Which of the following statements is correct with regards to paracetamol? Dichloromethane is a good solvent, so is suitable for recrystallization. Ethyl acetate is a better recrystallization solvent than water. Petroleum ether is a better recrystallization solvent than methylated spirts. Recrystallization from water gives abundant white crystals. Low boiling point solvents are effective in the separation of impurites in the recrystallization.

Besides water, what is being removed from the ether layer when it is washed with a saturated NaCl solution?
TRUE OR FALSE: 1. Solids such as naphthalene when heated will pass thru a process called condensation prior to sublimation when being purified. 2.If water and n-propyl alcohol were mixed, the separation of individual components is possible with steam distillation because these two have a wide range of boiling point difference. 3. When an impurity in the synthesized camphor such as sodium chloride is present, the sublimation technique cannot be used to purify the camphor due to the nature of NaCl. 4. Organic solvents such as hexane or ether are an excellent medium to recrystallize an impure benzoic acid 5. In caffeine extraction, it is important that the tannic acid component of coffee be converted to its free acid state to avoid any interference with the extraction of caffeine

1. A vial containing an unknown sample is suspected to be one of the following compounds (mp.): urea (~133 °C), 2,4-dimethylacetanilide (~133 °C), phenacetin (~134°C) or 3-chlorobenzamide (~134 °C). A list of melting points taken on a machine when the 50% of the unknown by volume has been mixed with 50% each of the possibilities is shown in the following table: Melting point (°C) of mixture Substance mixed with unknown (50% each) urea 133.5-134.0 2,4-dimethylacetanilide phenacetin 3-chlorobenzamide 108.6-128.1 105.7-120.4 120.3-130.5 Identify the unknown and explain your reasoning, using the notes you have taken in the lab.
What is the approximate amount (mL) of 95% ethyl alcohol that will be required to dissolve the sulfanilamide in boiling ethanol? Note that Solubility of sulfanilamide in ethanol (mg/mL) is as follows: 14 mg at 0 °C; 24 mg at 20 °C; 46 mg at 40 °C; 88 mg at 60 °C; 210 mg at 80 °C. Remember that the sulfanilamide used in the experiment contains 5% wt of impurity (fluorenone); therefore, (357mg) X (0.05) = 17.85 mg impurities; hence = 357 mg -17.85 mg = X mg pure Sulfanilamide. So, (X mg) (1mL/210 mg) = Y mL (80 oC) minimum warm ethanol needed.
Give the advantages of using steam distillation in the recovery of an organic liquid from a mixture.
Your employer hands you a heterogeneous mixture and asks you to isolate all of thehexane that you can from it. After some analysis, you determine that the mixture contains toluene, hexane,benzoic acid, water, sodium chloride, and sand. Explain how you would isolate pure hexane from thismixture. Remember that you can use techniques such as filtration, extractions, and acid/base chemistrythat we learned earlier in this course in addition to distillation. You may need to look up solubilities and/orboiling points online to solve this problem. You only need to isolate the hexane?
