    This experiment compares three purification methods - crystallization, extraction, and sublimation. Students purified benzoic acid using crystallization from a solution with NaCl and Congo red, and using extraction with chloroform to remove it from water. They observed the crystal sizes, yields, and shapes produced by each method to determine the most effective technique.

    Abstract

    Crystals come in all different shapes and sizes. However the purest and cleanest crystals

    are usually also the ones that grow to be the largest in size. In this experiment, the students

    compared the size, quantity, and shapes of crystals grown in three ways: a. Crystallization, b.

    Extraction, c. Sublimation.

    Introduction

    Scientifically, purification is the physical separation of a chemical substance from foreign

    or contaminating substances. Since the ancient times, people have used methods of separating

    and purifying chemical substances for improving the quality of life. Methods such as, extraction

    of metals from ores and of medicines from plants is older than recorded history. There are a

    variety of criteria by which separations can be classified. One is based on the quantity of material

    to be processed. Some methods of separation (e.g., chromatography) work best with a small

    amount of sample, while others (e.g., distillation) are more suited to large-scale operations. If we

    are to look around us today we can say that almost everything is impure or contaminated (toppr,

    n.d). The water we drink and the food we eat also need to go through levels of purification

    processes. Like in the case with how we separate organic compounds. There are several methods

    of purification of organic compounds. Another instance would be sublimation; it is the process of

    heating organic solids to change from solid to vapour state without passing through a liquid state.

    Moreover, there is a long list of methods of how we can effectively separate organic compounds.
    Objectives

    1. Though experiment, the students aimed to prove Purification Methods with the use of

    Crystallization, Extraction, and Sublimation.

    2. The students aimed to determine which method is more preferable based on the crystal’s

    sizes, yielded quantity, and form.

    Experimental Procedure

    A. Crystallization and Decoloration

    The students placed 50-mL of


    water in a 200-mL beaker

    +1g Benzoic acid


    +1g NaCl
    +1g Congo red
    Heat was added

    Stirred constantly until Benzoic


    acid dissolved
    +pinch Animal Charcoal
    Then filtered the
    solution

    Beaker A Beaker B

    The students The students rapidly


    covered the beaker stirred the solution
    with a watch glass while the beaker is
    and set aside to cool. placed in iced water.

    Result
    B. Extraction

    The students dissolved 1g of each


    Benzoic Acid and NaCl in 100-mL
    water

    Heat was applied

    Then let the solution


    cool down to room
    temperature

    The students then


    transferred the solution

    +5ml CHCl3 and


    shake the sol’n
    The students allowed the two
    liquids to separate using the
    separatory funnel.

    Once repeated the 4th


    step

    +5ml CHCl3 and


    shake the sol’n

    The students received


    the chloroform layer and
    placed it in an
    evaporating dish.
    The students placed the
    evaporating dish into a water bath
    and applied heat until all the
    CHCl3 has evaporated

    Identification of the Residue

    The students placed 5mL water


    into test tube labelled A,B, and C.

    +pinch of benzoic acid to A


    +pinch NaCl to B
    +pinch of residue to C

    The students the added 2mL of


    Pb(NO3)2 solution to each test
    tube.

    Observed
