A chemistry student wishes to extract 2.34 g of compound X from 15 mL of an aqueous mixture. She has two solvents available with the following characteristics: Solvent Solubility of X in 100 mL of solvent Hexane 36.92 Chloroform 28.33 Water 16.52 However, the student only has enough hexane (exactly 10 mL) for one extraction. On the other hand, she has enough chloroform (exactly 20 mL) to perform either 1 extraction with 20 mL or 2 sequential extractions with 10 mL each.

In an experimental study of membrane-like assemblies of synthetic materials, a phase diagram like that shown was obtained. The two components are dielaidoylphosphatidylcholine (DEL) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholineIDPU. Explain what happens as a liquid mixture of composition xDel = 0.5 is cooled from 45 °C.
(1a) Pure benzophenane freezes at 66.6 °C. A solution of 7.75 g of biphenyl (C12H10; molar mass = 154.2g/mol) plus 200.08 g of benzophenane froze at 59.9 °C. Calculate the Kf of benzophenane in °C*kg/mol. (b) An unknown solution with possible cations (Ag+, Hg22+, Pb2+) is treated with 6M HCl and a white precipitate forms. Hot water is added to the precipitate, and a white solid remains after filtration. The white solid is treated with aqueous NH3, and the precipitate turns grey or black. The resulting solution is treated with HNO3 and no precipitate forms. What cations can you determine to be present, absent or maybe present? Explain your reason
1. Why should the stopper always be removed from a separatory funnel whenever a liquid is being drained through the stopcock?2. The distribution coefficient, KD (ether/water), between ether and water for aspirin at room temperature is 3.5. What weight of aspirin would be extracted by a single extraction with 60 ml of water from a solution of 10 grams of aspirin in 100 ml of ether? Calculate the weight of aspirin which would be removed by three extractions with 20 ml portions of water.
I’ve done this question but I think I’ve done it wrong. Calculate how much 95% Ethel alcohol will be prepared to dissolve 0.3g of sulfanilamide at 78 degrees using the table (pictured below from my textbook) and, based on that volume, calculate how much sulfanilamide will remain dissolved in the mother liquor after the mixture is cooled to 0 degrees. For the volume at 78 I got 1.47mL and for the difference once it cooled to 0 degrees I got 19.96 mL. If I got these wrong could you point me in the right direction as how to solve this? Thank you!

10g coffee 4g sodium carbonate 40m dichloromethane 160ml distilled water coffee filter What are the principles behind caffeine being extracted from coffee using the above items? 1st sodium carbonate mixed with coffee then brought to a boil for 20min then solution/grinds are filtered. Then solution is added to a separatory funnel with 15ml of dichloromethane and two layers are observed so the bottom layer with DCM contains the caffeine, then this layer is collected in a beaker and dried out using molecular seeds. Then the solvent is brought to a boil with crude caffeine remaining and recystallized using 95% ethanol and brought to a boil again. Then the contents are vaccum filtered and allowed to dry resulting in 30mg caffeine.
