A mixture of camphor and benzoic acid can be easily separated by?
Benzoic acid is more soluble than camphor in ethanol. The solution can be filtrated.
How would you separate a mixture of salt gravel and power?
Salt is soluble in water; gravel is separated by filtering the solution or by decantation.Power is not a material.
How do you separate a mixture of oleic acid and solid potassium nitrate and powdered charcoal?
Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, the solution is filtered and evaporated.Oleic acid is soluble in ethanol and separated by filtration and evaporation of the alcohol.
Which mixture cannot be separated with a screen or paper filter?
Several types: mixtures with extremely fine solids (viruses are an example), and mixtures of liquids that are mutually soluble (alcohol and water).
A heterogeneous mixture is to homogeneous mixture as immiscible liquids are to what?
miscible (soluble)
A mixture of camphor and benzoic acid can be easily separated by?
Benzoic acid is more soluble than camphor in ethanol. The solution can be filtrated.
Is benzoic acid soluble in kerosene.?
Benzoic acid is soluble in kerosene.
How do you separate benzoic acid from a mixture of napthalene and benzoic acid?
well Naphtali has a much lower boiling point so u can distill it off, or u can add water wich the benzoic acid is slightly soluble in, than boil it off.
Is benzoic acid is soluble in NaOH?
no, it is insoluble
Is benzoic acid soluble?
Benzoic acid is soluble in water, as are all acids, by definition. An acid is a chemical which, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of H+ ions.
Can benzoic acid dissolve in acetone?
It is partially soluble.
How do you separate benzoic acid from a mixture of CONGO RED and salt?
Dissolve the mixture in an apolar organic solvent, such as diethyl ether, and extract the acid with the addition of NaOH. The bezoic acid with ionize and go into the aqueous solution. Separate the two layers and add HCl to the aqueous layer to precipitate the benzoic acid. Wash the remaing ether solution with water and dry it with an anhydrous salt. Filter the ether solution and then remove the ether, the solvent, in order to obtain the pure benzoin.
What is the solubility of benzoic acid in chloroform?
it is soluble in chloroform. Chloroform is nonpolar.
How do you separate benzoic acid from a mixture of benzoic acid and toluene using extraction?
Make a solution of Sodium Hydroxide or Sodium Carbonate and do three to four solvent solvent extractions using the aqueous base and the mixture o benzoic acid and toluene. Because benzoic acid reacts with base to form the water soluble carboxylate ion, it will react and the dissolve in the aqueous solution. Upon separation of the two phases acidify the aqueous extract with dilute HCl, a white needle-like precipitate of benzoic acid will form when the solution becomes acidic. Simply filter the crystals, wash with cold water, and then recrystallize using a mixture of 50/50 water and methanol or some other suitable solvent.
How would you separate a mixture of salt gravel and power?
Salt is soluble in water; gravel is separated by filtering the solution or by decantation.Power is not a material.
How can a mixture be separated by using physical properties?
A mixture of salt and sand can be separated because the salt is soluble while the sand is not.
To make a saturated solution of benzoic acid using benzene as the solvent how much is need of each?
I can't find a number, but I found this: Benzoic acid is slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, very slightly soluble in benzene and acetone. (see link on the left under Web Links) This implies not very much benzoic acid will dissolve in benzene. This other site (the MSDS for benzoic acid) says this: SOLVENT SOLUBILITY: Soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform, acetone, carbon disulfide, oil of turpentine, carbon tetrachloride, fixed and volatile oils; slightly soluble in petroleum ether, hexane. This does make it sound fairly soluble! Hard to say which is right. This can easily be determined by experiment however!
