Experiment 6: EXTRACTION of ANALGESICS
Objectives • To learn the technique of acid-base extraction. • To separate aspirin from acetaminophen using the extraction technique. • To learn the techniques of drying organic solvents and vacuum filtration. • To analyze the purity of the aspirin and acetaminophen samples using HPLC analysis.
Before coming to lab… • Watch the following videos to help you understand the techniques that will be used. • Extraction http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-do-a-liquid-liquid-extraction-in-the-chemistry-lab-259811/view/ • Vacuum Filtration http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4541453194468704643#docid=1104445520143750871 • Drying Organic Solvents http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-dry-an-organic-solution-in-the-chemistry-lab-259802/view/
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS— GOODY’S POWDERS 500 mg/powder 325 mg/powder
SEPARATORY FUNNEL TECHNIQUE • Be sure the stopper is tightly sealed before inverting! • Always keep one finger on the stopper! • Be sure the stopcock is in the horizontal position (closed) before adding any liquid!
SUCTION FILTRATION TECHNIQUE • Always clamp the suction flask to a ring stand! • Run the red vacuum hose to the yellow vacuum line to pull suction! To vacuum line…
DRYING ORGANIC SOLVENTS • Add a small amount of MgSO4 to the organic solution and swirl. • If the MgSO4 continues to clump and sink to the bottom, continue to add. • If the MgSO4 settles out of solution slowly (like a snow globe), the solution is dry.
OVERVIEW • Perform acid/base extraction using separatory funnel. • Isolate ASPIRIN and ACETAMINOPHEN in separate flasks. ACETAMINOPHEN (O) ASPIRIN SALT (A) A O
OVERVIEW ACETAMINOPHEN… • Dry organic layer with MgSO4. • Suction filter to remove MgSO4 from liquid. • Evaporate liquid on hotplate. • Reweigh to obtain final weight & calculate % recovery. • Dissolve solid in REAGENT acetone. • Submit HPLC sample. • Transfer to large sample vial and submit to instructor until next lab period.
OVERVIEW • ASPIRIN… • Add acid to recover solid aspirin. • Suction filter to recover solid aspirin. • Submit HPLC sample. • Secure aspirin in large filter paper and submit to instructor until next lab period. • NEXT LAB PERIOD… • Obtain final weight of aspirin. • Calculate % recovery. • Prepare sample for melting point analysis.
THEORETICAL RECOVERY • For this experiment, we dissolved 2 Goody’s powders in 25 mL of ethyl acetate. • In each Goody’s powder, there is 0.500 g of aspirin and 0.325 g of acetaminophen. • Theoretical Recovery: • 0.500 g per powder X 2 powders = ? g of Aspirin • 0.325 g per powder X 2 powders = ? g of Acetaminophen
PERCENT RECOVERY • After the product has been dried sufficiently, the ACTUAL YIELD can be determined. • In theory, you should be able to recover 100% of each compound, however this is not always the case. • In order to determine the success of your recovery, the percent yield is calculated as follows: • Percent recovery : actual recovery (g)X 100 theoretical recovery (g)
Table 6.2 • Samples containing a single compound are considered PURE samples, while those containing both compounds are considered MIXED (IMPURE) samples. • Be sure to attach both sample chromatograms to final lab report!
SAFETY CONCERNS • Acetone and ethyl acetate are extremely flammable! Wear safety goggles at all times and use extreme caution when heating! • Hydrochloric acid is corrosive!
WASTE MANAGEMENT • The drying agent (MgSO4) and filter paper should be placed in the container labeled “MgSO4 Waste” provided in the hood. • Place all liquid waste in the container labeled “ACIDIC AQUEOUS WASTE”.
LABORATORY NOTEBOOK(Pre-lab) • OBJECTIVE (Must clearly state…) • What is the goal of the experiment? • How will you accomplish this goal? • How will you determine if it worked? • TABLE OF PHYSICAL DATA (Complete the following table using MSDS sheets from a site on WWW Links ONLY. Wikipedia is unacceptable) • REFERENCE TO PROCEDURE (Must include…) • full title • Edition • authors • page numbers where actual procedure can be found
LABORATORY NOTEBOOK(In-lab) • DATA/CALCULATIONS • EXTRACTION: • Theoretical recovery CALCULATION for aspirin (not just the value!) • Theoretical recovery CALCULATIONfor acetaminophen (not just the value!) • DRYING AND ACETAMINOPHEN RECOVERY: • initial weight of 150 mL beaker • weight of 150 mL beaker+ acetaminophen • ASPIRIN RECOVERY: • Weight of small filter paper • Weight of large filter paper • HPLC ANALYIS: • HPLC vial slot # for aspirin sample • HPLC vial slot # for acetaminophen sample • EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE • In paragraph form, briefly describe the procedure that you actually followed during the lab. • Paragraph must be written in PAST TENSE, PASSIVE VOICE. • Include any volumes or weights of chemicals used during the experiment. • Include any mistakes, accidents, or observations if necessary.
