Solubility, Crystallization and Melting Point Determination Post-Lab

Discussion Guidelines:
Part 2A and 2C: Draw tables (as in textbook) showing which combinations were soluble/miscible and which were insoluble/immiscible. Explain why this is so. Why are certain chemicals soluble/miscible when others are not?
Part 3A: Calculate % recovery (this is not the same as % yield – see handout from the first day of lab if you’re confused), and determine melting point of your product. Discuss % recovery, if it’s reasonable (high or low and the pros and cons for both), possible sources of loss, etc. Also discuss your melting point; compare it with the literature melting point and the melting point of the impure starting material. Overall, based on these results, how successful was your crystallization and why?

Post-lab Questions:
1. For the following pairs of solutes and solvent, predict whether the solute would be soluble or insoluble. It may be helpful to look up some of the chemical structures. (3pts) a. Malic acid in water b. Naphthalene in water c. Amphetamine in ethyl alcohol d. Aspirin in water e. Succinic acid in hexane f. 1-Decanol (n-decyl alcohol) in water

2. Predict whether the following pairs of liquids would be miscible or immiscible. It may be helpful to look up some of the chemical structures. (3pts) a. Benzene and water b. Water and methyl alcohol c. Hexane and benzene d. Methylene chloride and benzene e. Water and toluene f. Ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol

3. Consider a crystallization of sulfanilamide in which 10mL of hot 95% ethyl alcohol is added to 0.10g of impure sulfanilamide. After the solid has dissolved, the solution is cooled to room temperature and then placed in an ice-water bath. No crystals form, even after scratching with a glass rod. Explain why this crystallization failed. What would you have to do at this point to make the crystallization work

    Also added was 0.45mL water and 0.165mL acetic anhydride and a magnetic spin vane. An air condenser was attached to the vial and it was heated on an aluminum block, with a temperature maintained at 120C. After the solution dissolved, it was heated an extra 20 minutes to allow the reaction to go to completion then cooled back to room temperature. An ice bath was used to encourage crystal growth. The crystals were removed and centrifuged, then placed on a pre-weighed watch glass to dry and weigh. Percent recovery was found. A small sample was set aside for melting…

    Throughout this experiment we saw recrystallization of the solid into a white crystalline structure suspended in liquid, and then vacuum filtered the unknown and put it into the Mel-Temp device in order to determine the correct melting point. We had pre-calculated that if it was acetanilide, there would need to be 31.6mL used to dissolve it, and if it was phenacetin, it would need 129.5mL to dissolve it. We ended up putting 129 mL of water in order to dissolve the crystals to begin the purification process. When we put the water into it, there was some of the unknown lost on the stirring rod, as well as solid impurities floating at the top of the mixture. Crystals began to form almost immediately, even before the mixture was put into the ice bath. The…

    Conclusion: In conclusion we found that the more KNO3 you add the shorter amount of time it takes to crystallize. The less amount of KNO3 you have, the longer it takes to crystallize. In the end, my hypothesis was correct because when we added more KNO3 it took less time to crystallize. We had 0 errors in our lab everything went…

    The Craig tube then transferred into a 100mL beaker to let cool down to room temperature. As the solution cooled down to room temperature crystals started to form. After reaching room temperature the Craig tube was then transferred into an ice bath until their no more crystallization. We then had to centrifuge the solution to separate the mother liquor and crystal. We then took the crystals out to try on a pre weigh watch glass (52.0994g) to dry. After drying the watch glass with crystal was weigh 52.1602g. It was found that the pure sulfanilamide recovery was .0608 with a percent recovery of .3944. Using the melting machine it was found that impure sulfanilamide had a melting point of 172 C and pure sulfanilamide had a melting point of 165.1 C. When comparing the boiling point of sulfanilamide to the actual boiling point (165-166 C) the experiment was right on. Comparing the boiling point of impure and pure sulfanilamide the impure had more substances in it so the boiling point was higher than the pure.…
