ORGANIC LAB REPORT

Document Content and Description Below

When performing acid-base liquid-liquid extractions, one's goal is to separate a mixture of organic compounds into individual compounds or smaller compounds. There are three concepts this procedure ... relies on to perform its targeted tasks: intermolecular forces of molecules, their polarity, and the idea of like dissolves like. Each concept relates to one another. When a compound is polar, it's more likely to dissolve in a polar solution. If it is non-polar, it is more likely to dissolve in a non-polar solution. It is also possible for a compound to be partially polar and non-polar, and this is where intermolecular forces come into place. Sometimes, a compound displaying both polar and non-polar qualities can lean more towards one or the other. This would still cause the compound to just be considered polar or non-polar, even when it is both. During acid-base liquid-liquid extraction, a definite aqueous layer and organic layer are formed from the two solvents being added into the separatory funnel [Show More]
