Write a short note on differential extraction.

Answer»

When an organic compound is present in an aqueous medium it is separated by shaking it with organic solvent in which it is more soluble than in water. The aqueous solution is mixed with organic solvent in a separating funnel and shaken for sometimes and then allowed to stand for some time .When organic solvent and water form two separate layers the lower layer is run out by opening the tap of funnel and organic layer is separated. The process is repeated several times and pure organic compound is separated.

In sulphur estimation, 0.157 g of an organic compound gave 0.4813 g of barium sulphate. What is the percentage of sulphur in the compound?

Answer»

Here, mass of the substance taken= 0.157g

Mass of BaSO4 ppt. formed= 0.4813g

1 mole of BaSO4 is equivalent to 1 g atom of S

(137+32+64)= 233g of BaSO4=32g of S

0.4813g of BaSO4 will contain sulphur=32/233*0.4813

% of sulphur in the compound= 32/233*0.4813*100/0.157

= 42.10
