3. At the end of an experiment, the product is a mixture of the starting material, which is
benzoic acid and the product, which is benzaldehyde, both of which are dissolved in diethyl
ether. The reaction mixture is best separated by a. extraction with a solution of hydrochloric
acid, separating the layers, followed by drying and evaporating the organic layer. b.
extraction with a solution of sodium bicarbonate, separating the layers, followed by
drying and evaporating the organic layer. c. Drying and evaporating the organic layer. d.
extraction with a solution of sodium bicarbonate, separating the layers, add diethyl ether to
the aqueous layer, extracting with a solution of hydrochloric acid, filtering and recrystallization
the solid product. 1 points

6. Which of the following statements is not one of the disadvantages of using sublimation as a
purification technique? a. Sublimation can not be used for solids that have extremely low
vapor pressures. b. The solid being sublimed usually needs to be heated under the presence
of a vacuum. c. Sublimation is faster and cleaner than recrystallization. d. Solid
impurities must have a lower vapor pressure than the solid being sublimed. 1 points
7. Fractional distillation gives a better separation than simple distillation because _________. a.
the fractionating column used in fractional distillation contains more theoretical
plates. b. the fractionating column used in fractional distillation contains less theoretical
plates. c. does not require as much heat as simple distillation. d. simple distillation is better
because it requires less glassware. 1 points
