What causes errors in an organic chemistry extraction?

Cat H asked:


In our O-Chem lab, we performed an extraction to separate a mixture of benzoic acid and phenanthrene. Theoretically, everyone should have collected 0.25g of each, as the mixture was a 1:1 ratio and we began with about 0.5g of it. Everyone only got a 40-50% yield, however. Is this due to poor methods, or is there something inherently inaccurate in an extraction that causes this low yield?

(The experiment involved 2 small extractions rather than 1 large one, by the way.)

pedro asked:


I need to take one of these classes in order to graduate:

1) Principles of Physics part 2
2) Organic Chemistry part 2

which one is easier? why do you think so?
Please let me know. Thank you

Why do so many people find Organic Chemistry difficult?

Df S asked:


Or are they just overstating? For the most part, it seems pretty easy as it doesn’t have a big math component and most of it is conceptual.

lbfullmer asked:


I have two different graphs. One is of it’s NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), and the other is IR. I have the formula but i need to be able to draw the structure using the peaks.

Is there an Organic Chemistry software that solves reactions?

BT asked:


I am looking for an Organic Chemistry software doesn’t matter if it’s free or not, that solves alkene reactions,alkene halydes etc, and gives the products of the reaction. (if it’s a reduction reaction etc).
Like for example what would be the product obtained from the reaction of Br2 with 1-butene if the reaction would be carriout with ethyl alcohol. You write the formula for that in the software and you’ll get the product, etc.

I am not looking for 3d modeling atom software, I already have that. I know that this exist somewhere, but I don’t know the name of the software.

I’ll appreciate your help.
