Propose a method to separate a mixture containing phenol, benzoic acid, naphthalene, and p-nitro aniline. Phenol is soluble in sodium hydroxide solution but insoluble in neutral water or sodium bicarbonate solution. Benzoic acid is soluble in either sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate solutions. Write out the structures of the molecules in your scheme.

Expert Solution

Dissolve the mixture in diethylether or some similar organic solvent. Then using a separating funnel add an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The phenol and benzoic acid will react with the base to form phenolate and benzoate ions that will dissolve into the water layer. Again Re precipitate the organic molecules by adding concentrated hydrochloric acid. The phenol and benzoic acid can be separated by heating the mixture in water to dissolve the fan on and then filtering of the insoluble benzoic acid. The solution can then be acidified to return the phenol. Now we can add a solution of hydrochloric acid to the separating funnel which will react with the basic aniline dissolving it into the water. By collecting the aqueous layer And re precipitating the anniline with excess sodium hydroxide and boiling the remaining organic solvent will left behind the napthalene which was left untouched by all the acids and bases.

Draw a flow diagram for the separation of benzoic acid, phenol, and naphthalene. Enough detail must be included for someone to perform the experiment, however, you do not need to include masses or volumes ( this question pertains to acid/base extractions, ect. ) Please be neat, as I seek guidance and mastery, thank you.

You are given 2.00 g of a mixture of phenol, aniline, phthalic acid and methyl benzoate. Describe, how you would use an acid-base extraction technique to separate all three compounds by drawing the flowchart. Propose another way of extraction, where different order of extraction is used (e.g., adding the acid first instead of a base)

I have an unknown mixture of Benzoic acid, Dimethyl Terephthalate, and Naphthalene dissolved in Dichloromethane. I need to separate the mixture to find the composition using some sort of acid base reation and a distillation. How would I do that? I think that I could use steam distillation to remove the naphthalne but im not really sure on that. Any help would be apprectiated. I start with 25mL of the unknown mixture.

You need to separate a mixture of caffeine and benzoic acid. The sample has an initial weight of 2.00 g and a content of 25.0% caffeine. You use dichloromethane, 10.0% NaOH solution, and 10.0% HCl. You are able to isolate 0.60 g caffeine and 1.00 g benzoic acid. Complete the following calculations and show your work. i)Calculate the amounts of caffeine and benzoic acid in the initial sample. ii) How much 10% NaOH solution would be needed to neutralize all...
