Ethanol is used because the Aspirin can dissolve into it however when it is then added into the water the aspirin can dissolve so comes back and re appears and as it reappears it comes back purer than before

How do you separate ethanol and sugar?

To separate ethanol and sugar, you can use a process called distillation. Ethanol has a lower boiling point than sugar, so by heating the mixture, the ethanol will vaporize first and can be collected as a separate component. This allows you to separate the ethanol from the sugar in the mixture.


How to obtain pure water and ethanol from a mixture of sea water and ethanol?

You would use distillation, in which the ethanol and water will boil at different temperatures.


How much water should be used for the recrystallisation of benzoic acid?

depends on how much benzoic acid you use. if you have 0.5g of benzoic acid , you need 30ml of water as a solvent.


How do you calculate the density of an ethanol-water mixture?

To calculate the density of an ethanol-water mixture, you would use the formula: Density (mass of ethanol mass of water) / (volume of ethanol volume of water) You would need to know the masses and volumes of both ethanol and water in the mixture. Then, you can plug these values into the formula to find the density of the mixture.

In iodoform test can you use ethanol instead of water?

No, you should not use ethanol instead of water when conducting the iodoform test. The test relies on the reaction of iodine with an alcohol in the presence of a base, typically sodium hydroxide, to form iodoform. Water is usually used in the test to help facilitate the reaction. Substituting ethanol for water can affect the outcome of the test.

Why is it not possible to use ethanol to extract an organic compound from water?

Ethanol is miscible with water, which means that it mixes completely with water. As a result, using ethanol to extract an organic compound from water would not effectively separate the two substances since the compound would end up being mixed with both the water and the ethanol. This would make it difficult to isolate the organic compound.


Solution of water and aspirin an acid?

Yes it will be weakly acidic. Aspirin's scientific name is acetylsalicylic acid, with a pKa of 3.5. This would mean that for a solution of 0.1 M aspirin, the pH of the solution would be approximately 2.26.


Can you use ethanol in extraction with water?

No, ethanol and water are miscible. For an extraction, you want two solvents that are immiscible (mutually insoluble). Standard choices for the organic phase are ethyl acetate or dichloromethane. For the aqueous phase, use water, aqueous acid or aqueous base, depending on the compound you are trying to isolate.
