5.2 A batch of poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT, is made by reacting butylene glycol (also known as 1,4-butane diol) with terephthalic acid, see example 2.4C. A total of 5 moles of polymer is made. The mixture contains 1.06 moles with a molecular weight of 207,900, 0.65 moles with a molecular weight of 210,100, 0.54 moles with a molecular weight of 211,420, 1.13 moles with a molecular weight of 212,080, 0.77 moles with a molecular weight of 215,160, and 0.85 moles with a molecular weight of 480,920. (Note: the above means that there are 1.06 moles of chains that have the same degree of polymerization to give the MW of 207,900, and similar for each of the other entries)

Hematite is an iron ore with the following composition: Fe2O3 [MW=159.70]. To make steel, carbon [At. Wt. = 12.01] in the form of coke is used to reduce Fe2O3 to iron metal [At. Wt. = 55.85] as shown below: 3 C + 2 Fe2O3 → 3 CO2 + 4 Fe How many grams of carbon are needed to produce 2,500 grams of iron? Relative to the problem the processing of 798.5 g of hematite ore produced 508.2 g of iron metal. Determine the percent yield of pure iron for this batch?
In the synthesis of benzoic acid, 3.5 mL of toluene were used and mixed with potassium permanganate solution. In making the potassium permanganate solution, 7 grams of the powder were dissolved in 150 mL of water. The resulting crystals were purified and the yield 1.53 grams. Identify the limiting reagent and compute for the number of moles that it consumed. What is the theoretical yield? What is the percentage yield? MW toluene = 94.14, density=0.87 g/mL , MW KMnO4 = 158, density = 2.7 g/mL , MW Benzoic acid = 122, density = 1.27 g/mL
A 25 mL liquid bleach sample is diluted with water to 1000 mL in a bubble gel. 25 mL of the diluted sample is transferred to the flask with a pipette, excess KI is added to it, and thus OCl- ion turns into Cl- ion and I2 is formed. The released iodine is titrated with 0.09892 Na2S2O3 using the starch reagent, and 8.96 mL is required for the endpoint. Find the % NaOCl (w/v; w/v) in the bleach sample. (Na=23 g/mol, O= 16 g/mol, Cl = 35.44 g/mol) (Warning: solving the necessary reaction equations by writing is necessary to see the stoichiometric relationship)

Eugenol, the main component of clove oil, can be prepared by heating 2-allyl guaiacol (in the absence of oxygen) to temperatures >205 °C. In practice, however, it is most cost-effective to extract eugenol from cloves, its natural source. Given a weight percentage of eugenol in cloves at 15.0%, calculate the minimum mass of cloves one needs to obtain 8.00 g of eugenol as a product. Report your answer (as a mass in grams, without units) with three significant digits.

An impure sample of Na3PO3 weighing 0.1392 g was dissolved in 25 mL of water. A solution containing 50 mL of 3% w/v mercury(II) chloride, 20 mL of 10% w/v sodium acetate, and 5 mL of glacial acetic acid was then prepared. The solution containing the phosphite was added dropwise to the second solution, oxidizing PO3^3– to PO4^3– and precipitating Hg2Cl2. After digesting, filtering, and rinsing, the precipitated Hg2Cl2 was found to weigh 0.4320 g. Report the purity of the original sample as %w/w Na3PO3. Moles Na3PO3 = moles Hg2Cl2

On the occasion of World Health Day, Dr. Satpal organized a ‘health camp’ for the poor farmers living in a nearby village. After check-up, he was shocked to see that most of the farmers suffered from cancer due to regular exposure to pesticides and many were diabetic. They distributed free medicines to them. Dr. Satpal immediately reported the matter to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). On the suggestions of NHRC, the government decided to provide medical care, financial assistance, setting up of superspeciality hospitals for treatment and prevention of the deadly disease in the affected villages all over India. (i) Write the values shown by (a) Dr. Satpal (b) NHRC. (ii) What type of analgesics are chiefly used for the relief of pain of terminal cancer? (iii) Give an example of artificial sweetener that could have been recommended to diabetic patients.
