before the filtration process Is because the sucrose would not be pure enough and would have a very low percentage composition due to the fact that it would have many impurities from other components. The impurities will be in the Sucrose because it is insoluble and does not dissolve in DCM. Thoroughly stirring the mixture is required before filtration to make sure all the other components are dissolved in DCM excluding the Sucrose. So initially, the Solid here which is Sucrose will remain undissolved and will be collected through Vacuum Filtration.
b. DCM is used to remove the impurities from the sucrose, because DCM is denser than water and that’s why when DCM is mixed in water, the DCM remains at the bottom of the beaker.
Before the Aspirin is soluble in the DCM, the aqueous layer should be mixed thoroughly in order for the …show more content…
Likewise, if the DCM was to be extracted with HCl, the sodium acetylsalicylate will not form and therefore the DCM layer will have contents of sodium acetylsalicylate which means that the inclusive percentage of Aspirin and the overall percentage of the unknown substance would be moderately superior.
Sodium bicarbonate will remain in an alkaline state which means the acidic properties will be also be removed and therefore the extraction of sodium bicarbonate will be fairly weak during the extraction phase.
Carboxylic acid has a –COOH functional group whereas Paracetamol has a –OH functional which makes both of the functioning groups to react with Na only when NaCHO^3 is added to paracetamol and Aspirin. After this reaction, there will appear the production of sodium salts which will shift from the insoluble layer of DCM to the Aqueous layer which is more soluble which results in a harder attempt to separate the Aspirin and
