(a)
Interpretation:
In the microscale procedure, the reason of using a gentle rather than vigorous reflux rate needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
In organic reaction, an organic compound is converted into other. The types of some organic reactions are addition, elimination, substitution and rearrangement etc.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason of using a Pasteur filter-tip pipet rather than a regular Pasteur pipet to transfer the ethereal extract needs to be explained.

- What are emulsions? Why do they form during extractions? How is the formation of an emulsion minimized?arrow_forwardWhich is the decolorizing agent used in acid fast staining? Mixture of 5% HCl and 95% NaOH mixture of 5% HCl and 95% ethyl alcohol. mixture of 5% HF and 95% acetone mixture of 5% acetone and 95% alcoholarrow_forwardThe key to a successful HPLC procedure is good sample separation which is represented by a clean peak for each individual compound. What should we do to ensure a good sample preparation? A. Use a column and a mobile phase with different polarity B. Use a column and a mobile phase with the same polarity C. Use a lower temperature higher than the mobile phase boiling point D. All of thosearrow_forward
- You will be completing the extraction of caffeine with dichloromethane and water. In which solvent will the caffeine be found after the layers are mixed, and is this the top or bottom layer? A. Dichloromethane - top layer B. Dichloromethane - bottom layer C. Water - top layer D. Water - bottom layerarrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of adding sodium sulfate to the organic layer after extraction? A. To remove water from the organic phase B. To act as a base to deprotonate the tannins, making them water soluble C. To act as a base to deprotonate the caffeine, making it water soluble D. To remove organic solvents from the aqueous phasearrow_forwardWhy is 95% alcohol a good solvent for extraction?arrow_forward
- How do you obtain napthalene,napthol and benzoic acid from a sample using recrystallization?arrow_forward1. Predict the position (top and bottom layer) of the organic and aqueous layers in the following extractions: a. Cyclohexane and saturated sodium chloride solution b. Chloroform and 5% sodium hydroxide solution. c. Methyl tert-butyl ether and waterarrow_forwardWhy should we extract the Cyclohexanone in a three step extraction (with 10 ml, 8 ml and 7 ml Ether) rather than in one step (with 25 ml Ether)?arrow_forward
- 1. Which of the following can most likely increase the yield of recrystallized benzoic acid? a. A fluted filter paper was used during cold filtration. b. The receiving flask from hot filtration does not contain a small amount of solvent. c. Activated charcoal was not added to the solution. d. The solution was filtered immediately after hot filtration.arrow_forward3arrow_forwardThree sample, X (neutral), Y (basic), and Z (acidic), were mixed and dissolved together in dichloromethane. Propose a method to separate all given sample individually using the combination of liquid-liquid extraction, crystallization, distillation, and sublimation technique.arrow_forward
