EXPERIMENT I
SOLUBILITY OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY FOR PETROLEUM ENGINEERS Page 1
llllgu
ABSTRACT
This experiment aim at determining the solubility of organic compounds such as phenol, Naphthalene,
1-propanol,2 –butanol, cyclohexanol, Benzyl alcolol, aniline and Benzamide in water, cyclohexene, Ethyl
acetate, Toluene, dilute HCl, NaOH and NaHCO3 .
A sample of each organic compound was taken into a test tube with addition of solvent. Some of organic
compound appeared to dissolve in solvent when were shaken thoroughly at room temperature and
other at warm condition (heated in steam bath) while other appeared not to dissolve at all due to
polarity and intermolecular force existing between them. Compounds that are insoluble in water can
become soluble in aqueous environment if they form an ionic species when treated with acid or base.
This is because the ionic form is more polar. From general rule that like dissolve like, polar solute
dissolved in polar solvent and non-polar solute in non-polar solvent.

INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the solubility characteristics of some simple organic
compounds. Predicting the solubility of organic compounds is a useful skill. For example it can be useful
when trying to purify (e.g recrystallization: picking a suitable solvent) solute from a multi-compounds
reaction mixture (e.g via extraction) or when extracting molecules from a natural source such as plants.
This knowledge is also important when performing reaction to synthesize molecules, usually reagents
and starting materials are mixed together in solution.
Solubility is really controlled by intermolecular forces. General rule is “like dissolve like” and it is based
on the polarity of the system i.e. polar molecules dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar-molecules in
non-polar solvents. The polarity of organic molecules is determined by the polar bonds due to the
presence of electronegative atoms in polar bonds due to the presence of electronegative atoms in polar
functional groups such as amines (-NH2) and alcohols (-OH).
We are going to determine what compounds can be dissolved in each other or are miscible in each other
in a qualitative manner. As a result we should be able to determine which compounds have similar
characteristics with regard to solubility.

THEORETICAL PRINCIPLES
When two substances are mixed together they may or may not dissolve in each other depending on a
variety of characteristics and properties associated with each substance. If they dissolve in each other,
they are considered to be soluble or miscible with each other. For example, table sugar can be dissolved
in water and alcohol is miscible in water. When sugar or alcohol is dissolved in water, a solution is
formed. This solution would be a homogeneous solution because it looks uniform throughout. You can
determine the solubility of a substance in a solution by determining how much of the substance
dissolves in another substance. Usually the substance that is present in the largest amount in a solution
is called the solvent, and the substance present in the least amount is called the solute. If a substance
does not completely dissolve or is not miscible in the solvent, a heterogeneous mixture may be formed.
When a substance (compound) dissolves in a solvent, it probably has similar physical and/or chemical
properties as the solvent. Sometimes we (chemists) say “like dissolves like”. For example, sugar and
water have similar chemical and structural features in common. Every compound has a maximum
solubility at a given temperature. That means you can only dissolve so much solute in a given amount of
solvent. You can dissolve a lot of sugar in 100 mL of water (10 grams per 5 mL water). If a compound
does not dissolve in a solvent they may not have similar chemical properties. For example, vegetable oil
and water are not miscible or soluble in each other because they have different properties.
Organic compounds that have both hydrogen bond donors and acceptors will be water soluble if they
have 5 carbons or less (more carbons if multiple H-bond donor acceptors present).
Examples of water soluble compounds with H-bond donors and acceptors:
Organic compounds that have only hydrogen bond acceptors will be water soluble if they have 3
carbons or less (more carbons if multiple H-bond donor acceptors present).
Examples of water soluble compounds with H-bond acceptors only:
The least soluble water soluble organic compounds are hydrocarbons and alkyl halides

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

CONCLUSION
When two substances are mixed together they may form solution or may not dissolve in each other
depending on a variety of characteristics and properties associate with each properties of the substance.
From the experiment, it shows that solubility of organic compound involves the formation of one layer,
if the compounds are miscible or formation of two layers, if the compounds are immiscible.

EXPERIMENT 2
CRYSTALLIZATION AND MELTING POINTDETERMINATION
VU

ABSTRACT:
This experiment aimed at determining crystallization and melting point of unknown compound. The first
part of this experiment involve carrying solubility test to find a suitable recrystallization solvent among
the given five solvent, such as water, methanol, P-Ether, Ethyl acetate and Toluene.
A small amount of impure sample was introduce in a test tube with addition of solvent and then shaken.
If all solid had nearly dissolved in a cold solvent and no precipitates, the solvent was considered
unsuitable. If not the mixture was heated gently to the boiling point with stirring in the steam bath. If
the most of the solid did not dissolve, the solvent was also unsuitable.
Ethyl acetate was found to be the best among the given solvents. Before preparation of the solution, the
mass of the remainder of unknown sample was recorded as 1.22g. A solute in a minimum of near boiling
point solvent is dissolved and the solution was allowed to cool slowly undisturbed to room temperature.
Once the crystal had formed a flask of crystallization solvent was placed in water-ice bath for a few
minutes. The crystal were collected by suction filtration and allowed to dry for one night. Before
determining the melting point range the mass of the purified sample was found to be 0.835g. so as to
determine the melting point range a small amount of the purified sample was introduced in a test tube
which was then placed in a melting point apparatus. The temperature at which the solid began to melt
and that at which it was completely liquid was recorded as the melting point range of the substance,
which was found to be 133-147.
The percentage yield was found to be 68.4%. It is recommended that the rate of heating is the most
critical factor affecting experimental results and should be carefully monitored particular close to the
expected melting point. Also careful transfer of the sample from one component to the other to avoid
loss of the sample.

INTRODUCTION
The objective of this experiment is to determine the crystallization and melting point of unknown
compound. The hypothesis of crystallization and melting point determination is that recrystallization
help in purification of impure solid compound, also can be used to separate enantiomers from each
other while melting point verifies the purity of the compound and aids in the identification of unknown
compound. It is typically reported as the range where an impure solid will have a lower melting point
than the pure solid.
When a solid organic compound is prepared in the laboratory or isolated from some natural source,
such as leaves, it is almost always impure. A simple technique for the purification of such a solid
compound is crystallization.
The first part of this experiment involves carrying out solubility tests on known compounds. Later on
such solubility tests will be used to find a suitable recrystallization solvent for an unknown compound. A
compound usually exhibits one of three general solubility behaviors: (1), the compound has a high
solubility in both hot and cold solvent, (2), the compound has a low solubility in both hot and cold
solvent, and (3), the compound has a high solubility in hot solvent and a low solubility in cold solvent.
Solvents which exhibit the first two behaviors are not useful for recrystallizing a compound. A solvent
showing the third behavior, that is, high solubility at high temperatures and low solubility at low
temperatures, is one that is suitable for use as a recrystallization solvent.
Again solute in a minimum of near

boiling solvent is dissolved, allow the
solution to cool slowly and
undisturbed at room temperature
then possibly to rise temperature,
collect the crystals by filtration and
allow them to dry.
So as to determine the purity and

identify the compound melting
range must be determined.

In this report you will find a brief theory on crystallization and melting point together with the principle
used, experimental procedure, apparatus used, results and discussion of the results obtained during the
experiment, conclusion, recommendation and reference used.

Crystallization is the process in which a solid compound precipitate from a saturated solution in the form
of crystals. During the process of crystal formation, a molecule will tend to become attached to a
growing crystal composed of the same type of molecule because of the better fit in crystal lattice for
molecules of the same structure than for other molecules. When the impure solid is dissolved in a
minimum volume of a suitable hot solvent and the resulting solution is gradually cooled, saturation and
eventually crystallization of the pure compound occurs.
Impurities are of two kinds: soluble and insoluble, recrystallization involves the removal of both to purify
a solid. Insoluble impurities are first remove by gravity filtration of the hot solution while the soluble
impurities remain dissolved in cold saturated solution after filtration of the desired compound. The pure
crystals are separated from the supernatant liquid by suction filtration. After drying, purify is checked by
a melting point determination.
Melting point is the temperature at which transition from solid to liquid occurs at atmospheric pressure.
Many organic compounds are solid at room temperature as the result of stronger intermolecular forces
which hold the individual molecules together in a crystal lattice. The nature and strength of the
intermolecular forces are responsible for the observed differences in melting point. The melting point of
a solid is practically unaffected by changes in external pressure making it a convenient physical constant
for the identification of solids.
The solubility of a solid solute in a solvent is determined by two factors:

a) The relative polarities of the solvent and solute. “Like dissolve Like” is the best summary of
solubility behavior. Polar solvent dissolve polar solute and non- polar solvent dissolve non-polar
solute.
b) The lattice energy of the crystalline solute. The crystal lattice, holding solute molecules together
in the solid state, is broken down upon dissolution. The stability of crystal lattice is roughly
reflected by the melting point.
A suitable solvent for crystallization should possess the following. Important properties;
a) Dissolve a large amount of the solid to be purified at high temperature, but very little at room
temperature.
b) Dissolve impurities readily at low temperature or not at all even when at the boiling point.
c) Not react with the substance to be purified.
d) Evaporate readily from the crystals.
If two or more solvent appear to be equally suitable, it is preferable to choose a solvent which is non-
flammable, non-toxic and cheap,

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE AND EQUIPMENTS:
MATERIAL AND APPARATUS

1. Test tube: used to study the solubility of impure substance.
2. Steam bath: used to heat the test tube containing the impure substance
3. Analytical balance: used to weigh the sample
4. Conical flask: used to heat the sample in water bath
5. Filter flask : used to filter crystal by vacuum filtration
6. Capillary tube :used to study the melting point of the sample
7. Melting point apparatus: used together with capillary tube to determine the melting point of
purified sample.
8. Buchner flask : used to collect crystals during suction.
METHODS:
EXERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:
The following steps were involved during recrystallization.
1) Selection of suitable solvent.
A small amount of the impure sample was introduced in a test tube with addition of solvent and
then shaken. If all sold had nearly dissolved in the cold solvent, the solvent was considered
unsuitable. If not the mixture was heated gently to the boiling point with stirring in the steam
bath. If most of the solid did not dissolve, the solvent was also unsuitable.
2) Preparation of the solution

The rest of the sample was weighed and transferred to the conical flask, where a small portion
of a selected solvent was added. The mixture was stirred and heated to boil where a small
portions of the solvent was kept added until all the solute dissolved. A slight excess of the
solvent was added to compensate for any losses (through evaporation) during filtration.
3) Cooling
So as to induce crystallization, the clear, hot filtrate was allowed to cool at cool at room
temperature, undisturbed until a large amount of crystals had formed. The mixture was finally
chilled in ice to complete crystallization.
4) Collecting and drying crystals.

The crystals were collecting by suction filtration using a Burner funnel to ensure rapid and
complete removal of the solvent. Finally crystals were dried in air by spreading them on the
paper for one night.

5) Melting point determination

A small amount of a substance was introduced into a capillary tube which was then place in a
melting point apparatus. A melting apparatus was heated close to the melting point. The
temperature at which the sold began to melt and at which it was completely liquid was recorded
as the melting point range of the substance.

DISCUSSION
From trial and error technique, two solvents from the given list seemed to be good solvent, which are
water and Ethyl acetate. But ethyl acetate was found better than water due to the following reasons.
i) The boiling point of ethyl acetate is less compered to water. Since the boiling point of the
solvent should be low enough so that it can readily be removed from the crystals.
ii) Slow formation of crystal in ethyl acetate than in water when the hot solution is first cooled
slowly at room temperature and the place on ice.
iii) Rapid cooling of water than Ethyl acetate is undesirable because the crystals formed tend to
be very small and their resulting large surface area may foster adsorption of impurities from
solution.
The mass of the crude unknown was 1.22g and after purification was found to be 0. 835g and the
percentage recovery was 68.4 which show that, the recovery was not 100%. This is due to;
i) The low of sample during transferring from one flask to the other.
ii) Loss of weight from slightly solubility of solvent.
The melting point range seemed to diverge from 133-147 degree of Celsius this is due to density of
packing in capillary tube or thickness of the capillary tube.
VU
llllgu
CONCLUSION
Therefore the suitable solvent for the given unknown compound is Ethyl acetate where its boiling point
and melting point range are 78 °C and 133-147 °C respectively. The percentage recovery was
found to be 68.4% which means that the sample was lost.
RECOMMENDATION
Bear in mind, the melting point range is affected by number of factors in addition to that of purity.
Particle size, amount of the material used, the density of packing in the capillary tube and the rate of
heating the melting point apparatus, are all factors that should be carefully considered to ensure an
accurate melting point. The rate of heating the most critical factor affecting experimental results and
should be carefully monitored particularly close to the expected melting point.

ABSTRACT
This experiment aimed at separating of a mixture of organic compound and identifying the separated
products. It involved four stages which are; Extraction, Recrystallization, melting point determination
and identification of the products.
Extraction: 1g of the given mixture was dissolved in 20mL dichloromethane. The solution was decanted
into separating funnel. Organic layer was extracted twice using 10mL 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate.
The combined aqueous layer was cooled in an ice-water bath for 10 minutes eventually neutralized with
6M HCl. The precipitates were formed and collected by suction filtration. The organic layer was shaken
with 10mL saturated NaCl in a separated funnel and was dried with addition of anhydrous sodium
sulfate. The organic layer was decanted into a conical flask and solvent was evaporated using steam
bath.
Recrystallization: the separated products were recrystallized and weighed as 0.2312g and 0.1179g in
aqueous and organic layer respectively. The percentage yield was determined as 23% 12% in aqueous
and organic layer respectively. Also their melting points were determined.
Melting point determination: the temperature at which the solid stated to melt and that solid turned
into a liquid completely were recorded as 138-147®C and 109-119®C in aqueous and organic layer
respectively.
Identification of the product s:the solid in aqueous layer was white powder which was found to be O-
nitro benzoic acid and that in organic layer was white crystal which was found to be Acetanilide.

INTRODUCTION
The objective of this experiment is separation of the mixture and identification of the separated
products. This involves three processes, which are; Extraction of the mixture, recrystallization of the
separated products and determination of melting point range of the products, finally identification of
the compound.
This technique is commonly used in isolation and purification of the products of the most organic
reactions. It is very rarely possible to identify the constituents of the mixture without separation. The
separation of the compound in a mixture should be as nearly quantitative as possible in order to give
some idea of the actual percentage of each component. This is done in four stages which are;
preparation of the separator funnel, adding the liquids, mixing the layers and separating the layers.
Recrystallization of the separated products: During this process of crystal formation, a molecule will
tend to become attached to a growing crystal composed of the same structure of molecule because of
the better fit in crystal lattice for molecules of the same type than of the other molecules. When the
impure solid is dissolved in a minimum volume of a suitable hot solvent and the resulting solution is
gradually cooled, saturation and eventually solution is crystallized by formation of pure compounds.
Melting point determination: Many organic compounds are solid at room temperature as the result of
strong intermolecular forces which hold the individual molecules together in a crystal lattice.
Determination of the melting point help in identification of the products separated from the mixture.

Extraction is the separation of a substance from a mixture by means of a solvent that preferentially
dissolves that substance. If the substance is extracted from a solid phase, the process is called solid-liquid
extraction, as in the isolation of caffeine from tea leaves by means of hot water. Extraction of a substance
from a liquid phase is called liquid-liquid extraction. The most common applications of this latter
technique are:
a. The recovery of an organic product from a reaction mixture containing excess unreacted
materials and by-products.
b. Isolation of an organic substance from its natural source, such as a plant.
Liquid-Liquid Extraction: This is the most common type of extraction. It involves shaking the liquid
mixture with an immiscible solvent which preferentially dissolves the desired compound. On standing,
the two immiscible phases (usually organic and aqueous) form two separate layers (upper and lower) that
can be separated by means of a separator funnel. The various solutes in the mixture distribute themselves
between the organic and aqueous phases according to their relative solubility in each solvent. At
equilibrium, the ratio of the concentration (C) or solubility (S) of the substance in the organic phase, (Co
or So) to that in the aqueous phase (Cw or Sw) is called the distribution coefficient (KD)
A large distribution coefficient implies that the compound is much more soluble in the organic phase than
in the aqueous one and, in this case, a single extraction suffices to remove the desired compound from the
mixture. When KD is small, it means that the compound distributes itself more evenly in both phases, so
that repeated extractions are required to recover such a compound from the aqueous mixture. In general, it
is more efficient to divide the total volume of extracting solvent over several extractions than to use the
whole volume in a single extraction.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
1. Mixing the layers:
1g of the given mixture was dissolved in 20mL dichloromethane. The solution was decanted from beaker
into separating funnel. By using 10mL 10%aqueous sodium bicarbonate the organic layer was extracted
twice as follows;
The stopper was inserted and by holding the stopper in the place will one hand, a separator funnel was
pecked up and inserted. Immediately the stopcock was opened with other hand so as to vent solvent
fumes or carbon dioxide. The separator funnel was swirled gently to further drive off solvent vapors or
gases.
After venting, the stopcock was closed and the mixture in the inverted funnel was gently shaken up and
down vigorously in a somewhat circular motion for 2-3 minutes so that the layers are thoroughly mixed.
The stopcock was vented several times during shaking.
A conical was placed under the stem of the separator funnel in case the stop cock would have developed
a leak. The separator funnel was allowed to sit until the layers had separated.
2. Separating the layers:
Before proceeding, the stopper was first removed (It is difficult to drain the lower layer from a
stoppered funnel. Because a vacuum is created in the top potion of the funnel)
The aqueous layer was combined and labeled as SOLUTION 1.
3. Cooling and neutralization of aqueous layer.
The aqueous layer was cooled in ice-water bath for 10 minutes. After cooling, it was neutralized by
adding 6M HCl, where precipitates formed.

4. Collecting and drying the precipitates of aqueous layer:
The precipitations were collected by suction filtration using a Buchner funnel to ensure rapid and
complete remove of the solvent. Finally precipitates were dried in an air by spreading them on the sheet
of paper for one night.
5. Shaking the organic layer.
The organic layer was shaken with 10mL saturated NaCl in a separating funnel. By repeating the same
procedure in (1) above, the organic layer was extracted and labeled SOLUTION 2. The organic layer was
dried by addition of anhydrous sodium sulfate. The dried organic layer was decanted into a dry conical
flask. The solvent was evaporated using steam bath. The crystals were collected by suction filtration and
finally dried in air.
6. Melting pint determination.
Before melting point determination, the mass of each pure sample were recorded. A small amount of
each sample was recorded. A small amount of each sample was introduced in a capillary tube which was
then placed in a melting point apparatus. The temperature at which the soled began to melt and at
which it was completely liquid, was recorded as the melting point range.

DISCUSSION
It is important to identify the solvent in each layer. Dichloromethane is denser than water, when it was
dissolved as the non-polar solvent water layer appeared on top. To confirm the identities of the layers,
one or two drops of water are introduced just below the surface of the top layer. If the drops of water
fall through the top layer below, then the water layer is the bottom one.
The mass of the crude/mixture was 1g, after purification and separation the masses were as follows:
0.2312g and 0.1179g in aqueous and organic layer respectively. These masses yield 23% and 12%
respectively, which is not 100% of recovery. This is due to the following reasons;
a) Poor decantation during the experiment.

b) Loss of the sample during the experiment (from one component to another)
The melting point of O-nitro benzoic acid started from 138-147®C and that of Acetanilide was 109-
119®C. this ids due to the presence of impurities in the purified sample which tend to lower the melting
points. Also it is contributed to the tare of heating of the melting point apparatus.
VU

CONCLUSION
Therefor this given mixture contains O-nitro benzoic and acetanilide which melt at 138-147®C and 109-
119®C respectively. The small range between melting points is due to left impurities in the purified
sample.
RECOMMENDATION
 Be sure to close the stopcock at the bottom of the separator funnel before adding solution
 Acetanilide is toxic irritating. Keep away from flames or other heat sources.
 The solid may take 5 minutes or more to dissolve. You should stir the mixture during this time.
 Do not open the stopcock while the glass stopper is in the top of the separator funnel, a slight
vacuum will be created and the bottom layer will not drain from the funnel.
 Anhydrous sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) is irritating and hygroscopic. Prevent eye, skin and clothing
contact.
 The rate of heating should be controlled so that the melting range is as narrow as possible.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this experiment is to go through reactions of some important functional group in
counted in organic chemistry and to recognize the importance of functional group reactions in the
identification characterization of organic compounds. Because functional groups influence the physical,
chemical, and spectral properties of an organic compound, a chemist can identify a compound's
functional groups by measuring certain physical properties, observing its chemical behavior with
different classification reagents, and studying other spectral data.
This predictable reactivity allows a chemist to attempt a variety of reactions on an organic compound
and determine what functional group(s) are present. To use any reaction as a test fora functional group, it
is necessary for the product mixture to appear significantly different fromthe reactants. This may be due
to formation of a precipitate or colored product, or it may bedue to consumption of a solid or colored
reactant .This may be due to formation of a precipitate, colored product or consumption of a solid/
colored reactant.
Within this report you will find a clear procedure, observation, inference3 and chemical equations
involved in different tests of some organic compounds. The compounds to be tested are hydrocarbon,
alcohols, phenol and halogen compounds.
VU
llllgu
THEORETICAL PRINCIPLES:
A functional group is a portion of a molecule that is a recognizable/classified group of bound atoms or

specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions
of those molecules.Rigorously speaking the functional group is not the whole molecule but only that
collection of atoms that provides a specific chemical function. For example, the chemical family of
alcohols is characterized by the function of the hydroxyl (OH) group, and aldehydes, ketones are
characterized by carbonyl groups (C=O). In organic chemistry it is very common to see molecules
comprised mainly of a carbon backbone with functional groups attached to the chain. The functional
group gives the molecule its properties, regardless of what molecule contains it, also they are centers of
chemical reactivity.
.
Theory behind Functional Group:
a. Solubility Tests for Carboxylic Acids, Phenols, Amines and Small Molecules
The solubility of an organic compound in water depends on both its size and polarity.
Compounds with 4 carbons (or less) and at least one polar functional group tend to be water soluble.
Larger compounds tend to be insoluble in water unless they have an ionized functional group or several
polar functional groups. Thus, an insoluble compound can be made water soluble if one of its functional
groups can be ionized. For example, amines are weak bases. If an insoluble amine is reacted with strong
acid, the amine will be protonated and become soluble in water. Similarly, carboxylic acids and phenols
are weak acids. If an insoluble phenol is reacted with strong base, the phenol will be deprotonated and
become soluble in water. Finally, phenols are much weaker acids than carboxylic acids. As such, there
are some bases that are strong enough to deprotonate a carboxylic acid but not a phenol. One such base
is NaHCO3 (which will make a carboxylic acid soluble in water but not a phenol).
b. Bromine Test for Alkenes and Alkynes

Most halogens (chlorine, bromine and iodine) react readily with carbon-carbon multiple
bonds that are not part of an aromatic ring. In order to determine whether or not the reaction has
proceeded, it is therefore necessary to look at the halogen. Chlorine is a green gas, bromine a dark
brown liquid and iodine a purple-black solid. Bromine is typically chosen as the test reagent for alkenes
and alkynes because, if it reacts, its rich brown color will disappear. If there the brown color persists, it is
because there are no alkenes or alkynes for the bromine to react with.
c. Lucas Test for Alcohols (2° and 3°)

Alcohols are very weak bases (comparable to water) which react slightly with strong acids.
The product of such a reaction is an electrophile with a very good leaving group. In the presence of a
good nucleophile, a substitution reaction results. This is the basis of the Lucas test. Tertiary alcohols (in
which three carbon atoms are attached to same carbon as the –OH group) react very quickly in the
Lucas test, producing alkyl halides that are insoluble in the aqueous Lucas reagent. Secondary alcohols
(in which two carbon atoms are attached to same carbon as the –OH group) react more slowly while
most primary alcohols (only one carbon atom is attached to the same carbon as the –OH group) do not
react at all.
Because a positive test is indicated by formation of a product that is insoluble in water, the
Lucas test is only useful for compounds that are water soluble.

CONCLUTION AND RECOMMENTIONS
CONCLUSION:
The study of function group is based on α-carbon and β-carbon. α-carbon is carbon which carry the
functional group and β-carbon is the carbon next from α-carbon. From these tests it shows that most of
the functional group have atoms which are more electronegative. These more electronegative atoms
draw electrons by negative inductive effect away from the functional group. Extent to which negative
inductive effect is significant is only to the β-carbon.

phase and explain the chemistry of the separation process.
Answer:
VU
llllgu
2. Why is gravity filtration and not suction filtration used to remove suspended impurities and
charcoal from a hot solution?
ANSWER:
Under suction a hot solution is likely to boil due to lower pressure of the suction flask. Then you would
have sucking lots of vapor lather than liquid. By evaporation of the liquid, this would also decrease the
solution temperature and increase the concentration of the solute, which could cause some of the
solute to precipitate out of solution.
3. An unknown sample was crystallized from benzene. On cooling to 0 °C in ice bath the amount of
crystal in flask was quite large, but much of it seemed to disappear when an attempt was made
to collect it by suction filtration. Explain.
ANSWER:
Under suction filtration a hot solution is likely to boil. Then would be sucking lots of vapor rather than
liquid, because by evaporating liquid decrease the solution temperature and increase the concentration
of solute which could cause some of the solute to precipitate out of benzene solution.
4. What is the reason for activated carbon during crystallization? Why is recommended to use little
and not a lot during process.
ANSWER:
Activated carbon is used to remove the colored impurities from the sample. Activated carbon provides a
high surface area to absorb colored impurities. It is recommended to use little because when you add to
much the significant amount of the desired compound will also be absorbed and low recovery will
result.
