THE SEPARATION OF ACIDS, BASES AND NEUTRAL COMPOUNDS

 

liquid-liquid extraction Get a basic idea here!

Separatory funnel, ideal extraction solvents...

200mLX1 vs 100mLX2: Many extractions with a small amount of solvent are more efficient than one extraction with a large amount of solvent. Use the "distribution coefficient" to prove it!

(acid-base) Can you change the solubility of a compound?

After chemically active separation, how would you recover the original compounds from the chemically altered form?
