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?
Chandanpal143
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).

What is peptization?
Peptization is the process by which precipitated solution is converted into colloidal solution.
Do the crystals precipitated from a solution have unique crystal forms?
Crystals precipitated from a solution has unique crystal forms. These are formed with the subsequent growth in its nuclei and the solution contains more solute entities that impacts the crystal formation.Ê
What is ionic precipitation?
This is the preparation of Insoluble Salts.Insoluble Salts can be made by precipitation. This involves mixing a solution that contains its Positive ions with another solution that contains its Negative ions, For example , insoluble silver chloride is precipitated when solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride solutions are mixed together.
Why can plants be used to make paper?
The cell walls of plants are made of a sugar polymer called cellulose. Frequently this cellulose is formed into fibers to strengthen the plant and if the plant is taken and these cellulose fibers extracted and washed, they then then be precipitated out of solution as a mat. When dry this mat is paper.
