Chloroform and cyclohexane are organic liquids that are insoluble in water and this causes distinct liquid phases, an organic phase and a water phase, to form when these organic liquids are mixed with water. However, in a chloroform/water mixture, the water phase is on the top and the organic chloroform phase is on the top, whereas in a cyclohexane/water mixture, the water phase is on the bottom and the organic cyclohexane phase is on the top. Provide an explanation for the different position of the water phase in mixtures with these organic solvents. (hint: the density of water is 1.0 g/mL.)

20 ml of a 100 mg/l phenol solution in water is placed in a vial with 20 ml of a fluorocarbon solvent. The organic phase (fluorocarbon solvent) is immiscible with water. The vial is completely filled with the two phases, thus there is no air or contaminant volatilization. After an hour of agitation, the two phase system reaches equilibrium. The two phases are separated and the fluorocarbon is analyzed for total phenol. The resulting phenol concentration in the organic phase is 16.0 mg/l. Compute the unitless partition coefficient (KF-W) for phenol. Compare your calculation with KF-W obtained from an empirical relationship: log10KF-W 0.71 - 0.862log10 CWsat. KF-W means the partition between the fluorocarbon solvent, F, and water, W. Only typed solution.

In this problem you will model the mixing energy of a mixture in a relatively simple way, in order to relate the existence of a solubility gap to molecular behavior. Consider a mixture of A and B molecules that is ideal in every way but one: The potential energy due to the interaction of neighboring molecules depends upon whether the molecules are like or unlike. Let n be the average number of nearest neighbors of any given molecule (perhaps 6 or 8 or 10). Let Uo be the average potential energy associated with the interaction between neighboring molecules that are the same (A-A or B-B), and let UAB be the potential energy associated with the interaction of a neighboring unlike pair (A-B). There are no interactions beyond the range of the nearest neighbors; the values of Uo and UAB are independent of the amounts of A and B; and the entropy of mixing is the same as for an ideal solution. Find an expression for the maximum temperature at which this system has a solubility gap.
An excess amount of Ba(NO3)2 was added to 2 liters of water at 25 oC until the solution is saturated. Because Ba(NO3)2 is only slightly soluble in water, the excess Ba(NO3)2 was filtered out to get a solid-free mixture. The proponents of the experiment thought about using the concept of colligative properties, specifically boiling point elevation, to determine Ksp. It was observed in their experiments that the solution boils at 100.15 deg C. Kb of water = 0.51 K-kg/mol. Barium nitrate dissociates using: Solve the ff: a) Amount of Ba(NO3)2 dissolved in grams. MW of Ba(NO3)2 = 261.3 g/molb) Solubility product, Kspc) Vapor pressure of the solution in kPa
Rubbing alcohol is often used as a disinfectant and sometimes as a component of handsanitizers. If you were to purchase a bottle of rubbing alcohol at a store, it would most likely sayisopropyl alcohol or isopropyl rubbing alcohol, although it is also called isopropanol. Ethylalcohol is also used in hand sanitizers, and is actually more commonly used. Why would a handsanitizer whose major component is ethyl alcohol evaporate more quickly than one whose majorcomponent is rubbing alcohol?
Water and 1-butanol are only partially miscible, so that when the two liquids are mixed, separate phases are formed. A mixture is prepared, in which the volumes of the aqueous and organic phases are equal. Ethanoic acid is then added to the mixture. The concentration in the aqueous phase is 0.094 mol dm-3 and in the organic phase 0.014 mol dm-3 . Additional solvent is then added such that the volume of the aqueous phase becomes double that of the organic phase. What are the new concentrations?
Caffeine can be extracted from tea bags using liquid-liquid extraction. After extracting the tea in hot water, sodium carbonate can be added to form the starting aqueous solution. In a separatory funnel containing 20 mL of diethyl ether, the same volume of aqueous solution will be added. The same procedure will be done in another separatory funnel but this time the organic solvent is hexane. Both separatory funnels will be shaken to release the pressure, and let stand to promote layer separation. The organic layers now containing caffeine will be separated into separate beakers. The beakers were then dried using calcium chloride (CaCl2). The beakers containing both solvents will be dried to obtain the isolated caffeine. Why is it important to release the pressure by venting out the separatory funnel? How will this affect the extraction when bypassed?

according to wikipedia what is the solubility of benzoic acid in water at 25 degrees and 100 degrees? if you were given 1.55 grams of benzoic acid how much boiling water would you need to dissolve it all (show all work)? If you were to cool the solution to 25 degrees afterwards, would the solution be saturated? justify
True or false reflux is the process of heating a reaction mixture and condensing the solvent vaports back into the reaction vessel, whereas boiling is the process of heating a reaction mixture and allowing tye vapor to eacape
In biological systems, an ACTIVE transport process is one in which an important chemical component is moved from where it is __________ in concentration, to where it is ___________ in concentration. Meanwhile, a PASSIVE transport (or diffusion) process is one in which an important chemical component moves from where it is ____________ in concentration to where it is __________ in concentration. Of the two above processes, transport does not require energy to occur. A FACILITATED transport process is a form of ______________ transport, where an important chemical component moves with the aid of a channel or similar structure. According to the course lectures, Zoom sessions, course lecture notes, and/or assigned course readings, one specific example of a facilitated transport structure in the cell membrane is _____________ , which aids in the movement of a particular chemical component called __________ .
