Could you use naoh to separate aspirin and acetaminophen by acid base extraction

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ksivusya [100]3 years ago
4 0

if you are careful. aspirin is strongly acidic and tylenol is weakly acidic. if you split the difference between the two, you can deprotonate aspirin without deprotonating tylenol. more specifically, if you use NaOH to raise the pH of a solution to approximately 7 or 8, you could effectively deprotonate all of the aspirin, making it water soluble, while leaving the tylenol protonated and not very water soluble. if the pH goes above 10, you will deprotonate the tylenol and make them both water soluble. HOPE THIS HELPED :)

Ppredict the identity of the precipitate in the below reaction:<br><br> BaCl2(aq) + K2SO4(aq) →
Annette [7]

Answer:  The precipitate formed is BaSO_4

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid or precipitated form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.  

A double displacement reaction in which one of the product is formed as a solid is called as precipitation reaction.  

The balanced chemical equation is:

K_2SO_4(aq)+BaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2KCl(aq)
