Purification Of 4-Dibromobenzene

1445 Words6 Pages

Experiment Title: A Separation and Purification Scheme. Kunal Patel T.A: Justin Maxwell 2460-008 November 8, 2016 Introduction: This experiments main purpose was to separate and purify the components of the unknown substance given. The unknown had been allotted in the lab according to the initials of the last name. The three unknown components were 50% o-toluic acid, 40% fluorene and 1,4-dibromobenzene. This lab was essential because each student had to create the lab protocol for the lab. This helped us to know more about the techniques we used in previous labs. The given components of the mixture were separated and purified by an acid-base extractions and crystallizations. From the three components at least two of them was separated and purified and helped to …show more content…

The solid recovered from the aqueous layer was obtained as o-toluic acid and the solid from the organic layer was obtained as fluorene. The aqueous layer contained the sodium hydroxide salt of o-toluic acid after the addition of NaOH due to its acidic nature. When 1M HCl added, o-toluic acid was precipitated out of the solution as it is insoluble in it. The solid could be obtained from vacuum filtration. The two components of the organic layer were separated according to the solubility properties. Fluorene was precipitated when the sodium sulfate solution was added to the organic layer. As a result, the solubility of fluorene was decreased further when it was placed in an ice-water bath. Fluorene could also be obtained using vacuum filtration and 1,4-dibromobenzene remained in the fluorene solution due to its higher solubility. As it was 10% of the whole mixture, it is considered to be 1,4-ibromobenzene was the minor product and thus could be rejected. The melting point range was used to identify the unknown solids from the mixture. 91.01% yield for o-toluic acid and 72% yield for fluorene was calculated

Fluorene Isolation Lab Report

881 Words | 4 Pages

The main objective of this experiment was to isolate the compounds in a given mixture, which was composed of 50% fluorene, 40% o-toluic acid, and 10% 1, 4-dibromobenzene. Techniques of extraction and crystallization was used to perform the separation. The experiment was separated into two parts; each part was to isolate a major compound from one another. The two major compounds (fluorene and o-toluic acid) were also collected. The o-toluic acid was extracted first by using macroscale extraction and by testing for acidity.

Identifying The Unknown Lab Report

Experimental Procedure Identifying the Unknown We performed three tests on our compound to definitively identify it. First we combined 5 g of our unknown compound with 10 mL of distilled water and measured the pH change in the water to test its solubility. Then, to try to identify the cation present in our compound and narrow down the possibilities, we held a sample over a flame and watched for color change. We performed an acid test where we applied a few drops of HCl and watched for a bubbling reaction, to test for the presence of carbonate.

In this lab, extraction was used as a method for separating a mixture of compounds. Specifically, Benzocaine and Benzoic Acid were individually isolated from a starting mixture which consisted of both components. During this lab, Benzocaine was isolated into crystals, while benzoic acid formed a white powdery solid. This was done by first isolating benzocaine. Once separated, this clear liquid had 6M of sodium hydroxide added to it and was put in an ice bath.

This was proved by utilizing the IR spectrum to verify the C =O was not in the final product as it lacked the 1640 cm-1 peak. The melting point of 113-115 degrees C proved that the final product obtained was the E-Stilbene. The TLC plate proved that the E and the Z product was produced, show cased by the double intensity of the DCM spot to the final product’s spot, both which had an Rf of 0.92. The double intensity proved that both products were produced, but through heating and filtering, the Z-Stilbene was

Qualitative identification of unknown: There were three indicators used which contained four different tubes of acid going from the weakest to the strongest. The indicators included: thymol blue, malachite green, and crystal violet. The unknown solution was poured into three test tubes where each indicator was used. The unknown acid solution colour was then compared to the display of the acid solutions. Quantitative analysis:

Separate Neutral Compounds

711 Words | 3 Pages

In this experiment, extraction was used as a separation technique to separate the acid, base, and neutral compounds. In extraction, two immiscible solvents with different polarities are used to dissolve and separate different solute components, so they form two distinct liquid layers. In this experiment, ethyl acetate, an organic solvent, and an aqueous solution, were used as the two immiscible solvents. The extraction solvent must be capable of dissolving one of the mixture components, without irreversibly reacting with it. While initially it seems as though the organic acid, base, and neutral compounds would never pass into the aqueous layer, the conjugate acid and base of the organic base and acid respectively are soluble in water.

Last, using suction filtration separate between the liquid and the precipitate, then wash the crystals with ice water that can rinse out the remainder acetic acid and impurities. Then, let the crystals to dry for couple days then weight the products first before doing the melting point. The mass of product is 0.880g which is actual yield, then calculate the theoretical yield by using the mole ratio and benzoin and benzoin molar mass. Then, obtained 0.99g for theoretical yield and calculate the percent yield is 88.8%. This properly results in percent yield.

10 mL of deionized water was added and stirred until fully dissolved. 5.0 mL of 3.0 M of hydrochloric acid was slowly pipetted into the mixture and stirred. The pH was checked to be less than two. The solution was placed into an ice bath to decrease the temperature to 10°C. A vacuum filtration apparatus was built with an Erlenmeyer flask with a vacuum arm and connected to a vacuum source and secured for safety using a ring hoop.

Initially not all of the 5.0grams of benzoic acid went into the round-bottomed flask as there was still residue left on weighing boat. This would mean the starting amount of benzoic acid was less then stated. There was some product loss during the draining of the aqueous layers. All these will account for the low yield that was produced.

Separation Of Benzocaine And Benzoic Acid

305 Words | 2 Pages

Through the extraction process, the mixture was separated into its pure benzocaine and benzoic acid portions. This could be proven by matching the melting points of the substituents obtained at the end of the lab to the average melting points found in several chemistry databases. In other words, the melting points of the purified benzocaine and benzoic acid compounds (93.2˚C and 131˚C, respectively) reflect a similar melting points to the documented 89˚C and 122.41˚C of the pure compounds found in nature. Although, the results was collected smoothly, the possibilities of errors are still existent. One source of error could aroused when light brown clouding forms at the interface of the two layers during acid extraction of benzocaine.
