Question

You may have to recrystallize any or all of the components of your extraction mixture, benzoic acid, ethyl-4-aminobenzoate and fluorenone, depending on their purity after isolation. You should have the recystallization solvents in your protocol. They are respectively:

Answer 1

Answer:

the Recrystallization solvents are;

-Sodium Hydroxide Base (NaOH)

- Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

- Sand bath when acidic and basic components are removed.

Explanation:

Recrystallization is simply a technique used to purify an impure compound in a solvent.

Now, we want to purify the mixture of benzoic acid, Ethyl-4-aminobenzoate and fluorenone.

For the benzoic acid, it can be separated out of the mixture by addition of sodium hydroxide base (NaOH).

The Ethyl - 4 - aminobenzoate will be separated from the mixture by the addition of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl).

The fluorenone would be separated out by heating the mixture in a sand bath after the basic and acidic components have already been extracted out.

Thus, the Recrystallization solvents are;

-Sodium Hydroxide Base (NaOH)

- Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

- Sand bath when acidic and basic components are removed.
