A student misreads the lab manual and accidently adds 13.1 mL of isopentyl alcohol and 7.5 mL of acetic acid to their round-bottom flask. 1. Calculate the equivalency of both isopentyl alcohol and acetic acid. Be sure to show your work. а. After performing the experiment, this student obtains isopentyl acetate in a 57% yield. Using what you know about Fischer Esterification, explain why they obtained a lower percent yield. (Hint: Think conceptually; do not cite lab performance errors. b.

4. Imagine you performed the following extraction steps on a solution of salicylic acid and (R)-carvone in ethyl acetate. Draw the structure of salicylic acid and (R)-carvone after each step and predict the layer (organic or aqueous) it will be found in. OH OH salicylic acid (R)-carvone a. The solution of salicylic acid and (R)-carvone in ethyl acetate is washed with water. b. The organic layer from part a is washed with aqueous sodium hydroxide. c. The aqueous layer from part b is neutralized by adding sulfuric acid. Then it is extracted with ethyl acetate.

5. Salicylic acid and aspirin are BOTH white crystalline solids. a) Briefly explain (in terms of functional groups) how the iron (III) chloride test will help you confirm that you successfully converted salicylic acid to acetylsalicylic acid. b) What is the other method you'll use to confirm the identity (and purity) of your acetylsalicylic acid product?
2. Calculate the percent yield step if you start with 2.687 g of salicylic acidwith excess of acetic anhydride and the amount of aspirin obtained was 2.301 g. 3. Explain why acetic acid is unlikely to be a contaminant in your solid aspirin. 4. If you measured the melting point of the solid product from this experiment andobtained a melting range of 122-128 °C, what does this tell you? 5.

A mixture is made up of low molecular weight carboxylic acid, alcohol and ester. What one step procedure can you use to extract the ester component from the mixture? Describe the process briefly
You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7. Include all formal charges, intermediates (if applicable) and products.

Draw the structure of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and give two reasons why it is a good solvent choice for liquid-liquid extraction.

The question is: Consider a mixture containing 0.5 benzil and 0.05 biphenyl. Your task is to isolate the benzil in pure form. Would this be best accomplished by recrystallization or extraction? I don’t really know which one would be better cause both can isolate a substance in its pure form. Thanks!
Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. 1-butanol, 2-butanol, and diisopropyl ether all tested negatve (immiscible) in the solubility test with concentrated H2SO4.
