Question
Refer to diagram below that illustrates the principles of solvent-solvent extraction 1) mixture of compounds introduced to solvent pair. 2) compounds partition into solvent of like polarity. 3) drain individual layers to isolate the separated compounds Use the following solvents to answer the question part A-D: # 1 Dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) has a density of 1 00 g/mL. #2 Methylene chloride (CH2C12) has a density of 1.33 g/mL A. Indicate whether each solvent is polar or non-polar B. These solvents are immiscible. If equal amounts of both solvents were put into a separatory funnel and it was then shaken, would 0, 1, or 2 layers be produced in the funnel? C. Indicate which solvent would be present is the top layer and which solvent would be present in the bottom layer. D. The two solvents could be used together to separate a mixture of glycerol and desflurane. Is this statement True or False?Explanation / Answer
A. H2O is highly polar. CH2Cl2 is relatively less polar than water.
B.2 layers are formed.
C. CH2Cl2 will be the top layer and H2O is bottom layer. Because CH2Cl2 has higher density than H2O.
D. True. Water and CH2Cl2 could be used to separate glycerol and desflurane. Glycerol is more polar than Desflurane. Glycerol solublizes in water layer and desflurane in CH2Cl2. After separation of the solvent, evaporate to get the compounds.
