Organic Chemistry Pre-lab Report: THE EXTRACTION OF BENZOIC ACID AND NAPHTHALENEC

Overview

NSTRUCTIONS: PLEASE READ LAB MANUAL AND GUIDELINES CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING: Using the two provided video links, and the pdf of the lab manual, please create a pre-lab report. You can use online scholarly sources as well, but a big majority of your work should come from the videos and the lab manual, especially in the background and procedure procedures (refer to guidelines provided below). Please source your work as well. FYI, the pre-lab questions are at the bottom of the lab manual PDF. Once you have accepted the assignment, I'll provide samples of how the pre-lab should look. PLEASE DO NOT USE AI TO COMPLETE ASSIGNMENT. SOURCE ALL YOUR WORK FOR PLAGIARISM SAFETY.

LINKS TO VIDEOS: 1st link is video to the lesson lecture for the lab: https://wetransfer.com/downloads/6fa200856b1a5b5a45ef3a5856e16a3720240910052429/8b417f5f679a34deaf1a7a8ad7982e8b20240910052450/770d46

2nd link holds 2 videos thats a demo on how the lab should be done: https://wetransfer.com/downloads/9eb522c39f149823b565efbed17aa48120240910052808/cfa4cdad14a3802c52d58abba67be72220240910052831/4c6b74

GUIDELINES:
