NCSU – Dept. of Chemistry – Lecture Demonstrations Organic Chemistry Salting Out Ethanol from Water Description: A mixture of ethanol and water is made immiscible by the addition of potassium carbonate. Materials: Deionized water Test tubes Ethanol Bromothymol blue K2CO 3 1 M HCl Procedure: 1. Prepare a large test tube with 10 mL ethanol, 10 mL water, a few drops of bromothymol blue indicator and one drop of 1 M HCl. The solution is homogeneous and yellow. 2. Add 3 g of K 2CO 3 to a second test tube and pour the solution from step 1 into this test tube. The test tube is sealed with a rubber stopper and mixed thoroughly with shaking. At this point the solution will become biphasic and the organic phase will be blue. Alternatively, this reaction can be scaled up in large graduated cylinders. NCSU – Dept. of Chemistry – Lecture Demonstrations Organic Chemistry Discussion: Water and ethanol are miscible due to their existing intermolecular forces, the strongest of those being hydrogen bonding. As an electrolyte (in this case K 2CO 3) is added to water, the solvation of the electrolyte makes water unavailable to hydrogen bond with ethanol. The solubility of ethanol decreases as a result of the lack of hydrogen bonding interactions with water. As a result, the organic dye which was initially yellow due to the acidic solution is absorbed into the organic phase with ethanol and becomes blue. Safety: Ethanol is flammable and should be kept away from any open flames. Disposal: The resulting mixture should be flushed down the drain with plenty of water. References: Shakhashiri, B. Z.

Turn hot plate to 5. 2. To the flask with your product 3 from Scheme 1, attach a condener with gentle water flow. 3. Add 15 mL of methanol. • For 4-methoxy compoud 3c, you may need to add 20 mL of methanol, since the 4-methoxy substrates is probably less soluble. 4. Heat the mixture on the hot plate with the stirrer at 6 until the material dissolves and becomes completely homogeneous. Once it’s dissolved, reduce the hot plate setting to 4. • If the stir bar isn’t coming free even after several minutes, you may wish to detach the condenser and poke the stir-bar free with a spatula • Make sure that there aren’t chunks or blobs of undissolved material on the outside. Everything needs to be dissolved. 5. Calculate 0.9 equivalents of benzyl bromide. Calculate how many mL of benzyl bromide (119 mL/mol) you need to add 0.90 mmol benzyl bromide per mmol of 3. In other words, if you have 20.0 mmol of 3c, how many mL of benzaldehyde will it take to provide 18.0 mmol? • You need to know how many mmol of reactant 3 you are working with.

Cotton Response to Foliar Application of Potassium Compounds at Different Ph Levels
Arkansas Cotton Response to Foliar Application of Potassium Compounds at Different pH Levels By M. A. Chang and D. M. Oosterhuis The pH of potassium (K) solutions used in foliar fertilization of cotton has a major effect on leaf burn, leaf expansion, K uptake by leaves, movement to the bolls, and lint yield.

CO2 Capture with Potassium Carbonate and Alcohol
CO2 Capture with Potassium Carbonate and Alcohol † † † Olajumobi Akeeb , Connor Junes , Zachary Luedtke † Swenson College of Science & Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Minnesota Duluth, 1303 Ordean Ct, Duluth, Minnesota 55812, United States. Abstract Traditional CO capture technologies using amine-based sorbents are very energy 2 intensive and result in secondary environmental pollution originating from amine degradation. In this work, a low temperature, energy saving and environmentally friendly CO capture method 2 has been investigated using potassium carbonate-alcohols-water mixtures as sorbents. The addition of certain amounts of alcohols, especially methanol to the potassium carbonate solution can significantly increase the CO absorption and desorption amounts, as well as the capture 2 capacity. The absorbent containing 50 wt% (~90 g) methanol, ~20 g potassium carbonate, and ~90 g water has proven to be the best mixture for CO2 capture using this inorganic capture method. This research demonstrates a catalytic CO capture route that is promising to be 2 economical as well as environmentally safe, and energy saving. 1. Introduction The emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) has seen a significant increase since the start of the industrial revolution. A significant amount of attention has been drawn to the rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, causing an increase in the global temperature and noticeable climate changes [1]. CO2 capture and storage or utilization is one of the methods that can be used to reduce the amount of GHG in the atmosphere, minimize their warming effects and fight climate change. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are used to reduce the emissions of GHG by capturing the CO2 gas.
