Assignment:
Initially have a sample of a water-insoluble, neutral organic compound dissolved in 50 mL methylene chloride that may be contaminated with:
-Organic carboxylic acid
and/or -Organic amine base
The organic neutral compound will be a solid while the acid/base impurities can either be solids or liquids.
Devise a laboratory procedure to separate the organic neutral compound from the potential acid/base impurities and obtain a maximum yield of purified material. The sample must be in crystalline form.
All of the organic compounds can be recrystallized from 95% ethanol.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
