When extracting an aqueous solution with an organic solvent and after agitation and settling, the two layers are of very similar appearance. You know that the organic layer contains your product and the aqueous layer is the waste layer, but you are not 100% certain which layer is which. What simple test might you perform to determine which is the organic layer?
An enzymatic method for determining alcohol in the wine is evaluated by comparison with a gas-chromatography (GC) method. The same sample is analyzed several times by both methods with the following results (% ethanol). The values of alcohol for both enzymatic and GC methods are shown in Table 1. Using a suitable test, determine whether the enzymatic method gives the same value as the GC method at 95% confidence level.
What are the important solubility characteristics for a solvent for crystallization of an organic solid that is contaminated with a small amount of impurity?
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

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?
