In order to separate the mixture of fluorene, o-toluic acid, and 1, 4-dibromobenzene, the previously learned techniques of extraction and crystallization are needed to perform the experiment. First, 10.0 mL of diethyl ether would be added to the mixture in a centrifuge tube (1) and shaken until the mixture completely dissolved (2). Diethyl ether is the best solvent for dissolving the mixture, because though it is a polar molecule, its ethyl groups make it a nonpolar solvent. The compounds, fluorene and 1, 4-dibromobenzene, are also nonpolar; therefore, it would be easier for it to be dissolved in this organic solvent. Once the mixture had been completely dissolved, the solution was transferred to a separatory funnel. The solution was then extracted twice using 5.0 mL of 1 M …show more content…
To remove the impurity, the fluorene had to be recrystallized and purified. In an aside step, 15 mL of ethanol was heated until the solvent was boiling. Ethanol is the ideal solvent to crystallize fluorene, because it is polar. Though fluorene is nonpolar, fluorene is not too soluble or insoluble in ethanol. The decision for selecting this solvent came from past experimentations as well. At first, methanol would have been a good solvent for fluorene, but methanol evaporates very quickly. A greater amount of methanol would have been required to dissolve the impure fluorene, but a little amount of ethanol is only needed to dissolve the impure fluorene completely. Once the ethanol solvent was boiling, a small amount was added to the flask, just enough to cover the impure fluorene solids. That flask was then heated on a hot plate, and additional hot ethanol was added continuously until the fluorene completely dissolved (10). As soon as the solid dissolved, the flask was stoppered and placed into an ice-water bath (11). Crystallization happened almost
We then took 1ml of the 0.1% solution from test tube 2 using the glucose pipette and added it to test tube 3, we then used the H2O pipette and added 9ml of H2O into test tube 3 creating 10ml of 0.01% solution.
The purpose of the lab is to figure the concentration of the unknown solution by using the equation of the coordination curve formed by the absorbance of the solution of known
We were then to make a base solution of 0.7 M NaOH. In order to standardize
The objective of this experiment was to perform extraction. This is a separation and purification technique, based on different solubility of compounds in immiscible solvent mixtures. Extraction is conducted by shaking the solution with the solvent, until two layers are formed. One layer can then be separated from the other. If the separation does not happen in one try, multiple attempts may be needed.
Separation of olefin-paraffin mixtures resulting from cracking are often done in a series of distillation columns designed for this purpose. A common process diagram is shown in Figure 2-1. @ Master thesis). For each olefin-paraffin pair, two columns are required. The first separates that size of molecule from the rest of the mixture (e.g., separation of ethylene and ethane from the remaining feed) while the second separates the olefin-paraffin pair from each other (e.g., separation of ethylene from ethane).
Acid-base liquid-liquid extraction was done to separate the individual components of Excedrin so that caffeine could be extracted. Acid base liquid-liquid extraction works by converting an acid or base to the alternate form by adding a strong acid or base, which allows it to become more polar and move between solvents. The solvents can then be extracted off, allowing for the individual components to be extracted. This is important for organic chemists, because being able to separate components allows for reactions to take
The percentage yield gained was 70% from the Fischer Esterification reaction, which evaluates to be a good production of yield produced as the reaction is known to be reversible where conditions such as the concentration of the reactants, pressure and temperature could affect the extent of the reaction from performing. These white crystalline crystals were tested for impurity by conducting a melting point analysis and taking spectrospic data such as the IR spectra, HNMR and CNMR to confirm the identification of the product. These spectrospic methods and melting point analysis confirmed the white crystalline crystals were benzocaine.
In this experiment, Column Chromatography was used to separate and purified a mixed sample of Fluorine and Fluorenol. This was done by relying on this differences in polarity. Because of OH group present in the Fluorenol, that makes this substance much more polar, which cause it to move down the column at a much slower rate. After the procedures were done, the solution was collected into 13, 3 mL vials. By using TLC, the different compounds were separated and combined. Fractions #1-3 contained Flourine, #4-10 contained Fluorenol, and #11-13 did not show any significant signs of either compound. The lower determined Rf values for Fluorenol indicated that it was a more polar substance that Fluorine. Out of the beginning amount of 0.0680 grams
The isomerization procedure was done in order to create dimethyl fumarate from dimethyl maleate. Dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumarate are cis and trans isomers, respectively. This procedure was done via a free radical mechanism using bromine. The analysis of carvones reaction was done in order to identify the smell and optical rotation of the carvone samples that were provided. The odor was determined by smelling the compound and the optical rotation was determined using a polarimeter.
The mixture was poured through a weight filter paper and Sucrose washed with a 5ml of dichloromethane. The resulting solid was left in a breaker to dry for one week, to be measured. Left it in the drawer to dry out for a week and weighted it to find the sucrose amount recovered amount.
For this experiment we have to use physical methods to separate the reaction mixture from the liquid. The physical methods that were used are filtration and evaporation. Filtration is the separation of a solid from a liquid by passing the liquid through a porous material, such as filter paper. Evaporation is when you place the residue and the damp filter paper into a drying oven to draw moisture from it by heating it and leaving only the dry solid portion behind (Lab Guide pg. 33.).
Performing this experiment, we used the technique called Acid-Base extraction to isolate Eugenol, which is one of the main ingredients of clove oil. Acid-Base extraction is the most efficient method for isolating organic component; it is efficient because it purifies the acid and base mixture based on their chemical identities. We have seen throughout this experiment that acid and base play an important role, when it comes to solubility in water. Our basic knowledge of acid and base is acid is a proton donor and base is a proton acceptor. This ideology helps us to understand why organic compounds are not soluble in water. When compounds tend to be insoluble, we have to use acid and base reaction, to change its solubility. The changes that occurred

The process of crystallization, especially crystallization from solution, is used as a separation and purification technique and in the production of pharmaceutical solid forms3,4. Knowledge of the crystal structure allows the crystal engineer to know and manipulate the chemistry of the crystal in order to optimize exact characteristics performance 3.
