How pure benzoic acid may be separated form a solution of sand and benzoic acid?

To separate benzoic acid from a solution of sand and benzoic acid, you can use solvent extraction. Benzoic acid is soluble in organic solvents like diethyl ether, while sand is not. By adding diethyl ether to the solution, the benzoic acid will dissolve in the ether, allowing you to separate it from the sand by decanting or filtration. Then, evaporate the diethyl ether to recover the pure benzoic acid.


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.


Why is benzoic acid is extracted into ether then extracted into an alkali solution prior to being precipitated with strong acid in its preparation with grignard reagent?

When you're attempting to extract benzoic acid from other organic compounds, it is necessary to change its pH by adding a layer of an basic compound such as 1M NaOH so that the benzoic acid then can be separated from the organic layer within a separatory funnel. When in NaOH, the benzoic acid loses a proton and thus becomes its conjugate base (the benzoate ion). The benzoate ion is charged and thus become miscible in the aqueous layer. To extract benzoic acid (ie get it to precipitate out of solution), a strong acid such as HCl must be added to solution. After the extraction, lower the pH of the solution, and recrystalize (use ice after the recrystalization to get benzoic acid crystals to crash out).


Why benzoic acid soluble in ethyl acetate?

Benzoic acid is soluble in ethyl acetate because both substances are polar and possess similar polarities. This similarity in polarity allows for a strong intermolecular attraction between the two molecules, facilitating their dissolution in each other.


How do you detect benzene in the Grignard synthesis of benzoic acid?

Not sure what you mean... If you mean 'how is benzene used for the Grignard synthesis of Benzoic Acid,' then the answer is, bromobenzene (C6H5Br) is turned into phenyl Grignard (C6H5MgBr) by the addition of Magnesium in ether, and then dry ice (solid CO2) is added to the reaction mixture to make Benzoate (C6H5COO-), which is the conjugate base of Benzoic Acid. That has got to help you somehow.


Is oil miscible in ether?

No, oil is not miscible in ether. Oil is typically nonpolar, while ether is polar, which leads to a lack of solubility between the two substances. Instead of mixing, oil and ether will typically form separate layers when combined.

Why is it necessary to extract the ether layer with sodium hydroxide?

In this step of the experiment you are trying to separate benzoic acid from biphenyl an impurity. Sodium hydroxide reacts with benzoic acid to form (ar-O-O(-)na(+)) and (H2O), this allows for the ether layer containing biphenyl to separate as the precipitant, which we can now extract and discard.


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!
