Suppose your colleague was relying on receiving your purified product in order to prepare a dilute aqueous standard solution of benzoic acid e.g. for a titration. She takes 160 mg of your benzoic acid and dissolves it in just enough water so the solution exactly fills a 250 mL volumetric flask. Given that the acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid Ka = 6.3 x 10-5, calculate the pH of her resulting solution.

Standard solution : 0.201 grams of acetylsalicylic acid was combined with 10 mL of 0.5 M NaOH, then transfered to a 100 mL flask and filled the rest of the way with water Then 0.500 mLs of the standard solution was transfered to a 10.00 mL flask and diluted to the 10 mL mark with 0.02 M of buffered iron chloride. This step was repeated using 0.400, 0.300, 0.200, 0.100 mLs of the standard solution Questions: A.) determine the concentration of the acetylsalicylic acid in the 100.00 mL volumetric flask containing the solution from which the standards were made.

I only need the work for 0.400 mLs C.)Make a scatter plot (on the computer again) of absorbance versus concentration for the calibration samples. On the plot, add a linear trendline, and display the equation and the R2 value on the chart. Take your time to label the axes
Explain the meaning of the advantages of coulometry * No need to prepare, standardize, or store standard solutions. * Can prepare unstable reagents in situ (original place) since they react almost as soon as they are generated - e.g., C12, Br2 * Straightforward to generate tiny quantities of reagent with good accuracy since it is easy to control current and time electronically. * A single coulometric titration apparatus can be used for redox, acid/base, precipitation, complexometric, etc., titrations.
The standardization of same titrant during the determination of BOD5 of water sample was done separately for Day 1 and Day 5. Upon standardization, it turned out that the concentration of the titrant in Day 1 is higher than the concentration of the same batch of titrant in Day 5. How would you explain this discrepancy? The water used to prepare the Na2S2O3 solution was not boiled resulting to proliferation of bacteria. Too much starch indicator was added in the conical flask. Sulfuric acid was added first before potassium iodide. There were bubbles at the tip of the burette during titration.
The purpose of this experiment is to use both extraction and crystallization techniques to separate a solid mixture of organic compounds. You will receive a packet with 1 g of a unknown (pH is basic) amide solid sample which will contain three components, one from each group: Group 1 (~50% wt): ethyl 4-aminobenzoate, ortho-toluic acid, or benzoic acid Group 2 (~40% wt): fluorene, 1,4-dibromobenzene, benzil, benzoin Group 3 (~10% wt): fluorene, 1,4-dibromobenzene, benzil, benzoin (but not the same as Group 2 compound) Create a lab procedure that will allow you to successfully isolate, purify, and identify the two major (Group 1 and Group 2) components of the unknown amide sample. reagents that can be used are 1M HCl, 6M HCl, 1M NaOH, 6M NaOH, diethyl ether, and methylene chloride
