Surfactants X (HLB = 10.0) and Y (HLB = 5.5) are %3D mixed together to emulsify a mixture of 30 % paraffin wax (HLB = 10.2) and 70 % of an organic oil. Although the HLB value (on max. 20 scale) of the organic oil is not known, the formula weight of the hydrophobic portion of its molecule is equal to three times the formula weight of the hydrophilic portion. Find the composition (in %) of the surfactants that would most likely emulsify the organic matters.

Hexanoic acid was added to an immiscible biphasic solvent system, water and CCl4 at 20.0OC and the equilibrium concentrations of hexanoic acid were determined to be 3.66 g/L in H2O and 67.0 g/L in CCl4. Caluclate the distrubution coeffiecent (D2) of hexanoic acid in water with respect to CCl4.
A 100-liter empty jar was spiked with 20 mg of TCE (C2HCl3) under room temperature condition. The jar was then closed tightly. What is the concentration (in atm.) of TCE in the air at 25 C? (TCE: MW: 131.4 g/mol; TCE solubility in water (Cs) = 1100 mg/L; Pv (pure liquid at 25oC) = 10^-1.01 atm. KH = 10^1.03 L atm mol-1; KOW = 102.42). if the jar was half filled with water and half filled with air, what were the concentrations of TCE in both air and water at 25C?

Hot water is added to the precipitate, and a white solid remains after filtration. The white solid is treated with aqueous NH3, and the precipitate turns grey or black. The resulting solution is treated with HNO3 and no precipitate forms. What cations can you determine to be present, absent or maybe present? Explain your reason

A generic version for Drug X is applying registration to the FDA. For the generic drug to be approved, it must prove bioequivalence with an innovator/originator drug. However, the company registering Drug X is applying for an exemption for in vivo bioequivalence testing. To qualify for this exemption, one of the requirements is to prove that it can be highly soluble in an aqueous buffer of pH 1.2, 4.5, 6.8. As the drug formulator, you need to prepare these buffers to test your sample. 1. For the pH 4.5 buffer, you must use acetic acid and sodium hydroxide: CH3COOH + NaOH → NaCH3COO + H2O The Ka of acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, calculate the molar ratio of [conjugate base]/[weak acid] that must be used in preparing the buffer. 0.29 B. 0.57 C. 0.87 D. 1.14 2.

4) How would your calculated value of Kup be affected by errors introduced from the following sources? Be specific in your answer. State whether Ksp would be too large, too small, or not affected, and explain why that error would have that effect on Ksp c. Although the KIOs used to standardize the Na2S20s is labeled as 0.0100 M, its actual concentration is somewhat higher than 0.0100 M. d. Extraneous water is introduced from wet filter paper or wet funnels, or by washing the precipitate during the final filtration of Ca(IOs)2.
When working with starch indicator is not one of the things to be considered? A. The indicator should be prepared fresh. If kept waiting, a substance called dextrose is released as a result of bacterial breakdown. Since this substance is reducing, it causes excessive consumption of S2O32-. B. Since the presence of substances such as gelatin and alcohol prevents the formation of amylose-I2 adsorption compound, it should not be present in the environment. C. The indicator sensitivity decreases with increasing temperature. Therefore, it should be worked at room temperature. D. Since starch is not soluble in water, the starch solution must be dissolved in alcohol while being prepared.
Over time, as their free fatty acid (FFA) content increases,edible fats and oils become rancid. To measure rancidity, the fator oil is dissolved in ethanol, and any FFA present is titrated withKOH dissolved in ethanol. In a series of tests on olive oil, a stocksolution of 0.050 Methanolic KOH was prepared at 25C, storedat 0C, and then placed in a 100-mL buret to titrate any oleic acid[CH₃(CH₂)₇CH=CH(CH₂)₇COOH] present in the oil. Each offour 10.00-g samples of oil took several minutes to titrate: thefirst required 19.60 mL, the second 19.80 mL, and the third and fourth 20.00 mL of the ethanolic KOH.(a) What is the apparent acidity of each sample, in terms of mass% of oleic acid? (Note:As the ethanolic KOH warms in the bu-ret, its volume increases by a factor of 0.00104/C.)(b) Is the variation in acidity a random or systematic error? Ex-plain.(c) What is the actual acidity? How would you demonstrate this?
Consider the titration illustrated in Figure 8.] Anhydrous sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) is a primary standard. When 0.364 grams of the substance is placed in a conical flask, then 20.00 cm³ of sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) solution is required to reach the end point of the titration. What is the concentration in mol·dm⁻³ of the sulphuric acid solution? [Give the answer to 3 decimal places. Do not type in the unit. Use a decimal point.] *
