Experiment #4 Recrystallization of Pure Phthalic Acid‚ Benzoic Acid and Napthalene Introduction Recrystallization is a important method in purifying organic compounds which are solid. It is an effective method that is important to be familiar with that is essential in the industrial chemical world. This experiment will allow students to be familiarized with the technique of recrystallization by working with phtalic acid‚ benzoic acid and naphthalene from appropriate organic solvents.

Experiment 1: Purification of Benzoic Acid by Recrystallization III. Introduction Purification - physical separation of impurities and by-products from an impure sample pure substance. *Distillation- for liquid compounds‚ *Recrystallization- solid compounds Recrystallization - precipitation of a solid cpd. from a saturated solution in the form of crystals through cooling or evaporation -7 steps: 1) selecting the appropriate solvent 2) dissolving the solute 3) decolorizing the

and jellies‚ soft drinks‚ pickles‚ condiments etc and in tinned products in the market. This experiment aimed to determine whether benzoic acid is formed from it’s superior soluble form sodium benzoate in stomach acid‚ which is simulated by HCl (pH=2). It has been seen that at a low optimum pH‚ i.e. in the presence of sufficient hydrochloric acid‚ sufficient benzoic acid is yielded. The percentage yield is determined from the calculations of the theoretical (stoichiometric) calculations and the actual

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate a competitor’s claim that the food preservative‚ sodium benzoate (C6H5COONa)‚ made by Fresh Foods International (FFI)‚ changed into a new substance in stomach acid. Stomach acid has a pH between 1 and 3 due to the hydrochloric acid content. Based on the net equation given in the book as well as the solubility of the product our hypothesis is that a new substance will form. Net reaction: C6H5COONa(aq) + HCl(aq) C6H5COOH(s) + NaCl(aq)

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to recrystallize a 95% pure sample of benzoic acid contaminated with approximately 5% salicylic acid using two different methods to determine the melting points and discover the impurities of the substance. Results: After recrystallization of the benzoic acid‚ the starting and ending masses as well as the melting point ranges were determined. This experiment was conducted twice‚ following the same

of procedures: Add sulfuric acid to the mixture of benzoic and methanol‚ heat up the mixture to 65 oC. Transfer the mixture to the separatory funnel and add ether‚ sodium bicarbonate and saturated sodium chloride-brine solution‚ drain the bottom layer each time and remain ether layer. Decant the solution with calcium chloride‚then evaporate the ether by steam bath and cool down. The product is methyl benzoate. Pour methyl benzoate into cool concentrated sulfuric acid and keep the temperature below

ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted to synthesize methyl benzoate form benzoic acid and methanol by using the Fischer esterification method. The Fischer exterification technique is utilized in the academic and industrial settings due to the simplified synthesis and safety parameters of the overall reaction. Both benzoic acid and methanol are relatively cheap to obtain from a commercial source as well as being easy to store with a relatively long shelf life. The Fischer esterification method is

experiment was started with a clear solution of sodium benzoate and HCl was added to it‚ ultimately producing benzoic acid. First‚ .3395 g of sodium benzoate was weighed‚ then it was dissolved in water‚ causing it to disassociate into ions. Next‚ 3M of HCl were added drop wise to the solution until it reached a pH of 2‚ thus introducing the hydronium ion. This addition caused a white‚ solid benzoic acid to precipitate out of the solution. A vacuum filtration system was used to separate the solid from the
