Separation by Chemical Extraction
Abstract
p-Bromoanaline was isolated via liquid-liquid extraction. Phenanthrene was separated and purified via recrystallization. The purity of the phenanthrene sample was determined using the thin layer chromatography method and via the comparison of melting ranges. The % recovery of the crystal phenanthrene was determined to be 110%, and p-bromoanaline was 28 %.

All Products; Crude and Recrystallized
Compound | MW (g/mol) | Isolated | moles | % recovery |
Crude phenanthrene | 178.20 | 1.059 g | 5.94 x 10-3 mols | 53% |
Recrystallized Phenanthrene | 178.23 | 1.101 g | 6.18 x 10-3 mols | 110% |

Physical Description
Crude phenanthrene- thick/dense consistency, off-white, powdered solid.
Aqueous precipitate (p-bromoanaline salt)- whitish colour. Crystalized once cooled. Sweetish odour.
Crystallized phenanthrene- original state was thick/dense off-white powdered solid, when hot water added became hard, shiny/sparkly crystals.
Yield Calculation for p-Bromoanaline
% yield = moles of product / moles of start material x 100%
= 0.001575306 mol / 0.0056 mol
= 28 % recovery
Yield Calculation for Recrystallization of Phenanthrene
% yield = 0.006178451 mol / 0.0056 mol x 100%
= 110 % recovery
