t or f: liquid-liquid extraction allows us to purify liquids and solids
T
what does liquid-liquid extraction use
solubility differential of substance in different solvents
requirements of solvents
must be immiscible, and new solvent must dissolve solute more
k= c2/c1
c2 is concentration in second extracting solvent
what is the extracting solvent
the second one that is added
it is more effective to extract more times with smaller amounts of extracting solvent than fewer times with larger amounts of extracting solvent. T or F
T
performing ________ extractions gets most sample out of original solvent
2-3
more concentrated the solution, the more ___ the extraction
efficient
is methylene chloride an extracting solvent?
yes, compared to water it is much less polar
is methylene chloride lighter or heavier than water?
heavier
how can emulsions be broken up
change concentration by adding more of original solvent, add neutral salt to change density of aqueous layer, or centrifuge
washing the organic layer
shake with distilled water
drying the organic layer
remove trace water and treat with a drying agent like anhydrous sodium sulfate (add w/ spatula or filter through a column containing drying agent)
organic layer
usually contains organic compounds like unreacted alcohol
aqueous layer
contains inorganic salts and sulfuric acid
purpose of washing
dissolves inorganic compounds like salts
how to get rid of sulfuric acid
n-butyl bromide layer (organic) is washed with aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and inorganic products go to the water layer
how much anhydrous sodium sulfate should be affed
only enough to cover bottom of container
organic acids
carboxylic, acetic, benzoic, but also phenol and ethanol and alcohols
common bases
amines like diethylamine and aniline (high pka)
small organic bases are ____ in water
soluble
is aniline soluble in h2o
no
diethyl amine soluble in h2o
yes
benzoic and phenol soluble no
no
