Bottom line!
You will remove more solute (caffeine) from an aqueous solution by using two 1 mL portions of methylene chloride than by using one 2 mL portionof methylene chloride! See the textbook for an example.

Which layer on the top?Which layer is on the bottom?
You need to know the density of the methylene chloride and the density of the aqueous phase to answer this question!

Solid phase extraction (SPE)
• The C-18 column packing is NON-POLAR• Caffeine will move more slowly because
it is attracted to the column packing.• The more polar components such as
tannins, gallic acid and chlorophyll move more quickly down the column with the the polar water
• Once the aqueous materials have moved down the column, then you elute the caffeine with ethyl acetate.

Sublimation Behavior

Sublimation Apparatus

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry
Three examples:
1. A solid will melt if its vapor pressure is below the applied pressure when the solid is heated to its melting point.
2. A solid will sublime if its vapor pressure is higher than the applied pressure as it is heated. You will not observe melting behavior.
3. If you want to sublime a solid that has a vapor pressure of 50 mm Hg, you can do this if you reduce the pressure, under vacuum, to below this value.

Drying agents
• NaCl functions as a preliminary drying step. It also helps to break emulsions.
• Anhydrous sodium sulfate removes remaining water:
Na2SO4 + x H2O Na2SO4 x H2O.The dot indicatesthat the sodiumsulfate is complexedto the water molecules

Assume that all response factors = 1.000
In some cases, you may observe extra unknown peaks. Recalculatethe percentages of your data based on the alcohol and ester peaks. Round off the percentages:
4.3 % cyclopentanol95.7% cyclopentyl acetate
WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry
We will not be using response factors for the esters Lab (assuming that they are 1.0). However, you may need to recalculate the data to give new areas if you have “extra” peaks that don’t belong.
The example data in the previous slide can be used directly without doing calculations. The usual productsinclude alkene from dehydration, unreacted alcohol and ester. Esters have the longest retention times, alkenes are lowest and unreacted alcohol is in the middle someplace!
You will also be running the infrared spectrum of yourproduct.
