Answer the questions below. a) 500 ml. Acetic acid in 200 mL acetic acid-water mixture containing 30% acetic acid by volume with pure isopropyl ether will be separated by LIQUID-LIQUID extraction. Assuming the dispersion coefficient of acetic acid in isopropyl ether+water carjumine is 2, calculate the amount of acetic acid that passes into the organic phase and the extraction yield. b) What are the desired properties of the solvents used in liquid-liquid extraction processes?
Which solvent would be the best choice for use as an extraction solvent in a separatory funnel with an aqueous solution of NaHCO3 followed by rotoevaporation? Hint: Consider the ability of the solvent to dissolve a wide range of substances, its miscibility with water, and its ability to evaporate the solvent easily by rotoevaporation. ethylene glycol
You are given an impure sample of fluorene. Your crystallization solvent choices are water, methyl alcohol and toluene. Using your understanding of polarity and solubility, predict which solvent would be the best choice for crystallization. Briefly explain your answer choice and why the other two choices were eliminated.
