Lab 3 – Separation of a Mixture of Solids Cathy Lab Partners: Chelsea Brooke Sept 4‚ 2012 Chemistry 131A Dr. Vicki H Audia Pelab Questions: Proposed procedure for separation of a mixture: Use physical properties of the 4 substances to separate. 1. Remove iron with magnet 2. Add water to the mixture to melt the benzoic acid and NaCl then filter out sand. 3. Chill the solution and scoop the acid out leaving a salt solution. 4. Boil water away leaving salt. Purpose: The

Introduction Extraction is a purification technique used in organic chemistry to separate compounds from a mixture of two or more compounds. There are three different extraction techniques: liquid-liquid extraction‚ solid-liquid extraction and chemically active extraction. All three types of extraction follow the same principle. Organic molecules dissolve in organic solvents and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solvents. This phenomenon is observed because of the intermolecular forces between

Experiment 2: Separation of a Mixture of Solids Purpose: This experiment allowed me to learn different separation techniques for various substances based on their specific chemical properties. Procedure: I began this experiment by using a magnet to pick up and collect the iron filings out of the mixture. Then the sand was separated by placing the mixture into a beaker and boiling it in distilled water in order to dissolve the salt and benzoic acid‚ once boiling the liquid was poured out leaving

Abstract The objective of this experiment was to observe multi-step purification of benzoic acid after performing the extraction from a mixture containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange. Recrystallization was done to remove impurities from the sample. The amount of BA recovered during recrystallization is much less than the extracted amount of BA. The difference between the pure and impure samples was observed by comparison of melting points. It was found that impure samples will have

discussing how many materials we use today are actually mixtures of pure substances. The separation of these materials into their pure substances can be quite challenging. When we are discussing separations of a mixture that contains pure substances‚ it all depends on whether you can separate the substances by physical means. That means‚ utilizing each substances physical properties such as boiling point‚ melting point‚ and magnetism. Separation of a Mixture of Solids Lab Report Assistant

Mabel M. Kimble September 21‚ 2014 Chemistry 234 Recrystallization of Benzoic Acid ABSTRACT The recrystallization of Benzoic Acid was performed to fully master the ability to purify a solid compound. This form of purification technique is especially important in chemical identification‚ where the melting point of the compound is taken to confirm its purity. In order to perform recrystallization a solubility test much be completed. Four solvents (95% Ethanol‚ Petroleum Ether‚ Acetone and distilled

Recrystallization of Benzoic acid Chemistry 204-002 Date: 4/9/2011 Hector Ortega Recrystallization is a method used to purify compounds‚ and this is a very important procedure because compounds are naturally impure. Polarity and solubility play a big role in this experiment and these characteristics are exploited in order to have a crystallization of the desired compound. In this experimented benzoic acid was crystallize using ethanol and water. I chose these solvents based on part C of the experiment

LS Separation of Mixtures and Solids Purpose: To become familiar with the separation of mixtures of solids Hypothesis: I will be able to separate the materials using a variety of different methods. First‚ separate the iron fillings using a magnet. Second‚ I will put the rest of the solution into water and separate the insoluble sand from the soluble salt and benzoic acid. Third‚ I will filter out the benzoic acid when crystalized. Lastly‚ I will evaporate the water away leaving crystallized

Abstract By separating chemicals out of a mixture and purifying them through sublimation and recrystiliation‚ changes in the substances physical properties can be shown. A salicylic acid-naphthalene mixture was mixed together with diethyl ether and saturated sodium bicarbonate. Two layers separated and were extracted after acidifying with HCl. This precipitated the crude salicylic acid. The left over mixture was combined with water and the two layers separated where crude naphthalene was recovered
