OBJECTIVE:
To separate a mixture of benzoic acid and a neutral compound (triphenylmethanol or 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene) into its components by extraction and also to get the melting point.

THEORY: Extraction is a process of transferring a solute from one solvent to another. In this experiment, a mixture of benzoic acid and a neutral compound (triphenylmethanol or 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene) into its components by extraction. The mixture is dissolved in diethyl ether (common name is ether). Both components are soluble in this solvent. Then a 1 M NaOH solution is used to extract the benzoic acid in the form of its water-soluble salt, sodium benzoate (three extractions to ensure complete removal), leaving the neutral compound in the ether layer. The three aqueous extracts are combined and the two components are recovered as follow:
1. The neutral compound by washing, drying and evaporating the ether layer.
2. Benzoic acid by acidifying the aqueous layer to form benzoic acid, which precipitates. The benzoic acid is then recovered by filtration, washed and dried.

PROCEDURE:
1. 0.24 grams of unknown sample and 0.12 grams of benzoic acid are weighed and was placed in a test tube.
2. 10 mL ether (very flammable, toxic) was added to the mixture and the test tube was shaked to dissolve the mixture.
3. Then the solution was transferred to the separatory funnel and 5 mL of 1M NaOH was added. It was cap tightly. The layers was mixed by swirling and shaking gently for 30 seconds.
4. Any pressure was vented by tilting the funnel and opening the stop cork.
5. The stop cork was closed, shaked and again vented. The mixture was held stand to allow the layers to separate.
6. The top layer was the ether layer and the bottom layer was the aqueous layer.
7. The aqueous layer was drained into an erlenmeyer flask

    2 mL of dichloromethane was added to the test tube and then stirred for two minutes. The test tube was then centrifuged for 30 seconds making sure that another test tube equal in volume was placed across from it. A micro pipet removed the liquid above the solid after the test tube was done being centrifuged. The decantate was dispensed into the previously weighed watch glass. The previous steps were then repeated two more times. The watch glass with the decantate was placed to the back of the mini hood so the solvent could evaporate. After half of the solvent was evaporated, the watch glass was then moved to the drying oven. Once the solvent was completely evaporated and cooled, it was weighed and recorded.…

    Assemble a reflux apparatus including the 25 mL round bottom flask and a heating mantle as a heat source. 5 mL of n-butyl alcohol is added to the flask by detaching the flask and adding the alcohol via a Pasteur pipet. Allow the mixture to boil at a temperature sustainable for a gentle boil for approximately 75 minutes. After this process has been completed, turn the heat off and allow the mixture to cool for approximately 10 minutes. Once ten minutes has elapsed, carefully place the flask into a cool water bath (without ice) until the mixture cools to room temperature. At this point, an organic layer should be visible. Transfer this solution into a separatory funnel. Drain most of the bottom aqueous layer into a beaker.…

    There are millions of different organic compounds. Most of them are found in mixtures and in order to achieve a pure form they need to be separated, isolated, and purified. However, there are endless numbers of possible mixtures, which make it impossible to have a pre-designed procedure for every mixture. So chemists often have to make their own procedures. The purpose of this experiment was to prepare the student to the real world by them designing their own procedure which will help them understand the techniques of separation and purification better. The goal was to extract two of the components of the mixture that consisted of 50% benzoic acid, 40% benzoin, and 10% dibromobenzene. The benzoic acid was extracted by the use of base and extraction technique. Then a crystallization was performed in order to separate benzoin by the use of hexane a solvent, leaving the dibromobenzne in the mother liquor. The percent recovery for benzoic acid was 91.8% and 80.3% for the benzoin. The MP for benzoic acid was 119-122°C (1) and 135-136°C (2)for the benzoin. The high percent recovery and closeness of measured MP to the literature value indicate that the designed procedure was successful.…

    The objective of this lab was to separate and examine different solutions within a solution. In order to separate each element different methods and techniques were used. Separating the iron filings wasn't difficult or lengthy; however it did require patience and a steady hand. Separating the benzoic acid and the table salt took the longest because it needed to air dry causing the water to evaporate.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to use solvent extraction techniques in order to separate a mixture consisting of a carboxylic acid (p-toulic acid), a phenol (p-tert-butylphenol), and a neutral compound (acetanilide). Extraction is the process of selectively dissolving one or more of the compounds of a mixture into an appropriate solvent, the solution that contains these dissolved compounds is called an extract (Manion, 2004).…

    This experiment was started with a clear solution of sodium benzoate and HCl was added to it, ultimately producing benzoic acid. First, .3395 g of sodium benzoate was weighed, then it was dissolved in water, causing it to disassociate into ions. Next, 3M of HCl were added drop wise to the solution until it reached a pH of 2, thus introducing the hydronium ion. This addition caused a white, solid benzoic acid to precipitate out of the solution. A vacuum filtration system was used to separate the solid from the liquid. What was once water soluable became insoluable.…
