To Determination the Partition Coefficient of Ethanoic Acid Between Water and Butan-2-Ol.
Experiment18

Aim

To determination the partition coefficient of ethanoic acid between water and butan-2-ol.

Procedure

1. The room temperature was recorded. 2. 15cm3 of the given aqueous ethanoic acid and 15cm3 of butan-2-ol were poured into a 100cm3 separating funnel, using suitable apparatus. The funnel was stoppered and was shook vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes. (The pressure in the funnel was released by occasionally opening the tap.) 3. 10cm3 of each layer was separated approximately. (The fraction near the junction of the two layers was discarded.) 4. 10.0cm3 of the aqueous layer was pipetted into a conical flask and was titrated with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution using phenolphthalein. 5. Using another pipette, 10.0 cm3 of the alcohol layer was delivered into a conical flask and was titrated with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution. 6. Steps (2) to (5) was repeated with another separating funnel using the following volume: 25cm3 of aqueous ethanoic acid and 15cm3 of butan-2-ol 7. For each experiment, the ratio of the concentration of ethanoic acid in the aqueous layer to that in the butan-2-ol layer was calculated.

Result

Room temperature: 29℃ Volume of butan-2-ol: 15 cm3

|Volume of 0.2M ethanoic acid / |Volume of 0.1M NaOH titre for |Volume of 0.1M NaOH titre for|Partition coefficient |
|cm3 |aqueous layer / cm3 |alcohol layer / cm3 |K= |
|15 |10.00 |12.55 |0.796 |
|25 |12.10 |15.60 |0.776 |

Conclusion

The partition coefficient of ethanoic acid between water and butan-2-ol is : = =0.786

    Assemble a reflux apparatus (Figure 4) with a 50 mL round bottom flask with a heating mantle. Add 5 mL of isopentyl alcohol and 7 mL of acetic acid to the round bottom flask. While stirring add 1 mL of acetic acid to the round bottom flask. The solution was gently heated until the solution was boiling and then refluxed for 60 minutes. The solution was then transferred to a separatory funnel. 10 mL of DI water was added to the funnel. Then the funnel was carefully shaken and vented to allow gasses to escape. The solution was then allowed to rest for two minutes. After resting the bottom aqueous layer was drained rom the funnel. The water wash process was repeated again. Then the organic layer was washed with 5 mL of 5% sodium…

    Assemble a reflux apparatus including the 25 mL round bottom flask and a heating mantle as a heat source. 5 mL of n-butyl alcohol is added to the flask by detaching the flask and adding the alcohol via a Pasteur pipet. Allow the mixture to boil at a temperature sustainable for a gentle boil for approximately 75 minutes. After this process has been completed, turn the heat off and allow the mixture to cool for approximately 10 minutes. Once ten minutes has elapsed, carefully place the flask into a cool water bath (without ice) until the mixture cools to room temperature. At this point, an organic layer should be visible. Transfer this solution into a separatory funnel. Drain most of the bottom aqueous layer into a beaker.…

    Limiting Reactant Lab

    A piece of filter paper was placed on the funnel and moistened with distilled water. With the aspirator on, the contents of flask 1 was poured into the funnel. The flask was rinsed out with distilled water and poured into the funnel in order to get most of the salts out of the funnel. The aspirator sucked the filtrate through the filter funnel. Once most of the liquid has been removed from the filter funnel, but the solid was still wet, 10 Ml of ethanol was added to the solid in the filter funnel. The ethanol was sucked through the filter funnel. The aspirator continuously ran in order to dry the solid on the filter funnel. Five vials were obtained and labeled with name, reaction number, and the flask number. The empty vials were weighed and their mass was recorded. When the solid was dry enough to remove from the filter funnel, the aspirator was turned off and the filter paper was removed from the suction flask. A spatula was used to gently remove the solid from the filter paper and placed into the corresponding vial. This process was repeated for all five Erlenmeyer flasks. Once completed, the vials with the solid contents were massed. After a week of drying, the vials were obtained and massed again. A graph using Excel was…

    We measured 2.5 mL if 2-methyl-2-butanol into the separatory funnel containing the other portion of solvent-nucleophile medium. To mix, we replaced the stopper and swirled, inverted, and released the pressure multiple times. The layers were allowed to separate and the lower layer was drained along with another small portion to eliminate any contamination. The remaining alkyl halide was drained into a beaker containing 0.5g of sodium bicarbonate and decanted into a ground glass stoppered flask. This sample was then…

    Intermolecular Forces

    Experiment 9 is conducted to identify the importance of intermolecular forces and how they affect molecules. Intermolecular forces are forces between molecules that determine whether the molecule is a solid, liquid, or gas under standard conditions. In our lab, we measured the maximum and minimum temperature reached and time it took to reach it of alcohols and alkanes. In addition, we measured the vapor pressure of the liquid at different temperatures. Through Experiment 9, we concluded that molecules with hydrogen bonds or long chains in the structural formula have stronger intermolecular forces, and that as temperature increases the vapor pressure of a substance increases exponentially.…
