Organic Chemistry Lab Demo: Extractions (part 2)

[LeprKonPi]

Great videos! Wish I had watched them sooner... I made all the possible mistakes when I did this lab... didn't even know what an emulsion was until now. But what causes it? If the two layers are immiscible, what does the emulsion consist of?

What is the composition of the aqueous layer you used in this extraction?

[QwidgyboMan]

How do you get to college level chemistry and still make those mistakes?

[MsGrammarnazi]

YOU, my dear friend, are my ORGANIC LAB LIFEBOAT!

These videos help me tremendously.

I made three mistakes involving the separatory funnel.

1.) Not removing the stopper: This caused the air to bubble through the layers from the bottom stem.

2.) Shaking the Separatory Funnel: I was careless and broke the bottom stem.

3.) I pulled on the stopcock as I was turning it: This caused some of the solvent to leak out through the side of the funnel.

I have learned from my mistakes the hard way. I am sharing this so that you might not repeat my errors.

How does one separate a chemical from plant matter? for example, THC?

[Retard0800]

Use a solvent that thc will dissolve in, i.e butane.

@MrMagicMustache lrn2internets,

ever heard of google?

[homegrowntwinkie]

@MrMagicMustache if you wanna make hash, google BHO technique, or QWISO hash.
