In fractional distillation, liquid can be seen running from the bottom of the distillation column back into the distilling flask. What effect does this returning condensate have on the fractional distillation?
A solution is made by dissolving 34.0 g of NaCl in 100 g of H2O at 0C. Based on the data in Table 8-1, should this solution be characterized as a. saturated or unsaturated b. dilute or concentrated
Briefly explain why crystals form as the solvent cools during recrystallization.
It is important to always minimize the amount of solvent used, allowing for evaporation. If we add a relatively large excess, we expect our recrystallization to produce lower percent recoveries. A common mistake is to misplace the decimal, resulting in addition of 11x the solvent instead of the recommended 1.1x. If a substance dissolves in a solvent at 1g/468 mL at room temperature and at 1g/13 mL at the solvent's boiling point, what would be the maximum expected amount recovered if using 11x the minimum amount of solvent in recrystallizing 10 g of the substance? Report your answer in grams to one decimal place.It is important to always minimize the amount of solvent used, allowing for evaporation.

50.0 mL of a 0.60 M solution of pyridine in ethanol is to be prepared by measuring out a known volume of pure liquid pyridine and diluting to 500 mL with ethanol. The molar mass of pyridine is 79.1 g/mol, and its density at room temperature is 0.982 g/mL. What volume of pyridine is required for this solution?
The question is: A student preforms a crystallization on an impure sample of biphenyl. The sample weighs 0.5g and contains about 5% impurity. Based on his knowledge of solubility, the student decides to use benzene as the solvent. After crystallization, the crystals are dried and the final weight is found to be 0.02g. Assume that all steps in the crystallization are performed correctly, there are no spills, and the student lost very little solid on any glassware or in any of the transfers. Why is the recovery so low? I know it’s becsuse the benzene wasn’t a good choice for the solvent but I can’t explain why. Thank you!
The solubility of benzoic acid in water is 0.21g per 100mL of water at 10 degrees celsius, 0.27g per 100mL at 18 degrees celsius, and 6.80g per 100mL at 95 degrees celsius. A. At least how much water would be needed to dissolve a 2.00g sample of benzoic acid at 95 degrees celsius? B. If you carried out a recrystallization by dissolving your 2.00g sample in water at 95 degrees celsius, then cooling it to 18 degrees celsius, what would be the maximum yield of benzoic acid? How would the yield be affected if the recrystallization mixture was cooled to 10 degrees celsius instead?
Question 1. a) You think that you have isolated a substance A in the lab. It melts at 75 – 77C. Since you don’t totally trust your own laboratory techniques, you wish to prove that you have substance A.
