Some organic solvents do not work well in liquid-liquid aqueous extractions. Ethanol (HOCH2CH3) is a common inexpensive solvent, but is a poor solvent for extractions. In ten or fewer words, provide an explanation for why ethanol is a poor solvent selection for extraction. Hint: you may want to look up various properties of the molecule.

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.
Which statement is true? Statement 1: Given equal total volume of organic solvent, single extraction is more efficient than multiple extractions. Statement 2: Given equal total volume of organic solvent, multiple extractions is more efficient than single extraction
In this lab you are performing your first organic synthesis and safety information on all the materials you are using must be obtained. Companies are required to provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemical compounds they sell. Please examine the MSDS for salicylic acid, available here. You will find GHS pictograms within the sheet that summarize the main hazards of this compound. The pictograms are essentially the same as the symbols on WHMIS labels, available here for reference. Based on the pictograms, whatare the main hazards for salicylic acid? Select as many answers as appropriate Select one or more: Acute oral or inhalation toxicity Flammable material Carcinogen Self-reactive substance Gas under pressure Corrosive Oxidizing material
Cinnamon is made up of a mixture of many compounds. Cinnamaldehyde is the component responsible for cinnamon flavor. Several of these compounds are also a potent antimicrobial compounds present in essential oils. The following results were obtained for known concentrations of three of the compounds. Concentration (mg sample/200 uL) Cinnamaldehyde Eugenol Thymol 0.50 0.4 0.65 1.8 0.75 1.0 0.8 1.10 1.2 1.25 2.0 1.30 3.0 1.50 1.5 1.90 3.1 2.0 4.6 2.50 4.0 5.8 Determine the calibration curve equations for each component including regression. which component has the highest calibration sensitivity? A sample containing the three essential oils in part b gave the peak areas relative to the internal standard of cinnamaldehyde 2.6, eugenol 0.9 and thymol 3.8. Determine the concentration of each of the oils in the sample and the standard deviations.
methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol are poor extraction solvent. why?
The substance to be analyzed – is white, highly soluble in water salt. Flame coloration test gives weakly-violet color. Interaction with concentrated sulfuric acid leads to evolving of reddish-brown gas with pungent odour. Mixing of salt water solution with chlorine water in presence of trichloromethane changes of color of organic layer to orange. What kind of substance is this? KBr СаCl SrCl, KNO2
