 The purpose of washing is to disperse impurities off of the product or out of a solution containing the product and into an intermediate solvent.
-===== Alkaline Solution Washing of Inactive Impurities =====
+===== Alkaline Solution Washing of Impurities =====
 Most of the impurities that plague yields tend to be quite soluble in both alkaline aqueous solutions and non-polar solvents.  To remove these impurities, an imbalance in equilibrium must be created between these two types of solutions, causing the impurities to disperse into a disposable solution from the solution containing the product.  This procedure is commonly used for purifying product from extractions that utilize naphtha or heptane to obtain a whiter product.
