A 532 mg of a mixture of fluorene and benzoic acid was weighed out and subjected to an extraction and recrystallization. After this purification was completed the product crystals were dried and analyzed. The purification procedure produced 174 mg of fluorene and 249 mg of benzoic acid. Calculate the percent composition of this mixture.

5.0 mL of 1-butanol was mixed with 10 mL of HCl. The reaction was put on an ice bath and 4 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added. This mixture was refluxed for 45 min and then the product was co-distilled with water using a simple distillation apparatus. Water and the product are immiscible. 1-butanol has a molar mass of 74.12 g/mol, a density of 0.810 g/mL, and a boiling point of 118 C. The product has a molar mass of 92.57 g/mol, a density of 0.880 g/mL, and a boiling point of 78 C. What is the nucleophile in this reaction? What is the role of H2SO4 in this reaction? Calculate the theoretical yield for this reaction. Give your answer in grams. Select the following statements that can be said about the reaction shown.

6.0 mL of cyclohexanol, 8 mL of 85% phosphoric acid, and 10 drops of sulfuric acid are added to a 50-mL round-bottom flask with boiling chips, and the mixture is distilled into an ice-cooled receiver. The distillate is in the form of a colorless bi-phasic mixture. The cyclohexene upper layer is removed from the water layer, and dried over anhydrous calcium chloride. Isolated is cyclohexene as a clear and colorless foul-smelling liquid. Weighing data is given below. Gross mass: 51.24 g Tare mass: 48.04 g Product mass: 3.2g Question: Calculate the theoretical mass of the cyclohexene product, bearing in mind that the cyclohexanol starting material was measured by volume, not by mass (so you must use the density of cyclohexanol to convert milliliters to grams, before calculating the number of moles). Calculate the percent yield of cyclohexene obtained.
Emmett, a sophomore chemistry major, was trying to separate an unknown mixture. His instructor told him that there was a carboxylic acid, phenol, and amine present in the mixture. He dissolved 3 g of the unknown in 10 ml of t-butyl methyl ether. He then added 10 ml of 3M sodium hydroxide to the mixture. He used a separatory funnel to separate the layers and collected the aqueous layer in an Erlenmeyer flask labeled fraction 1. Then he added 10 ml of 1.5M sodium bicarbonate to the remaining ether. He separated the layers, and collected the aqueous layer in an Erlenmeyer flask labeled fraction 2. Finally he added 10 ml of 1.5 M hydrochloric acid to the ether, and separated the aqueous later in an Erlenmeyer flask labeled fraction 3. Emmett neutralized the respective fractions. He obtained precipitate in fraction 1, and fraction 3. He ran an IR of the solid obtained in fraction 1 and saw a broad absorption at 3500-3300 cm-1 and a sharp absorption at 1710 cm-1. Fraction 3 showed…
