RECRYSTALLISATION
Naphthalene is a colourless, crystalline solid used in the manufacture of firelighters and traditional mothballs. It isvery soluble in benzene at all temperatures, but can be successfully purified by recrystallisation from ethanol.A sample of impure naphthalene, contaminated with sand, water and an ethanol-soluble organic compound, wasput into a distillation flask and covered with ethanol. A reflux condenser was fitted, the mixture was boiled andmore ethanol was added cautiously until all the naphthalene had dissolved. The hot solution was then filteredthrough a preheated Büchner funnel, after which the filtrate was allowed to cool to room temperature andcrystallise. The resulting crystals were filtered off through a cold Büchner funnel, washed with a small amountof ethanol and finally dried in a desiccator.
a) Why is benzene unsuitable as a solvent for recrystallising naphthalene?

b) State the essential features of ethanol that make it a suitable solvent for recrystallising naphthalene.

Ethanal (b.p. 21 oC) can be prepared in the laboratory by the oxidation of ethanol (b.p. 78 oC) by oxidation witha solution of sodium dichromate(VI) in dilute sulfuric acid.

ORGANIC TEST QUESTION IIITHE PREPERATION OF ETHYL ETHANOATE
TOPIC 16 Questionsheet 10
Ethyl ethanoate can be prepared from ethanol and ethanoic acid by the following method.
Mix 20 cm3 of ethanol and 50 cm3 of pure ethanoic acid in a 250 cm3 round bottomed flask.Carefully add 2 cm3 of concentrated sulfuric acid, then a small quantity of anti-bumpingmaterial. Fit a water cooled condenser and gently heat under reflux for about three to sixhours.
When cool pour the product into a beaker containing an equal volume of saturated aqueoussodium chloride and stir. The sodium chloride reduces the solubility of the ethyl ethanoate inthe water. Using a separating funnel separate the ester layer and wash with sodium carbonatesolution in the separating funnel (CARE!). Separate the ester layer and run it into a dryconical flask containing 2 spatula measures of anhydrous sodium sulfate. Stopper, shakegently and leave for at least 30 minutes.
Filter or decant the ester into a distilling flask and distil slowly. Collect the fraction, whichboils between 70 - 79°C, in a dry, pre-weighed container. Do not boil to dryness.Weigh the product and calculate the % yield.
