Aim
To separate a mixture of Benzoic acid, 4-t-butylphenol and Biphenyl and to determine the percentage recovery of each
Theory
Bicarbonate ions, when added to a mixture of the three substances, will convert the carboxylic acid (in this case, benzoic) to ions. Hydroxide ions on the other hand convert Phenols to ions. This makes them soluble in the aqueous layer as ions are soluble in water. However, addition of HCl to the aqueous ionic solutions regenerates non-ionic substances which are only soluble in the organic layer.
Materials
• 2M diethyl ether
• Saturated NaCl solution
• Saturated aqueous solution of Sodium bicarbonate
• Distilled water
• Pasteur pipette
• Anhydrous Calcium Chloride pellets
• 3M aqueous NaOH
• Litmus paper
• Boiling stick
• Source of heat
• Water bath …show more content…

It was then washed off with ether after the drying process was finished and allowed 5-10 minutes for the drying of the ether solution. ?M HCl was added drop wise to tube 2 to neutralization, while testing the solution with litmus paper. A boiling stick was then added to the tube and heated cautiously to bring most of the solid carboxylic acid into solution. The tube was then allowed to cool slowly to room temperature then cooled in ice. The solvent was removed and the residue recrystallized from boiling water. The tube was then allowed to cool slowly to room temperature and then cooled in ice. The crystals were then stirred and collected on a Hirsch

Protocol for Initial TLC: A TLC chamber and a TLC plate were obtained making sure to wear gloves and to not damage the silica coating on the TLC plate. A line was drawn about 1 cm above the bottom of the plate using a pencil. The TLC plate was spotted with the unknown by adding a small drop to the plate with a capillary tube and then allowing the solvent to evaporate. The TLC chamber was prepared by adding enough methylene chloride to cover the bottom of the jar to about 0.5 cm depth.

The dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol takes place at the bottom of the Hickman still. As the Hickman still heats up within the sand bath, the products evaporate and travel higher up in the still where they condense into a liquid and fall within the collection ring, thus separating the product from the remaining water. Drierite (CaSO4) is also added as a drying agent to absorb any leftover water within the product. The purity of the product will then be analyzed with infrared spectroscopy, paying attention to OH peak if it is present. Chemical Reactions: Data and Observations: Material Volume Mol.

Then, 1-mL of concentrated HCl was added, with stirring, to the white residue. While in a fume hood, this solution was heated again to dryness, which resulted in a pale-yellow solid. The crystals were then scraped from the beaker and then transferred to a Hirsch funnel and then washed with three 0.5 mL portions of ice-water to remove the excess HCl. The product was then washed with a 1-mL portion of ethanol and a 1-mL portion of ether and then dried on a sheet of filter paper. Once dry, the crystals were then placed in a desiccator for 3 days to make sure the crystals were

The specific purpose of this experiment is to determine the composition of vapor and liquid phases for different mixtures of a pair of volatile liquids using refractive values and distillation techniques involving the construction of two different types of phase diagrams. Moreover, these different phase diagram might be analyzed and compared individually in order to have a better understanding about the multiple types of phase equilibrium and phase change that occurs. For the procedure, the two components are benzoic acid and o-toluic acid. The first step of this experiment is to accomplish the part A: run samples A1 to A5 and B1 to B5. For this step, place a beaker of silicon oil on top of a hot plate until the temperature reaches 135 +/-

In the round-bottom flask (100 mL), we placed p-aminobenzoic acid (1.2 g) and ethanol (12 mL). We swirled the mixture until the solid dissolved completely. We used Pasteur pipet to add concentrated sulfuric acid (1.0 mL) to the flask. We added boiling stone and assembled the reflux. Then, we did reflux for 75 minutes.

14 vials were used for cotaining samples. When the distillation was proceeding at a moderate speed at about the wanted temperature, the receiver was replaced with a vial as the condensed vapour sample (V) and the thermometer was read. Half of the vial was filled with the sample. The stopper of the distillation flask was removed and using a dropper to collect the liquid.

The developing solution was poured into a tank and was tightly covered with a glass lid, and the tank was allowed to be saturated to ensure that the solution was equilibrated in the gas phase. Silica plate for TLC analysis: A horizontal line was drawn with a pencil on the plate and it was about 1 cm above the bottom of the plate. The horizontal line was drawn faintly so as to avoid damaging the silica gel on the plate. On the horizontal line, two marks were made and one was named A and the other B. These marks were made towards the centre of the plate at a distance apart because when spots are made at the edge of a plate, the result would be an improper travel of the samples as the solvent advances on the plate.

In Experiment One we will be recrystallizing Benzoic Acid from water. In Experiment Two we will be recrystallizing Benzoic Acid using a solvent pair made up of Methanol and Water. The Seven step process of recrystallization consists of adding a solid organic substance into a solvent, then dissolving the chosen solute, decolorizing the solution, filtering solids, then recrystallize the solute by slowly cooling

Abstract The unknown concentration of benzoic acid used when titrated with standardized 0.1031M NaOH and the solubility was calculated at two different temperatures (20◦C and 30◦C). With the aid of the Van’t Hoff equation, the enthalpy of solution of benzoic acid at those temperatures was determined as 10.82 KJ. This compares well with the value of 10.27KJ found in the literature.
