0.3 G Of Separation Lab Report

In the experiment, 0.3 g of mixture was dissolved in 3 mL of t-butyl methyl ether in a centrifuge tube. Then, 2 mL of 0.5 M NaHCO3 was added, shaken for one minute, and allowed to sit for two minutes so the layers could separate. The lower water layer was removed with a Pasteur pipette and placed in a test tube labeled “Acid.” Next, 0.5 mL of distilled water was added to wash the ether layer in the centrifuge tube and then discarded. 2 mL of 0.5 M NaOH was added to the remaining layer, shaken for one minute, and then allowed to sit for two minutes. Once the layers separated, the clear lower layer was pipetted into a micro test tube labeled “Phenol.” The remaining ether layer was washed with 0.5 mL of distilled water and discarded. Then, 0.1
