(c) During the recrystallization step, Bailey sets her flask with crude vanillyl alcohol and flask with ethyl acetate on the hot plate and begins heating. She waits until the ethyl acetate is boiling and recrystallizes her product. Later, she notices that her product looks different than her peers. She also recovered little vanillyl alcohol. i. Identify the error that Bailey made with recrystallization that caused these ending discrepancies. In this experiment, name one technique of recrystallization that can result in a larger vanillyl alcohol yield. (Hint: Minimizing solvent is not an answer)

10. Fractional Distillation: This lab was viewed via a video and described in detail in lab class. You are distilling apart hexane (bp = 68) and toluene (bp 110). Your boiling point for the first fraction is 48°C. Why is the boiling point so low (most likely reason)? !! azeotrope with water non-resonance of hexane O resonance of toluene student error O seriously impaired thermometer
Differentiate simple and steam distillation. (minimum of 5 sentences)
If 80% of a desired compound is extracted into the organic phase in each step (leaving 20% in the aqueous layer), how many extractions are necessary to ensure that at least 99% of the compound has been recovered in the organic phase? 1 extraction 2 extractions 3 extractions 4 extractions
We want to extract terpenoids from an aqueous sample by continuous liquid-liquid extraction. Which of the following solvents is not suitable for this purpose? Why? Propanone (acetone), dichloromethane, heptane.
Calculate the theoretical yield of virstatin ethyl ester and virstatin. Procedure – Step 1 Synthesis of virstatin ethyl ester (with notes and musings about procedural steps in italics) 1,8-naphthalimide (0.25 g) and potassium carbonate (0.26g) are added to a 10 ml round bottom flask containing a stir bar. 1.3 ml DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide) is added to the flask. The DMF will be in a “sure seal” bottle with a septum. You will obtain the DMF using a syringe and needle. Wear gloves when obtaining and dispensing the DMF. Add ethyl 4-bromobutanoate (0.27 ml) (it might say ethyl 4-bromobutyrate on the bottle) to the reaction flask, using an automatic pipet. Heat under reflux, with stirring, for 1 hour. What will the sand temperature have to be to get DMF to boil?? When would you start heating the sand!? After cooling to room temperature add 5 ml water to the reaction solution and cool the resulting mixture in an ice bath. Using a Buchner funnel, vacuum filter the ice cold…
6. Make a table with the physical properties (molecular mass, b.p., m.p., density, solu- bility, flammability [for solvents only], and toxicity/hazards) of caffeine, methylene chloride, calcium carbonate, acetone, and petroleum ether.
An organic chemistry laboratory Extraction; the extraction of crude naphtalene- benzoic acid mixture. Naphthalene is a suspect carcinogen and is toxic to aquatic life. Find an alternative pair of molecules that adhere better to the principles of green chemistry and can be separated by extraction using green' solvents. (kindly answer fully)
Diethyl ether and methylene chloride are generally not suitable for use in recrystallization, but are frequently used as extraction solvents. Explain
You are given an impure sample of fluorene. Your crystallization solvent choices are water, methyl alcohol and toluene. Using your understanding of polarity and solubility, predict which solvent would be the best choice for crystallization. Briefly explain your answer choice and why the other two choices were eliminated.
Each of the student statements below is wrong. Explain why they are not correct. (a) All my compound dissolved right away in the small amount of solvent I added at room temperature, and I didn’t need to heat it at all. This means I’m going to get lots of pure compound out. (b) I did a recrystallization of naphthalene and my percent recovery was very high (99%), so I must have pure product. (c) When you’ve dissolved all your compound in hot solvent, and you’re in a hurry, it’s ok to just place it straight into the ice bath.
Given a sample of anise oil for its phenol (anethol) content determination, 10 ml was used as sample and after treatment with KOH TS, the non-phenolic layer in the neck of the cassia flask measured 1.5 ml. Calculate the (%) anethol content of the anise oil.
you weigh your crude sample (1.538 g) and recrystallize with hot isopropanol. How do you know how much isopropanol to add?
