Formic acid (BP = 101 °C) and water (BP = 100 °C) form a negative azeotrope boiling at 107 °C at 78% formic acid. If a student attempts a fractional distillation of a mixture of 50% formic acid and 50% water, what liquid will they collect as the first drop into the recieving flask? nitric acid 78% formic acid and 22% water water formic acid

Which of the following statements is false in a simple and steam distillation? Simple distillation can help in separating homogenous mixtures of 1-propanol (BP of 97 °C) and propanone (BP of 56 °C) A liquid with high boiling point that decomposes on simple distillation may not be steam distilled for its purification. Steam distillation can help in separating immiscible mixtures with wide difference in boiling point. Simple distillation uses a homogeneous mixture while steam distillation separates heterogeneous mixture.
You were given a mixture of two miscible solvent A and B that you are tasked to separate. You know that solvent A has a boiling point of 49 oC while solvent B has a boiling point of 174 oC. Which of the listed method would overall be the most efficient? Fractional distillation Recrystallization Solid-liquid extraction Liquid-liquid extraction Simple distillation Acid-Base extraction
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…
State whether you would want to use a fractional or simple distillation for each of the cases below. Assume the mixture contains a 1:3 mixture of two components A and B, where component A is the lower boiling point component. Briefly explain each of your answers. 1. You need a really pure sample of component A. 2. You just need each component to be at least 85% pure and want the MAXIMUM amount of distillate out.

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.
