Answer:
The main advantage is that, two separate layers of solvent form, which allows, for a more efficient separation of layers of solvent, and thereby , more efficient extraction, of the organic compound.
Explanation:
Actually, if the organic solvent, and water, forms an aqueous solution, and then the organic solute/ organic compound , is mixed in the solution, then, there is a chance of the organic compound, getting partially dissolved in both water and organic solvent. Let's assume, that the organic solute: is more dissolved in the phase: organic solvent, than water. Then, if the organic solvent, is denser, than water, and both are mixed, two distinct layers, of solvents, will form, with, organic solvent phase having more organic solute: dissolved, in it than that of water.
Since: the organic solvent, is more dense, than, that of water, in a separatory funnel: Water, and the Organic Solvent, can more easily be separated out, since they form distinct layers of liquid: in the solution. Thus, this will help, in the extraction of organic solute, which is more soluble: in the organic solvent, as the organic solvent, will easily separate out, from the aqueous solution.

what is the practicle advantage of using dichromate (density= 1.325g/ml) over diethylether (density= 0.713g/ml) for extracting organic compounds an aqueous solution using a separatory funnel? What is the disadvantage?
In the acid/base extraction lab, a carboxylic acid was separated from fluorene by extracting the carboxylic acid into the aqueous layer using NaOH solution (a review of this experiment before lab will be helpful). Phenols (aromatic alcohols) can also be separated using this method. In a mixture of a phenol and a non-reacting organic compound, the phenol may be selectively removed from an organic solvent by extracting with a dilute NaOH solution. After separating the organic and aqueous layers, the...
Why is it important to open the stopcock on the separatory funnel when extracting from one phase (say, organic phase,) into another phase (say, aqueous phase)?
When the mixture of biodiesel and glycerol is in separatory funnel, glycerol appears denser than biodiesel. What can be the chemical reasoning of the observation?
1)When you perform a liquid-liquid extraction using a separatory funnel, which of the following organic solvent is on the bottom of the aqueous phase and which is on top? (write your answer by the solvent name) a) Ethyl acetate b) hexane c) Dichloromethane d) diethyl ether 2) If you are performing a liquid-liquid extraction and you have a mix of a carboxylic acid and a non-acidic compound, which combination of solvents would you use for the separation? a) dichloromethane/HCI b)...
Answer the following before coming to lab: 1.) Based on what you saw last week, which enantiomer of tartaric acid would you expect to co- crystallize with (SS)-1,2-diammoniumcyclohexane? 2.) If you had a neutral aqueous solution of triethylamine, would you add acid or base in order to extract it with an organic solvent? 3.) Now, consider a dichloromethane solution of triethylamine. Would you extract with acidic aqueous or basic aqueous solution in order to get the triethylamine out of the...
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...
If the partition coefficient of a drug between an organic solvent and water is 5, how many mg of the drug is extracted from a 120 ml of 2% aqueous solution if it was extracted with 60 ml of the organic let mass of compound insolution = 4mg
Sometimes when extraction a polar organic solute into anorganic solvent, brine (a saturated solution of sodium chloride) isused in place of water. What is the advantage of using brine rather than water?
