1. Background
• Extraction is used to extract one component from a chemical mixture based on different solubilities of
the components of the mixture in different solvents
• Schematic overview of how it works……

• The black and grey mixture both dissolve in solvent #1
• A solvent #2 is added that DOES NOT MIX with solvent #1
• The BLACK component in the mixture dissolves preferentially in solvent #2
• This can happen spontaneously, i.e. just on its own, HOWEVER, most often one of the components
(BLACK in this example) undergoes a chemical reaction to cause the differential solubility

• There are three chemical process we need to discuss in order to understand what is happening here
1. Immiscible liquids (liquids that do NOT mix) – intermolecular forces again!
2. Differences in solubility – intermolecular forces again AND a NEW IMF!
3. Chemical reaction – something new!

1.1 Immiscible Liquids : We already did this!
• We already know how to understand how and why two liquids would mix with each other or not in terms of
entropy and intermolecular forces (again!)
• When two liquids mix they dissolve each other, disorder and entropy increase. The IMFs in the two liquids
have to be broken as the molecules separate, and new IMFs form in the mixture.
Example: Liquid carbon tetrachloride and liquid hexane are miscible, that can be mixed in any ratio
and a single homogeneous liquid layer will form.

The IMFs that are formed are similar to those that are broken when the liquids mix, the Thermal
Energy (RT) required for mixing is negligible, and, solution mixing is always favored by entropy.

Example: The solubility of liquid diethyl ether in liquid water (and vica versa), is small, neither are very
soluble in the other, these two liquids are immiscible.

Because the IMFs that are formed are weaker than those that are broken when the two liquids mix, the
thermal Energy (RT) required for mixing is large, and, even though mixing is favored by entropy, the two
liquids are immiscible and when mixed, form 2 layers.

For two immiscible liquids, which one is on top and which one is on the bottom?

• MOST organic liquids are less dense than water, USUALLY (but not always) the water will be the bottom
layer.

1.2 Differential Solubility based on IONIC Intermolecular forces
• Ions dissolve (are soluble) in polar protic solvents, specifically in water, due to a new InterMolecular
Force: Ion-dipole
• Dissolving an organic ionic salt in water involves:
1) Breaking STRONG IONIC I.M.F. between the ions
2) Breaking STRONG H-bonding I.M.F. in the solvent
3) Gaining strong ion-dipole IMF in the solution
Entropy AND energy gain is sufficient to overcome the energy cost of breaking the I.M.F., therefore:
SALTS DISSOLVE IN WATER

• IONS tend NOT TO DISSOLVE in less polar ORGANIC SOLVENTS (e.g. hexane)

• Dissolving an organic salt in a NONPOLAR SOLVENT involves:
1) Breaking STRONG IONIC I.M.F. between the ions
2) Breaking WEAK I.M.F. in the solvent
3) GAINING WEAK induced-dipole I.M.F. in the solution
Energy gain is NOT SUFFICIENT to overcome entropy and the energy cost of breaking the I.M.F.:
SALTS do NOT DISSOLVE IN NONPOLAR SOLVENTS

1.3 Chemical Reactions that ALTER solubility: NEUTRAL > IONS and IONS > NEUTRAL
• A chemical reaction that changes a structure from NEUTRAL to IONIC will alter the solubility of that
compound, in WATER compared to ORGANIC SOLVENTS
• A simple chemical reaction that can be used in this way is an acid/base reaction, example: benzoic acid
• CONVERT FROM NEUTRAL TO IONIC, from water INSOLUBLE to water SOLUBLE (organic solvent
soluble to organic solvent insoluble)

• CONVERT FROM IONIC TO NEUTRAL, from water SOLUBLE to water INSOLUBLE (organic solvent
insoluble to organic solvent soluble)

• The theory of acid/base reactions will be covered in detail in lecture, what you need to know for now is not
how to predict acid/base reactions, but to understand how the bond forming and breaking processes in an
acid/base reaction can interchange neutral and ionic structure and how this changes solubility in organic
solvents and water

1.4 How an Extraction works that is based on Acid/Base Reactions
Here is an example of Extraction of an Acid, Extraction of a Base follows the same principles in the
reverse order

Extraction of benzoic Acid from a mixed solution of benzoic acid and naphthalene in an organic
solvent, e.g. diethyl ether.
Here we make use of the chemical reaction NEUTRAL > ION by deprotonating the acid with a base

• FIRST: Extract the benzoic acid from the mixed solution by ionizing it so that it dissolves in water.
• An aqueous solution of BASE (e.g. NaOH) is added, which deprotonates the acid producing the conjugate
base ionic form of the acid that then dissolves in the aqueous (water) layer

• SECOND: Now that the naphthalene and the benzoic acid are in two separate liquid layers, physically
separate the two liquids layers and then isolate the two chemicals from the two solutions.

• The organic solvent layer and the water are then PHYSICALLY separated, the aqueous layer is
REMOVED INTO a SEPARATE TUBE
• The organic solvent is evaporated to leave behind only the NAPHTHALENE SOLID
• Second, an aqueous acid is added to the water layer to REPROTONATE the BENZOIC ACID, making it
neutral
• The neutral acid does NOT dissolve in water, the solid acid precipitates, and it is separated from the water
by filtration
• In this way PURE SOLID NAPHTHALENE and PURE SOLID BENZOIC ACID are SEPARATED and
ISOLATED

There is not much video help on YouTube for this lab, but is shown separation of the two liquid layers in a
microscale conical bottom tube

2. IN LAB: Bring ALL PPE to lab (long pants, goggles, closed toe shoes), you will NOT be able to work in
the lab without these. TAKE CAREFUL NOTES in your notebook, EACH STUDENT will need to do this, not
one set of notes per group, have TA check and sign your notebook before leaving lab
3. POST-LAB: Complete the POST-LAB assignment. EACH STUDENT must turn in their OWN completed
PAPER COPY to their TA at the start of next lab INDIVIDUALLY (not one per group). Submit a lab report if
there is one associated with this particular lab (most labs do not have a lab report, check the syllabus).

2.1 Extraction of an organic acid from a mixture with another organic molecule
You will be given a mixture of Benzoic acid and naphthalene. The first part of the experiment is for you to
convince yourself that the acid has very different solubilities in different solvents depending upon its
ionization state.

Make a copy of the following table in your notebook and complete it with your observations when you
attempt to dissolve benzoic acid in an organic solvent (diethyl ether), in water and water
at high pH (with base). You will determine the pH conditions under which organic acids, i.e. benzoic acid,
and organic bases dissolve in water. For each entry in the table you will write soluble (if everything
dissolves) and insoluble (if nothing dissolves).

Solid diethyl ether
(organic solvent)
H2O NaOH 6M – pH ~ 14
Benzoic Acid (an
organic acid)

• In three clean test tubes, add a small quantity (the tip of a spatula, ~0.05g) of the organic acid benzoic
acid to each of them and label them.

• Add 0.5 mL of diethyl ether to one of the test tubes containing benzoic acid and shake it. Observe if
anything dissolves and record it in the solubility table.

• Add 0.5 mL of deionized H2O to one of the test tubes containing benzoic acid and shake it. The pH of this
solution will be close to neutral, roughly 7 or so. Observe if anything dissolves and record it in the solubility
table.

• Add 0.5 mL of 6M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to one of the test tubes containing benzoic acid and shake it.
The pH of this solution will be high, around 14 or so. Observe if anything dissolves and record it in the
solubility table.

Write in your lab notebook as part of your in lab:
• Under which solvent conditions benzoic acid will dissolve

2.2 Extraction of an organic acid or base from a mixture: FIRST: dissolving the mixture in the
organic solvent.
• Weigh roughly 150 mg of the mixture of benzoic acid and naphthalene into a centrifuge tube. The mass
doesn’t have to be exactly 150 mg but be sure to record exactly how much YOU weighed.

7
• Add roughly 5 mL of diethyl ether to the centrifuge tube and gently shake until everything is dissolved. If
there is still a fine suspension, then add 1 more mL of diethyl ether and try again. Keep adding 1 mL of the
ether until everything has dissolved UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 8 mL. If all the material does not dissolve after
adding 8 mL, ignore the suspension and continue.

2.2.1 Extraction of an ORGANIC ACID using base
• Add 2 mL of the 3 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to the centrifuge tube. Gently shake to mix and
then cap the tube and make sure that the cap doesn’t leak. Shake more vigorously for just a couple of
seconds and then slowly unscrew the cap a little to release any pressure build up from evaporation of the
volatile ether. Tighten the cap again and then shake more vigorously again for just a couple of seconds and
release the cap again. Let the tube settle so that the organic and aqueous layers separate, and then extract
the lower water layer with a pipette and put in into a small clean beaker.

• Repeat this procedure with another 2 mL of the sodium hydroxide solution, shake and vent a couple of
times as before and then extract the water layer again into the same small beaker with a pipette.

• Add 1 mL of deionized water to the diethyl ether organic solution that is still in the centrifuge tube and
shake (with the cap on) to wash the ether to extract any remaining inorganic materials. Remove the water
layer and add it to the water solution in the beaker. Add another 1 mL of deionized water and wash again.
This time try to completely remove the water layer, and add it also to the water solution in the same beaker.

• A this point you should have the naphthalene in the diethyl ether solution in the centrifuge tube, and
separated from it, the anionic form of the organic acid as an aqueous ionic salt solution in the beaker.

2.2.2 Recovery of the organic acid from the water solution
• The organic acid needs to be returned to the neutral form so that it will precipitate out of the water solution
so that it can be isolated.
• Slowly and carefully, add 6M HCl solution DROP-BY-DROP with gentle shaking from a pipette to the
water solution until the pH reaches roughly 2.0. The solution needs to be quite acidic to ensure that the
organic acid is all in the protonated neutral form. As you add the acid you will start to see the solid organic
acid start to precipitate and the solution may become cloudy. This is the neutral acid coming out of solution.
• Set up a Hirsch funnel for filtration. Filter the water solution through the Hirsch funnel, scrape as many of
the benzoic acid crystals as possible into the filter funnel. Rinse the beaker with 1 mL of deionized water
and filter this also, trying to get as much of the solid as possible onto the filer paper. Leave the vacuum
running, pulling air through the filter paper for at least 10 minutes to dry your crystals.
• When they are as dry as possible, weigh your benzoic acid crystals, take a melting point and calculate the
percent recovery.

• You have now separated your acid by extraction in a high pH solution and re-precipitation in a low
pH solution.

2.3.3 Recovery of the non-polar compound from the diethyl ether solution
• The diethyl ether solution will still be wet because of the exposure to water, and so the solution needs to
be dried. Add small spatula ends full of sodium sulfate (drying agent) to the ether solution. Sodium sulfate is
a simple inorganic ionic solid that will absorb any water in the ether because the water is “attracted” to the
ionic solid due to the strong ion-dipole interactions.

• the sodium sulfate will not dissolve, but it may “clump” together as it gets wet with water. Keep adding
SMALL quantities of the sodium sulfate until it no longer clumps when added. Try to add the minimum
amount of the sodium sulfate.
• You now have to separate the solid sodium sulfate from the ether solution. Allow the solid to settle and
then carefully decant the ether solution into another clean beaker, pouring very slowly to avoid transferring
the solid sodium sulfate. Do not try to get all of the solvent at first, leave a little in the centrifuge tube with
the solid and then add 1 mL additional ether to the centrifuge tube with the solid and decant again. This way
you will wash most of the organics out of the centrifuge tube and leave as much of the sodium sulfate
behind as possible.
• Leave the beaker with the diethyl ether solution in the back of a fume hood close to a vent and allow the
ether to evaporate to dryness, OR, CAREFULLY blow a GENTLE stream if air with a pipette over the
solution to evaporate the solvent (be CAREFUL, the air stream can be strong when you first open the valve
and can blow your sample away), leaving naphthalene crystals behind.
• When they are as dry as possible, weigh your naphthalene crystals, take a melting point and calculate the
percent recovery.

2.4 Waste Disposal
• Discard used melting point tubes in a SHARPS CONTAINER!
• Dispose of unused organic chemicals (naphthalene, benzoic acid etc.) in the ORGANIC WASTE
CONTAINER in the back hood
• Dispose of aqueous samples in the acid or base waste containers as appropriate (CHECK pH FIRST!)

2.5 Troubleshooting the DigiMelt Machine
The Controls:

Box 1: Temperature Menu (e.g. Pushing start temp lets you control the starting
temperature.)
Box 2: Use these buttons to increase or decrease the settings.
Box 3: The Start/Stop buttons start or stop the machine depending on the status of
the melting point apparatus (preheating, ready, melting, or cooling).

• Set the start temp, ramp rate, and stop temperatures using the appropriate
temperature (Boxes 1 and 2) before pushing the start/stop button (Box 3).
• After you push the start/stop button, the machine will preheat to the starting temp
first. If the machine is too hot and your starting temp is lower than the current temperature of the machine,
the machine will need to cool to the desired starting temp first.
• Once the starting temperature has been reached, a green light will turn on, “Ready”. Push the start/stop
button again. When you are taking the melting point, the red light next to “Melt” must be lit.
• Once you are done measuring the melting point range, make sure to stop the machine by pushing the
start/stop button again. Make sure the machine is cooling down before you walk away from the machine.

2.6 Safety
Because this is a chemistry lab where you will be handling chemicals, accidents and contamination can
happen. It is important you wear your full PPE and be conscious about your cellphone use (which is not

allowed in the lab). Most lab injuries are caused by cross contamination with your gloves or splashes when
transferring solvents. Sometimes you don’t notice your gloves are contaminated and you touch your face or
handle your cellphone. Although we will constantly remind you of the proper use of PPE and lab safety
procedures, if and accident/injury/incident happens and you feel any irritation on your skin due to contact
with the chemicals used in this lab, you need to bring this to the attention of your TA immediately.

You will be using strong acid and base solutions, both of which could be hazardous if not used
carefully. Be sure to make sure that neither of these come into contact with your skin since both are
potentially corrosive and irritants and can permeate the skin. Be very careful to also avoid eye
contact (irritant, corrosive) and ingestion. Hydrochloric acid is also an inhalation hazard, avoid
breathing in the fumes.

Eye contact: Remove contact glasses and rinse eyes for at least 15 min in the eyewash while keeping your
eyes open. This can be very uncomfortable so ask for assistance to keep your eyes open and count the
time. Seek immediate medical attention.

Skin contact: Rinse for 15 min in the sink or eye wash (depending on the affected area) with soap in case
of serious skin contact and water. Remove any contaminated items of clothing and shoes. Seek immediate
medical attention.

Inhalation: Get fresh air. If you experience difficulty in breathing, then loosen your tie, belt, collar etc. Seek
immediate medical attention.

Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do NOT induce vomiting unless indicated by a medical personnel and
seek immediate medical attention.

It is very important to try to remain calm if an accident or injury happens and immediately inform the TA to
receive the appropriate care as needed.

3. Pre-Lab and In-Lab Notebook (10 pts)

3.1 General Lab Notebook Guidelines
A lab notebook is the standard way to organize, collect, and maintain data generated in lab. A well-kept lab notebook
should contain all of the information necessary for a third party to reproduce the experiment and corresponding data.
The lab notebook should be bound (a composition notebook works best) without perforated pages. A “spiral” lab
notebook is not acceptable, as the pages can be torn out easily.
The general guidelines for setting up your lab notebook are as follows:
• Page 1: Name; Course & Semester; Contact information (email)
• Page 2-3: Table of Contents
• Page 4 to the end: See the lab packet for each experiment for the details of what to include in the PRE-LAB
and IN LAB each week

Occasionally you will make a mistake while writing in a lab notebook. This is completely acceptable, science is messy
and you are learning. If you make a mistake, simply cross the mistake out with a single line (regardless of the size of
the error), initial the line, and date it. This lets everyone who reads the notebook know that you made a mistake and
that the piece of information is invalid. It is also important to use only a single line so that the original information can
still be read. Other things NOT to do in a lab notebook include:
• Adding or editing information after the lab period has ended.
• Writing in pencil.
• Scratching out information so it is no longer legible.
• Adding or removing pages.
• Using white out.
• Falsifying data.

Learning to organize and maintain a useful lab notebook is a skill that you will use in many scientific careers

3.2 Pre-Lab (5 pts)
You MUST have the following Pre-lab completed in your notebook and checked by the TA at the
beginning of lab! All parts of the Pre-lab must be handwritten IN INK. Include all of the following as part
of your pre-lab assignment:
1. Title and date of the experiment
2. Purpose of the experiment
3. Reaction (if applicable)
4. A completed version of the Table below. Look up the molecular structure, molecular weight, melting point
and MSDS information

The information you will need to complete this table is available from several websites, a good one is the
Sigma Aldrich website (www.sigmaaldrich.com). On the Sigma Aldrich site:
– Search for the compound
– The search will generate a list of different forms of the compound that the Sigma Aldrich sells.
– Choose the link for a pure form of the compound (not a solution, for example), and you should be able to
find the compound’s molecular structure, molecular weight, and melting point.
– Below the compound’s name, there should be a button “MSDS”. Click the button to get a pdf file of the
Materials Safety Data Sheet. Scroll to Section 2.2 of the document (“Hazards Identification”) and write
down the relevant information under “Hazard Statement(s)”.

5. Write in your notebook a response to the following SAFETY Questions
• What is the emergency procedure in case of skin contact with either the acid or base solution?

• What is the emergency procedure in case of inhalation of hydrochloric acid?

6. Complete the Table below using information in Section 2.2 of this packet

3.3 In Lab (5 pts)
IN LAB means the information you should be recording while you are IN lab each week. This will include:
• Quantities measured (volumes, weights, etc.)
• Observations (e.g. were there color changes? If appropriate, is the reaction refluxing properly? What
temperature is the reaction or the experiment? Is the apparatus leaking? How much time has
elapsed? Did a precipitate form?)
• All of the resulting data (e.g. melting point ranges, Rf values, IR spectral data)
• Percent Yield calculations (if applicable)
• Percent Recovery and any other calculations (if applicable)
• Important spectral data in a table (in case you lose the actual spectrum)
• Conclusions (Did the experiment work? Based on melting point, % recovery, yield, IR data, etc.)
• Anything that went wrong with the experiment

Everything written in your lab notebook must be legible and handwritten IN INK. The book should be
clean (no chemical spills etc.), should use correct notebook style, with mistakes crossed out with a line.

Have your notebook checked by your TA before you leave the lab!
