Steam distillation lab? One can prepare homemade lavender perfume by steam distillation,one of the main components in the lavender oil is linalyl acetare (MM 196 g/mol), which has a vapor pressure of 20 mm Hg at the boiling point of the mixture with water. If one collect 500 g of lavender from a garden and performs a codistillation with water, what would be the compositions of the distillate? This is all that was given??

This is Organic Chemistry Lab, Solvent Extraction. 1. What are the criteria for solubility of organic molecules in water? 2. If methylene chloride was used as the organic solvent in solvent extraction, instead of ether, what would the top layer be in the separation step? 3. What formula was used to calculate interaction of organic compounds with the stationary phase? 4. In the given mixture (liquid-liquid), which compound (be specific) has the weakest interaction with the stationary phase? Why?

The following diagram shows a distillation process. Distillation is a technique used in chemistry to purify water from dissolved impurities, mainly salts.

The following diagram shows a distillation process. Distillation is a technique used in chemistry to purify water from dissolved impurities, mainly salts. An example is the conversion of sea water to fresh water as is done in many countries including Oman. Temperature plays an important role in distillation process and the various steps involved are as follows. Step1: Heating impure water to produce steam in the distillation flask. Step2: Steam passes through to the Liebig condenser where it is condensed. Step3: Condensed water...

In an Organic Chemistry Lab entitled: Natural Product Isolation: Isolation of Eugenol from Oil of Cloves a.) What would happen if the NaOH solution was replaced with deionized water inthe first step of the extraction procedures? b.) How would the experiment be different if you used dichloromethane instead ofdiethyl ether as the organic solvent? c.) Why did the solution turn cloudy when you added the 3M HCl? Thanks for the help.

Organic chemistry question about extraction lab...? Procedure: Place 2.0 g of the mixture of sucrose, acetylsalicylic acid and acetanilide into a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add 50 mL of methylene chloride (dichloromethane) and dissolve as much of the solid as possible. Remove the insoluble sucrose via gravity filtration using fluted filter paper. Allow to dry until the next lab period. Add the methylene chloride solution to the separatory funnel and extract it with two 25 mL portions of 5 %...
