow_forward
- What is the effect of weighing a recrystallized organic solid which is not completely dried to the percentage yield? Elaborate.arrow_forwardDuring heating, some solution of NaCl splattered out of the evaporating dish. How would this affect the calculated percentage of mixture recovered upon separation?arrow_forwardWhy should the recrystallization solvent have a fairly low boiling point?arrow_forward
- Which of the following should be done if there is no recrystallization due to the unsaturation of the solution? (mixed solvent recrystallization) a. Crystal seeding b. Scratching the inner walls or bottom of container c. Further boiling of solvent d. Adding small amount of samplearrow_forwardWhat could have gone wrong in the separation and purification process to result in the disparity from the observed and expected yields? Select all that apply A) Both the benzoic acid and sand may have been wet before the student recorded the masses, hence the increase in expected masses. B) The student may have filtered the benzoic acid while cold. Hence the sand could have been contaminated with benzoic acid and resulted in a higher mass for sand. C) The sand may have dissolved in the hot water along with the benzoic acid, hence, the recorded mass for benzoic acid was more. D)The benzoic acid may have been cooled down too quickly on ice thereby allowing other soluble impurities to crystallize with benzoic acid causing the increase in the expected massarrow_forwardPropose an efficient separation and recovery scheme for a mixture of toluene, benzoic acid, andaniline. Consider that steam distillation is not an option.arrow_forward
