While performing a liquid/liquid extraction in a separatory funnel, a student placed the separatory funnel on the ring stand right after shaking it. The student forgot to take the stopper off the top of the separatory funnel after shaking it and before draining one of the layers. Why is this a bad idea?

    8. After shaking and venting the separatory funnel, a student put the funnel on an iron ring. Worried that the product would evaporate, the student kept the hollow stopper on the funnel. After several minutes the student saw two layers had completely separated and opened the stopcock to drain the bottom layer, but no liquid drained out. What would you recommend that the student do?

    Acid/Base Extraction Liquid-liquid extraction is a technique that can be used to physically separate two substancesthat have varying solubility properties. Typically an aqueous solution can be extracted with anorganic solvent to isolate a compound or vice-versa. The specialized piece of glassware that isemployed for these types of separations is called a separatory funnel.In this experiment a mixture of benzoic acid and naphthalene will be purified using liquid-liquidextraction, more specifically an acid-base extraction. Since both compounds are soluble inethyl acetate (an...

    Need help on providing reactions that describe the acid-base extraction and neutralization processes used in this experiment. Provide a statement of solubility of each starting material and product. The experiment to be performed this week involves liquid-liquid extraction using a separatory funnel. Read chapter 15 in Zubrick to familiarize yourself with the use of the glassware for extraction and washing. Acid/Base Extraction Liquid-liquid extraction is a technique that can be used to physically separate two substances that have varying solubility...

    1. What experimental difficulty would you encounter if you had neglected to include a drying step before evaporating the ether solution of the neutral organic compound? 1b. An extraction procedure specifies that an aqueous solution containing dissolved organic material be extracted twice with 10-mL portions of diethyl ether. A student removes the lower layer after the first extraction and adds the second 10-mL portion of ether to the upper layer remaining in the separatory funnel. After shaking the funnel, the...

    Hello, I need help understanding a lab we are doing in class tomorrow. I need to know which is the "ORGANIC LAYER" ... we are using a separatory funnel, and I would like to know whether the organic layer will be on top or on the bottom. This is in order for me to correctly carry out the experiment. The lab is similar to this one I found online, and its very vague for me as to what is the...

    a) After the reaction is completed, the reaction mixture is transfered to a separatory funnel. The layers are separated and the organic layer is washed with each of the following: an equal amount of saturand NaCl, satured NaHCO3, deionized H2O, and again with saturated NaCl. This is an example of a "basic" work-up. Illustrate what is being neutralized in this work up using a balanced equation. (2 Marks) b) The base used is NaHCO3. This base can be dangerous in...

    Acid/Base Extraction 1. Provide a flow chart detailing the acid/base extraction/separation of the compounds shown below. Your answer must employ the following reagents: methylene chloride, hydrochloric acid (1M & 6M), sodium hydroxide (1M & 6M), 10% sodium bicarbonate (aq). Clearly indicate the product(s) and layers formed following each step of your separation scheme. IMPORTANT: p-cresol is soluble in sodium hydroxide solution but insoluble in neutral water or sodium bicarbonate solution. 2- ethylbenzoic acid is soluble in both sodium hydroxide and...
