Week4 Draft5

An acid base extraction involves looking at a mixture and separating the two solvents within to extract pure compounds.The compounds, when mixed with two different solvents of different densities will separate into two layers. After the compounds are mixed and layers are formed in test tubes, the two phases are separated via pipet. Once the solvents are evvaporated, the separated, we get a yield of the solid compounds. Once the solids are aquired, purification may be done by recrystalization to remove any impurities.
