You are given a pure unknown compound with a melting point of 118 – 120°C, which is either mandelic acid (lit. mp = 118 -120°C) or succinic anhydride (lit. mp = 119 – 120°C), along with pure samples of mandelic acid and succinic anhydride. You determine the mp of an approximately 50:50 mixture of the unknown sample and succinic anhydride to be 118-120° C. What is the identity of the unknown sample? a. succinic anhydride b. mandelic acid

In a chromatographic analysis, it was found out that distance travelled by the alcohol solvent is 4 cm away from the finish line. The distance travelled from the starting line to finish line is 40 cm. The first amino acid, AA1 travelled 6 cm behind the distance travelled by the alcohol. The second amino acid, AA2 travelled 12 cm short from the solvent front while the third amino acid, AA3 travelled 8 cm ahead of AA2. Calculate: Rf of AA1 ____ Rf of AA2____ Rf of AA3____ (Rf= Retention factor)
6.0 mL of cyclohexanol, 8 mL of 85% phosphoric acid, and 10 drops of sulfuric acid are added to a 50-mL round-bottom flask with boiling chips, and the mixture is distilled into an ice-cooled receiver. The distillate is in the form of a colorless bi-phasic mixture. The cyclohexene upper layer is removed from the water layer, and dried over anhydrous calcium chloride. Isolated is cyclohexene as a clear and colorless foul-smelling liquid. Weighing data is given below. Gross mass: 51.24 g Tare mass: 48.04 g Product mass: 3.2g Question: Calculate the theoretical mass of the cyclohexene product, bearing in mind that the cyclohexanol starting material was measured by volume, not by mass (so you must use the density of cyclohexanol to convert milliliters to grams, before calculating the number of moles). Calculate the percent yield of cyclohexene obtained.

You suspect a given substance, unknown X, to be either pure acetaminophen (melting point = 169°C) or pure 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (melting point = 172°C). Subsequently, you perform a mixed melting point analysis by making the following three samples that yield the results below: · - Unknow X alone yielded a melting range of 165-169°C · - Unknown X mixed in a 50/50 ratio with acetaminophen yielded a melting range of 154-162°C · - Unknown X mixed in a 50/50 ratio with 1,4-dihydroxybenzene yielded a melting range of 169-172°C Given the data above, what is the identity of unknown X? (Multiple Choice: Only one answer is correct, and only one answer can be selected) A. 1,4-Dihydroxybenzene B.Neither acetaminophen or 1,4-dihydroxybenzene C. Acetaminophen
