In lab, you add 2.074 g salicylic acid to a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, as listed in the procedure. You carefully add 4.0 mL acetic anhydride and have your TA add 5 drops of sulfuric acid. After completing the synthesis and filtering, you place the crystals to dry on an evaporating dish that weights 21.682 g. After drying, the crystals and evaporating dish weigh 23.034. Calculate the percent yield of aspirin.

In lab, you add 1.985 g salicylic acid to a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, as listed in the procedure. You carefully add 4.0 mL acetic anhydride, swirl for a few minutes, then have your TA add 5 drops of sulfuric acid. After completing the synthesis and filtering, you place the crystals to dry on an evaporating dish that weights 21.173 g. After drying, the crystals and evaporating dish weigh 23.472. Calculate the percent yield of aspirin. Insert the value as a percentage, but without the percent sign.
A student determined fluoride in a toothpaste sample using ion chromatography. A toothpaste sample of mass 0.100 g was dissolved in type I water and then quantitatively filtered through a Whatman #1 filter paper into a clean 100 ml volumetric flask. The flask was then made up to volume with type I water and mixed thoroughly.A portion of the solution was filtered through a 0.45 um filter into a sample vial for analysis. Analysis of the sample gave a fluoride concentration of 1.60 mg/l Calculate the % w/w fluoride in the original toothpaste sample. (Give your answer to 3 decimal places please)
When purifying a sample of aspirin that was produced in the lab, the impure aspirin sample should be dissolved in a very cold solvent, so that solid impurities can be filtered and analyzed the next day or the next week. True or False?
A chemist needs to create a series of standard Cu2+(aq)Cu2+(aq) solutions for an absorbance experiment. For the first standard, he uses a pipet to transfer 5.005.00 mL of a 2.042.04 M Cu2+(aq)Cu2+(aq) stock solution to a 500.0500.0 mL volumetric flask, and he adds enough water to dilute to the mark. He then uses a second pipet to transfer 20.0020.00 mL of the second solution to a 100.0100.0 mL volumetric flask, and he adds enough water to dilute to the mark. Calculate the concentration of the Cu2+(aq)Cu2+(aq) solution in the 100.0100.0 mL volumetric flask.
Hexane (C6H14, density = 0.766 g/cm3), perfluoro-hexane (C6F14, density = 1.669 g/cm3), and water are immiscible liquids; that is, they do not dissolve in one another. You place 10 mL of each in a graduated cylinder, along with pieces of high-density polyethylene (HDPE, density = 0.97 g/cm3), polyvinyl chloride(PVC, density = 1.36 g/cm3), and Teflon (density = 2.3 g/cm3). None of these common plastics dissolves in these liquids. Describe what you expect to see.
Volume of acetic anhydride: 2.98 mL Mass of salicylic acid: 1.00 g Mass of aspirin recovered: 0.67 g Calculate the theoretical yield of aspirin to two decimal places (MUST SHOW ALL WORK). Calculate your % yield based on mass recovered of aspirin divided by throretical yield x 100% and report it to the nearest whole number (MUST SHOW ALL WORK). Thank you.
Which of the following statements is true? After drying a sample in the oven, you can place it immediately inside the analytical balance. In weighing hygroscopic substances, containers should always be kept close when not in use. Place solid reagents / precipitates directly on top of the balance pan. Liquids can be weighed using a weighing paper.
After performing precipitation gravimetry, Asta placed the weighing form inside the crucible, heated it, cooled it down, and weighed the crucible with the weighing form and obtained a mass of 23.4120 g. Repeating this cycle continuously gave a mass of 23.2125 g, then 23.1136 g, then 23.1139 g. Which among these masses should he use for his calculations? a. 23.1139 g b. 23.4120 g c. 23.1136 g d. 23.2125 g

rosity is a measure of the void or empty spaces in a material and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume. The density of the solid material used to create 7 pieces of 0.97 cm diameter and 1.14 cm height cylindrical beads is determined to be 1.63 g/mL. These beads were then placed in a flask and was filled to the 40 mL mark with a salt solution. The total weight measured of the beads and the salt solution was 46.86 g. Upon further inspection, it was found that manufacturing defects caused the measured porosity of the beads to be at 32%. Assuming that the solution was able to fully fill the empty spaces inside the beads, calculate the density of the salt solution. Show your solutions in the next item Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
