The mixture contains benzoic acid, 2-napthol, and naphthalene. Dissolve the mixture in the polar solvent ether. When you react the mixture with 10% NaHCO3(sodium bicarbonatea weak base in aqueous solution) reacts with benzoic acid and forms sodium benzoate an ionic compound (similar to NaCl) that dissolves in aqueous solution (heavier than ether in density) and goes to the bottom of the centrifuge tube or to the bottom of the separatory funnel forming two layers. Then remove the bottom aqueous layer and collect in a beaker labeled as bicarbonate extract. Acidify the bicarbonate extract in the beaker to give benzoic acid. The top ethereal layer contains in the centrifuge tube or separatory funnel 2-napthol and naphthalene. To this top layer add 10% NaOH (sodium hydroxideis a strong base in aqueous solution reacts with only 2-napthol, a weak acid forming 2-napthoxide an ionic compound soluble in aqueous solution (similar to NaCl) that goes to the bottom of the centrifuge tube or to…
Given the percent of ethanol in beer, 97% and percent(v/v) of ethanol through simple distillation: 26% and the percent (v/v) of ethanol through fractionating distillation: 27%. How would you calculate the theoretical quantity of pure ethanol that could be obtained by fractional distillation?
You need to purify 0.8 grams of an impure sample of trans-cinnamic acid. After the purification is completed you isolate 0.57 grams of trans-cinnamic acid and record a melting point range of 129-132 °C. Cinnamic Acid has a solubility in ethanol of 13.9 g/100 ml at 10 °C and a solubility in water of 0.055 g/100 ml at 25 °C. (a) Explain why the recrystallization of trans-cinnamic acid must use a mixed solvent system. Please explain why the sample couldn't be successful recrystallized in ethanol alone. Calculations should be used to support your answer. (b) Calculate the % recovery and the % error for the melting point.

A student performs a crystallization on an impure sample of biphenyl. The sample weighs 0.5 g and contains about 5% impurity. Based on his knowledge of solubility, the student decides to use benzene as the solvent. After crystallization, the crystals are dried and the nal weight is found to be 0.02 g. Assume that all steps in the crystallization are performed correctly, there are no spills, and the student lost very little solid on any glassware or in any of the transfers. Why is the recovery so low?
