Chapter 5.3, Problem 18E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the sequence of extracting the diethyl ether solution of 2-naphthol (11), benzoic acid (5) and naphthalene (7) to start with aqueous bicarbonate followed by aqueous hydroxide and not the reverse order needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction :

Extraction is defined as a method used to isolate a substance which is mixed with some other substance. It is done by adding a solvent in which one the substance which needs to be extracted is soluble and other substance is insoluble.

We want to extract terpenoids from an aqueous sample by continuous liquid-liquid extraction. Which of the following solvents is not suitable for this purpose? Why? Propanone (acetone), dichloromethane, heptane.
A 1.5 L of organic compound solution contain 8.0 g of benzoic acid. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) solvent was used to extract the benzoic acid from the organic compounds into a diluted sodium bicarbonate solution via liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method. The extracted benzoic acid was transformed into sodium benzoate aqueous solution after LLE. Calculate the total amount of the analyte extracted if the LLE process performed with 1:3 ratio for 3 times, with the recovery of 40% for every step. c)
