Purpose of the Experiment: The intention of the experiment is to use solvent extraction methods to separate a mixture containing a carboxylic acid and a neutral compound. Once recovered‚ the solids were purified by recrystallization and examined by thin-layer chromatography‚ and their identities were derived by melting point and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Extraction is a procedure that selectively dissolves one or more of the mixture compounds into a proper solvent. Extraction refers to the moving
