10) What is the purpose of a brine wash (saturated sodium chloride solution) in a liquid/liquid extraction? a) Sodium chloride is alkaline and, therefore, is a good way to neutralize acidic species such as HCl or H2SO4. b) Washing with brine is convenient way to remove residual water from the organic layer prior to treating the organic layer with a solid drying agent. A c) Sodium chloride is an organic soluble material which provides a "seed" which encourages crystal growth. d) Sodium chloride aids in dissolving materials that are typically insoluble in both organic and aqueous media.

Please answer all 5 questions (it could be short answers). 5-1. What is the main barrier to separating liquid mixtures of less than 500 mL by distillation? 5-2. A sample mixture of ethyl benzoate (bp 212 Celsius) and dodecane (bp 216.2 Celsius) is injected on two GC columns. Column A has DC710 silicone oil as the stationary phase, and column B uses polyethylene glycol as the stationary phase. Which substance would be certain to elute first from column A and would the same material be expected to elute first from column B? Which column, A or B, would be expected to give the better separation of these two substances? 5-3. Question 5-2 refers to separating a mixture of two high boiling liquids by gas chromatography. These materials have similar boiling points. List several GC variables and conditions that would make it easier to separate thesesubstances by gas chromatography 5-4. Capillary GC columns have better resolution than packed columns even though the enormous surface area…
A mixture of benzoic acid and naphthalene was separated by a liquid-liquid extraction by converting the benzoic acid into its water soluble sodium salt. How can the benzoic acid be recovered after the two layers were separated? Group of answer choices Acidify the aqueous solution containing the sodium benzoate to pH 2 and filter. Add an excess of 1.0 M NaOH to the aqueous solution containing the sodium benzoate and filter. Add diethyl ether to the aqueous solution containing the sodium benzoate and filter. Dry the the aqueous solution containing the sodium benzoate with anhydrous sodium sulfate and filter.

You are attempting to purify a compound via recrystallization. You prepare the process through the following method: 1) Dissolve the material in a minimal amount of hot EtOH. 2) Slowly add hot water until the compound is slightly cloudy. 3) Add a small amount of EtOH until the solution is just clear (still hot). 4) Cool to RT. Upon cooling to RT you notice that the compound is not precipitating out of solution. You decide to boil off some ethanol. Upon completing this step and cooling to RT you notice that the compound is precipitating out as desired! In which solvent is your compound the least soluble? Ethanol O Water O The ethanol water mixture Insoluble in all of these solvents
