Recrystallization of Benzoic acid Chemistry 204-002 Date: 4/9/2011 Hector Ortega Recrystallization is a method used to purify compounds‚ and this is a very important procedure because compounds are naturally impure. Polarity and solubility play a big role in this experiment and these characteristics are exploited in order to have a crystallization of the desired compound. In this experimented benzoic acid was crystallize using ethanol and water. I chose these solvents based on part C of the experiment

Experiment 1: Purification of Benzoic Acid by Recrystallization III. Introduction Purification - physical separation of impurities and by-products from an impure sample pure substance. *Distillation- for liquid compounds‚ *Recrystallization- solid compounds Recrystallization - precipitation of a solid cpd. from a saturated solution in the form of crystals through cooling or evaporation -7 steps: 1) selecting the appropriate solvent 2) dissolving the solute 3) decolorizing the

Benzoic Acid and Benzoates in Food‚ Drinks and Medicines Benzoic acid and benzoates are common additives to food‚ drinks‚ medicines and cosmetics‚ and they also occur naturally in many plants. They are useful chemicals in manufactured products because they kill or inhibit both bacteria and fungi and can act as preservatives. Benzoic acid and benzoates are considered to be safe chemicals for humans when they’re used in small quantities‚ but there are at least two situations in which even small

Separation of a Carboxylic Acid from a Neutral Compound by Extraction Reference: Smith‚ Chapter 2 (Acids and Bases) Introduction Carboxylic acids and phenols are two families of organic compounds that contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ and also react with water to yield an excess of hydronium ions over hydroxide ions. Pure water has a pH of 7‚ which means it has a hydronium ion concentration‚ [H3O+] of 10-7 M (M = molarity‚ moles/Liter). The hydronium ions in pure water come from the self-ionization

Separation techniques are an important part of chemistry. However‚ their importance is not just limited to chemistry; they are also used in our daily lives. Separation techniques are methods used to separate and/or purify mixtures. There are many kinds of separation techniques that are used in our day to day life‚ such as filtration‚ Centrifuging‚ Decanting‚ fractional distillation and sieving. Each of these methods has their own specific uses in our daily lives which make our chores much easier

Wang Experiment #4 Recrystallization of Pure Phthalic Acid‚ Benzoic Acid and Napthalene Introduction Recrystallization is a important method in purifying organic compounds which are solid. It is an effective method that is important to be familiar with that is essential in the industrial chemical world. This experiment will allow students to be familiarized with the technique of recrystallization by working with phtalic acid‚ benzoic acid and naphthalene from appropriate organic solvents. Experimental

The obtained mass of benzocaine and benzoic acid mixture was measured to be 2.075 grams. Following being dried for a week the mass of benzocaine was recorded to be 0.250 grams‚ and benzoic acid was recorded to be 0.600 grams. The melting point range of benzocaine was measured to be 89.5°C-91.5°C‚ while benzoic acid’s melting point range was measured to be 129°C-131.3°C. The percent mass recovered was calculated to be 40.96% for the experiment. Table 1 illustrates the collected information. Starting
