What is the mechanism for separating 9-fluorenone and a carboxylic acid in mixture? We are using a separatory funnel and adding the mixture of 9-fluorenone and a carboxylic acid to it. I need to know the mechanism of how they will separate into an aqueous and an organic layer.

A student is working on the separation of a three-compound mixture, consisting of a carboxylic acid, amine, and neutral compound, and starts by extracting the dichloromethane solution of the mixture with 10% NaHCO3 rather than 5% HCl. Assuming the student recognizes the error before proceeding further, would the student still be able to separate and identify the components of the mixture? Describe what changes would have to be made to the remainder of the procedure in order to do so.

If you are given a mixture consisting of anisole, benzoic acid, and fluorenone how would you devise a method to separate and isolate the two major components of this mixture (anisole and benzoic acid). The possible techniques to be used would be distillation, extraction, or recrystallization.

which of the following are solvents? a. benzoic acid b. ethyl 4-aminobenzoate c. 9-fluorenone d. HCl c. Diethyl ether d. NaCl e. Anhydrous Sodium Sulfate f. NaOH

Why is benzoic acid, ethyl-4-aminobenzoate and 9-fluorenone more soluble in diethyl ether than in water?

We are separating a mixture that is 10 mol% methanol, 20 mol% ethanol, 30 mol% n-propanol and 40 mol% n-butanol in a distillation column. The feed is a saturated liquid. We desire to recover 98% of the ethanol in the distillate and 97% of the n-propanol in the bottoms product. The column has a total condenser and a partial reboiler and a feed rate of 100 kmol/hour at 1 atm pressure. The external reflux ratio is 5. In the enriching...

Experiment 16: Synthesis of Fragrant Esters (using carboxylic acid and alcohol w/ sulfuric acid catalyst) 1)...

Experiment 16: Synthesis of Fragrant Esters (using carboxylic acid and alcohol w/ sulfuric acid catalyst) 1) Write out the mechanism for a generic Fischer esterification. Place a circle around the key tetrahedral intermediate. In your mechanism, note where there are similarities and differences between the acid catalyzed and non-catalyzed (sic) version by identifying the steps involving H+. I cannot find any version of Fischer esterification that doesn't use a catalyst of some kind. I cannot figure out how to write...
