Chapter 3.2, Problem 33E

Answer the questions below. a) 500 ml. Acetic acid in 200 mL acetic acid-water mixture containing 30% acetic acid by volume with pure isopropyl ether will be separated by LIQUID-LIQUID extraction. Assuming the dispersion coefficient of acetic acid in isopropyl ether+water carjumine is 2, calculate the amount of acetic acid that passes into the organic phase and the extraction yield. b) What are the desired properties of the solvents used in liquid-liquid extraction processes?

Which solvent would be the best choice for use as an extraction solvent in a separatory funnel with an aqueous solution of NaHCO3 followed by rotoevaporation? Hint: Consider the ability of the solvent to dissolve a wide range of substances, its miscibility with water, and its ability to evaporate the solvent easily by rotoevaporation. ethylene glycol

what would the overall reaction be for the recrystillzation of aspirin using 91% isopropanol to get pure aspirin?(drawn out) what would the mechanism be(if any)?   More information provided below:   You are removing salt, talc and other impurities to get pure aspirin. Recrystallization is a useful technique that can be used to purify solid organic compounds. Thistechnique involves the solubility of organic solids in various solvents. For recrystallization towork properly, the target compound must dissolve in a solvent when it is hot and not dissolvewhen it is cold. In this experiment you will isolate pure aspirin from aspirin tablets. Aspirin tabletscontain various salts and impurities in addition to aspirin. By using recrystallization, you will beable to remove the impurities and be left with pure aspirin.Sometimes pairs of solvents can used to produce better results. In this experiment, 91%isopropanol will be used to recrystallize aspirin. The 91% isopropanol contains 91%…

An organic chemistry laboratory Extraction; the extraction of crude naphtalene- benzoic acid mixture. Naphthalene is a suspect carcinogen and is toxic to aquatic life. Find an alternative pair of molecules that adhere better to the principles of green chemistry and can be separated by extraction using green' solvents. (kindly answer fully)

For either of these solvents explain why it would be a better choice as a recrystallization solvent than the other (water vs. ethanol).

You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7. Include all formal charges, intermediates (if applicable) and products.

The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.You find that methylphenidate is highly soluble in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, a bio-renewable solvent. Draw the structure of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and give two reasons why it is a good solvent choice for liquid-liquid extraction.

Diethyl ether and methylene chloride are generally not suitable for use in recrystallization, but are frequently used as extraction solvents. Explain

You wash a separatory funnel with soap and water to ensure it is clean before extracting an aqueous solution with dicholormethane. You should take the time to make sure there are no drops of water left inside the separatory funnel. Select an answer and submit.
