Separating Components of a Mixture by Extraction

When we perform a chemical reaction, we are usually trying to get a particular molecule. But when we are done with the reaction, there will probably be a bunch of different stuff in the reaction flask. How do we get just the thing we want and not the other stuff? It's actually pretty involved, with a couple different steps, but the first of these will always be extraction using a separatory funnel. Let's learn how to do this!

    In an OC lab course the lab assistant provided a good life hack: if you're unsure which layer is which, just draw a line with a marker where both layers meet. Add a little water: if the level of the seperating line remains in line with your marking, then water is the upper layer. If it is raised, water is at the bottom

    Hi Dave, thanks for a great video as always! I just have 2 quick questions. 1. What happens to the anion in the strong acid, chlorine in this case? 2. What is the gas that is produced by the reduction of the alanine? My guess is that both questions can be answered in the same way: the anion is ditched by the proton and forms a gas. Is this correct? If so, should there be a warning to not try this at home due to the dangers of chlorine gas?

    It’s a chloride ion and it goes nowhere. It is dissolved in the water along with aniline ion. There is no gas product in this reaction. The pressure build up comes from the volatility of the ether.
