Extraction
• Transferring a solute from one
solvent into another is called
extraction, or, more precisely,
liquid–liquid extraction.
• The solute is extracted from one
solvent into the other because
the solute is more soluble in the
second solvent than in the first.
• The two solvents must not be
miscible (mix freely), and they
must form two separate phases,
or layers, in order for this
7
procedure to work.
• When the two phases have separated again into two distinct solvent layers,
an equilibrium will have been achieved such that the ratio of the
concentrations of the solute in each layer defines a constant. The constant,
called the distribution coefficient (or partition coefficient) K, is defined by
< 10.0 mL
< 4.0 mL

Drying procedure

How to break emulsion
An emulsion is a colloidal suspension of one liquid in another. Minute droplets of an organic
solvent are often held in suspension in an aqueous solution when the two are mixed or shaken
vigorously; these droplets form an emulsion. This is especially true if any gummy or viscous
material was present
in the solution.
Some techniques
may be used to
break a difficult
emulsion once
it has formed.

Purification and Separation Methods
The second category concerns extraction of an organic mixture with
a dilute acid, usually 1–2 M hydrochloric acid.
• Acid extractions are intended to remove basic impurities, especially such
basic impurities as organic amines.
• The bases are converted to their corresponding cationic salts by the acid
used in the extraction.
• Cationic salts are usually soluble in the aqueous solution, and they are
thus extracted from the organic material.
• A water extraction may be used imme- diately following the acid extraction
to ensure that all traces of the acid have been removed from the organic
material. 19
Purification and Separation Methods
The third category is extraction of an organic mixture with a dilute
base, usually 1 M sodium bicarbonate, although extractions with dilute
sodium hydroxide can also be used.
• The basic extractions are intended to convert acidic impurities, such as
organic acids, to their corresponding anionic salts.
• Anionic salts, being highly polar, are soluble in the aqueous phase.
• As a result, these acid impurities are extracted from the organic material
into the basic solution.
• A water extraction may be used after the basic extraction to ensure that all
the base has been removed from the organic material
