Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason of performing a simple distillation needs to be determined from the given options.

Concept Introduction: Solvent extraction method is also called as liquid-liquid extraction. It is the method that is used to separate compounds on the basis of their relative solubility in two different immiscible solvents.

Here, the immiscible solvents cannot get mixed up together therefore they make two separate layers. In the extraction of a solute from one liquid, another immiscible solvent must be used. Usually water is used with certain organic solvent as organic solvent and water are immiscible into each other. At equilibrium the ratio of concentration of solute is constant in each layer that can be represented by partition coefficient or distribution coefficient. It is the ratio of the concentration of a substance in one medium (C1) to the concentration in a second medium (C2) at equilibrium.

  Kd =  C1C2

Assume that your compound recrystallizes equally well from benzyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. Which solvent is the better choice for recrystallization? a. Benzyl alcohol because it is miscible with water. b. Isopropyl alcohol is better because it has a much lower boiling point and is easier evaporate off c. A mixed solvent - benzyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol d. It doesn't matter which one if they work equally in the recrystallization process.
Which of the following should be done if there is no recrystallization due to the unsaturation of the solution? (mixed solvent recrystallization) a. Crystal seeding b. Scratching the inner walls or bottom of container c. Further boiling of solvent d. Adding small amount of sample
a. What are the qualities of a perfect solvent for recrystallization? b. How much solvent must be used in the recrystallization and why?
