Question
When a solution of 1.00 g of ‘X’ in 100 ml of water was shaken with 10 ml of diethyl ether, 0.60 g of X was transferred to the solvent (ether) layer.
When another solution of 0.5 g of ‘X’ in 100 ml of water was shaken with 5 ml of petroleum ether, 0.3 g of X was extracted by the solvent.

- In regards to freezing point depression: The original experiment calls for 3 grams lauric acid and .4 g benzoic acid to be melted and then observed to crystalize to demonstrate freezing point depression. A student misreads the directions and adds 4.0 g of benzoic acid instead of 0.4 g. What do you expect to happen? Would the experiment still be valid? Explain your reasoning. I think that since the amount of lauric acid (3g) doesnt change that the solution may be too oversaturated with benzoic acid. I'm not sure if this would still demonstrate freezing point depression since it is a colligative property based on amount of solute....arrow_forwardA compound containing only boron, nitrogen, and hydrogen was found to be 40.3% B, 52.2% N, and 7.5% H by mass.

- 0.0851 kg of biphenyl (C H,) is dissolve in benzene (CH) to create a solution with a total volume of 350.0 mL. (Assume the change in volume is negligible) If the boiling point of pure benzene is 80.1 °C, then what would be the boiling point of this solution in °C?

You are asked to calculate the Kf for t-butyl alcohol (MW = 74.122 g/mol). You gather the following information in your experiment. You weigh out 2.124 g t-butyl alcohol and you determine the freezing point of the solvent t-butyl alcohol is 21.6 °C (freezing point pure t-butyl alcohol). You then add water to the test tube with the t-butyl alcohol and measure the freezing point to be 15.3 °C. What key piece of information are you missing to calculate the Kf?arrow_forward
