Title: Determining a partition Coefficient for the system of benzoic acid in Methylene Chloride and 10% Sodium Bicarbonate, Experiment 4B, Objective: To determine the partition coefficient of Benzoic Acid (aromatic ketone) in two immiscible solvents. These solvents that will be used in this experiment are dichloromethane (methylene chloride) and 10% sodium bicarbonate solution. Procedure: The procedure described in Mayo was followed on pages 144-145, in addition to the
modifications document located on canvas. Modifications made to this experiment includes:
4A
75mg of benzoic acid and 1.0ml each of methylene chloride and water
A 20ml separatory funnel was used instead of a 5ml conical vial.
10% sodium bicarbonate solution was used instead of water.
The solution was transferred to a test tube rather than a 5ml conical vial.
Anhydrous sodium sulfate was used as the drying agent instead of magnesium sulfate. 4B
75mg of benzoic acid and 1.0ml each of methylene chloride and 10% sodium bicarbonate
solution was used.
A 5ml conical vial was used as stated in the lab manual.
The methylene chloride layer from the conical vial was transferred using a simple glass pipette instead of a filter pipette.
The solution was then transferred to a test tube rather than a conical vial.
Like 4A, anhydrous sodium sulfate was used and not magnesium sulfate.

Observations:
Benzoic acid, which is a white solid, dissolved and formed a clear solution.
The top layer (aqueous layer) had a colorless appearance, while the organic or bottom layer appeared cloudy.
Calculations:
1)
Benzoic acid in CH2Cl2 = (final weight of vial + solid + boiling stone) – (weight of vial +boiling stone). 4.855- 4.824 = 0.031g / 31mg benzoic acid (4A)
4.975- 4.958= 0.017g/ 17mg (4B)
2)
Benzoic acid remaining in aqueous layer (either water for 4A or 10% sodium bicarbonate
solution for 4B
0.075g -0.031g= 0.044g/ 44 mg (4A)
0.075g – 0.017= 0.058g. 58mg
3)
Benzoic acid KpCH2Cl2/H2O for 4A and KpCH2Cl2/aq. NaHCO3 for 4B
Note that for Experiment 4B, this calculation does not provide a true partition coefficient.
because benzoic acid is chemically modified in the procedure. The value is still useful for
illustrating the distribution of benzoic acid and its derivatives between the two phases
4A: 44mg/31mg =1.419
Kp=1.419
4B: 58mg/ 17mg
=3.142
Kp= 3.142
Questions
: Answer the following questions. Be as complete as possible, and always explain your reasoning.
1. Laboratory glassware comparison for solvent extraction: conical vial vs separatory funnel...
a) According to your experience, which piece of laboratory glassware did you find to be
more efficient for the solvent extraction procedure, and why?
I found the separatory funnel more efficient when performing solvent extraction as it allowed the separation of the two distinguish layers to be done more uniformly, by lowering the risk of cross contamination of the distinguish layers or phases. However, this occurrence is likely to occur when using a conical vial and glass pipette, thus lowering precision and accuracy.
b) Assuming ideal separatory funnel performance (complete phase separation and no loss of
solvent into the stem during venting), which piece of laboratory glassware do you think.
provides a more accurate determination of the partition coefficient, and why?
If a separatory funnel is used ideally, is more likely to yield results closer to that of the or accepted value of an experiment, thus more precise measurements can be achieved.
2. Consider the calculated partition coefficients for Experiments 4A and 4B.
a)
Was there a significant difference in the two Kp values? If so, which one was larger?
The Kp value attained (1.419) for 4A was much smaller than the Kp value calculated for 4B (3.412). This difference in the calculated Kp values is significant to some degree.

b)
Provide an explanation for your answer in part (a). Be as complete and specific as possible.
Hint: remember what was discussed during the breakup rooms during this lab.
The significant difference in Kp values attained for 4A and 4B can be as a result of substituting water for sodium bicarbonate in part B producing a neutralization reaction
due to the combination of sodium bicarbonate (base) and benzoic acid which yielded a
salt of the conjugate base, sodium benzoate. The sodium benzoate formed is highly polar when compared to the mixture of benzoic acid and water. Therefore, more benzoic acid was being recovered from methylene chloride which accounts for the larger kp value.

hi, expert please help me with this problem.. i need it before 5 pm thank you
As part of a lab exercise, your group was assigned an unknown compound X for which you had to determine its partition coefficient between an organic solvent and water. You dissolve and shake 4 grams of X in a mixture of 130 mL benzene and 100 mL of water. At the end, your group discovered that the benzene layer contained 0.5 g of X. Use the information provided to calculate for the partition coefficient. What can you say about the chemical nature of compound X?
I HAVE 2 ANSWERS (i don't know if it is correct hehehe)
1st Answer:
partition coefficient (Kd)=conc. at 1st phase (C1) / conc. at 2nd phase (C2)
Kd = C1/C2 = CH2O / CBenzene
Kd = (4g-0.5g) / 100 mL / 0.5G/130 mL
Kd = 0.035/0.003846154
Kd = 9.099 or 9.1 (my 1st answer)
My 2nd Answer is on the picture please CHECK IF CORRECT. IF NOT PLEASE SEND THE CORRECT ANSWER THANK YOU.
