4. List the steps in the systematic procedure for miniscale recrystallization, briefly explaining the purpose of each step.
-Selection of solvent – The correct solvent must be selected to form a product of high purity and in good recovery. The solvent must fit some criteria. The desired compound should be soluble in the hot solvent but insoluble in the cold solvent. The impurities should be insoluble in all temperatures of the solvent or slightly soluble in a cold solvent. The boiling point of the solvent should be low enough to remove the crystals. The solvent should not react chemically with the solids that are being purified. The solvent needs to have a boiling point lower than the melting point of the solids.
-Dissolution – the mixture

Add decolorizing carbon to remove the colored impurities.
-Hot Filtration – this separates the insoluble impurities from the soluble pure compound by pouring the solution through a hot filtration apparatus (filter).
-Formation (Recrystallization) – allows the hot solution to cool and begin to form crystals. For rapid cooling, an ice water bath can be used.
-Isolation – Using a vacuum filtration, the excess solvent will be removed from the crystals.
-Drying the crystals – the crystals will be transferred from the Buchner or Hirsch funnel in vacuum filtration to a watch glass. Cover the watch glass with a filter paper to protect from airborne contaminants. Drying the crystals will remove any last traces of solvent from the crystals.
5. In performing a hot filtration at the miniscale level, what might happen if the filter funnel is not preheated before the solution is poured through it?
The solution would start to cool and the dissolved pure compound might also cool down as it is being poured through the unheated filter. Ultimately, an unheated filter will leads to filtering out some of the pure

The following solvent selection data [found on page 109] were collected for two different impure solids. Based on these results, what solvents or mixture of solvents might you consider using to recrystallize solids A and B? Explain.
For solid A, cyclohexane is the best solvent because when Solid A is dissolved in cyclohexane, a large amount of crystals of the pure compound can be separated. Based on the table, many crystals will form once cooling is done.
Since the solids should be insoluble when the solvent is cold and soluble when the solvent is hot, a mixture of solvents might be best for Solid B. However, based on the table, there does not seem to be an appropriate mixture to make the desired solvent. None of the available solvents will dissolves the solids when the solvent is hot.
23. The goal of the recrystallization procedure is to obtain purified material with a maximized recovery. For each of the items listed, explain why this goal would be adversely affected.
1. In the solution step, an unnecessarily large volume of solvent is used.
A large amount of the pure compound will still be dissolved in the solution.
2. The crystals obtained after filtration are not washed with fresh cold solvent before
The mixture was poured through a weight filter paper and Sucrose washed with a 5ml of dichloromethane. The resulting solid was left in a breaker to dry for one week, to be measured. Left it in the drawer to dry out for a week and weighted it to find the sucrose amount recovered amount.
Saturated sodium chloride solution, also known as brine solution, is used to wash the distillate mixture. The distillate mixture is the phosphoric acid the co-distilled with the product. The brine solution also removes most of the water from the 4-methylcyclohexane layer. When six drops of 4-methylcyclohexene were added with two
Anne Zhang 3/6/14 BSGE 7-1 Lab Report Problem Paragraph 1 Question: What is the effect of temperature on the dissolving time of an Alka-Seltzer? Alka-Seltzer is made up of baking soda, aspirin, and citric acid which gives the tablet the fizz when dropped in any temperature water. “Alka-Seltzer is a medication that works as a pain reliever and an antacid.
For this experiment we have to use physical methods to separate the reaction mixture from the liquid. The physical methods that were used are filtration and evaporation. Filtration is the separation of a solid from a liquid by passing the liquid through a porous material, such as filter paper. Evaporation is when you place the residue and the damp filter paper into a drying oven to draw moisture from it by heating it and leaving only the dry solid portion behind (Lab Guide pg. 33.).
Hypothesis: The Alka Seltzer will dissolve fastest in hot water and slowest in cold water.
Once the mixture had been completely dissolved, the solution was transferred to a separatory funnel. The solution was then extracted twice using 5.0 mL of 1 M
The solvent should be easily removed from the purified product, not react with the target substances, and should only dissolve the target substance near it’s boiling point, but none at freezing. A successful recrystallization uses minimum amount of solvent, and cools the solution slowly, if done to fast, many impurities will be left in the crystals. Using the correct solvent, in this case ice water and ethyl acetate, the impurities in the compound can be dissolved to obtain just the pure compound. A mixed solvent was used to control the solubility of the product. The product is soluble in ethanol an insoluble in water. Adding water reduced solubility and saturates the solution and then the crystals

The objective of this experiment was to perform extraction. This is a separation and purification technique, based on different solubility of compounds in immiscible solvent mixtures. Extraction is conducted by shaking the solution with the solvent, until two layers are formed. One layer can then be separated from the other. If the separation does not happen in one try, multiple attempts may be needed.
..., the dissolved substance, in a given solvent, the dissolving substance. Solubility is a characteristic property of a given solid in any given liquid, and when the solubility of a solid is reached the solution is considered saturated. A saturated solution is a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in the solvent and no more solute can dissolve. Furthermore, in lab 4.1 we incrementally added solid until the solution was saturated and noted when it was saturated but did not find the solubility of the solid. Contrary to lab 4.1, in lab 4.3 we started with a saturated solution, and then removed the water, giving us the maximum amount of solid per volume of liquid otherwise known as the solubility of the solid. In conclusion, lab 4.3 allowed us to find the accurate solubility of two solids and gave us a method to find the solubility of a solid.
8. Continue to heat the crucible, occasionally lifting the lid with tongs to provide oxygen for the reaction
...nding on the type of raw materials used, the conditions of crystallization, zeolite crystallinity degree and the desired composition. After that, the crystallized zeolite is separated using rotary vacuum filters and washed with water. These zeolites then undergo few treatments to convert it into catalytic acitve material. The NaY zeolite is exchanged with ammonium ions to get rid of the sodium ions in an ionic exchange tanks which is then filtered out and sprayed with the exchange solution. The excess salts on the exchanged zeolites are removed by washing it. During hydrothermal treatment of the zeolite, it is partially dealmuninated and stabilized and the sodium ions that remains is moved to exchangeable position. The degree of dealumination and unit size of the product is determine through calcination conditions to obtain the microcrystallize product of zeolite.
2nd step heat the mixture: Make sure the agarose dissolves. Wait until it boils and when you are going to transfer the mixture, wear gloves to avoid getting burnt. Transfer the mixture into a removable gel tray.
Cold-pour sealants are delivered to the job site in liquid form. They are then poured directly into the crack. Hot-pour sealants arrive as solids that must be melted before they are poured into the crack.
“Water purification is removing undesired chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from contaminated water” (www.science.howstuffworks.com). The first experiments for water purification and filtration were in the seventeenth century. Sir Francis Bacon attempted to remove salts from seawater by passing through a filter made up of sand, charcoal, and rocks (www.science.howstuffworks.com). Water filtration has grown and become more advanced in technology over the past centuries (www.a...
