CHEM 2203 Experiment 4A & 4B: Use of Equilibrium Distribution & Isolation to Calculate the Partition Coefficient of a Solution of Methylene Chloride, Water, and Benzoic Acid, and a Solution of Benzoic Acid, Methylene Chloride, and Sodium Bicarbonate, all at a Microscale Level Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to utilize the found data concerning the extraction of the dissolved solute within the solvent to determine two partition coefficients. This lab will use many techniques including: weighing containers and benzoic acid with an electronic scale, use of both automatic and manual pipettes to deliver liquids to their appropriate containers, and extraction of the intended solute through a heater block. Experimental Procedure: The procedure for this experiment was provided by Mayo and can be found between pages 141 and 147. Additional modifications to the procedure included: Use of 0.083 grams of benzoic acid instead of the intended 0.075 grams. Reaction Scheme: 4A: No reaction occurred during experiment 4A. 4B: The combination of sodium bicarbonate and benzoic acid formed sodium benzoate and carbonic acid in experiment 4B.
Data and Results: Benzoic Acid Methylene Chloride Water 10% Sodium Bicarbonate Mol.

All of the solvents used were originally clear, viscous liquids.
The organic layer of methylene chloride layered on the top for experiment 4B and settled to the bottom for experiment 4A. The weight for the screw cap test tube containing a boiling stone was 11.4 grams for experiment 4A. The weight for the screw cap test tube containing a boiling stone was 11.410 grams for experiment 4B. After heating the test tube containing the mixture using the heater block, the weight was 11.430 grams for experiment 4A. The constant mass of the test tube containing the mixture using the heater block for experiment 4A was 11.430 grams. After heating the test tube containing the mixture using the heater block, the weight was 11.802 grams for experiment 4B. The constant mass of the test tube containing the mixture using the heater block for experiment 4B was 11.797 grams. During the second part of the 4B experiment the test tube cracked in half, all values used are accredited to Sarah Strait. The partition coefficient calculation will not be correct for experiment 4B because there was a remaining amount of 10% sodium bicarbonate in the test tube after collecting the final constant mass of the test tube. Calculations: K p = (mg of benzoic acid in the methylene chloride layer / amount of organic solvent used)/ (mg of benzoic acid in the aqueous water layer / amount of aqueous solvent used) Experiment 4A: 1. mg of benzoic acid in the methylene chloride layer 11.430 grams - 11.400 grams = 0.030 grams or 30 mg 2. mg of benzoic acid in the aqueous water layer 0.083 grams - 0.030 grams = 0.053 grams or 53 mg 3.

(.030 grams benzoic acid / 1mL methylene chloride) / (.053 grams benzoic acid / 1mL water) = .566 Experiment 4B: 1. Mg of benzoic acid in the methylene chloride layer 11.797 grams - 11.410 grams = 0.387 grams or 38.7 mg 2. Mg of benzoic acid in 10% sodium bicarbonate 0.075 grams - 0.387 grams = -0.312 grams 3. K p (0.0387 grams benzoic acid / 1mL methylene chloride) / (-0.312 grams benzoic acid / 1mL 10% sodium bicarbonate) = -1.24 This partition coefficient doesn’t make sense in context of the experiment because there was left over 10% sodium bicarbonate after the constant mass of the test tube had been obtained. Questions: 1. a. According to my experience, I found the separatory funnel to be more efficient for the solvent extraction procedure than the conical vial because of the accuracy I was able to obtain with it. In my past experiences of using a conical vial there has always been some loss of solution when transferring between the conical vial and the test tube. While this amount is usually negligible and won’t impact the results of the experiment significantly, it is ultimately less accurate than using a separatory funnel because of the 0% loss that is accrued when using a separatory funnel. b. Assuming ideal separatory funnel performance, I think the separatory funnel provides a more accurate determination of the partition coefficient when compared to the conical vial because there is less risk of loss of solution due to spillage and remaining amounts of solution left in glass pipettes. 2.
a. There was a significant difference in the K p values between experiment 4A and experiment 4B. The partition coefficient for experiment 4A was larger by approximately 1.806. b. The partition coefficient for experiment 4A was larger by 1.806 because of the incorrect values determined for both 4A and 4B in context of the experiment. The partition coefficient for experiment 4B shouldn’t have been negative but was affected in this way because of the leftover 10% sodium bicarbonate after the constant mass of the test tube had been obtained. The partition coefficient for experiment 4A shouldn’t have been so small because there shouldn’t have been as much benzoic acid left over in the aqueous layer and there should have been more in the methylene chloride layer. 3. a. If you extract 100mL of solvent Y there should be approximately 3.33 grams remaining in X because: b. If you extract 2 * 50 mL portions of Y there will be approximately 2.5 grams of A remaining because:
