For my lab experiment it was a reaction between p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride to make acetaminophen through crystallization. The question asks why should you use a minimum amount of water to rinse the conical vial whole transferring the purified acetaminophen to the Hirsch funnel? I honestly have no idea I thought if the crystals formed it didn’t matter how much water you rinsed the vial with. If you could do xplain why the amount of water matters I’d greatly appreciate it!

Please answer this question as fast as you can please and tahnk you. I will afterwards write an wonderful review on solving the question. Thank you. Why is it important for us to leave the water for 5 minutes and determine the water's temperature? The density of water will vary with temperature. You want the water to equilibrate to room temperature in order to maintain consistent results. You want to wait so that the dissolved solids in the water settle to the bottom of the flask. It is impossible to determine the density of water below 20 °C with plastic beakers and cylinders so you need to wait for the water to warm up. It's not that important, we just want to stretch out the time of the experiment.
So my question involves the production of acetaminophen through crystallization and I’m not quite sure what role water plays in this. Please help! Question: In the reaction between p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride to form acetaminophen, 0.450mL of water was added. List two purposes of the water in this synthesis. Thank you!
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!
Consider a crystallization of sulfanilamide in which 10mL of hot 95% ethyl alcohol is added to 0.10 g of impure sulfanilamide. After the solid has dissolved, the solution is cooled to room temperature and then placed in an ice-water bath. No crystals form, even after scratching with a glass rod. Explain why this crystallization failed. What would you have to do at this point to make the crystallization work? Assume that starting over again with a new sample is not an option.
Suppose you have a mixture of copper sulfate (CuSO4) and azulene (C10H8, you may wish to know the structure of azulene). Both copper sulfate and azulene are beautiful deep blue cystalline solids. If you transferred the mixture to a separatory funnel containing both an aqueous and and organic solvents (1M HCl and dichloromethane), into which layer would the copper sulfate partition, aqueous or organic? Aqueous layer (1M HCl) Organic layer (dichloromethane) Copper sulfate would partition nearly equally into both the aqueous and organic layers
1. Explain the importance of using a thermometer in the simple distillation setup? 2. Enumerate the characteristics of a substance for it to be separated from the heterogeneous mixture by steam distillation? Please explain well and don't copy from google
The phensuprin solid is first dissolved in ethyl acetate. One solid will be left over – what is it? That solid is collected by gravity filtration. Do we still need the liquid we collect in the flask? What is in it? Next, the ethyl acetate is extracted with 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate. What will be in each layer? After the extractions, the organic solvent is removed by rotary evaporation. What is the solid that will be collected at this step? What solvent is being removed? We will acidify the bicarb. layer using HCl. How do we know when the aqueous layer has been acidified? A solid forms when the aqueous layer is acidified to pH 2. That solid is collected using vacuum filtration. What is this solid? Create a flow chart depicting the separation of each component of phensuprin as the procedure progresses.
Explain why any or all of the following solvent pairs cannot be used for mixed-solvent recrystallization? Please explain each. benzene and carbon tetrachloride water and hexane chloroform and methanol all of the above
Based on the melting point of your impure solid, you look at the given samples and believe you havecompound A. Compound A is recrystallized using a mixed solvent system of ethanol and water. You add1 ml of hot ethanol to your sample and it doesn’t completely dissolve. You continue to add hot ethanolbut there isn’t any change. Some solid remains. What should you do next?
A student obtained a solid product in a laboratory synthesis. To verify the identity of the solid, she measured its melting point and found that the material melted over a 12°C range. After it had cooled, she measured the melting point of the same sample again and found that this time the solid had a sharp melting point at the temperature that is characteristic of the desired product. Why were the two melting points different? What was responsible for the change in the melting point?
A student determines the molar mass of a liquid unknown by the method used in this experiment. She found that the equilibrum temperature of a mixture of ice and water was 1.0 degrees C on her thermometer. When she added 11.1 g of her unknown sample to the mixture, the temperature, after thorough stirring, fell to -3.0 degrees C. She then poured off the solution through a screen into a beaker. The mass of the solution was 90.4 g. Kf=1.86 degrees C/m How much water was in the decanted solution? What did she find to be the molar mass of the unknown liquid, assuming she made the calculation properly?
