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.

- 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.

- Please help me with this, I am trying to prepare for my final exam next week and I am just completely lostarrow_forwardProduct Separation Scheme Draw a separation scheme to summarize how the pure product can be isolated; Begin by listing all the compounds that could be mixed in with your product, i.e. all reactants, solvents, and other products; in each separation step include the solvent(s)/reagent and separation technique, phases/states of matter for each separation.arrow_forwardUpon completing a synthesis, you attempt to purify your material via recrystallization. You dissolve the material in a minimal amount of hot solvent and then immediately place the vessel in an ice bath. You obtain the solid product through vacuum filtration. Any issues here? No issues, this is what you would do! You may have an impure solid due to rapid cooling of the vessel. You should have started with RT solvent to dissolve the material. You should use gravity filtration for the final isolation.arrow_forward
- plz hurryyyy, thanksarrow_forwardwhat would the overall reaction be for the recrystillzation of aspirin using 91% isopropanol to get pure aspirin?(drawn out) what would the mechanism be(if any)? More information provided below: You are removing salt, talc and other impurities to get pure aspirin. Recrystallization is a useful technique that can be used to purify solid organic compounds. Thistechnique involves the solubility of organic solids in various solvents. For recrystallization towork properly, the target compound must dissolve in a solvent when it is hot and not dissolvewhen it is cold. In this experiment you will isolate pure aspirin from aspirin tablets. Aspirin tabletscontain various salts and impurities in addition to aspirin. By using recrystallization, you will beable to remove the impurities and be left with pure aspirin.Sometimes pairs of solvents can used to produce better results. In this experiment, 91%isopropanol will be used to recrystallize aspirin. The 91% isopropanol contains 91%…arrow_forwardYou 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?
