It dissociates partially in the water to give acidic solution. Also NaOH is a strong alkali and give hyroxyl ions. So carboxylic acid reacts with aqueous NaOH to give the salt and water like other acid - base reactions. Sodium carboxylate ion is given as the salt.
Water is also produced. In following examples, we discuss some reactions of carboxylic acids and aqueous NaOH. This reaction is an exothermic reaction which releases heat to the outside when reaction is being haappened.
Therefore temperature of the reaction mixture increases with time. Strong base and weak acid react and produce weak basic salt. So, sodium carboxylate has weak basic characteristics. Sodium ethanoate and water are given by the reaction of ethanoic acid and aqueous NaOH. Sodium ethanoate is soluble in water. Benzoic acid reacts with aqueous NaOH to sodium benzoate salt.
Benzoic acid is a white precipitate. But during the reaction, that precipitate dissolve in aqueous phase. That tells us, sodium benzoate is soluble in water due to forming positive and negative ions. After several dissolving and heating additional recrystallization steps takes place until pure white sucrose is produced.
Overall, the process of recrystallization has been used to remove impurities which remain in the liquid, called the "mother liquor" and produce pure crystalline sucrose. In addition to recrystallization, organic chemists use extractions to purify chemicals from other chemicals that we might not want. Recrystallization is based on the fact that chemicals, when they form crystals, tend to associate with other identical chemicals, hence the ultimate production of pure sucrose crystals which are eventually prepared.
For solvent extractions, we rely on the ability to separate one chemical from another chemical utilizing differences in solubility. Most organic chemicals dissolve readily in organic solvents. For example, both of the organic chemicals used in this experiment benzoic acid and m -nitroaniline , dissolve in ether actually diethyl ether CH 3 CH 2 -O-CH 2 CH 3 , and neither of these chemicals dissolve appreciably in water.
So, how do we make one of these chemicals partition i. We can chemically alter one of these chemicals to make it "want" to dissolve in water, instead of the ether. This is a simple acid-base reaction. The OH! The benzoate ion is now charged after the removal of the acidic proton and prefers to be in the aqueous phase instead of the organic phase.
Following this reaction, all the benzoic acid existing now completely as an ion will be found in the aqueous phase. Once the aqueous phase is removed from the organic phase you will have purified extracted the benzoate ion away from the other organic chemical. You will need to convert the benzoate ion back to benzoic acid by adding 6 M HCl this step reverses the reaction shown above.
Since benzoic acid is almost completely insoluble in water, it will form a precipitate this is recrystallization. Finally, in order to characterize your recrystallized product, you will perform a melt point analysis on the isolated benzoic acid. The melting point of a chemical is a useful physical constant that can be used to verify chemical identity and purity.
However, you will need to store your recrystallized benzoic acid in the drying oven until the next lab period because you must have completely dry solids in order to do a melt point analysis. Add about 5 mL of water to a separatory funnel make certain the stopcock works properly, is tight, but able to be turned, so that it does not leak. Then, add about 15 mL of diethyl ether to the separatory funnel. You should observe two phases.
Even though the liquids are each colorless, the ether, which is less dense than the water, will float on top, much like oil floating on water.
You should be able to see the dividing line between the two liquids, called the interface. With the separatory funnel resting in a metal O-ring clamped to a ring stand, or in a cork ring if the metal O-ring is too large for the separatory funnel , add the dry chemical mixture directly to the liquid contents of the funnel. Use the weighing paper you used to weigh the solid as a folded funnel to pour all the dry chemicals into the separatory funnel.
Insert a ground-glass stopper into the top of the separatory funnel, and mix the contents by swirling or shaking the contents. While the same series of experimental steps are generally used to carry out both of these techniques, and they use the same theory, the main difference is that in an extraction you are moving a substance you want to keep into a new solvent, while in washing you are moving a substance you will throw away into a new substance.
In this experiment you will be given a mixture containing 2-methoxynaphthalene, m -nitroaniline and benzoic acid. The first step in the separation will be to dissolve the entire mixture in one organic solvent diethyl ether. You will use the chemical and physical properties of these compounds to determine how to separate them in pure form using extractions and washings, where necessary , and isolate the m -nitroaniline and benzoic acid in solid form.
Follow the guidelines given in chapter 15 of Zubrick in determining the solvents you will use, the order in which you perform the extractions, and the methods you will use to get each compound back into the solid form. To do the experiment, obtain about 3 grams 2. You will be separating from the above mixture pure benzoic acid and pure m -nitroaniline. Under normal conditions, all three of your organic compounds will dissolve in the organic layer the diethyl ether , not the aqueous layer.
The only way to separate the organic compounds from each other is to rely on their chemical properties, not just physical properties. To this end, you should always remember that neutral organic compounds do not dissolve to a great extent in aqueous solutions. Alternatively, charged organic compounds will often dissolve in aqueous solvents because they are ions. Conversely, neutral organic compounds dissolve in organic solvents e. It is possible to force an organic compound, that is charged, out of the organic phase into the aqueous phase.
This process is usually performed using a Separatory Funnel. When a compound leaves one phase and goes into the other phase, this process is referred to as partitioning. For example, when the benzoate ion, derived from benzoic acid, leaves the ether phase and goes into the aqueous phase, we refer to this as partitioning into the aqueous phase. The figures below show how this is done in order to isolate different compounds based on their acid-base properties.
Benzoic acid is soluble in ether, but when neutralized and converted into benzoate ion, it is now soluble in water, so will partition into the lower aqueous phase, leaving uncharged organic compounds in the ether. Once the aqueous layer is isolated, benzoic acid is easily isolated when the benzoate ion is converted back into benzoic acid following the addition of 6 M HCl.
However, when a solution of 1 M HCl is added to the Separatory Funnel, the amino group accepts a proton which produces a charged molecule. This charged molecule then partitions into the aqueous layer, and can be collected. When the aqueous layer has 6 M NaOH added to you, the m -nitroaniline is regenerated, and since it is now insoluble in water, you can collect it as a solid. The general rule you must remember is that uncharged organic compounds stay in the organic e.
Charged organic compounds partition into the aqueous layer. It doesn't matter whether the organic compound acquires a positive or negative charge, it will partition into the aqueous layer, out of the organic layer.
Acids i. Bases e. Charged molecules partition into the aqueous layer and uncharged molecules partition into the organic layer. Using a powder funnel a plastic funnel with a wider opening and that fits in the ground-glass opening of your Separatory Funnel add all of your mixture to the Separatory Funnel.
Add the following to the Separatory Funnel:. By adding the NaOH to the organic compound mixture with diethyl ether , you will convert the benzoic acid uncharged into sodium benzoate negatively charged , which is now soluble in aqueous solutions. The other organic compounds, which stay neutral in basic solutions stay uncharged in the diethyl ether layer.
