Describe how you would separate a mixture containing benzoic
acid and a neutral substance, benzophenone. Both compounds are
insoluble in water and soluble in ether.
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.
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...
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.
Describe how you could separate and purify compound A from a
mixture of two neutral compounds (A and B) when A comprises 95% of
the total and B the other 5% of the total. Assume that A and B have
similar polarities.
How would you recrystallize a mixture of Benzoic acid and
2-Naphthol? Discuss the choice of solvent and recrystallization
process. (Hint. Look up the solubility of these two compounds in
different solvents)
Suppose you want to separate a mixture of the following
compounds: benzoic acid, m-cresol, p-aminobenzophenone, and
napthalene. Come up with a list of steps and chemicals needed to
most efficiently isolate all four compounds as solids with the
greatest purity possible.
